I imagine you could filter it with uBlock right?

That was ultimately what I did - apart from a single instance, I haven’t logged into my Reddit account since the API changes.

I feel that any engagement is good to them (even with an adblocker), not to mention when spez said “You’ll all come back.”

I was so sad when my Nexus 7 gave up the ghost (quite literally fizzled and nothing more) but I got a solid 10 years out of it.

I loved how easy they were to work on, the NFC, the unlockable bootloader, the ROM support, headphone jack of course. We didn’t know how good we had it then.

It’s very likely that I saw a repost, but I also remember that imagery on Reddit too, so you aren’t alone (on Lemmy at least) in coming across that post. Wish I had a link or something to help you find it.

I’ve never really given any credibility to the Tiananmen Square denials but that post cemented any possible doubt I could have had.

I just had a quick play around with it, HEIC converter is something I didn’t know I needed (I have a large backup from my iPhone which has HEICs), and I like the .eml parser just to name a couple.

I’ll be adding this to my server for sure. Thanks for sharing

I totally agree, they’re mad little machines. I’m only selling mine because I can’t stand the combined touchpad/track point setup Lenovo did in that generation and I quickly replaced it with an X260. Both of them are capable of damn good battery life (I get about 5-6 hours from my X260)

I’ve been planning on selling a couple older laptops (Latitude E6420 and ThinkPad X240) and this is a fantastic idea. The former laptop doesn’t even have Windows 10 drivers (that I know of)

SMS is incredibly antiquated as soon as you want to do anything multimedia, or heck sending an SMS longer than 144 characters.

My mother received a video over SMS the other day and it legitimately looked like it was filmed on a Nokia 6310.

I’ve encouraged my family to use Signal to replace SMS and it functions really well as an SMS upgrade. It’s more secure, private, supports sending decent quality multimedia, the interface is simplistic, it has formatting, does video calls well, and you can send a long message without it being a hacked together string of 5 messages.

From both a security and usability perspective, it wins out on SMS in my opinion.

Edit: there’s also the nightmare of group chats with SMS. I hate when extended family try to use it

It’s clearly a complete the CAPTCHA challenge.

Please enter the word you see above

Windows 11 is the best operating system Microsoft have released in a long time, and I think it wins out on Arch Linux.

Agreed, and to be fair I still stop in at niche subreddits I used to follow to see what’s new, but never logged in.

This is the actual reason for me too. I’m making a point to never visit that website again.

There’s exceptions like when searching for troubleshooting help and a relevant result happens to be on Reddit, but otherwise I avoid it as much as possible.

This is exactly how I feel when I use my TrackPoint and my colleague’s like “CALL IT WHAT IT IS, IT’S A NIPPLE”

I don’t get the hate comments here other than “hurr durr im on a morally superior social media and your daughter isn’t”. Yes, Rednote is a Chinese app with Chinese ideals, proprietary, non-free, foreign telemetry etc etc. but at the end of the day sounds like your daughter’s having fun on an app that’s not too indifferent from TikTok.

Careful saying that round these parts, you’ll summon the ducks.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly, even before reading the comments. Yeah, it’s a shitpost, but “Oh, Wallace is considered bottom of the barrel because… he’s like 100?” Straight up ageism.

There was a new kernel update so with some time they’ll start coming through after finishing compiling

If you do have any Zen games to recommend that don’t have a long learning curve, let me know!

Other than Minecraft, I’ll casually play some old iPad games on an iPad 2 I still have.

I don’t have an exact number but it would have to be at least 5000 hours I’ve sunk into Minecraft. Been on and off the game since 2013, I’d get bored of the current version and switch to Beta (fairly sizable community on r/goldenageminecraft), I’d do some worlds where I’d obtain stuff in older versions that weren’t obtainable later (whole wiki on Discontinued Minecraft items/blocks/structures/entities), of course I’d do modded.

I think the thing with Minecraft for me is that I spent all the time learning the game back in high school when I had more free time than I do as an adult, and I can nowadays play it extremely casually (~3 hours/week).

Its hard for me to get into new games (most recent game I got was Dredge) because I have like 2 hours a session to learn it, and it might be a few days between sessions.

Similar story here. For me what killed my enjoyment of it was the developer teasing and announcing Unturned 4.x but taking so long to polish it, that Unturned 3.x got abandoned.

He’s come back to Unturned 3.x since I stopped playing, but the fun’s no longer there for me anymore. I enjoyed the crap out of the arena gamemode and the creative servers (I basically played it more like a sandbox than a survival PVP game) but neither really have players anymore.
