I love coconut so we may have different taste, but I think oat milk is the best plant based milk.

As someone who hates milk and loves coconut, I agree that they don’t taste similar.

I’m pretty pleasantly surprised at how well Arch and its derivatives are doing.

From a quick search it looks like India, Nigeria, Singapore, and the Philippines do as well.

Other countries may have pledges of some sort for special occasions or for new citizens. But having a flag in every classroom that children chant to each morning is not normal.

As an American I never really liked the holiday, (I agree patriotism sucks) but I wouldn’t say it’s that it really feels creepy other than the few people who really go over the top with it. Most people just use it as an excuse to barbeque and watch / light off fireworks (which I’m just personally not into)

Now for some real North Korea shit, look up videos of the “pledge of allegiance“ in schools. I was always the only one not doing it, but it wasn’t until I was an adult that I realized how fucked up it is. Creepy as hell.

Why do you ask?

“Can big tech fix–” “No.”

Millionaires aren’t rich, they’re “well off”. (Or maybe not even, it’s possible to have 1M+ in assets and be struggling financially)

Being rich is a completely different lifestyle. Like you never even think about money, and get people to do your grocery shopping and stuff. Megayachts and private jets, etc.

Yeah, 1080p is fine on a small laptop screen, or a small TV on the other side of the room, but it’s unusable for desktop applications. Even 1440 is noticeably low res. I disagree about phones, though. I think 1080p is overkill and 720p is fine.

It’s crazy that 6.3 inches is considered not ridiculously big for a phone

Thanks for the reply.

I’m definitely keeping Arch on my PC, I was just wondering what is the best way to use it for both desktop and couch gaming. I do have an old steam link I could potentially use, but I don’t know how that would really work. (I think I’d need to keep my PC running 24/7 for a seamless experience), but otherwise I was thinking I’d probably use the compute stick or Pi as the HTPC and stream games from the PC, but again that sounds a bit clunky to me, although I could at least watch stuff without the main PC on. Thoughts?

My other takeaways from your reply are that:

• It’s a good idea to separate out home assistant from everything else

• Network stuff doesn’t have to be separate

I’ll also research using cloud DNS instead.

*on the power button.

My s10e had this, and it’s the best IMO.

You can also swipe it to pull down the notification shade.

These AI voiceovers are getting to the point that it took a few mispronunciations for me to notice.

So it should be safe in airplane mode, no? If I can trust my device, that is.

What’s wrong with a grapheneOS device on airplane mode? Is firmware level tracking a confirmed thing?

I think it depends a lot on the style and size of pants, and it’s just a personal preference.

While I prefer smaller phones for how they feel in the hand, all of my pants could easily fit a phone 7" or larger. But if normal phones don’t fit in your pockets, then a folding phone makes sense.

Also personally I’m the sort of person who dislikes how bulky traditional wallets are, and I’m bothered by my earbuds case. But point taken that a folding phone still isn’t very thick generally.

Interesting, I always thought that was the pointless form factor. I guess I could see it being nice if you have really shallow pockets, although it seems like it would be uncomfortably thick compared to a normal phone when closed.

With the fold style, (especially trifold) It turns into a tablet you can carry in your pocket. Which would be worth it if it wasn’t fragile and twice the price of a phone + tablet.

I genuinely use between 100-200 most of the time.

Like, what are you doing that only requires 27?

i think it’s common with younger generations, especially when texting !!

I think HP and Kpop are both quite overrated.

Anime and Manga are just media, so there are good and bad series, like anything else. It’s not worth obsessing over, or writing it off. But there are definitely shows that are worthy of some amount of hype.

Gyms are a good place to have access to various machines and weights for strength training (which is super important!) It has advantages and disadvantages compared to something like calisthenics. Yoga is a great way of moving and stretching the body, which is big for flexibility and general mobility. Especially combined with some form of strength training, it will have a huge impact on how your body feels.

Fashion, makeup, and nail polish are all about self expression. Fast fashion is bad, but fashion can mean just putting together a good outfit. It’s worth it to put a bit of effort into what you wear, and making your clothes into something that reflects you. Makeup also has a positive and negative side. On one hand, a lot of people use it (often heavily) to cover up their percoeved flaws and ‘fix’ their appearance. I think that’s unhealthy and a bit sad. But makeup is also an an art form; it turns your face into a canvas. Think winged eyeliner, glitter, colored eyeshadow or lipstick, etc. This includes nail polish. It’s an expression of creativity, an you get to look nice at the end! Even if it’s something you aren’t personally interested in, (or if you are discouraged from self ornamentation due to gender expectations) It should be clear why people enjoy these things.
