2nd hand Samsung from 3 years ago is still better and cheaper.

Cheaper? Yes. Better? Hell no, unless you can root it and install a custom ROM.

Tbh it’s not as bad as I was expecting. Those clips could definitely have resulted in an accident, but the system seems to actually work most of the time. I wonder if it couldn’t be augmented with lidar at this point to make it more reliable? A live stress test is ridiculously irresponsible and will definitely kill people, but at least it’s only Texans at risk (for now).

I was skeptical of the idea of robotaxis, but this kind of sold me on it. If they’re cheaper than human drivers, I might even be able to get rid of my car some day. It doesn’t change the fact that I’ll never get into one because the CEO is a nazi though.

Anyone know why the Signal app isn’t available on F-Droid? Isn’t it supposed to be open source?

My parents’ feeds are already getting flooded with videos about how evil and scary Iran is

Throw Musk in prison for his many documented crimes, but don’t support this kind of dictator shit.

The only movie that legit made me cry was Seven Pounds with Will Smith. I only saw it once, and I tried real goddamn hard to suppress the tears, but a few leaked out. Luckily, none of the people I watched it with noticed, so my masculinity remained in-tact.

I’m asking as I’m trying to understand empathy and whether it’s normal to get so invested in fake characters,

Fuck yeah it is. It’s a beautiful thing to be so moved by something that it brings you to tears (especially art). It’s what makes us human: we’re not just mindless beasts trying to eat and fuck, we’re experiencing life to its fullest.

Didn’t the Trump admin suspend enforcement of foreign anti-bribery laws? Microsoft just has to write a check to the right person to kill this.

The problem is education. People know how to use Windows/Microsoft products, and are too lazy to learn anything else. Saying “that other thing sucks” is easier than admitting “Idk how to use that other thing, and I’m too lazy to learn”, especially in a corporate environment where you can’t climb ladders by acknowledging your own shortcomings.

Get LibreOffice/Nextcloud/etc into schools, and the problem will be solved in a single generation.

This is why grammar is important, and “grammar nazis” are the only good kind of nazis.

Don’t use drugs to solve a problem like this. You’ll just build a tolerance and solve nothing.

Look into strength training as others suggested. Start with bodyweight exercises before moving on to weights. It’ll take a while though as you’ll need to experiment to find what works, and ofc exercise isn’t an overnight thing.

Maybe also consult a physical therapist.

And if all of that is too much, running isn’t the only effective cardio exercise. Cycling, swimming and less obvious/weird ones like slideboard mountain climbers, which should all be easier on the knees

I used Java years ago for Android dev, but stopped when I stopped doing that. Every once in a while I’ll get the itch to work on a new project, and always wonder if Java would be a good idea.

My hesitance is that I don’t trust Oracle (and don’t know to what extent they’re involved nowadays), I’m not familiar enough with the ecosystem to know what is legacy crap to avoid, and I think it’s generally seen as an uncool language, and I’m way too cool to be taking such risks.

I used to be a programmer and now I fix cars professionally

How does that happen, if you don’t mind me asking?

Coca Cola™ and Micro Plastics™ are a match made in heaven.

I live in a very warm and wet climate, and have never had this issue.

Clean your house bro

OP is 37 degrees away from peak masculinity. We need more people to do this to determine the correct amount of ridicule they deserve.

Per internet rules, capitalization can only be used for emphasis LIKE THIS. Doing it any other way is just bad grammar and, as a result, confusing.

GrayJay most of time asks for login because Google indicates it is a bot

Whenever it does that, I just open the Google login page and start clicking links (like the privacy policy, FAQ, reset password, etc) to “prove” that I’m human. That usually works at least for one video, if not more.

Yeah personally I much prefer Freetube’s UI over Grayjay (on desktop at least). For example, the subscription feed has an annoyingly huge list of subscribed channels that takes up like 25% of the screen real-estate, and you can’t hide it. It’s also pointless because there’s another list of your subscriptions on the left side of the screen. It also can’t be launched automatically when opening a YT link with the LibRedirect firefox extension, whereas Freetube can.

But besides design issues like that, Grayjay is much more reliable than Freetube when it comes to bypassing Youtube’s bot protections.

Wow, I thought that was just a weird bug with my system config. It actually started working a couple of weeks ago, but for the longest time I could only launch it by double-clicking it through dolphin lol

I’ll admit I only have a shallow familiarity with VLC, but I’d be surprised if it was capable of doing these things:

• Subscribe to Youtube channels (plus a bunch of other platforms)
• Get ‘related’ videos
• Browse and search individual channels
