Holy cow "room temperature IQ" no need for the death match after an insult like that

I've taken to the term 3rd-wave Trek for the 2010s-present shows to identify the stylistic differences in production compared to shows made in the 80s-90s or 60s.

Each era is molded by the media conventions of it's time. And there I go reinventing Marshal McLuhan again: "the medium is the message"

I had a red Veloster I called Swordfish And my friends called my blue Civic "Bad Wolf"

We try to, but when you're living paycheck to paycheck, trying to find solutions to the moving target that is your wife's fibromyalgia, have a growing, energetic baby boy, sometimes you can't afford paying twice as much or more for the product that isn't sold on amazon, assuming such an alternative exists.

Unfortunately, lots of people can't afford to shop with a conscience

Living without amazon prime is easy; living without amazon at all is more challenging with various manufacturers using amazon as their only storefront

I'm new to Linux; what's with the ThinkPad hype?

I'll second Firefox as I quite like the web app version of Lemmy. You can even add it to your home screen as a PWA which will remove the address bar and any sign that you're just in a web browser

That said, I'm using the Sync app cause after updating my phone (I'm using Graphene), the PWA wouldn't keep me signed in for some reason. It's perfectly usable without a subscription; every few posts there's an ad, but they aren't super annoying and they all look like adds and not normal posts which goes a long way. You can make a one-time purchase to remove ads instead of a monthly subscription which is also nice.

Good! Its not like they do anything but spout corporate jargon word salad and pick which 20% of the company to lay off based on extremely rudimentary data

After 10 years of iOS, I made the switch to Graphene last month, and I'm loving it. Android Auto was functional for me, but none of the music apps were nice to use, so I've left my old iPhone in airplane mode in the car to keep playing my downloaded music.

I've not tried any other options since GrapheneOS is the only degoogled option I'm comfortable with

If you're okay with earbuds, Pine64's PineBuds purportedly have ANC

GrapheneOS is the only reason I'm willing to come within 30 miles of using Android
