Shout-out to all my nexrad tech homies out there 📡

I’ve been doing it for about two years now and I think it’s pretty incredible. Consistently having a third day off can do wonders; commute only 4 times a week, your third day off is a weekday so basically always have a great day to go shopping, appointments, etc while everyone else is at work. I don’t think I could ever go back to 5 8’s. The only thing better would be 4 8’s

“All trainees are reminded: drink 1/2 to 3/4 canteen per hour, not to exceed 12 canteens per day. You will drink 3 non-caffeinated, non carbonated beverages with each and every meal.”

Is what was recited daily when I was in basic training. And yeah, heat stroke is a big issue. I don’t think you can blame the instructors really; everyone knows someone that says water tastes bad or whatever. All the instructors know is that everyone better be drinking their water.

I’ve had the z fold 3, 4, 5 and pixel fold, right there with you. I mostly hear the complaints about people thinking folding phones are dumb from sites where people are more likely to have serious opinions on what phone you should buy, like here and reddit. To be honest everytime someone sees my phone for the first time they’re super interested in it and could see themselves buying one; the real issue is the price. As soon as I mention that it’s probably 3x the price of their current phone, that’s the end of that lol. Hopefully they can get the price down to regular slab phones. Once they do I think they’ll start to seriously compete because I think this form factor is incredible.

It was cool in 2010 when I was like 14 and had an iPod touch but didn’t have wireless Internet access at home because my parents didn’t understand the concept of a router and thought they would have to pay for it, plus christian concern over porn and corruption on the net. So I could go to like McDonalds or whatever, download all of these game review articles, web novels, and whatever else I was into at the time so that when I got back home I could still interact with the web.

Nowadays, yeah I don’t really get the point. Everyone’s permanently plugged in so a regular bookmark is fine. Also in case anyone was concerned, my buddy eventually gave me his old router and I secretly set up WiFi in my house so I was good for the rest of the time I lived at home 👍

People didn’t really like it when CD Projekt Red did that with Cyberpunk, and this is a pretty close mirror image of that…

I use it because I follow a lot of Japanese artists and mangakas. It’s nice because ya know Twitter is English so getting around is pretty easy. Stuff like pixiv seemed intimidating because it’s made for a Japanese audience, even if they have English stuff. Plus I just know how to use Twitter after making my account in 2009.

Wikipedia lists India at #2 in English speakers, behind the US. While a ton, I’m sure most of them would still be using their own Indian sites over a niche of a niche site like Lemmy.

Would it be because most EU countries are using other sites that are in their own language? Idk why I’d visit a predominantly English site if my English wasn’t super proficient. That would just leave the US, UK, and Aus mostly, and the US dwarfs those by quite a bit.

I force closed the app from settings and then that went away. I didn’t mess with anything else.

That’s just like your opinion man, I’m having a blast. The performance issues suck but I can live with it since it’s only in the city where I’m just talking to NPCs. Everything else is fun as hell

I saw dune 2 in 4dx and I’m going to have to disagree… It was mostly just being mildly shaken, uncomfortably, for 10 seconds as you hope your food and drinks don’t spill in a hard chair. Not to mention expensive, I’m probably never gonna see a 4dx again

Denuvo, so no

In another article they post a photo of an example from reddit and it does say promoted next to the post title. So there’s something there because there is an FTC law saying ads must be disclosed. Obviously they want to obfuscate that it’s an ad as much as possible though so who knows how that’ll change.

I always laugh at, after being in the military and a government employee, things being marketed as military grade. So what, it runs on windows server 2003 and hasn’t been in production for 20 years?
