My rent increased 13% and the price to see my doctor for 5 minutes just to refill a rx went up 90%. I haven’t paid my gas bill in 4 months.

I do not have that app. I thought it was baked into google services which I haven’t 100% gotten rid of, still on OEM and not lineage or graphene.

How do I check if I have the latest location reporting support? And then turn it off?

Since they’re light weight, they don’t need the heavy rail for freight trains that put >25 tons per axle. It would be incredibly easy to make little switching stations that could pass, turn, and store these pods. Having mini train infrastructure like that everywhere would complete my autism. Life would be complete and I could die happy in a monorail pod crash.

Glance works to deliver recommendations to users like ads, news articles, and more on the lock screen.

How do I block it?

Glance will side with offering a subscription service where users can pay for “premium news” on their lock screens every month.

Oh, so just don’t pay for it, right?

Fortunately, you can disable Glance on the phone, but we found that the service would occasionally produce a full-screen prompt on the lock screen, encouraging you to re-enable the feature.

Oh, so more bloat using resources even when disabled.

Glance will seek to make a profit through the aforementioned subscription and if users interact with its “product of the day.”

Its literally just a venture to capture and advertise on every visible space possible.

It looks like I’ll be spending 2025 onward with Linux and a flip phone.

I don’t even live in a HOA, the actually city government does that here. I’ve gotten a warning. And they will cut stuff down then fine you. I don’t know how the fuck this is legal, but it’s not like there are any lawyers that would care about this place. Small towns where the entire local government is comprised of old people that all know and grew up together are scary.

We already are, bud.

I never had one that could do anything other than wifi and USB. I bought broken ones for <$40 and would put together “fresh” rebuilds with emulators to “donate”. Thinking about it I miss the hax0r more than their use. Replaying Pokémon emerald for hours during off time was just a benefit.

Same same. I really really want buttons, but I’ve been playing on touch screen emulators since the… I forget what it was even called, iTouch is a crime, so it was ipod touch? Idk, the first through maybe 3rd gen of those. 2012 hardware. I actually love the bigger screen and some graphic enhancements that the emulators/mods can do. But my steam deck is still a big thing to carry. Unless I know that’s the only thing I’m using when I’m out, I feel like I need a backpack to carry it and other stuff. I’ll have to dive into the rabbit hole of Chinese pocket emulators, I’ve only kept up with the us/euro Kickstarter type ones. Something pocket sized with buttons is really all I want. But again, do I need to consume that when I already have multiple options?

I 100% amazing mirror several times on GBA. Loved that device and many games it had. I want a modern pocket emulator GB device but can’t justify it since I already have a Steam deck. Or a phone. I guess nostalgia doesn’t hold enough monetary value to me to profit off of.

Private crime scene clean up crew. Need to scrub the brain matter off the ceiling before it soaks in and makes the next tenants uncomfortable. That’ll be $2700. Oh we need to vacuum up a bunch of dust, but in a super special location? The government funded federal cleaning crew will have that vacuumed up with 2 wipe downs for only $50k.

Pack a fat lip of dip

That’s actually a really cool idea. Couples could each have their own full desktop but then play together on the TV and couch.

Yeah, I’m wondering if valve could essentially turn steamlink into a cluster “app” to game using all your compatible hardware resources. They would have to map resources out to be actually useful but I think it would be.

Edit: yeah I’m just coming up with technology we can’t make yet :( imagine if we were on a slightly different but better timeline were you could just slap your phone and steam deck together and got phone does whatever it can to help.

I feel like both AMD(ATI) and Nvidia gave up on dual gpu architecture because new next generation single units were immediately putting dual systems to shame with cost and power. There was really no need for the gaming sector to take up networked computing.

The systems, architecture, logistics, all that stuff has been made for large systems because that’s just necessary. We wouldn’t have AI as we know it without it. The question is will some company think there’s enough profit to make that worth scaling down to consumer hardware.

As I wrote that I wrote profit, and there is no profit in letting people take their weaker older systems and cluster/ mesh them so you don’t have to buy bigger newer tech. So no, this will never happen. Valve might have done it a while ago just as a side project fuck you, because they used to be like that. But now they sell hardware alongside the big boys. No more fun.

It’s been pretty well established data that many psychedelics promote neuritogenesis. If drugs weren’t illegal so we could study all of them and figure out why, we would have such a better understanding of medicine for the brain. Combined with brain scanning. Instead, we spend billions every year to have GP ask “how you feelin today?” then throw whatever ssri they’ve been told work for that type of not happy works. And if that one doesn’t work try this other one.

The entire system is so fucked that I know it won’t get fixed in my lifetime.
