We’re all here think of good things; you’re plotting nefarious powers.

Phone, flashlight, gaming system, headphones, laptop, jump start cars, watch (though the Apple Watch wouldn’t be compatible with my super power…same as in real life with all normal chargers).

The real question is if it would transfer energy magically, or would I experience a calorie deficit. That could go both ways in my book.

Is breathing underwater too exceptional? I’d settle for charging batteries by holding them, or the ability to revive/kill plants that I touch (my choice, not some random thing or King Midas curse)

Wait, Apple is getting a Bixby button?

If this were so important it could be solved several ways, the easiest with registration recesses or, better yet, a mountable interface. I’m not buying the line that Apple is beholden to 3rd party bolt-on lenses as the core reason for not producing a flat-backed phone.

One solution to this would be to set the .mil mail servers to either correct or bounce all .ml addressed mail, no? It makes emailing legitimate .ml addresses more difficult, but requiring a second, dedicated gateway or mailserver for .ml would be at most inconvenient.

They’re scared shitless of wireless / 5G/LTE providers offering service. I’ve never seen so many scare ads about how three old ladies watching YouTube will yank your home wifi or that you’ll have to cut down every tree so you can see the cell tower to get service.

The only places they were installing faster service is where they have competition from fiber and with viable wireless competitors they’re running scared.

I’m still figuring out the controls for Lemmy. How do you delete someone else’s post?

By logical extension, community members could take it in turns to act as a sort of top mod for the week. But all the decisions of that mod would have to be approved in a special biweekly poll post. It could be By a simple majority in the case of purely community-based affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more important changes.

These people have real and legitimate grievances. Their government has failed them.

Yes, they do and yes, they think it has. The problem is that they have been in the business of voting for people who campaign on the "Government is bad, vote for us and we'll show you just how bad we can make it." It's their own fucking fault that the government doesn't work as well as it could. And despite their best efforts we still manage to have rural internet to connect them to the world in places where they would never be able to afford it, interstate roads to send their crops to market and bring every modern amenity to their local stores, a national air transport system to bring them a new liver or kidney after they've destroyed theirs, working ports to bring their tractors and 4 wheelers and snowmobiles, billions upon billions of dollars in (otherwise unaffordable) crop insurance and price supports for their products, and an army of adjusters with stacks of cash to rebuild after every tornado, flood, heatwave, snowstorm, hurricane, and forest fire.

The government has not failed them, they have failed their government. Their hand is out whenever they have a bad day, but their memory is wiped out every time they see that all those benefits might cost money.

If you went high tier, did you leave enough coin for a Quest 2 headset? With a cheap, dedicated router you can stream wirelessly and the experience is mind blowing. Games like HL:Alyx are ridiculous; I just wish there were more native ports to VR.
