the ! addressing allows you to post a link that anybody can click to get their instance’s version of the community link. So for example, !linux@lemmy.ml posted anywhere on lemmy becomes a link to https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/linux@lemmy.ml for me, but the exact same link is a link to https://aussie.zone/c/linux@lemmy.ml for you
The matrix is capitalism and being cis
I tend to binge through books. I just finished Andy Weir’s Artemis and Project Hail Mary in about one night each.
Which means the things I’m in the middle of tend to be web serials since I can’t just rush through. I’ve got dozens of tabs of royalroad open in my phone’s browser. Everything by Ravensdagger is good, and I’ve been enjoying Return of the Runebound Professor and Let’s Not Obliterate, and awaiting the scheduled return from hiatus of Ends of Magic on Monday.

It’s not crypto mining, because crypto mining is basically worthless on consumer hardware now. What it does is run its own ads and pay you for enduring them and being spied upon by them in its own cryptocurrency.
Rimworld, KSP1, Stellaris
Kinda hoping to stretch it until tablet style foldables get reasonably reliable and affordable
A recipe for frequent civil wars
Pop os, but don’t install brave, it’s bullshit cryptocurrency spyware.
Galaxy note 9. It’s the peak smartphone, no holepunch nonsense, every useful feature, still plenty fast. The only drawbacks are that the battery is starting to wear out, which is fixable with a bit of fuss, and the screen has a little bit of keyboard burn in, only visible on all black screens.
Poe’s law, but it’s chatGPT and centrists
Liberalism is a conservative, pro-capitalist ideology
The no account suggestions are even worse
three dots -> don’t recommend channel

Voat was founded to be free speech maximalist relative to Reddit. Basically the only subreddits Reddit ever banned that weren’t bigots or pedophiles were r/shoplifting because corpos don’t like being stolen from and r/chapotraphouse to present an appearance of impartiality when banning r/thedonald.
When someone online bemoans a lack of free speech, you have to ask, “free speech to say what?” in much the same tone as you might ask, “states’ rights to do what?”
Voat was by and for the weird racists from the start.
Somebody had put the Halo CE demo in some gym teacher’s shared folder and everybody in the school could access it and play LAN blood gulch
“It’s great right up until it breaks.” is a perfect summary
Laptop and Chromebook are two very different things. A laptop is sufficient for any use case that doesn’t demand GPU power, but if you’re ever considering buying a “gaming” laptop, don’t. You can get a cheap laptop and a decent gaming desktop for the same price and they’ll last you longer and run better.
A Chromebook is just walled garden bullshit.
