I’m pretty sure both Nebula and Floatplane look for their talents themselves, you can’t just decide to be there. And they look for something more sophisticated than a guy yelling n-word at children in a currently popular videogame.

I’m convinced that people who are fascinated by llm chatbots are those who usually aren’t better than a chatbot at whatever they do. That is to say, they can’t do shit.

Nobody’s saying that our royals are classy, except themselves, their paid weirdos, and, weirdly enough, americans.

I remember all those plastic clicking solutions that held batteries back then. I remember them because they always broke, always. I always have a small multitool with a screwdriver on me, and I can’t recommend it enough

At this point, why even have a phone? Even cheap stationary player will give much better sound quality

When everyone was talking about them paying their workers fairly, I did not expect it being 60 bucks a year. It sounds like an insult to be honest.

Fair use or something

I’m actually happy the battery is screwed in. Most people wouldn’t be swapping the battery in a daily basis (and those who do have a screwdriver anyway so it’s not really a problem), but the benefits are more secure connection and less fiddly locking mechanisms that just prone to fail.

My wife’s wired headphones are also last forever. She never listens to them while moving, only when she sits at the table and her phone lays firmly on it. If she needs to move, even in a different room she takes her headphones off, and only put them back when she is sitting firmly and the phone is stationary.

Ah, here’s your problem, you’re listening to j-pop.
Sorry, that was a bit of a mean joke, but I couldn’t resist.

I can’t wait for fucking 3.5 mm connector to finally leave our collective consciousness. It has it’s uses in analogue world, and it should stay there, or maybe go away even there and be replaced with 5mm entirely like god intended.
I hate this never working dirt accumulator and all the cable hustle associated with it.

In this case you can invest 7 bucks in a good splitter.

Not in my experience. I still use BT headphones I bought in 2019, but all the wired headphones I had before that were dying every year with the same cable problems. The only long-lived wired headphones I had were expensive Sennheisers with thick coiled cable, but those were always destroying jack port on my phone with their fat lever of a connector.
Cables just shit for mobile application, they’re always in the way, and always getting yanked around.

The audiophile community is too busy masturbating to their golden powercables

To the phone? Really, really doubt it.

Both in a vacuum and in an atmosphere, if you call something fascism because of one bad law, you’re doing nothing but deminishing and watering down the term. It means something, you know.

Middle age progressives didn’t vote for Bernie twice. Is it because they’re actually small in numbers or is it because they are pissed but don’t channel this energy into anything? I let you to decide which is worse.

Give them

Again with this passive shit. Nobody is supposed to give you anything, it’s politics, people present their worldview and gather votes of those who agree. Regressive democrats vote, progressive don’t, that’s why you are “given” candidates you generally see. If you want to see better candidates, vote for better candidates.
It pisses me off for no end, you go to any lefty space, all that you see is perpetual “voting is pointless, don’t vote, I voted once 20 years ago and look what it brought us, you should firebomb wallmarts instead. By the way, why all the candidates that win are so bad, it’s like they don’t listen to us”.

You just described what coalition politics actually is. When your candidate can gather support, or when a group of people can gather together and push a candidate, that group of people can do political activism, and elect their candidate. Do it enough time, and you get yourself a political force that can then communicate with other political forces to achieve their goals. The way US democracy operates, there can be only two viable coalitions, but the rest remains.
Americans have this weird perverted view of the political process, they believe some kind of higher force should produce them a magical person that is favoured by all, and then they can benevolently think about maybe supporting them or not, and they got irrationally angry when political groups they aren’t parts of, don’t deliver them this magical person.
Unfortunately, politics doesn’t work like that.

Will it force the Democratic voters to finally show up to vote? That’s the main question.
