I had a flip phone because I was a latchkey kid who walked to school. My parents wanted to be able to contact me and vice versa.

Easy:

Between ages 13 and 18 if I received a phone call it was because I was in trouble, so now when I get one there is a pang of guilt and panic over whatever it is I could have possibly done

I use an HTPC that happens to be powerful enough to be a gaming PC, I also have a media server facing the internet for use on the go.

Most of my pc use nowadays is for media consumption and analog to digital conversion for backups (VHS to HDD and eventually M-Disc for long term storage).

I do a bit of emulation, most of that is done with an ARM handheld PC but it’s an SP form factor and I don’t really think it counts. I do a bit of PS2 emulation as well on my HTPC but mostly just to verify good rips of my physical games which I have backed up.

If you have a GPU with ray tracing hardware and at least 12gVRAM you should be able to run it albeit slowly at home

Not sure how I’d go about checking that, it isn’t listed as an anti-feature, but neither is anything else since there’s no description on f-droid

The official pixelfed app has a repo on f-droid, you can install it via the QR code in the download link on the pixelfed website

I thought the same thing til just earlier today!

What you wanna do is install docker engine, which installs docker locally on your server instead if someone else’s cloud. Following this you can spin it up using a self hosted container.

If you want it to be accessible outside your home network you can set up pivpn and wireguard to access it from anywhere, just VPN into the home network and connect to immich through there.

I rolled out immich in about an hour today using this, a few days ago I did jellyfin as well. Thinking about doing xmpp and email next

Pixelfed.art is all artists posting their work!

Look m8 IDC how authoritarian they are, if China wants to see how much brain rot I can get through in an 8 hour period that’s fine, it’s not like they’re an authority over me

In the US, especially for some marginalized groups (trans folks mostly right now) there’s an active push by the govt to make people hate us, I don’t want THAT authority to have any of my fucking data, especially when analysis of my scrolling habits could tell them when I’m most likely home or whatnot.

Given the choice between an authoritarian and an authoritarian, I’ll take the authoritarian who can’t exert power over me thanks

I’m a daily, many times per day, user of cannabis to manage anxiety and RA pain and I agree 100%

Cannabis has been by far the cheapest solution for my pain (it being recreationally legal in my state makes it cheaper than the traditional western medicine route). Cannabis has also been the source of much of my ails, often slashing my motivation or affording me a boredom enhancer just good enough to keep me from my hobbies. Cannabis is rough on the throat and lungs, and it’s smoke (due to the nature of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons) likely contains a large number of carcinogens and possible mutagens. Cannabis not having potential for addiction does not free it from having habit forming potential, especially in populations prone to substance abuse (such as neurodivergent folks), and as such it should be treated like, and respected as any other kind altering substance.

The legality of a product does not inform it’s health risk nor benefits, and a product being “better” than another product does not inform it’s being “good”

This is photoshopped, which isn’t inherently bad for a comedy group but definitely weird for having been supposedly posted to a cyber truck Facebook group.

Idk, there’s some odd alarms going off in my head from this image.

Your third paragraph is describing executive dysfunction, a symptom of ADHD.

T-girl here for a perspective from a girl with that equipment. Yes I also wiggle the fuel hose.

I once had a manager tell me “If you’re late, but you haven’t had breakfast, be later”

If you work a taxing job (mentally or physically) you gotta have a calorie store

Open it up and replace it with a resistor, can’t blink if it doesn’t exist.

If the instructions give me any nonsense I just do the math and use the power level function.

I bought a microwave to make my life easier, I’ll be damned if I’m gonna flip food over because someone doesn’t understand how to write instructions involving the power level button

Stupid-ass hippolephant doesn’t even know it’s supposed to sink in the water

Attempting to evade deactivation sounds a whole lot like self preservation to me, implying self awareness.

Success in making a self aware digital lifeform does not equate success in making said self aware digital lifeform smart
