Wait, I’m not “young people”? (37)

I like that Cory Doctorow is pretty open about having been scammed despite being quite well informed, because it really can happen to anyone. It just takes the right convergence of factors.

Yes, the mitochondria and all the other organelles. We’re mostly egg.

And people forget that we’re also the egg.

I was very confused until I realized you mean flat elastic bands which I’m not so familiar with (the ones I’m used to, have square cross sections).

Was it because of that other post about the two genders Fe (iron) and Mn (Manganese)?

Well it does say “4life”

I know someone named Pia. Never thought it was weird but we didn’t interact in English

Ah yes, the eye of the volcano

We ordered a Librem 5 in 2017 and still nothing.

We even requested for a refund in 2022; still no answer. No communication at all. Don’t even know what to do about it in terms of legal processes, it was certainly not an insignificant amount of money for us.

My problem is that the "Can you do something about it?" is always unclear, I go back and forth until it consumes my thoughts.

Whenever we drive through one of these we’re stressed about finding the right exit and the GPS stops working inside the tunnels so we end up coming out where we didn’t mean to.

We don’t own a car or anything anymore, but I really don’t miss these.

Same. My partner and I are engaged but there’s never going to be a diamond in the picture. If they had found the diamond ritual important, we wouldn’t be too compatible.

I also cannot deal with rings in general due to sensory issues.

We do want to find some kind of wearable, interesting symbol though.

This is such a beautiful comment.

Logseq has worked best for me and my ADHD so far.

This sounds like a boast but it’s actually sad? Like I live in Europe and a lot of people I know seriously have functional alcoholism, but it’s normal enough that nobody thinks it a problem until it is. Alcohol is a pretty strong drug. It doesn’t matter if you can “take it”, it’s still doing things in your body.

Now that I think about it, I had to tweak some settings for HZD according to some guide, but I don’t remember exactly what I did. After that, it worked quite well. Perhaps it wasn’t 60 fps but 40? For me that was good enough.

It could still depend on standards. For example people seem to say Rimworld is great on the Deck but I absolutely disagree.

Tried Hollow Knight for the first time on the Deck, it works so well!

I’m not even specially good at gaming but I thought Hornet (a Hollow Knight boss) was quite enjoyable and not that hard and I wonder if it has to do with the Deck controls, since everyone has mentioned how difficult that one is (I did find all other bosses very difficult so this is not a boast).

Edit to mention that Horizon: Zero Dawn is another one that I only tried with the Deck and it also works really well, though this one consumes a lot more battery compared to HK.

For me, I just get an additional urgency, like, if they block these things more and more I may as well download as much as I can while I still can. As a side effect I’m also passively seeding more.

I got the “doubling down” part, but hadn’t seen that the screenshot was about a Dublin location until another user pointed it out.
