apprentice bench jeweler, but during the day all i really do is wait on customers so i end up with WAY too much free time. i get to make all sorts of cool shit tho!

no users, but i have blocked 117 (mostly porn) communities and 2 entire instances

so i do torrent stuff when i want to keep it, but the vast majoriy of my media i just stream from whatever shady site i happen to find it on first. it’s too quick and easy.

protip if you ever have trouble finding anything, just use yandex. russia doesn’t give a SHIT about copyright violations or DMCA complaints.

Mission to Zyxx and The Orbiting Human Circus. Both absolute masterpieces in their own ways.

320gb hdd I had laying around that would otherwise just collect dust due to it’s miniscule size.

i put a 512gb drive in a thinkpad less than a decade ago and thought at the time “boy this might be overkill”

and now i can get 2tb on a fucking microsd for a cheaper data/cost ratio than i did back then, wild.

If you did it with someone else’s photo and THEY said it was doxxing, I think I’d be inclined to side with them. Since it’s your own photo I reckon you get to decide whether or not it’s doxxing.

I’d hesitate to do it myself, but I send a lot of lemmy posts to my friends, who are very intentionally not all equally apprised of my interests/identity lmao

It physically hurts me to see so many other people loved the PSP as much as me, and we’ll never get to go back.

Make sure you don’t skip any of the goof ass noir/comic book cutscenes. Some real fucken bangers in there.

I love it and I notice when it’s absent. The coolest thing about games as an art medium is player choice and the potential to “break the game”. Playing in a way the developer didn’t intend is probably consistently the most fun I have in games, and advanced movement tech like crouch jumps almost always creates unintentional whackiness.

I think starting a sentence with “For those like me” is a pretty clear indication that someone is speaking for themself

e: i’m just being catty btw, it’s a totally fine use of the phrase

photogimp exists and is fantastic

“The social rating figures don’t affect [a person’s] life, the availability of services or the career trajectory in any way, but who knows what these figures will mean for you in the future?”

What does that even mean? You can’t say “they won’t affect you” and also “who knows how they will affect you?”

The phones being worse than the ones I prefer to use.

Like, they’re objectively less functional devices. I can’t pretend the features drops for every new model/OS aren’t just things android has has for years.

Omfg the comment section lovers are literally a vocal minority, this is kinda silly to see play out.

So cool! I love that that’s first party accessibility controllers available, ain’t NO WAY they need to be that expensive though!!

But the entire industry is built around frequent updates and outmoding older models. I had a phone that was no older than 2 Y/O when my cell carrier did some kind of tower update that rendered it completely unusable.

I hate that we’re conditioned to treat these powerful computers like throwaway technology just because a marginally improved model is made available.

That garbage tablet gave me lasting resentment for ARM processors.

Nintype (AKA keyboard 69) is the only double-swipe keyboard I’ve ever used that works worth a damn. Android development was abandoned a while ago, so you’ve gotta find the APK yourself. Someone on the subreddit made a hackjob update called keyboard 71 which fixes some random bugs and introduces some new ones, that’s what I’m currently using. I wanna say I average around 85 wpm typing casually.

It’s also got the smartest autocorrect I’ve ever fucked with, learning dictionary, all that jazz. Damn shame it was abandoned. If it ever stops working on android I reckon I’ll just have to buy an iphone :/

If your hair is neither thick nor fine and you’re not having any problems with buildup or dryness, you’re totally fine to just keep doing what you’re doing. Also if you’ve got straight and/or short hair you can probably ignore the no-sulfates/silicones stuff.

Most hair care products are designed for a specific kind of hair, usually straight and pretty flat. I started using black hair care products and my hair went from wavy and frizzy to natural ringlets and only sorta frizzy! SheaMoisture is my personal favorite brand.

This is only really beneficial for certain types of hair, and definitely don’t do it with conditioners containing sulfates, parafinss, or silicones. This site has a comprehensive list of products that aren’t filled with garbage what’ll leave your hair drier than it started.
