Wow, I had forgotten doing this. Amazing. I remember seeing m.2 drives probably 5 years after they came out and going wtf is this thing. I’ll be dead soon jim

Have you noticed more and more people “blank behind the eyes?” I have. Like a real life ai model.

I mean if I lived in China I’d give up too, or worse. Seems very sad to be there

It’s amazing how even a 3 day weekend makes me more creative and energetic, and start thinking of my community and volunteering, then work comes back and i only look forward to the 5 hours before sleep again.

Every day of my life trying to explain to friends they need to quit using spoon fed software. Sigh.

Same people who think rage went “woke”. Absolute idiots. Dangerous idiots.

I’ll never understand how the FUCK someone like this is in “charge” of the most powerful country .(yes I know, it’s actually fElon that is in charge and all the drumbf yes men, trump sits on the shitter and tweets)

Thats what I’ve been doing…I say yes do it! We need more humanity nowadays too, when everything’s bots.

Seconded Kiwix! Or, start learning some programming- I listen to Python programming videos while I’m doing boring stuff to absorb information…and it’s relaxing ha

This was always the goal. Serfdom in a different package.

I AM STILL PISSED ABOUT THIS FORCED UPDATE. the second a linux phone is usable daily I will buy one. FUCK SAMSUNG

We have off grid days on the weekend. I love it. I’d do it more if work didn’t require it or I didn’t have people who call me for help with things.

I actually enjoy talking with others on here. My worldview has expanded because of it.

It drives me insane how people idolize these criminals. They will dismiss anything criticizing billionaires as “commie liberal bullshit” and go back to their charlie kirk. The US is and has been completely brainwashed. I can’t tell ypu the weird looks I get when I come right out and say “the billionaires are the problem. Stop using Twitter and amazon”. They act like that is total insanity.

A 1st ot 2nd gen tacoma would be awesome for this but WATCH FOR FRAME RUST. some of them have major issues here.

German cars can either go 300k miles and be great, or 25k miles and take a crap because their plastic water pump failed (bmw). I’d say they’re very reliable when all preventative maintenance is done. But then so is any car, and most people don’t do preventative maintenance because we are humans.

Keep an eye out for shady things sellers do too, like starting the car before you get there (why wouldn’t they show you a cold start?). Listen very hard for any sounds and ask the owner if they have had it looked at or even noticed it. Ears are a big advantage in car buying. Make sure you don’t notice any shakes or rumbles while driving or turning sharp (bearings=expensive fixes). I won’t recommend brands as other already have, and I’m too into weird cars to offer a normal opinion.

They don’t realize it’s the big shiny companies that are actually scamming them and stealing their data.

I was never put off by it, but I tend to like less shiny things.

How can you convince anyone to get off these ? Everyone I’ve showed lemmy to is terrified it’s a virus, and what chat platforms are there besides messenger that we can convince anyone to go to? Maybe I need smarter friends, lol.
