I upgraded to the OLED model when it came out. The screen looks much nicer, has a faster refresh and longer battery life. I definitely recommend it over the original, but it is a steep price when you already have one that works fine.

256gb of storage just so I can find the exact degenerate porn video I’m looking to watch again from 5-6 months ago?

There’s an road with an intersection exactly like this that I commute to work on everyday, with the only difference being that it has a 35 mph limit.

Upon reflection though, when I have been in the leftmost car’s position, I have never ever turned left onto the three lane road. Still though, this road is not usually busy and you can easily see over the road division.

I have seen people floor it just barely in front of me when they turn to the left though, but that’s just because they’re impatient, not because someone waved them on.

How can they just kick her out? Don’t they have to go through an eviction process? Does she not have squatters’ rights?

Does this mean that he’s been secretly responsible for some/all school shootings, is addicted to doing them, and is asking for an intervention to help him stop and get into rehab?

“2 real friends”?

I’ve been at 0 real friends for so long that even the thought of socializing with anyone stresses me out.

I’m a hobbyist digital artist and have had to do a handful of graphic design projects for my mundane, non-art-in-anyway job.

As our computers are locked down Windows PCs, I’ve had to manage with MSPaint. It’s always taken me double the time as on any other program or app, and I have been wishing it had layers for years.

Since this update is Windows 11 only, I’ll have to for my company to upgrade, so I can look forward to layers in maybe 5 years.

I spent 99% of my time on Reddit through Sync. When they decided to restrict API use, which killed third-party apps, I decided I was done. If the Sync dev didn’t switch over to making a Lemmy app, I probably never would have heard about it. I’ve only gone to Reddit a handful of times since, and that’s only because I was searching for something and a Google search took me to a Reddit thread.

If you’re a digital artist or someone looking to get into digital art, an IPad Air with an Apple Pencil is the cheapest entry-point that doesn’t require a computer and doesn’t absolutely suck.

You can write off a private jet, which is terrible for carbon emissions, but you can’t write off an electric car?

Regardless of political leanings, if one of the steps in your master plan is “receive pardon from glorious leader once they return to power”, you might want to rethink what you’re about to do.

The problem is, is that if you engage with anyone outside of the internet, they have no fucking idea what you’re talking about when you call it “X”.

It’s so fucking stupid of a name. Even worse than Facebook changing to Meta.

You can ask people to call it “X” all day, every day, but you can’t just change the name of your brand/product to a single letter, that people use every day for other things, and expect it to work out for you.

I feel the problem is less the age of the senator (or representative) and more so how they have no term limits. Why do we have people serving 30, 40, 50+ years?

The longer they serve, the more likely they are to take bribes lobbyist money and donations from people that don’t represent their constituents.

I can understand the argument of wanting knowledgeable and experienced congressmen, but there has to be a limit when their net worth is way more than their salaries.

There’s nothing wrong with someone running for office without being a tenured politician. A primary or general election will weed out any woefully unqualified candidates, and if that doesn’t, anyone truly terrible will be replaced in the next election cycle.

Senator Patty Murray of Washington famously campaigned as “a mom in tennis shoes” and had only been a teacher beforehand.

Nothing will ever scare me more than Amnesia: The Dark Decent.

There was something about that game. Every time things started getting scary or the tension starting building up to a boiling point.

Blue Screen of Death!

It happened everytime I played that game and only that game. Nothing else has gotten me closer to shitting my pants in fear like Amnesia.
