My favorite story about best buy is in the early 2000’s, a family member gifted me a $20 gift card to best buy, which unbeknownst to them, I had stopped shopping at because it got too expensive and I started buying from newegg instead. Anyway, I walk in and am thinking 'well I don’t really need anything big right now, like a full PC, laptop, etc. Maybe I’ll just get a DVD or something."

Even with a $20 gift card, Best buy prices were so marked up, they were either still more expensive, or the same price as other stores. I think other stores were selling DVD’s at like $15 (not new-releases) and best buy was $35. I walked out and never ended up buying anything. I’m shocked they’re still around to be honest.

Part of me says there’s no way the world agrees to participate in the Olympics in LA in 2028 based on how fascist we’re becoming, but then, Hitler had the Olympics in Nazi Germany and the world stage still came. So… Guess history repeats itself eh? Eh? Eh? God we’re so fucked.

Upon reading the Wikipedia page, only Ireland and Spain chose to sit that one out. But more nations showed up to Nazi Germany than the previous 1932 Olympics, 49 up from 37 nations. Fun!

Lmao trying to hide porn in the late 90’s early 2000’s is what taught me the concept of steganography. There was a windows app you could hide a file vault in an image using steganography, I tried it but eventually the file got corrupted and my stash was ruined, lol.

Would you mind elaborating on why go for an older pro vs newer -a model?

I’m not sure I would agree for arch if the OP wants low maintenance. I’ve never run it myself, but the way I’ve heard arch described is the further you go without regular updates the more likely you are to have a problem when you do update.

Hah, I randomdly picked this screen name, never seen paper moon either! Just looked it up, seems Interesting, added it to the queue.

Dark had a planned ending, it was 3 seasons and then done.

The Netflix TV show Dark. Holy hell. I missed SO much the first time. If you haven’t seen this show do yourself a favor and watch it, the amount of detail is crazy, and the casting is top notch. Watch it in German with English subtitles though, the English dubbing is really, really horrendous.

I watched idiocracy at home a year or 2 after it came out, and I hated it because i felt like it beat you over the head with the message, like yeah I get it, I don’t need to watch an hour more of this!

…then I rewatched it after our handling of covid and January 6 insurrection… Thought to myself “yep… Thats how the future plays out…”

If you watched it now for the first time? In 2025? Fucking hell. I hate this timeline.

Aren’t most app configurations and settings saved in the user’s .config folder? Again you have to know to look for this, but that should be most of your settings right?

/home/[username]/.config/

I mean, i feel obvious for saying this, but maybe others dont know: If we’re just talking about apps, this is also a 1-liner in most package managers that you can even automate in a shell script

sudo apt-get install firefox vlc thunderbird etc…

if we’re talking more complex environments like a dev environment, mix of python packages, libraries, docker containers, etc obviously thats a lot of attention to manually save all of those details for later and something else should probably be used

I can confirm the xdrip app works on grapheneOS, currently use it on a pixel 8a

Yo, from one type 1 to another, get yourself some xdrip to replace the dexcom app, its miles ahead and more configurable.

And depending on which omnipod you got, and how technical you are, check out AndroidAPS if you want an open source closed-loop solution.

If you got the omnipod dash you can use it directly with AndroidAPS via Bluetooth.

I use both of these with dexcom G6 and an accu-chek Bluetooth insulin pump, and its amazing vs the commercial solutions.

Uh-huh…

God damn it, there’s so much on there I had no idea, and I’ve been hating nestle since the early 2000’s…

Just a few I was buying, unaware:

Carnation

Cheerios

Coffeemate

DiGiorno pizza

Well now I’m really curious what you were originally replying to, that could be affecting prices, haha

I’m really confused how these things are related?

Its really frustrating they haven’t released the steam controller 2 modeled after the steamdeck, because it makes the steamdeck not as useful for docking situations. You get used to the 4 back paddle buttons and then dock it and try and use the steam controller and it’s missing the extra 2 back buttons, and other analog stick, so your muscle impulses are thrown off when playing your favorite games.

It might still be salvageable, if you can find lodgings and arrangments in the general area for the correct week (obviously with the event going on, you might not be able to find prime locations anymore) and then ask the airbnb you accidentally booked if you can get a refund, explaining what happened and how stupid you feel. It depends on if the airbnb is operated by the owner, or a business. If its the owner they might let you off the hook, understanding how much of a devastating fuck-up it is.
