More astroturfed than homemade, but yeah. I mean Hitler cited Ford as an inspiration and gave him an award in 1940 something. It’s been gross for a long time.

Iirc using the ‘delete’ button just does the equivalent of breaking the link to a picture. The data is still there.

does anyone still gets a newspaper?

you’re probably right. isn’t that pretty much what they tried to do with cloud computing and storage?

I’ve been on the brink for a while but learning a whole new OS is going to be hard with a dissociative disorder. though I did just find out game compatibility is way better than I thought, so that’s one roadblock down.

im usually the most tech savvy of my friends and no one I know is already using it. That’s kind of the situation I assume most people are in. no one they know is using Linux and for whatever reason they don’t have the ability or time to learn it themselves.

yeah we primarily watch on a Samsung TV through a PS5. I’m not seeing any alternatives for either device. I might be able to slap together a desktop from spare parts but I’m not sure I want to start maintaining a whole other computer.

Probably time to make a switch either way, what with them paywalling HDR and h.265

what’s with h265 that’s everyone’s acting like it’s some massive hurdle that you should have to pay to be able to use files with that encoding? that’s one of the things Plex has paywalled already and it’s becoming harder and harder to find good quality content that isn’t in that format.

the second one you describe are more delusions of hallucinations. intrusive thoughts are fairly harmless and pretty much every experiences them.

honestly people like to talk about about moneyless societies but I’d imagine it would still be around for a while. I imagine a system where people chip into a fund to provide a bounty of sorts for jobs that require extreme skill or a strong stomach.

what does “can’t beat the ride” mean in this context?

id imagine most of those people are on rednote

light mode gives me migraines dude. it’s more important than just a color preference.

how familiar are you with the concepts of gender identity and expression?

fr. if you can play cs you can play Minecraft. hell it’s basically a wilderness survival game at it’s core.

peculiar? those are all very common interests, just stereotypically feminine
