But maybe people would like a standalone device, without the distraction a regular smartphone brings.

I’m not defending this thing as AI in its current state is near useless, bar some niche applications. But the decision to make it a standalone device isn’t really controversial in my opinion.

I don’t know man, I loved YouTube back in the days when people made videos for shits and giggles. No one expected money from that.

You can use Revanced for example. Alphabet is trying to fuck that up too, but it’s still going strong. Plus, a revanced YouTube is a lot better than the regular app. Want to get rid of Shorts? Revanced will let you get rid of those shitty videos for good. Hate sponsor messages in Videos? Revanced will let you integrated sponsorblock.

The day that revanced won’t work anymore is the day I’ll stop using YouTube.

Given how terrible Teams performes, I’d dread to have merely 8GB to run it on.

• can’t charge the phone when the USB port is in use
• can’t use the aux input of any external devices
• can’t use the headphones with anything else
• shitty experience as someone else here mentioned
• …

I like my Pixel 7 Pro but its also my first phone without a headphone jack and I hate it. Bluetooth is such a shitty standard and the USB dongles suck ass too. Why the fuck did they have to get rid of something so simple and practical…

Yeah, I hink its super useful too. But i usually use win+d.

Mushroom warp is so dumb, I don’t even know where to start. Disco is shit. Wokeness isn’t the problem though.

I never had the feeling that wokeness was shoved in one’s face. Disco has other problems that are very severe. Because it’s shit. But not because of wokeness.

Porn is everywhere though? I recommend noodlemagazine for free full porn videos. Or are you talking about amateur content? It’s what I sort of miss from Reddit, but then again, most of it was just teasers for their shitty OF.

Often it’s literally the same thing. In Europe there is a code in every product that’ll show you where it’s produced. You’ll often find that the cheap brand comes from the same factory as the expensive brand. They just get different packaging.

Better run a level 3 diagnostic, just to be sure.

Dick Berman is also a nice touch

Ich tu dir weh, Stein um Stein, Wiener Blut, etc.

All fantastic songs, but I don’t get joy from them anymore unfortunately.

I can look past the mycelial network. I just can’t tolerate some of the characters. And unfortunately they decided to focus on one main character. And that character’s main feature is to cry throughout the entire series, despite being raised by vulcans. Also the pacing of the show is very annoying. It’s high tension drama, all the time.

I watched the whole thing. There were some episodes that kinda gave me hope. Those usually were the ones that weren’t part of the main plot. But the next episode it went back to the same dramatic formula.

Oh, and Tilly. What the hell man? How did she get into Starfleet??

That said, I’m happy people enjoy it! It’s just not for me.

The answer was already posted, my comment wasn’t meant to be helpful, just a little jab at a presumably German person who apparently has never seen one of the billion machines that you put your returnable bottles and cans into.

Brudi, you have a German username and you don’t know Tomra? You keeping all your bottles and cans stacked in your basement or what?

I don’t necessarily mean to live like a nomad or something similar. I mean to cut working hours in half for example and just come to terms with living in a shitty apartment. With more spare time on your hands, you can be outside more, do more sports, pick up hobbies (not all hobbies need to be expensive). Just live a more modest life but put the focus on yourself instead of work. Most people with well paying jobs grow accustomed to the luxury they can afford, which makes it difficult to go back to the level of comfort one used to have when they were students for example. I was happy as a student, I was also dirt poor. But happy!

In Germany it’s starting to get hard to find employees. Our demographic is fucked.

The company I work for offers 35h per week / 30 days of vacation plus 6 additional days that you can either take or transform into money / work from home (if you wish) / paid overtime / paid travel time / good travel compensation / a very, very strong union (IG Metall) / subsidized meals / very good pay (for German standards) etc.

Yet we have a hard time finding people. It’s a bummer but I believe the young people don’t really have anything to work for. Nice housing is scarce and way too expensive, excessive consumption just fuels the climate catastrophe so no point in amassing shit no one really needs. They just want to have some time to themselves and don’t give a shit about leading a comfortable life. And I fully understand them. If it weren’t for my daughter I’d have sold the house and all meaningless shit and lead a healthy life instead of working for some dipshit just to make said dipshit richer.
