so hype for C770 (or whatever the good C card will be).

for beibg terrible, texas no longer has the privledge of cell phones.

it has gotten so good that i only check if there are compatibility issues if there is 3rd(4th?) party anti-cheat involved.

its also true that predator (1987) predates alien (2122), so you would be right either way : D

i measured once, cut twice, and its still too short.

flatpak, boi

the sun finally set on the british empire for the first time in many, many years this year (2025 - it lost the chagis islands ~march). it takes a very, very long time 👍

i played a few of these bartops. they were intentionally very hard for short playtimes, and were a bit too expensive too play a lot. it kinda seemed like it was there to get money very few times out of very few people.

as a huge nerd who plays games at bars, the bartops were not good, heh. barcades and pinball halls are much more fun.

you mentioned CAD was a bit too much for what you are looking for; however, there is a simple code-only cad program that makes simple tasks like making a shape super easy: openscad

https://openscad.org/

example:

Circle(17);

makes a 17mm radius circle.

one of my forks has an absurd amount of hard water mineral build-up on it and i have no idea why…

now it sits in the drawer unloved and unused for eternity.

my work has an english only rule when talking about work. we hire from all over the world, so making sure there is a common language is nice when i have to message someone in another country.

non-work-related talk is whatever, though.

abortion. hopefully its not too late; get on that shit now

her parents are not part of this decision, she is. you pay for as much of it as you can.

running a jellyfin server on something like this may not be pleasant, so it depends on what you are trying to do with this machine.

for most things, yeah - it will be fine; however, if you are planning to do live transcoding, running an llm, or other compute-heavy tasks, the box will need to be upgraded.

i mainly bike and am in america (its shitty). i search on GM for a company, grab the address, plug it in to OSMand, and use the bike routing - its extremely good.

there are options in OSMand where you can “prefer biways” - use it… its great. every time there is a bad, unsafe, or non-existant crossing, you can tap-hold -> avoid road and it will only avoid that tiny block you selected. sooooooooo good.

im biking ~7mi one-way this evening (do it once weekly; its a bit longer than my usual rides of <3mi), but all of the roads i hate are already avoided, and i only have to take a little bit of unpaved rocky shit “sidewalk” path to get there (a super busy freeway overpass; im not riding in the street)

owning a hammer is not a crime, bashing in a car window with it is.

also, it is currently illegal for car owners to put custom firmware in their cars & there is no open standard to allow 3rd party software. all stolen cars should be refunded by the manufacturer for forcing us to use their shitty soft/firmware.

no hate! you actually found a use for them! :o

though nowadays i usually research heavily and fix hardware problems more often, i have reinstalled linux many times due to weird issues i did not understand many times. its okay, it happens to us all <3

i think im ~#6 :)

oof, no wifi is kind of a dealbreaker for me; i have a home server and really dont want to have to be VPN’d into my home all the time :(

looks like fairphone 6 doesnt have much support on postmarket yet, but i’ll keep an eye on it - ty <3

what phone and os do you have? im currently shopping and have always been on android; im looking for recommendations on both phones and os <3

i know it is still google, but i just started searching ebay for a used pixel 9 - looks like they are around $400-500 (pixel 10 came out last month). i figure getting graphene os on one of these may be an inexpensive path forward… still looking for good options, tho.

i’ll have to check out fairphone. i remember something about them not being available in the US, but that may be old news.
