Ranch Dressing Soda says “Y’all get yer fixins” across the bottom LOL

Fixins are the things like sauces and toppings that you “fix up” your food with (FYI)

No, and I wouldn’t want it to. I have plenty of space on my server anyway.

That is not true, it is completely possible with systems like Nextcloud and Owncloud. I have one set up at home and it’s great.

The phone app auto-uploads your chosen pics directory’s contents to your chosen cloud backup folder on a schedule or any time you want. And it’s free software.

What about the noble turkey?? Ben Franklin just rolling plumply in his grave right now.

Why do people think you’re supposed to wear that all day long? I don’t think it was ever marketed as a permanent piece of headwear.

I’ve always assumed that every VR or AR system was intended to be used for a session and taken off, seems obvious.

VR is totally “there” for those who want to use it, and it does take a little more effort than plopping into a chair and clicking a mouse. But that’s life - you get more out of things you put more effort into.

No idea why you would think it’s hard to buy MP3s. I’ve never had a problem buying any, just go to the big name FAANG companies’ music store webpages or Bandcamp for FLACs. No DRM on any that I bought.

SteamVR on PC is excellent FYI. Lots of great VR games on Steam

Everyone can lose weight though, and we all know what works to do it. You simply eat less food.

The hard part for everyone is manifesting the willpower to resist hunger. Often it takes a life-threatening health scare to manifest that willpower for people, and then they diet and lose weight to avoid dying.

Personally, I said fuck the grid and built my own solar power without it. I have separate grid power too.

Generally with android custom ROMs including GrapheneOS, you will need to make sure your cell service and data is working properly on stock android first. Things like VoLTE provisioning need to be done on stock OS for some reason.

Basically if everything with cellular talk / text / data works on stock, it’s probably good to go for upgrading to custom ROMs. VoLTE provisioning can be checked with a secret dialpad code I don’t remember at the moment.

I’ve had 2 phones with GrapheneOS and never heard of those issues before.

I don’t have any of those devices, but I have observed the test I described showing the voice recognition being performed.

Ask Siri if she knows who you are. Let another person ask Siri anything. Then ask Siri if it’s doing voice recognition to identify your voice.

There are a lot of companies already doing voice recognition on our audio data, but you don’t hear much about it.

It seems like China is putting a lot of efforts into becoming environmentally cleaner in the last few years though. I’m hoping that they’ve finally realized that pollution is bad.

Well here we are, with all the signs of everything going as badly as possible fully present. Goddamn evil robot sentries guarding the fascist dictator-wannabe’s personal luxury habitat. At least down there, if one of those things malfunctions and hurts somebody it would have to be one of the worst people around.

This is certainly not the future I dreamed of as a child and young man.

Maybe what they are trying to say is that most everyday folks don’t use those terms in any normal conversation. I’ve never used those terms myself and haven’t heard them in any conversation I can recall outside of the Internet.

I think my mom still uses the last CRT TV that I had. Gave it to her when I bought my first 720p HD TV, as the old CRT was better than her old TV. Later on I also gave her that HD TV but she still has the CRT too.

Your first comment was right: no phone
