Many of my peers and I (1995-1999 ish) have to fight against the urge to be apathetic despite having supposedly progressive views. Personally, a lot of these “issues” should be no brainers (gun control please). If it’s not mandatory and nothing seems to change, why bother?
This sticker legitimately made my morning and would definitely get me and any friends I shared with it out to vote for the “memes” if we lived in Michigan. It’s hilarious
I don’t really have a stake in this race because it’s quite a dilemma (personally I like the idea of Graphene supporting more devices with varying security promises) but I’d imagine between buying a 2nd hand Pixel or exclusively using Google services, Google would rather people do the latter.
They simply make more out of data gathering and GrapheneOS sidessteps that, so as a user I’m leaning towards the former so I can more readily degoogle myself.
There was a time when the Google apps just worked, the applications were optimised for UX. Maybe I’ve just only noticed it now but the directions (and assistant in general) aren’t as useful, reliable, and filled with sponsored stuff.
what do you use for navigation and how does it compare?
From the article.
The creators expect the wooden material will burn up completely when the device re-enters the atmosphere—potentially providing a way to avoid the generation of metal particles when a retired satellite returns to Earth.
These metal particles could have a negative impact on the environment and telecommunications, the developers said as they announced the satellite’s completion on Tuesday.
be warned, it’ll give you unearned optimism about how responsible you are to revisit the tabs you saved but will never see the light of day again.

but because Kevin Conroy, I got it anyways.
Corporate greed ruins yet another thing I love.
I admire the late Conroy as much as the next guy but my brother in christ this mindset is exactly what fuels this level of quality by directly justifying it via your purchase.
You can’t solely blame these corporation if you continue to behave in ways that to support and incentivises them to utilise these strategies.
Made me have a healthier relationship with social media, my smartphone usage, and overall thinking. I almost exclusively used RiF and curated it enough that I could readily get lost in it for hours in threads and/or following drama.
I knew what I liked about reddit was the mods, the 3rd party apps, and the communities, and the company behind the website was the least appealing ineffectual part of the experience. They were slow in every sense of the word and consistently made out-of-touch decisions.
Lemmy was a great transition point for me. At first I was trying to treat it as a clone. Instead, I found a place (and the fediverse in general) where there wasn’t a mass amount of resources spent to keeping me engaged - it’s just content of the day, no strings attached.
I found a space that was indifferent to the amount of time I spent on it, passionate communities that were more responsive and literate, and just felt more respected as a person.
Encyclopedia [Medium: Success]: A solar eclipse, an astronomical phenomenon, occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking all or a portion of the Sun’s rays from reaching the Earth’s surface. This event captivates observers worldwide, blending science with awe-inspiring spectacle.
Inland Empire [Heroic: Success]]: No, this is a creative brilliance encapsulated. Do not sully it with trivia.
There’s pros and cons., though personally I used this calendar for my fiction writing.
I’d like to find a way to sync the lunar cycle and solar cycles since the earth’s, moon’s, and revolutions around the sun are soooo close (5 days off) plus it’d make sense to keep in theme with the Babylonian-esque base-60 system (where 60 is readily divided and a factor of 360 days, 12 months, 30 days, etc).
Which is pretty much what the Ancient Egyptians did.
*edit: pretty much have 5 “fake days” and add a sixth “fake” day to account for the gradual desync.
It’s going to be weaker in caffeine content but still stronger tasting. This is ideal if you are trying to reduce daily caffeine intake or just like the taste of strong coffee.
Some people still need a kick of espresso but don’t want/need 3 shots worth in a single drink.
Great post idea! A bit misleading cause she’s got range from chill (don’t)to upbeat/triumphant tunes (kattekekoyoi) for workouts.
Saved this post to refer later ✌️
I have YTMusic (lol) but came as no surprise (hence the name)- only started listening this year too
Person has an idea for an X-men RPG, conceptualised a little too well and loves it so much they cursed themselves with the awareness of difficulty of game development and it’s non-existence.
Decides to make a video and spread the curse to X-men and JRPG fans alike.
I wish I were half as funny as Oglaf lmfao
He’s too dangerous to be left alive.
The best dad jokes always leave me with this vibe
literally all fighting games. started with smash, loved to sf4, then dbfz. sucked hard but still f opening fgc content to this day - planning to buy sf6 when i get the chance/time
Nah it’s not just you. Anytime I decide to start a radio while working, half the time I discover absolute bangers that I add to my playlists that balances between matching the vibe and distinct - which isn’t as easy as it seems.
Amazing journaling/personal information managment software. I love that once you understand how it works, you can journal however you like and it “maps” out how your connect concepts. Not exaggerating when I say it helped me piece a lot of concepts and personal themes together
