Umm, correct me if this seems like a bad take…but is there a need for a new console generation considering the overlap of the xbone/ps4 with this gen? Only the Nintendo Switch is in dire need of a hardware upgrade, especially with handheld gaming computers like Steam Deck offering much needed competition.
Of course, I’m all about non invasive spy wear! If you get one, just remember to temper your expectations! It will get there….eventually <3
Hopefully you will have fun! It isn’t too much trouble to set up, and it has some pretty cool apps!
I don’t necessarily think it’s too late. There will be a niche that someone/some entity will settle into for us privacy minded folk. Hopefully that niche gets beefy processors and extra ram fr fr
So Pine 64 has a PineTime watch that is pretty nifty if people want sans spying techwear. Very basic and very alpha/beta mode…but it gets better every so often! More people use it or know about it, the more development it gets!
There is so much music now, once I found out an artist doesn’t align with my values it’s easy to drop them.
Yes! Yes you can! Vectoring synthesis voices is also cool!
This is the way. But milk teas and boba tea is pretty good for a tea mix drink.
Several modular synth modules use joysticks for control over parameters, but one of the coolest I’ve seen is one from Delptronics that uses a wii nunchuck controller to send out control voltage. Hagiwo I believe also has a similar DIY design.
Tacos, Enchiladas, Papusa’s, Gorditas, Tamales, etc. I’m very spoiled where Im at.
I feel like this is ripe for abuse. I’m sure insurance companies purchase this data to screw their customers in some wicked way
Big time memories here. Yes books on tape were a big thing for people stuck to cars. My dad had a bunch of them.
Holy smokes! I was an avid TikTok person for music before they enshittified it with ads and the shop features. Can’t wait for Loops!
I like the federation for interacting with people in a way that’s similar to previous social media sites, but without the bloat and advertising.
It’s also nice to not have to deal with the extreme political rhetoric unless I specifically look for it, such as HexBear or .ML instances.
My mastodon is mostly queer/alternative folk and I share my music and exploits online diary style.
Lemmy is mostly how I used Reddit, but I’m less of a lurker here.
Maker tube (Peertube) is cool because I can watch, make, or share videos like YouTube used to be before the commercialization.
TanukiTunes (FunkWhale) is awesome because I can upload my own music or listen to music without having to fork over data, and I can donate/purchase music directly through the profile’s preferred method instead of Spotify hellscape.
I’ll eventually get a Pixelfed for my photography exploits. I occasionally use Mastodon to share cool pics I find.
All in all, Federation is my net home. Love it
Thank you so much for sharing this. I literally cannot stand the modern net. I’ve made it a point to curate personal websites. Found a bunch of cool ones on the lainchan web ring. Will check out Gemini
A lot of it has to do with Texas having the Gulf of Mexico ports all along the coast. It’s a big reason petrochemical refining is so big in Texas. Another plus for Texas is it’s abundance of land they can either buy or imminent domain. Now don’t get me wrong I’m not a Texas supporter, but it’s just one of those location based decisions I’m sure.
Not to mention if your a business in Texas you usually only get slaps on the wrist when you poison the environment. Worker safety? Mostly dependent on company policy with the main focus just barely making OSHA compliance. If the fine is cheaper than compliance, a lot of companies just pay the fine if it happens.
I actually use funkwhale now for music. It’s really decent so far. A little buggy though, but it should iron out
Saved, thanks chief!

I’ll tell you why I’m pretty liberal with my block button and cool with my echo chamber. There are people out there who want me dead for liking my same sex. My trans friends are being legislated against / threatened with violence not because of science or health, but because of feelings and religion. I have family that emigrated legally being exposed to horrific racism and the threat of violence.
Do you support human rights? Or do you support death to the “other” ? Makes my choices easy. Not to mention I prefer actual truth to my information sources, not tabloid fluff designed to keep me enraged.
