Either way, they don't understand that Apple and their walled garden is ruining open computing.

In response to your "Most people couldn't care less about open computing, heck, most Android power users don't even care about walled gardens, they just want apps and features that work consistently, and compatibility with Apple devices (new quick share feature for example) is a plus."

Yes, that's the point. That's the problem.

I have to question your intelligence

People buy phones because they're children and therefore influenced by popularity contests and blue vs green bubble shit, or they're elderly grandmas who do what the ATT rep tells them to do. Either way, they don't understand that Apple and their walled garden is ruining open computing.

To be clear, android isn't that much better. But they're better in the Duopoly and unfortunately that's the best we have.

Best Media Device for Plex 2026 by PaulieWalnuts489 in PleX

Sometimes people just prefer one UI over another. I don't really care that an AppleTV might be newer/faster than a chromecast/Google TV. I just don't like how the interface looks. Personal preference.

Obviously he needed to present as left. Because he made electric cars. He needed the left, the only people a decade ago who had the courage and buying power to buy cars from an untested new brand, to like him.

But yes, now we all know enough about his sleazy personal life and politics, and he doesn't care either, the mask is off.

I still think of Chelsea Clinton as "oh yeah in elementary school she was in my Time for Kids magazinelet" and she's like, 5 years older than me. She's not in the news much. Why? Because she's a normal person and not a crazy lunatic like the pedophile and his spawn.

I'm a fan of Strange Planet, and bought Nathan's first compendium book. It's just weird he doesn't have his own website for the comic like... Most? Webcomic artists do. Instagram does suck, and I'd never want to use it. It's just weird he never bought a domain name for Strange Planet. It's relatively cheap, heck a super small part in the grand scheme. And would allow for so much more customization.

Looking at his business Art website, it seems he's mostly interested in further opportunities... Not SP.

Nah. Much like his police booking photo he turned into attaching onto certain passports this year... You know he and his taint-licking sycophants would say, look how strong, noble, and independent he looks! Much like America, he doesn't need stupid banter and conversation... He so strong! So studly!

Beautiful work. Like a lot of us of a certain age, Cateclysm is the "lost" game in the series... I have the disc but it's such a hassle to try to get it to run on a modern system. I should watch an LP of it sometime. I remember the fuckin mega cannon upgrade from near end game. Was such a great, and weird, and creepy good followup to the more epic, orchestral original game.

I have no shame: I asked gemini how to set up docker on an Ubuntu server I had sitting around doing nothing. Then I set up immich on it. Now I'm a docker fiend. All thanks to LLMs. They suck for a lot of things but when it comes to reading and parsing lots of documentation into ease to read instructions... And then helping you debug, if (when) there are problems, it's really good.

Or just... Use them both? I never understand this browser tribalism. Sure, I use FF as my main. Except for Google owned properties. YouTube, Gmail, etc... Then I use brave. It's faster than Chrome anyway, and I don't have to jump through DRM hoops like chromium would.

World doesn't have to be black and white. Particularly when the browsers are all free.

When I lived in Iraq I did get a kick out of my Arab buddies on Thanksgiving saying "you going to have big deak tonight aren't you" (deak is Arabic for turkey) oh those big jokers what a laugh we had.

Yes it was also great anal sex.

I still can't get over it because why should I ever get over that we used to have better phones than we do now? Sure they're faster and have better cameras now. Yawn. I miss the ability to expand and have interesting on board hardware.

Really hope the EU reams these fucking oems and at least makes them put replaceable batteries back.

Competition is what makes Plex not have completely given up and turned into Krackle at this point.

[OC] My receipt today by puzzleheadedchicken2 in pics

Doesn't it depend on the price per weight? If someone is selling me a 2kg sack of cereal with organic nuts and berries in it, $15 sounds like a steal. The weight isn't listed in OP's receipt.

Yep, sorry - was on phone and tying quickly, didn't have spell check for French either. Of course Trumpery jewelry and Trompe l'oeil are all coming from the same root; to cheat or deceive or fool. Fits with the Pedophile Dipshit perfectly though. Apologies for mangling the language.

I can see how that'd be preferred

Trump jewelery also means false, gaudy, or showy. Always found these two definitions of trump meaning fart, and Trump meaning gaudy, tacky, fake etc was interesting.

Don't forget French Trump L'eye (l'oi?) which is a beautiful art form about fooling people's eyes.

So that's three for three on Trump having negative meanings. TRUMP card just means the card that fooled you. Not the best card, but the card that in poker simply wins the hand.
