“The Summer You Were There” literally made me sob for about an hour afterwards. Its not a long girls love manga (about 32 chapters) but imo it’s in my favorites.

I downloaded Deepseek to run locally a few days ago for shits and giggles, it didn’t do well at all for simple dates. Like as a test I asked it for when Mao passed away (I had issues when asked when he died) it gave me a who different year, month, and day. Even when I tried correcting it, it refused to correct.

Edit: I normally don’t ever touch AI, I find them as mostly useless techbro junk, but with the bill about Deepseek I figured I’d give it a spin. I very well could be asking in the wrong way.

I struggle to find Tsingtao anywhere locally outside of aaian restaurant. It’s tied for my favorite beer with Singha which I also struggle to find…

Freya-JS can be fed Spotify or Apple Music albums/songs/playlists and will grab the music from Youtube Music and automatically handle the tags and metadata. Additionally a soulseek client like Nicotine+ is good for more popular songs.

2… Been 2 for a few months now. The shit don’t stop.

The finish on these cybertrucks are so bad. Looks worse than the paint on a 20yo Civic that spent it’s life in Arizona…

I swear, I don’t know if it’s a Catholic/Lent thing or what but I’ve been dragged to Italian-American restaurants and 80% of the “Vegetarian” section has anchovies. Like… No matter how much mental gymnastics, fish is still a meat. Still an animal.

F-Droid or Obtainium for applications. Decouple and log out from the Play Store, if you need a proprietary app there’s proxying through the Aurora Store.

For PS2 emulation, theres the NetherSX2/GrindrSX2 community that picked up where the AetherSX2 left off. For streaming it’ll depend on what service you’re using. F-Droid has alot of Youtube Frontends.

Same, and besides the crap that Windows comes with (that thankfully my work’s group policies disable most of it) they took away my top taskbar. A feature in Windows for as long as I can remember and IMO looked clean and was more functional was taken away by Win 11.

Thankfully at home I can take solace in my Linux and MacOS enviroments. Wish my job would let me just run Debian or Fedora/Red Hat for work. Everything is a web application anyways.

God I hate gambling and casinos with a passion. And since I live and work near casinos I have to deal with coworkers either bragging about how much they pissed away that weekend or getting invited to go piss away money at these predatory businesses.

My partner and I play locally with an old PC as a server (we got tired of constantly needing invite codes). Its not bad and they’re still adding new content and pals. We stopped for a bit around release because of the rubberbanding though.

To be honest, if I didn’t live in Amerikkka and instead somewhere where Ladas were common I’d do it. Aesthetic, simple, cheap, and no built in capitalist spyware.

“Who pays for the guns? The ammo? Pennington says guardians can use the stipend to buy firearms.”

What are they going to be using? Hi Point or some cheap .22 hunting rifle? $500 ain’t alot for firearms. I mean, it’s an horrible idea that either places dangerous armed facists in schools or provides more cranking pressure on schools.

In some places in America they still count if they were ‘unexcused’ (ie no doctors note, even if your kid was sick) and parents taken to truancy court. I remember some friends growing up that had to fight that because they didn’t have the money to see the doctor over every sick day.

CW for work, medication, and mental health.

Men loving men.

Kind of forgot TekSyndicate still existed after Qain and Wendell left years ago.

But yeah, Windows seems to always get worse. Even 11 has gotten worse as it’s been out. I hate dealing with it when I help my partner out with her pc.

I used them during covid, not specifically to avoid the virus (because I know it just passes the risk along), but because I was in the beginning of my transition in an unfriendly state so did not want to undo all of my work to boymode and at the time I was more financially stable so I could afford it. Always tipped well too.

For the average situation it doesn’t make alot of sense.

Also Capitalism trying to shoehorn AI into every product possible. Why does my work software need an AI built in? It won’t help us employees or the company, what would help is to fuck off with the ‘do more with less’ and pay us more. But no, someone somewhere got paid to add a worthless implementation of AI to our software.

Gin, if you can’t handle straight gin then a gin and tonic. I feel like it’d be the right headspace drink for flying. Clean and proper.
