@twinspin6@kaia So wait, do you both have fairphones? I'm genuinely curious on how you feel about it. I've been disillusioned by Pixels in modern years, and I have no idea what phone I should go to next.
@sun One thing that's always confused me is RSS vs atom. I implemented atom for my website, but I'm not sure if I should have implemented RSS, or if it doesn't matter.
@dielan I have a Thelios, I didn't like PopOS so I installed kubuntu, I like it pretty well. I bought laptops from them before and they kinda suck, never again on their laptops.
I will say, the impression I get is you're paying a bit of a premium for something you could probably build cheaper, or find from a competitor for similar quality/specs cheaper, but if you're okay with that or lazy (as I am), I've been pretty happy with the desktop.
I don't think I've ever opened a medium article and thought "thank god, that was super helpful". I should just filter that whole site from my search results.
@kaia@mangeurdenuage So there's "Don't Show Me Videos Like This", and there's "Don't Show Me Videos From This Account" (I forget the exact wording, something like that). The former seems to do fuck-all, the latter will not show any videos from the account after you reload your feed.
@kaia If they set aside 1M, that's 1M that's not generating money in whatever they think the next sure bet is.
I'm not justifying it - what they're doing is financially destructive and I'm more of a long-term investments person, but I kinda get why it seems obvious to cash out and yet they don't.
@sun yeah, good to not get too excited about things that are hard to control like that. I'm still trying to prepare for it to give myself the best chance, but it might blow up in my face - who knows.
For me, I don't really look at retirement as stopping doing things though. I look at it as "can try doing something you want to do that might not pan out", which I'd like to try some of my own things at least once before I die.
@sun@arcana Yeah I saw a video of this recently, it was very cute! They asked things like where the person was from and what Japanese food they like, and had cards with pictures to point to in case they had trouble communicating.
@arcana@sun Yeah, it's one of the few things culturally that I genuinely like here in America. I'm pretty reserved so I don't think I'd have trouble turning it off, but the opportunity to practice Japanese with some small talk sounds pleasant to me.
I post translations of Azumanga Daioh every Friday, and I occasionally post other things as well.Feel free to follow and interact! I speak English primarily, but I can speak some simple conversational Japanese as well.#nobots #yesbun
