Brass bell you say?

I run a matte screen protector on my S25. Installed it day one. Matte screens are great!

I was considering a nextpaper or ePaper device when I got the s25, but I wanted something more top of the line, but with a more paper like screen. I found the matte screen protector works great at softening the screen, making it more paper like, but the device isn’t low end, so I can throw anything at it and it just works.

I’ve had some rather disappointing experiences with lower end stuff.

Naw, basically all major players changed their recipies over the last couple years. They are double the price, but have less chocolate, and more palm oil and other BS.

Stick with artisan chocolate, or, if you can, figure out which name brand chocolates haven’t changed their schtick yet. I think snickers are still the same, but don’t hold it against me if they aren’t.

Helped somebody homeschool a kid in elementary school a decade ago, the system was pretty user friendly and only really needed a human adult to keep the kid on task and ensure breaks and such. Basically didn’t need to help at all.

If the student is willing to learn, and knows to take breaks when they lose focus, I don’t see why an AI teacher wouldn’t be sufficient for 90% or more of the class-time… But a human teacher should still be reachable for occasional needs.

Heck one actual teacher could probably manage thousands of students for most classes if AI and digital course systems are there to handle most guidance.

There’s definitely still something to be said for in-person schooling… But it isn’t necessary for every class… I was bored as fuck in school for a handful of basic classes cause I had to wait for the ‘class’ to catch up before we moved on. I prefer online courses for anything that doesn’t require hands on guidance.

Well, I originally saw both Blair Witch and H20 played from really dark and messy VHS copies of theater recordings… And man, let me tell ya, they were both way better as low quality cams that HD movies!

I intentionally watch bad Horror as cams now, when I can, even decades later… It really adds to the experience!

They aren’t a public service, their goal is maximizing profits, the devices they manufacturer and the customer base they farm are just tools to that end.

Fairphone, on the other hand, is a Benefit corp, if I remember correctly.

SOs HP laptop borked Win11pro OS, wouldn’t load or recover. Tried reinstalling clean but Win11 installer can’t see SSD. Driver loading during install results in install crashing error.

Linux, here we come.

Though these new phones and most Samsung devices generally have high quality, durable, and reliable hardware, the devs are making pretty crappy choices about software changes and some hardware choices are just disappointing… This screen, the camera bumps, the old and outdated battery tech.

Samy is falling behind and mucking things up. They’re only likely to stay relevant because of their long standing history.

I mean, I wanna like their tech, but mostly I don’t right now, even though I used to love it… I can see business pros continuing to use their devices, but I don’t want an iPhone clone personally.

Why do they last more than a year?

Why do they exist at all?

Whatever man.

I change up my writing style pretty much constantly.

And I switch between muliple accounts on several services, each representing a different fictional character.

And I use a VPN.

Are you in a movie theater?

Seems aight, I’m fine with FF ATM though.

I do keep alternates around for rare issues, so when helium is out of beta if it ever is, I may install it.

So, who profits from this?

What is a Zionist and why does one thirst for blood.

Interstellar appears to do that, but I hated it, so I’m not gonna test and verify it for ya.

I’ve seen warnings like that when a sites certs expire. Well maintained sites don’t usually let that happen, but I’ve seen it plenty for torrent sites. It’s usually fixed in a few hours or a day.

Like others said, it could also be the ISP, so you can try a VPN, even a free one would probably do, if that was the issue.

You can also try resetting cached data for that site specifically. How to do that is different per browser, search online for more info specific to your browser.

A non-profit community service.

We need an international digital media co-op library.

Anyone can upload/donate their digitally owned content and share ownership with the community… Or people can pool funds with the community and it can buy digital content as a non-profit co-op with shared ownership and access. Then use private torrents to decentralize data hosting and improve streaming to members.

Imagine Netflix as a non-profit digital library.

Movies, TV shows, eBooks, magazines, and music.

Maybe Cuba would be willing to host it’s main office?

I’d be interested to know if that’s true.

I’ve seen plenty of both misandry and misogyny.

I’ve only seen misandry so far on this thread.

It would be pretty upsetting if who saw what was deliberate in order to manipulate the viewers.

Girls do this shit too, and it’s not new.

The general message to ‘be good to each other’ is very old, and has to be told often. The internet provides for a lot of anonymity and seperation from consequence, so allows for people to say shitty things without the moderation that’s more common in public and personal spaces.

It’s not surprising at all that there is tons of men or women online talking shit about each other. What is surprising is that the platforms it happens on don’t just delete that crap as a rule. Many will let it fester and negatively effect the community because people interact with it, and interaction means ad hits.

We need laws that make monetizing such content illegal, to encourage it’s quick removal.

Just bitching about having to see it isn’t good enough.
