The only thing that stopped him was the price of US bonds. It is all we should be focused on tanking

Prohibition made a very rich black market as will tariffs.

We are all just shuttles doing the bidding of the microbes

Yup. I was referring to the kink about girls with mom’s name

Roman guys… pff
It was that prostitute woman Magdalene he hung out and spent the night with. She did it right after washing his feet… a euphemism, if there ever was one, and his buddies even wrote that one down from memory four decades later. What do you recall about your drama friends from high school 40 years ago. Yeah. That bad

I’m 40, and so I experienced the naughties 2000-2010 in dating life. Everyone was just getting cell phones when I was in high school. Cell phones ended the expensive long distance phone calls over land lines. Prior to that, writing culture was the primary form of communication. My parents sent each other letters in the mail. Life was much slower, but information was much harder to come by. Entertainment sucked and was just whatever was on cable TV. Music and movies were monopolies that were largely dictated by a few elites.

People were more social though. Everyone is getting their endorphins from idiot bricks like we are doing right now stranger. There is very little actual motivation to socialize and without the deficit building up for days or weeks to motivate socializing, humans are less likely to put out enough effort or value their opportunities. Now the problem is connecting with someone in the real world while disconnecting from the zombie feed in equal measures as individuals to focus on each other.

acxtuaallly… in automotive class paints there are a great many factors involved. In old skool candies, they are all dyes and everything turns to baby diaper brown when mixed. The opacity has a lot of impact on how colors will mix. Red can be very odd at times, especially the more they edge towards blue. There are a few dozen reds and blues in a full mixing system for automotive paints. There are many that will act very unintuitive when mixed. Like it may look red, but it actually has a lot of white, with concentrated yellow and has some small amount of a brown that ends up red… but this is a mixing base paint and not something mixed manually. I used to think of all of my mixing paints in this kind of heuristic breakdown of how they act when diluted or mixed with other colors. There are many maroons or magentas that mix reds and blues. Even white is almost always yellow or blue and occasionally red. Pure white is very very rare. There is even an ultra bright white that is even brighter than the base white tone using UV trickery and a small amount of blue-violet. Not that anyone should care

Share something useful from Lemmy with someone not on Lemmy, when that something does not also contain toxic negativity or vitriol, but is positive, inclusive, and cordial.

oh pun door & exit

sus implications of curved banana

Not even a little bit. That is only present cultural norms and is entirely arbitrary. Incest is historically common and even considered preferential and a right in the past.

Poor poor baby anon gonna have Hapsburger looks

Mobile and fast broadband internet is what ruined gaming. Back in the day, it was impossible to download a game very reliably plus it was super slow if you tried. It was far easier to go to a store and buy the disks.

Mobile showed that there is an enormous crowd of extremely stupid people willing to throw hundreds of millions of dollars at adolescent half baked code and that the best retention and monetization is often with junk that is never fixed or is even broken worse over time. That standardized garbage and flooded the space with loads of slop. Just sorting through the slop is a chore now and fools have proven that it is profitable to take a giant shit of slop and dump it on everyone to let people pay their way through searching for undigested corn kernels in these places. The same is true of streaming. You pay for it to waste your time. You lower your expectations, and the cycle continues. It is profitable to target the stupidest people. Culturally, it will require the majority to stop being brain dead zombies, but good luck with that. We’re both zombies on an idiot brick right now.

My Linux terminal aliases cat=bat. That is all. This is a very Lemmy comment. It’s okay if you use Wac or Mindos

Half of Windows and Mac users just disappeared

While it can certainly wear a person down at times. Take a moment to appreciate the purpose and fulfilment you get from doing all of that.

Once upon a time, I did a lot too. After my broken neck and back, the hardest adjustment was pulling back the reigns and acknowledging my limits are only a tiny fraction of what I used to accomplish.

We kinda have a culture that focuses on the pressures and acknowledging how they can overwhelm and consume a person if not kept in check. That is good; that is healthy. However, it is easy to also miss out on the value of accomplishment and the feelings of purpose in life.

I never really noticed or understood why older people often tell stories about things like their big house renovation projects of the past instead of things they are interested in or would like to accomplish in the present. After disability struck prior to middle age for me, I find myself often doing the same story telling.

With great capacity for accomplishing large projects comes a hopeful optimism hiding under the surface and driving a person to attempt something large or daunting. Eventually, that capacity fades. If it fades gradually, I believe the rate of decline likely softens the negative impacts and masks the contrasting richness of life and purpose created by such accomplishments. You have plenty of time to relax and still do much, but don’t forget to take pause and appreciate the now. The biggest challenges are often eventually twisted by the mind into the fondest of memories after the passing of enough time.

If vanadium was like a typical chromium browser, I’d still be burning battery. Vanadium is core to Graphene. It is part of webview which is how basically everything works on the device. Someone explained it to me a few years ago, bit I don’t totally understand it. I got bad/typical battery life with a 4a and Firefox derivatives for privacy. It was only after I went to vanadium for everything that my battery life went much longer. Like, right now, I’ve had a bad health day so on my phone more than normal. It is 10:30 pm and I’m at 55% battery. I’ve watched around 2 hours of YT, played a few dozen rounds of Gauguin, read a few articles and spent a few hours on Lemmy today.

I default to 480p video with webp and I turn off my router’s 2.4G and only use 5G. I’m also using auto reboot stuff in Graphene to clear anything in persistent memory and the same in the router. Those also help with battery.

It isn’t just the network, and it isn’t just Graphene, but it all plays a part.

The way Graphene does root is what actually sold me. Having root generally available on any android device is insane. Tethering root to USB debug is a great solution when combined with the TPM, OTA, and the Auth app.

The way root is managed and the security of OTA updates along with the demonstrated knowledge of how Android users groups and SELinux effectively work are far superior to anything else I have seen in any ROM that I have run previously. Most others were little more than novel demonstrations of CVE vulnerability exploits and setups intended for oddball extra use cases and not a primary device in their implementation. Graphene is a legitimate ongoing secured solution well worth supporting. The TPM chip is a huge deal here.
