I don’t buy into the “anyone can build a gun” argument anyway.

Bullets in america are not tracked, logged, or otherwise managed in any way by the american government. They don’t matter for making a gun because literally anyone can walk up to their local pawn shop and get some without any identity checks or other hassle.

Guns made by 3d printers are kinda shitty, in the exact same way that jellyfin is kinda shitty compared to Netflix. They both do the job, but one just takes more time and effort to get running.

Making a untracked 3d-printed glock is entirely doable by the average Joe.

You kinda have to play the lottery with the HDMI cards; some of the can strip it, some of them can’t. And it looks like some of them strip it and get detected.

They can’t advertise that as a feature either, so it’s a bit of a crapshoot. It may be worth finding the latest reddit post about it to see if anyone has a specific model that was working in the past year.

No, exactly. That’s the problem. You can’t really advertise ergonomics without it looking really different; so everyone just says “wider and thinner than ever before” and calls it a day. So we’re here; with everything the wrong size and shape.

The most comfortable phone I ever used was similar to the middle phone in this picture; except the buttons were raised even higher, and the middle key wasn’t a scroll wheel, just another simple button. It was also thinner, and had less rounded edges.

Y’all appear to have forgotten what phones felt like before things got to this extreme.

It was for ergonomics; it’s easier and more comfortable to hold a phone when it fits better in your hand. The phablet phase broke this for most people by making the screens super big, so they tried to correct by making the phones thinner.

A reasonable size phone that is thin enough would be perfect, but marketing doesn’t like it when they can’t advertise a bigger screen number, or a smaller thickness, so here we are.

Oh. I was joking. I’m aware that my storage capabilities really are an outlier, even though I still feel inadequate whenever I go to a hoarding community.

I’ve spent around 1200$ USD since I started collecting things back on 2021, which is about 300/year, or 25/month. I don’t expect to purchase anymore for another three years or so, right around when a 24tb drive drops to 150/each. It’s still not like, super cheap or anything though.

Nothing “almost” about it. Retail drives are available right now at 30tb. Although, the more reasonable price/GB is at around 8tb with occasional outliers.

Yeah. Normal people have about 100tb of total space. My 96tb (64tb usable) of space is completely average and not at all an indicator of something being wrong or abnormal.

If you visit their website, it looks like a scam website. Or maybe a hobby by a single person. https://zinwa.cn/

It has no photos of the actual product, it has no shipped products, even though the older version is supposed to ship this month, they link a discord on their website, and they use gmail for their email. It’s all just so halfassed for someone trying to ship a physical product.

I think my favorite quote from the video is “You don’t have to make a product that fits everyone for it to be a good product”.

Responding to attacks is not being high-conflict personality, that’s reversing the roles. People who are harassed and attacked are allowed to defend themselves.

That’s mostly true, but misses the point.

Point of order; a ‘high conflict personality’ is not a bad thing on its own. If we didn’t have people with them, open source would not exist as a community. Linus is infamous for his ‘high conflict personality’, although he has for sure cut back on it in recent years. People who get mad and fight back are a blessing and a requirement for humanity to succeed.

Everyone chooses to fight, de-escalate, or to not engage at all. The people who choose to fight, often and regularly, don’t have to be wrong to have a ‘high conflict personality’. They just have to semi-constantly choose to fight instead of the other options.

I looked at the only available evidence (which is from the posted article, because all of the github conversations were deleted) and it’s pretty clear that, of the available options, Micay did not choose to de-escalate. You could argue that deleting the feature request counted as an attempt at disengaging from the issue, but it pretty quickly changed from that to fighting about it.

I get that this is a pretty important issue to you tranquil, I see it in all the comments you’ve made here. But ThorrJo wasn’t making a moral accusation, but casual observation. Micay gets into drama, real or otherwise, enough to show up on a semi-regular basis.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been a regular user of grapheneos for the past year and I genuinely love what has been created. The work done on this software is incredibly important in this day and age, and I’m incredibly grateful to the people who made it.

I use this container with AirVPN; https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn

Port forwarding was incredibly easy to setup with this VPN, and transmission is enough for what I have. As a bonus, this docker container in particular has a shitload of documentation and support tickets behind it, which made troubleshooting a lot easier for me.

Apparently electron microscopes work in a vacuum. So this is a needle hole in skin, in a vacuum.

It’s a little misleading in that the last photo is zoomed in a lot more than the previous ones. This one has that without the extra zoom in.

Just be aware that it’s a lot less ‘first person shooter’ and more ‘strategy game from a first person perspective’ these days. I’m still so mad about their infantry combat overhaul.

Also, more importantly, squad is only sort-of compatible with linux. They’ve got DRM that does break things on the linux side on occasion since it’s not directly supported.

There was a pivot from milsim to cod style gameplay after or around their first beta testing started. Apparently not enough people liked the milsim gameplay, so they switched to more arcade stuff instead. It was touted as a win for actually properly done user experience testing, and small development teams combining to allow for more agile direction adjustments. This where the ‘remastered’ title came in, despite being the first release they did.

For me personally, it had some of the features of a milsim, like quicker deaths, squad chat, medics, etc, but lacked a lot of the team-oriented objectives that bring a team together, like larger maps, even quicker deaths, stamina management, resource management and spawns.

Essentially, it was a bit of a rough combination of arcade and milsim and didn’t quite fit the bill of either. If nearly every single gun takes 1-2 hits to kill someone, but spawns are setup so that they’re all within 100 yards of the other team, it really can get overwhelming incredibly quickly.

At least, that’s how it felt to me. If nobody is required to make spawn points since they just show up for the main objectives, nobody is going to bother to drive around and set it up better without being friends IRL, or actually just into that part of a milsim fps.

Battlebit is kinda dead after the devs started work on a sound update, failed to separate their prod and Dev source branches, and then realized they couldn’t make small changes without finishing the actually really big audio and everything else update first.

Also, battlebit is in a bit of a weird spot; it was made by the dev team as an arma/squad replacement for people without high tier setups, but was first published with more arcade elements than that initial start would have you expect it to have. There’s been a couple rumors that the devs aren’t happy with how arcadey the gameplay for it is.

It’s fun for what it is, but there’s not a whole lot of players on it lately, and future gameplay elements aren’t guaranteed.

The phone would be otherwise still fine despite being 2 years old. I’m sure even if it was covered, Google would find some way to not repair it under the program because it is a carrier unlocked model running GrapheneOS.

I had a different, also known hardware issue with my pixel 8 screen. I also use grapheneos. I used the pixel replacement policy that google had (the phone was still under warranty) and I didn’t even bother to put the OS back to default, just erased everything on it. They didn’t even bother to check for the default software, just that they got a pixel 8 back from me.

‘remove investments, have fun for the short time the world will exist’

I don’t see this is being a good financial choice unless you honestly believe that nuclear war is about to go down. If the measles gets as serious as covid, it still wouldn’t be a good idea.

Oh man, have you seen the state of new -INSERT MODERN DEVICE HERE- lately? Apparently nobody got the memo.
