I’m streaming a video on YouTube while playing an online multiplayer game, so effectively I’m spending 120 min online every hour.

Artificial light. No parallax. Super bright bulb throwing light across the room unless you get a short throw projector, and this is going to get hot and noisy with the fan in an enclosed room for extended periods.

Your TV solution sounds better.

I didn’t know this till I heard a podcast series about this, but the global rulemakes for porn are Visa and Mastercard. They decide what “goes too far” and remove a site from their service if they don’t like it, effectively cutting off all revenue streams and killing the site. They did this with porn sites and threatened OnlyFans. There are a bunch of rules they’ve written for the industry (e.g. fingering an orofice with4 fingers was acceptable, but when the thumb goes in then it becomes “fisting” and this used to be unacceptable), but many rules are unwritten and have to be guessed.

I think this is the podcast series for anyone interested (although I heard this a long time ago and I’m not sure if it was a different series and I’m not going to listen again to confirm).

“Capitalism in the modern sense”

You mean the wealth inequality, gig economy, being paid below a fair living wage, and unaffordable rent/bills keeping people in jobs they hate and aren’t fit for?

Sounds more like slavery now than what the ancient Egyptians had. Sign me up to build the next pyramid.

Whips. Lots of whips and middle managers.

It’s meant to have facial recognition, etc with a locally run AI

I’m currently in the process of learning to set up Immich on a home server. That will take care of automatic backup and indexing and searching. My family won’t engage to use this though, so they’re still going to send me Google photos links for sharing.

For touchups, I do that on device with an image editing app it needed. Although I never need to edit really.

People don’t know. Researching good image backup/sharing options is beyond most normies. Privacy invasion isn’t even a known problem for them to care about.

My parents certainly won’t be able to comprehend this. My brothers are tech savvy, and it’s taken years for them to come onboard with self hosting since I’ve started advocating it (one still can’t because his wife finds it difficult to move away from Google photos).

Don’t Talk To Me Or My Sun Ever Again

I look forward to companies dumping a bunch of cheap and powerful mini-PCs on the market. I want to play around with a home server.

No one calms down by being told to calm down.

No one gets a better attitude by being told to have a better attitude.

I don’t think it should count if the sentence conveys the same meaning if the fuck word is removed. That eliminates half this list.

And OP hasn’t included phrases that should have obviously been on the list, e.g. “that’s fucked up”

Keep browsing eBay and HotUKDeals. You can easily find something really good for <£200.

This 11th Gen Intel Dell laptop was going to £150 this morning and I was on the verge of ordering it and adding more RAM.

This sub is obsessed with Thinkpads, but when you’re looking for a secondhand bargain then you pick up what comes opportunistically. The market is flooded with Dells because businesses change machines long before they go out of date and generally keep them in very very good condition.

Here’s what’s even weirder: imagine what you’re saying, but for sex instead.

Hollow Knight soundtrack done on piano is basically one epic chill track after another. Some are fast paced and more energetic though.

FTL sound track is also chill and amazing.

Same for the Ori soundtrack.

Honourable mentions: Axiom Verge and Sim City 3000

But first… 5 different standards of normal USB-C and if you use the wrong type then it will damage your battery. Fuck you Nintendo.

“One of us, one of us…”

I get this a lot from babies. It’s baldness. Babies love baldness.

Do not use the flame from this to make the temp of the sun exceed 50°

I don’t want my tax money saving people from destitution. I want that guy to do it so I can read about it on social media.
