It also has basically the same plot with the same enemies. Except they added a red lady villain that is weirdly sexualized and a kid gets magic powers - because nature.

A bicycle will transport me in the same manner every time I use it. A calculator will always give me the correct result of 2+2.

What was your point about AI again?

I worked in a callcentre for many years and had changing shifts every two weeks. Having to come in at 6am and then getting that switched to 4pm wreaked havoc on my body and after doing this for quite a while, I just crashed and got burnout.

Recovery took me two years, where I basically just slept. Five days a week are just too much, it’s a system designed to squeeze the last bit of labor value out of you and I fucking hated it. Nowadays, I’m not able to physically work for more than four days, or else I’ll crash again.

I had a lot of luck, so I can now work entirely from home. No commute, Fridays are off. Sounds super cozy and amazing, but the thing is: I need that Friday for myself. A lot of times I’ll just sleep so I can have some energy on the actual weekend. 🫩

When it comes to doctor’s appointments, I just tell my boss I have one and that’s it. As it should be. We are humans, not machines.

Same here. Sometimes I need the Friday just to sleep, but it’s nice.

Every time I have to do something in a Microsoft admin interface at work. Worst software on the planet, fuck SharePoint, fuck Teams, burn it all to the ground.

The existing options for portable gaming all suck

I have a GPD Win Max 2. 64GB of RAM, Ryzen 7, RDNA3(.5) GPU…it’s a beast. Fits in my jacket pocket and can run Cyberpunk with raytracing.

It’s expensive as hell, but it’s a really good handheld machine. They even mention emulation on their own site and put up some benchmarks and I can confirm it - I regularly play games with rpcs3 and pcsx2 at a stable 4K60fps.

Thinkpad L390 Yoga. They crammed a 4.6 GHz CPU into a cooling system that was not designed for it, so the machine ran hot and throttled all of the time. The keyboard keys rubbed off after a few months of use. The Thinkpad logo was just a sticker that one day decided to stick to my hand because Lenovo used really cheap glue. It had a MicroEthernet port with a passive adapter that did nothing but break it out to a regular ethernet jack. The adapter cost 30€ and its cable turned into oil after a year.

I was able to undervolt the CPU and make it barely passable, then Microsoft released a Windows update that prevented undervolting. Gave it to a friend afterwards and got myself a GPD Win Max 2.

Maybe he bought that RAM before the crisis. I got a 64GB netbook last year, shortly before it became unobtainium.

Y’all aren’t old at all.

We are old, you are ancient! 😄

I bought an ATI Rage Fury Maxx for a lot of money on eBay. It’s one of the first dual GPUs, based on the Rage 128 chip.

However, back then there was no flow control between the two graphic chips, which means a lot of games horribly stutter if one of them renders a bit faster than the other. There are a few games that work really well with it, and a shit ton of games that don’t.

The card is an absolute novelty, a piece of history and it looks cool. But there is no good reason for putting this in a retro computer, because even a regular Rage 128 will run better.

I don’t regret getting it, but I regret paying too much for it. 🫠

I bought a netbook (GPD Win Max 2) with 64GB of RAM last year. It was really expensive, by 2025 standards.

But now I feel like I have the power of the universe in my jacket pocket. Best irresponsible buying decision I ever made.

defecation

Unintentionally accurate typo

True! discuss.tchncs.de is also pretty nice. We have a few more communities that feddit has defederated (for good reason, though, not everyone wants pr0n in their main feed :D).

Most people didn’t even notice such a vote was happening until today, when it spilled over to lemmy.world.
A discussion topic about it on Feddit was only created six hours ago and most people in there are like “Oh no! Anyway…”.

Seems more like you want people to be furious. We can all wish for something, but that doesn’t mean it’ll actually happen.

My guess is that they’ll be seething when they find out.

From what I get, most of us are just relieved. The moderation team should definitely pop the champagne today, because there’s a lot less work to do from now on. 🍾

In Germany, after national socialism, we have very strict rules on how you are allowed to talk about it, because there were unfortunately a lot of people still denying it or not believing it.

True. But a lot of people on the whole Fediverse seem to be very narrow-minded black-and-white thinkers. In their logic, abiding to the law in Germany is equivalent to following direct orders from the Gestapo. Maybe you just don’t want to get arrested and put in jail for running a niche community on the internet, but that’s not even an argument to them.

Some people in that db0 thread even suggested feddit.org should just shut down completely, which is ridiculous. Every country must’ve laws you don’t agree with, but you don’t run and hide because of that.

This “we vs. them” attitude is exactly what’s been criticized about MAGA all of the time, but doing it in this case is perfectly legitimate, somehow. I don’t know what kind of brain gymnastics you’ll have to do to come to a conclusion like this.

It’s just exhausting trying to talk to these people. I say let them shut down their community and hang out in their radicalized bubble. Good riddance.

Ah Shit, here we go again.

It’s pretty heavy which was weird for the first few days, but I got used to it. At first, it was a bit hard to hold that heavy brick in my hands and reach the keyboard on the bottom without losing my balance, but now I don’t have a problem with it anymore. And I notice now that I can start typing blindly more and more, which is super cool.

The OLED screen on the back is a gimmick I rarely use. But I really like that the device sits flat on a surface if you put it into the official case. There’s no camera bump tilting it at an angle, like so many modern smartphones do.

Be aware that they use old BlackBerry screens, which have been sitting in a warehouse for years. They have great resolution, but some of them started to delaminate at the edges and that looks like stains on your screen. I got lucky and my screen is pretty good, but other people got really messed up screens. Unihertz is not handling those issues well, it seems, only offering a free case or very low discounts.

And for now, there has only been one small software update. No security updates at all. They released initial software for early reviewers, then one update for the Kickstarter backers and a bugfix. That’s it.

They have promised one more major Android release, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’ll be their final update, to be honest.
