Water is S, Milk is A, and Beer might be D tier. It’s bad for you like the drinks in F tier, but you at least catch a buzz.

I’m on a similar system for work, it’s not nearly as bad. Maybe thirty seconds or so?
That’s fair — I view the two as severity.
I’m youngish, and as I started my thirties I started to notice the most common thing with the young is they wield political theory a bit too homogeneously.
Like, when I realized I was a lefty in my twenties every issue started to be framed in how capitalism was the noxious root of the problem, but I lacked the real world context where pointing that out wasn’t helpful.
Now if someone came along with information that confirmed my perspective I used less scrutiny— because they were “like me” and “we’re one of the ‘good’ guys so they wouldn’t lie to me.” Now, I’m unsure if aging is going to make this better or worse tho 😅 I’m just more aware of it now.
I keep an Android and iPhone. Apps tend to be more polished/available on iOS versus Android. However, if you don’t plan on installing your own OS, use the UI customization (launchers and what not), or install apps via .apks — which isn a large percentage of the population — an iPhone is fine. Heck, you may save money if you either sell it second hand to finance your new phone, or use it until it doesn’t receive support. Heck, I’m in the camp of spending $799 on a handset in 2019 that will get major updates through 2026 and security updates through 2028/9 (should Apple follow their support pattern, of course).
Don’t get me wrong, I like my Pixel with GrapheneOS with its perfectly tuned UI, but if I’m flying out for a weekend trip — I’m bringing my iPhone along for reliability, and integration with the world around me.
Aren’t conspiracies spread on social media proliferating through the older demographic? I don’t think it’s unique to age.
Yeah, once my Zephyrus dies I’ve decided that it’s my last “new” laptop that I buy. Sure, it can play games, but my usage has been drifting more “casual” over the years. For the top end of my computing: I really don’t need much to compile stuff and run chitubox.
How easy is it to get replacement parts for a ThinkPad?
What was weird was one of my friends who is "baffled by my choice of Linux" let me know about this subsystem and said "hey, look! There's no reason to use Linux again!"
“… caught slowing down old models…”
Are you referring to the iPhone 7 thing?
Florida. You’ll be out at least a week or so every year. The summer sometimes can cause outages.
They went so needlessly deep on the world building while being completely disconnected to the IP.
Which is making me sad. 3d printing is so open atm, but I wouldn’t be surprised if enshittification will take place in this space in my lifetime.
Fr, do people get their Reddit shit posting monetized?
