I mean, they pretty clearly did not wear anything or have shame until they sinned. Then they were ashamed of their nakedness and tried to cover themselves with leaves. When God came to them he killed an animal and clothed them with animal skin.

I looked at the Fairphone. Would love to go that route, but unfortunately the price is too high for now (and no headphone jack, lol). Maybe in the future it’ll drop, we’ll see.

Thanks for the reply! The more I read about Asus being scummy the less I want to get the zenfone.

Re: Pixel 9 pro, I figured I should aim for the latest one so I can get the longest time out of it. I see a few different refurbs on ebay for $460-$560 USD. Unlocked ones are ~$570. Generally a pretty cheap way to get decent phones.

Pixel 3a XL. It’s served me well but is a few years outside of updates now.

I’m thinking that a pixel is probably the best bet. Looking into the best way to mod a headphone jack onto it lol.

Why is there a random watermark on an xkcd? The original is here, for anyone who wants the alt text: https://xkcd.com/2943/

Thanks for doing this! I’d like Bridge Constructor Portal if it’s still available.

No, that’s Brita.

Better is the name of a commonly kept freshwater fish that’s very territorial against other members of its species.

It’s a hot time in the old town tonight!

This bean… Is not an ordinary bean!

I for one enjoyed the movie a lot. Had fun with it.

Being already established, you have a few advantages over the newbies. You know about how a few different instances federate and work, and you know whether or not you like your instance.

Recommend your instance. Or if you wouldn’t, whether because it’s niche or doesn’t work well in general, recommend a generic instance, even if it is .world, because it will probably work and give a good experience.

ONENAUGHT POINT 21 JIGAKILOWATTS!

I use Connect on Android primarily.

OCR and especially AI image processing takes a lot of computing power, much much more than filtering plain text.

Fair on the confirmation bias. I guess I should’ve said that I see this post every couple of weeks, even though I have a keyword filter blocking anything with the word “Musk” in the title.

I wasn’t aware that Lemmy had much of a personalized algorithm, beyond a simple upvote/down vote system with older posts falling down the list. Comments might boost it in the Hot sorting maybe? I doubt the content of those comments matters much.

I’ve got a conundrum with this post. Somehow, every time it’s posted (every couple of weeks) it lacks the word “Musk” in the title, which bypasses my keyword filter and it shows up on my feed.

Next time this is reposted could whoever does it put Musk in the title so I don’t have to see it?

IIRC, he was messing with the kids and knew it was off because the lights were off. He proceeded to put his hands on it and convulse wildly as a joke.

Very true. Mostly just haven’t had the time. Also want to set up a little home server to play around with Proxmox and move Jellyfin off my main PC.

Yeah, DNS blocking is quite effective for not just ads, but also telemetry on Roku.

Personally, I use nextdns until I can can a good pihole setup going.

And when they finally do wear out, send them in for a brand new pair!

It’s not healthy to be alone forever. Humans need community of some kind (hopefully in person.)

That said, quitting social media is totally possible. Humans have lived without it for the vast majority of our societal existence.
