About a gig of books, and one movie called “Lensman: Secret of the Lens”

Found the weeb

A phone I’m excited for is the Bigme Hibreak Pro. Its got an e-paper screen that refreshes at a tolerable speed, and you can install apps from the Google Play store which run just fine. Will it ever play video smoothly? Fuck no. Is it cool? Also no. Is it horrifically expensive? Surprisingly, also no.

Bigme has also made some exciting (but way too expensive) progress in the desktop computer world by making a 60hz eink monitor. It frankly is terrible at most things people do on their home computers, but it can keep up just fine with the boring work stuff like Vim and the MS Office Suite. Am I willing to pay almost $2k for a monitor for work? Absolutely not, but I’m glad it exists.

When I wanted to revisit Harry Potter via audiobook, I pirated the books, and I will do it again someday.

Look, your problem is all the competition. Lots of Linux users putting out Linux memes. So, to get a foothold you simply need to kill all the Linux users.

Zorin comes with the Nvidia drivers if you want them

If your Switch is the one in the picture, I dont think jailbreaking it is going to do much for you.

Oh no

Isn’t there a billionaire who was in the news during CoVid because he gave his employees a living wage during lockdown by not paying himself anything for that time? He’s still a billionaire, BTW, he owns assets that he can liquidate whenever he wants

I just realized that I’ve already blocked both of the mods at some point in the past. The community looks really dead without their posts.

Literally the only reason I use Zorin is because I am too computer illiterate to put the stuff i like about its desktop environment in a more lightweight distro or on Qubes

Like I’ve said elsewhere, I’ve had good results finding pirated media using the Brave search engine. The main downside is that it’s run by Brave, and they are a bunch of cryptobros

I’ve had an easy time finding pirated stuff using the Brave search engine. Main downside is that its run by Brave. Not the best of people imho.

Last month I was doing some normal computer maintenance, and when I had gotten everything set up I found the computer wouldnt turn on. Took me a full week to diagnose the problem: it wasn’t plugged into the wall.

Yes. But is it moral? Also yes. Will you get sued? Almost certainly not.

I think the core of the problem is that back in the bad old days, things needed to be tuned up a bit before they would work right and there was a marked lack of standardization. Now, not only do our devices work right out of the box, bit they also have little quality of life stuff as well. I haven’t bought a battery-powered device in years that wasn’t partially charged when I got it, and most devices come preinstalled with all the basic utility apps.

No

Never underestimate the ability of a small change to completely break a system

Where else would you post this?

Gonna save this for later
