Surprised no one has said MyHouse.wad yet

Same. Physical media will degrade and fail. If you want reliable access to the VHS collection then you need to digitize and create backups. About 10% of my collection wasn’t able to be digitized due to degradation

I recommend not supporting that company. The old Ticket to Ride app was delisted and servers shuttered. It probably had ~$100 worth of IAP for different maps which couldn’t be transferred to the new app

Yes, but not in a way you might think.

When it comes to the death penalty, I’ve always been on the “against” side of the fence. But for very heinous crimes, I believed I understood why families of victims would want to pursue that.

On an online forum, I encountered such a family member. They shared the crime in great detail, and how they felt about the assailant. The way they discussed it was very ugly, selfish, and overly punitive. It was clear they no longer viewed the person as a human being. They weren’t able to process the trauma. This changed my belief that there are rational arguments for the death penalty from family members.

If you’re down for a recipe…

1. Get a couple packs of blueberries
2. Pour them in a bowl
3. Add a couple tablespoons of cocoa powder
4. Add cayenne pepper (twice as much as you think you should)
5. Stir with a spoon to combine
6. Use the same spoon to eat (do NOT eat with your hands)

Should taste equal parts spicy and sweet. If too spicy, dilute with more cocoa powder or blueberries.

Highly recommend SomaFM

Drop-in cloud/API replacement for YouTube front-ends. It would keep track of watch history and return recommended videos from an algorithm that’s user configurable

Same thing for the sequels. Here’s an article about it. Maybe it’s the passage of time, but I’d say 2 is much more visually stunning than 1

A warranty is only as good as the company offering it. I’d opt for a shorter warranty with good customer service

Is anyone aware of a third-party service for tracking YouTube watch history across devices? That’s the missing piece keeping me from switching

My Pebble watch

I’d recommend First Cow

It was a sub-brand of Lego. Saved them from going under actually. Then discontinued and later rebooted (with different designs and parts) and rediscontinuted.

Here’s a good doc on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=126bLUkHuNI

I have “Lemmy” tattooed across my elbow

Zeelool has some more left field choices if you’re into that. Otherwise I second eyebuydirect

Worth noting: Android only

I’m not as sure. EFF does a fair amount of important reporting to hold big tech companies accountable. The same goes for Check My Ads. Obviously there’s places like The Verge, WIRED, and TechCrunch. Right now politics and tech are pretty intertwined. Having folks with a more technical background cover stories could be pretty beneficial for asking better, deeper questions

I think if you’re willing to put in the work to learn programming it could give you a pretty big leg up understanding the people and culture surrounding tech. It’s also a decent backup career option

I think the situation will improve as people migrate there and more normal videos get uploaded

I’ve seen that argument for Odysee as far back as 5 years ago. I don’t think it’s going to occur. Same goes for Truth Social

For electronics try Swappa or Jawa
