I can always bulk download whatever I want on the high seas.

Still better than normal corn on pizza

Yeah I’ve considered it. But it’s just so loong.

I was a palm treo man myself. I was way faster after a year or two on those than I am after a decade of iPhone.

Very nice, I didn’t know this existed. Looks very blackberry-esque.

I hope we see more keyboard phones. I’d buy an iPhone with a keyboard.

That’s quite a strong endorsement for Signal.

Mastodon has a lot of work to do to catch up to Bluesky, but I hope they do it.

Well Reddit wouldn’t be the juggernaut it is now if Digg hadn’t done similarly stupid things and paid the ultimate price. Social media sites do fall, and Lemmy grows a little every time this happens. I honestly don’t care. I like Lemmy how it is now.

It may have to do with spending more of the die on NPU and GPU features? Some of these new integrated processors have massive GPU cores on them.

No doubt there are many superior codecs. Opus is amazing, we use it for voice and video over IP. But I doubt anything will ever be as universally playable as MP3.

It’s still my preferred format. Everything can play it. At 256kbit or better it sounds fine for usual listening.

I run Zwave and love it. Advantages:

• better range and less interference in 900mhz band with meshing
• better battery life. WiFi uses up to an order of magnitude more power. Battery in Zwave devices lasts for years, with new ones being even better in this regard
• more secure as they cannot be hacked by hacking your internet or getting on your WiFi.
• more feature rich. Zwave devices tend to be geared towards more pro use and tend to have just about every feature you can imagine
• The Zwave standards body is quite strict in ensuring devices adhere to the standard so it’s much harder to get “stinker” devices that don’t. This is a bigger problem with zigbee for example.
• fully local. You can be 100% sure they aren’t sending your data off somewhere
• Generally high quality. I’ve had quite good luck with pretty much all the Zwave devices I’ve bought. They last a long time and are reliable if your mesh is working properly (enough powered repeater nodes).

Where’s Luigi when you need him?

TBH it’s mostly stuff that you know you shouldn’t be having. Food additives, fried or blackened foods, heavily processed foods, etc. Generally stuff you’d consider unhealthy for other reasons too.

These days most people understand a healthy diet is a Mediterranean style one lean meats, fruits and veggies, whole grains, some healthy fat like olive oil or avocados. They just don’t want to do that.

Lemmy still loves you.

TBH I feel like only he has a name with enough weight to play this beast.

Yes I use DDG which gives me similar results for most things. When I can’t find it there I go to Kagi. It has sometimes surprised me with much better results, but the cases are rare. I’d happily pay them 10 cents a search or something for those cases where I need to try it.

I need per search pricing. Their plan includes way too many searches and is way too expensive. I use it like 2-3 times a month.
