Very cool! I’m thinking of going for ubuntu touch, seeing as Android has proven that it’s no longer worth the time investment. Also, Fairphone 5 is my next phone if the current one dies, so it works out.

Could you share what do you really like about it? And what is your biggest gripe or letdown with it? Thanks!

the old fashioned way.

A whole swath of trained toads using a special made tube network?

Probably because we never got HUNTER BIDENS LAPTOP. SAD.

For audio, take to a local thrift store or Facebook marketplace or whatever platform is the most used locally and mix and match your own receiver + speaker set. A decent receiver can be found around €50, speakers can be even cheaper. Most modern speakers of some size are decent enough, bought some second hand Jamo tower speakers for 50 for the set(2) as well. Smaller bookcase speakers with minimum 4 inch (if you don’t go for a seperate subwoofer) speakers can be found for €20. You need some oomph in the lower end to get some extra cinema points. Stereo sets are fine, 5.1 is fun but I’d rather have amazing stereo then ok 5.1 , you know?

For beamers, I’d look for a secondhand beamer that was used in business setting.

A clean white wall is cheap en convenient beaming surface, but a good screen will help increase brightness which can often be the most tricky part about beaming at home. But harder to do secondhand.

Sidenote, I almost never save the boxes of stuff I buy, but the tv box gets special treatment in the attic, because in the box it’s very transportable, but without it, I agree, it’s a big hassle.

GL!

Came here to check if someone recommended used, that’s what I would do.

You could do what now? That sounds fantastic.

Truly terrific!

In his yurt he prefers Bert

Hahaha, yeah you’re right, this sucked, but not worse then rawdogging an unlit lcd in on the go conditions. ColorLCD is a lot worse still without backlight. But not playing as alternative… phew… yeah…

The problem with letting law enforcement hide their identities are diverse, destabilizing and dumb. Accountability for enforcement is already very improbable in the US, now you wouldn’t even know if your abducter is on ICE payroll because how would you?

There are already laws about doxing, why do these ICE need/deserve more protection? If I were them, i’d quit and not be an active part of turbo-eroding (destroying?) democracy.

If you haven’t seen one of these, do yourself a favor and watch one. This is a big loss for everyone, not just Americans.

Noooooo, they matter too much!! Their reconstructions are extremely well put together and invaluable to safe industrial production. What a disgrace.

It’s good enough, and that’s really great!

My dad tried this same trick and wanted to influence my relationship with my mom (who had an affair). I told him I understand his feelings but that he could never talk that way to me again or I would cut him out of my life immediately. This is my mom you’re talking about.

I can’t have other folks then myself decide who I interact with. It’s not like I’m taking sides or feel great about her actions, but I wasn’t gonna stop seeing her because it hurts someone else.

I never was that direct with my parents before, but it felt like if that line would be crossed it would all come crumbling down.

All three of my pixels had it. Maybe it’s a region thing?

Thanks but no thanks!

That’s gonna be a long and frustrating road of bans before they nip it in the bud. I don’t know if there are other games popular over there, but gamblers are gonna gamble, they’ll make up a game especially for it if they have to!

The dumb cycle rolls on. Let’s hope humanity can break it some day.

They might have a variant that’s supposed to be hard but basically all of local Haribo bears or cola gummies or frogs are super soft and chewy.

The White House also brought Morin’s mother to Leavitt’s press conference today, while launching into a tirade against Abrego Garcia

Wow, that mother must be a real proud Mamma Hen, using her daughters death to politically justify abducting a human without convictions who was in Maryland legally. What a fucking disgrace.
