So really The Matrix should have taken place in a two dimensional world.

Alternatively, I would also accept renaming the trilogy to The Array, The Matrix, and The Tensor.

Be the circular Venn diagram of malicious compliance and weaponized incompetence. Be the change you want to see.

At this point I’d nearly appreciate the removal of old.reddit or RES. My desktop browsing experience hasn’t changed in roughly a decade and a half and that’s a shitload of inertia. A few trims of my subscribed list has limited my exposure to the worst of the slop and botting.

Mobile is absolutely a different situation for both Reddit and Lemmy alike. I found Jerboa shortly after the API disaster and have stuck with it since, but I probably need to look into tweaks for desktop/browser Lemmy. RES and old.reddit are a killer combo but fuck their ‘official’ app and the ‘new’ interface.

Regardless, I no longer participate on Reddit and highly prefer interacting here; more interesting and informative conversations by far.

Keyboard and mouse input for the phone is a gamechanger for me. Having a manipulatable window that I can drag and drop files to is super nice as well.

Also since Slay the Spire doesn’t have cross-saving and all my progress is on my phone I can play it without staring at my phone.

I agree with you in spirit but would also like to shill for scrcpy in general if you aren’t already using it. Mirroring phone screen to my laptop is fucking amazing.

Honestly I even get rid of the taskbar too. I’ll float the system tray at approximately the same place but either let it hide behind everything or fill the space above it with a specific window (mirrored phone screen) with fixed size. Now that I’m typing it out though, I’m going to investigate auto-hiding it until a keybind reveals it in front of all windows.

I switch programs exclusively with alt+tab regardless and KDE’s launcher fulfills the super-menu functionality. I want a fresh session login to open to just my wallpaper. No icons, no task bar, no tray, nothing. An anti-rizz if you will.

I like the aesthetic and see it as a (tongue-in-cheek) method of security by obfuscation. I pair that with completely blank keycaps on my keyboard and suddenly 99% of the population doesn’t know how to interact with my machine.

Trying to find the right spin*

So like StumbleUpon but vendor-locked to already popular services. Any possibility it could get a Fediverse edition? That sounds actually useful instead of supporting continued useage of platforms with boardroom controlled content-selection algorithms.

Hell yeah, sounds like a plan. Have you run into any compatibility issues? I’ve read that bank apps can have issues and my CU is unlikely to work. I tried setting their website up as a PWA but ran into VPN-related issues. Will do research myself but if you/another commenter has insight I’d appreciate it!

Where did you order your battery, and how did you replace it? My mom’s 7a is having battery issues and this may be a good path for her.

That sounds pretty excellent! I think my hesitation stems from ensuring I back up the correct data currently on my phone as well as post-install setup. Can you elaborate on those processes?

I’ve been sitting on the Pixel update bringing AI to my 7 Pro for 70+ days at this point. Been meaning to switch to Graphene, might be about that time.

Seriously, all these comments about fucked-up and predatory content…has anyone considered quitting Facebook? Or just algorithmically-served content altogether? Am I crazy for preferring to build and do my best to expand my own silo rather than having billionaire-owned corporations do it for me?

I’m interested in the long-form articles but have never used RSS, is there a good reference site for learning about it you could recommend?

Also, good luck sourcing salt water in Illinois.

I’d imagine you can do everything on the website, which can likely be made into an ‘app’ on Firefox via the “Add to Home screen” option.

Forgiven and forgotten. Want a beer or other culturally appropriate cold, refreshing beverage?

Lucifer is literally the angel of free thought. Satanism promotes critical thinking and the right to question authority. Wikipedia is one of the few remaining repositories of free knowledge and polluting it with LLM summaries is exactly the inscrutable, uncritiqueable bullshit that led to the Abrahamic god casting Lucifer out.

I realize your reply is facetious, but there’s a reason we’re dealing with christofascists and not satanic fascists. Don’t do my boy dirty like that.
