Yeah, I remember checking out Gab / Dissent a while back, because I’m against censorship. All of the comments were just racist, sexist, anti-LGBTQIA+. No rhyme or reason, just hundreds or thousands of crazy people screaming into the void.

I’ve made apple crumble pizza a few times, can recommend!

I just hope I can buy a graphics card without having to sell organs some time in the next two years.

It is exactly like our world, only all doors that you expect to open outwards, actually open inwards, and vice versa.

Deported.

I terminate Firefox and reopen it any time it’s chewing up my RAM, but I usually don’t have more than 500 tabs open at any one time. My tabs persist when Firefox starts again, but tabs don’t fully load until I click on them again. This saves my memory from getting chewed up immediately, and can usually go a week or so before I need to do it again.

From the Australian fair work ombudsmen:

When overpayments occur, the employer and employee should discuss and agree on a repayment arrangement.

If the employee agrees to repay the money, a written agreement should be made which sets out the:

• reason for the overpayment

• amount of money overpaid

• way repayments will be made (for example, cash, cheque or electronic transfer) and how often (this has to be reasonable).

Granted, this is generally for overpayment of wages and not specific to redundancy pay. There may be clauses in their contracts with varying terms that allow them to reclaim, but I’m just some dude on the internet.

It’s EA, I’m surprised they’re not making the minimum requirements Windows 11.

Scraping through a website at the scale they are talking about isn’t really viable. You need access to the API so that you can have very targeted requests.

This is why reddit changed their API pricing and screwed over everyone using third party apps. They can make more money selling access to LLM trainers than they could from having millions of people using apps that rely on the API.

I’ll be pirating, and I haven’t pirated a game in almost twenty years.

I’m in a pretty dark sky area in Australia, was able to make out the colours and waves / lines with the naked eye at its peak. Camera showed lush, bright reds even with about 10-15 seconds of exposure.

Me when I peel my foreskin back.

My money is on them being re-enabled after every update.

You can get thickeners for beverages, some people need them for certain conditions that make swallowing problematic!

No drawbacks for my use case, but there are a few quirks.

Some apps that I’ve dabbled with might show vertically, but most of the Android TV compatible apps were fine.

Some apps seem to expect a touchscreen input, and don’t really show what’s highlighted or selected very well, so navigating with just a TV style remote control can be tricky. I have a mouse and keyboard that I also use, definitely the easiest option.

Lastly, the Shield is a pretty powerful device, so I always kinda feel like I’m not using it to its fullest potential. I haven’t really tried any gaming with it, I don’t use it as a media server or anything, just a simple stream box. That’s less of a quirk with the device itself, and more an issue with me feeling like I should be putting it to better use.

Happy to answer any other questions you may have!

I have an Nvidia Shield running LineageOS.

The setup process wasn’t too bad, but the Shield might be more money than you want to spend.

I use it for Netflix and Plex, as well as Spotify, with no problems. It tells me that Netflix is not optimised for the device, but plays fine. I’ve heard that Netflix may limit it to 720p, but the quality is as good as you can expect from Netflix anyway.

Plex works perfectly, can stream 4k from my media server with no issues. I will eventually transition to Jellyfin, once I convince the 4 other households that have access to my Plex library to sort themselves out.

Am I the only one who thinks the Saloon looks like a Countach?

Over. Bye!
