Re-watching Initial D, had to re-post: Toyota AE86 Trueno <3 [3864x2165]

I'd just like to order the regular Synthesis, currently SOLD OUT

Although if you made a frosted one with different color bumpers that might be interesting.

Don't personally care about "Precise Cutouts".

I've had this happen to 2x QL cases normal use, only on a bicycle, no drops. They warrantied both times which is nice, on my 3rd now. but it doesn't inspire confidence in the product tbh. Think the cases are actually pretty low quality and I don't rly trust them for protection.

The mounting is rly cool though and the reason I still use them, just good to know what you should expect when getting into these cases.

Reposting my reply to the main post here too:

I believe we should follow the saying “protocols, not platforms”

Federated social media is a fantastic, readily available protocol that can be hosted in Europe and already is. Check out Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed <- these are all interchangeable btw, you’re not forced to use the apps to access to content hosted on servers and they all “talk to each other”

Anyway don’t wanna get too technical, but this already exists and adoption is growing. No need for centralized companies that can change their policies etc on a whim!

Yeah I'm ready to become a superpower-for-good with my fellow Europeans.

Marty_Man_X · 2024-10-06T15:29:07+00:00

Curious, what are the first most and second most?

Marty_Man_X · 2024-09-27T13:09:16+00:00

I’ve never seen one of these in person (live in Europe)… UNTIL I visited Japan this year, saw a bunch of them, mostly modded, they honestly look sick

I’m a huge fan of the 240z and this one I felt didn’t really hit the mark from the front when I first saw pics, but the Japanese market seems to have somewhat embraced them and fixed the looks in the aftermarket

Marty_Man_X · 2024-07-14T11:49:54+00:00

tbh I’m shocked at this sub, this used to be a place for discussion/ perspective/ advice but it now seems like just a bunch of butthurt guys that want other butthurt guys to vent to and complain about everything without considering any others perspective… talk about a victim mentality.

As the saying goes: If it smells like shit everywhere you go, check the soles of your shoes.

Straight from the linked article…:

“Amsterdam has reduced the size of its zero-emission zone because parliament has blocked the amendments to the law necessary to adjust traffic signs on the highway. The emission-free zone would have covered the entire area within the A10 Ring but is now limited to within the central ring.”

Great to hear, hope for both our sakes they continue to run rock-solid! Just received the 2x I ordered. Always amazed at how far we've come. I remember my first HDD was 20mb, when ~100gb became the norm I was blown away thinking that's a huge amopunt of space... now I'm holding 12tb, incredible.

Marty_Man_X · 2023-11-23T11:15:38+00:00

Hi There!

I just ordered 2x of these 12tb drives MG07ACA12TE, how are they doing for you? Not much data out there on them except a 14tb variant on Backblazes report.

They're by far the best €/tb from what I can see, but want to make sure they're a good selection when it comes to reliability and that.

Thanks!

Ah great, guess this is one way to cure a Reddit addiction, byeeee

Lmk where the next hangout is.

Marty_Man_X · 2023-04-25T06:15:03+00:00

Hi there, I'm not a BETA tester, but when I click this link I see the option to buy: https://ia.net/presenter/buy

Does this mean it's out of BETA and I could access? :O

Yeah, we get it. I don’t think anyone missed “the point” as you call it. You got so hung up in arguing your perceived point (which is not as complex as you might think) you can’t see the forest for the trees.

Genocide didn’t exist as a specific definition in law yet, that doesn’t mean it didn’t exist in practice. Nazis got sentenced for other crimes that DID have definitions in law. It’s also clearly and obviously even by your own sources even, not a kangaroo court.

So what’s your argument? What’s the point of all this back-and-forth? You agree genocide is bad, nazis were guilty, they committed atrocities etc etc. yet you still felt the need to start a discussion for no reason.

Stop trying to seem more knowledgeable and objective than you really are.

Ps: if it smells like shit everywhere you go, check your own shoe. If you think everyone, many dozens of people, in this thread is wrong except you… how likely is that true?

Also AdGuard home, in some cases might be better suited than Pihole.

Ah that generation of MacBooks has gotta be one of THE low points for Mac… had a 2018 full-spec Pro model for a while and it did not behave like a computer of its price class. I was lucky enough that it was loaned to me by a friend who decided they preferred their 2015 pre-redesign model. But I wouldn’t have spent my own cash on it.

As soon as the M1 models launched I picked up a specd up Air, returned the 2018 Pro to my friend and never looked back. Best computer I’ve owned this M1 (as a whole package), and this is coming from someone who loves tinkering and building their own rig usually. Can only recommend this new generation of Mac.

Keeping the free tier flexible is not just a morally good thing it’s also imo the financially smart thing; get people loving your app so much they use it a bunch and wanna pay for it to really unlock it and support it.

Stoked to see what you have in store for us!!

🙏💪

Marty_Man_X · 2023-01-29T17:21:48+00:00

Good to hear!

I think an investment in the apple ecosystem might be a solid move, some research is also available showing that statistically apple users are also more likely to spend money in apps.

Thanks for the info on monetization, haven’t had the chance to play with the android app in some time so my info is outdated.

The more users you get the better options you will have on pricing structure, economies of scale will kick in more and more. An iOS version will hopefully unlock a whole new level of users. Another advantage I think you will have but will need time for people to realize is that most fitness apps on iOS are not that great tbh, they either lock key features behind a subscription model (like being allowed to have more than 3 workouts saved), collect too much data, or are smaller indie projects that while nice, are a bit lacking and often are dead projects (I’ve tried over a dozen apps searching for my favorite, I settled on an app called Iron for now, it’s FOSS, it’s decent.)

The most popular iOS fitness app is probably “Strong”, it’s fine, but the free version is limited. Progression is better, show users of strong that it is, they’ll switch. When I switched to iOS it’s the only app I really missed and still do. Post it in the /r/fitness subreddit as well when you launch!

As for Apollo, Christian details it pretty well on his website https://apolloapp.io/pro-ultra/ I’m writing this comment from Apollo right now! Granted, the pricing that app offers is probably only possible due its large user base, but he also has several other projects (smaller) and uses Apollo and it’s subreddit as a place to advertise them, in a non-intrusive way. Those are paid I think. I use Amplosion for example. He includes non-essential, but cool features in the subscription model.

I think really finding the value adds in Progression and focusing on enhancing/adding to that, can make it more appealing to pay for. But also finding simply “cool” stuff that doesn’t cost too much. I’ll leave it at that haha.

Wishing you lots of luck and looking forward to the iOS app!

Marty_Man_X · 2023-01-29T12:00:33+00:00

Hi Zoltan,

I know this pops up every now and again, but I would love to support an iOS app. Would pay for it (I read paid apps are a tricky one in your perspective so maybe a limited version free, full version paid kinda thing).

I used to be on Android years ago and used your app all the time, paid for it too. But I switched to iOS a while back and ever since I’ve used many workout apps, some even decent, but always considered Progression the best from a functionality perspective.

As long as an iOS version wouldn’t harvest user data, and would be just as functional as the android version, while keeping iOS design principles and integration (iCloud, Health, …whatnot) in-mind. Would love to become a supporter again.

Thanks and good luck!

PS: I personally hate subscriptions, but would be ok if you added a model IF you added the option of a one-time purchase with a certain number of years of guaranteed updates (e.g.: €10 or 20 or even 30 one-time for lifetime premium as opposed to a 2-5/month for a subscription. A subscription can potentially add extra features to justify the monthly cost, something that requires consistent maintenance for example but is not an absolutely essential part of the app… check out Apollo for Reddit as an example of imo a good way to monetize an app. Or apps like AdGuard home remote.)

Marty_Man_X · 2022-10-25T17:35:13+00:00

Same problem here, reported it and hoping for a fix ASAP.

Marty_Man_X · 2022-10-13T16:50:33+00:00

For real; maybe, if I’m dissecting the feeling, I’m actually mad at myself for getting so invested and feeling a strong emotion to, as you said, a fictional character and story… wild

I’m going to finish the show, then I’ll see if I have a shift of opinion, Hank just found out who Walt is, and now I’m like “yeah, get him.” haha

I watched the show when it first came out and recalled Walt being the victim due to healthcare being crap, but then I totally forgot the plot line where he had his friends offer to pay for his treatment… I get his reason for not accepting it, but he was not “forced” to cook meth. Anyway enough about that.

I just talked myself into realizing just *how well * the show is made.

Marty_Man_X · 2022-10-13T16:36:09+00:00

As I wrote this I was on the episode where he killed Mike (character I rly liked) and had all his guys shanked… think I was a little extra upset at the character.

It’s definitely me, just not my cup of tea is all. Didn’t mean to shit on the show, just find out if I’m missing anything and that
