I buy physical copies if available, usually only if available in a local store or directly from their bandcamp or a show, otherwise yarr matey.

And that’s just supposed to make me ignore this ridiculous nonsense?
To the point about D&D rulebooks, do you not know you’re buying a pack of Magic cards? No, you just don’t know what’s in the pack. If you already knew exactly what was in the D&D rulebook, why would you need to buy the book?
No. I replied to it. Maybe don’t argue the point and continue being wrong while you’re “conceding” then if you expect me to take it seriously. Keep that smug shit to yourself especially when you’re this off base, smugness is for the correct.
Listen pal,
Not your pal, guy.
I already told you that wasn’t my intention,
“But then I doubled down.”
but the existence of the game around Magic means there’s a literal difference between that and all the other examples, for fuck’s sake.
It doesn’t make people who collect Magic cards any better. It just means their collection has a practical use in addition to display.
Makes it sound like you’re saying those who play rather than simply collect are indeed better, “magic collecters who don’t play are just as bad as those buying labubus” type shit. Your “dickhead” routine isn’t helping that. Just saying, that’s probably why you got those five downvotes you’re crying about, if I had to guess. I mean, you did ask I’m just trying to help.
Sure, I’ll believe it wasn’t your intention and you’re just a natural asshole, fine. That better sweetie?

So then all books are now mystery boxes, and so are movies, tv shows, music, etc? Unless you’ve memorized every word? That’s not ridiculous at all lol.
No, to fit your analogy you’d need to buy “DnD Book” sight unseen, and then open a wrapper find out if it’s the PH, DMG, Tasha’s, whatever. “Aww man player’s handbook again? Why can’t I get the Monster Manual?!”
But yes it does kind of seem like you’re putting down those who collect “useless” things and your distinction of collecting to display vs collecting to play a game is tenuous at best. It’s like saying that collecting guitars is better than magic because at least you can gain a real skill instead of playing with sweaty dudes in the card shop every Friday, like, sure but also guitar is no more worthy a pursuit than magic which is no more worthy a pursuit than collecting action figures or [insert any “useless” item that brings someone joy.] Sometimes people like things that you don’t, it just be like that.

The similarity is the mystery box nature of them, not what’s intended to be done with them.
Are D&D rulebooks mysteries when you buy them, or do you know it’s the player’s handbook before purchase?
And btw you’re not better than other collectors simply because you play a little game with your collection, you’re the same as any philatelist.

I’m with you, let people have fun. Just like with anything else it’s all about moderation and self control.
I bought way too man Pokemon cards, Crazy Bones, and Pogs back in my day to talk shit now, and I had fun doing it too.

But the firmware that can do this:
A) Still desyncs your real fob
B) Still has to read a signal from the fob, you’d have to do that before your OG broke.
C) Costs like $2000, is serial locked to two flippers, and is being sold sketchily by a guy recently released from prison who has no accountability not to scam you.
- Comment on Flipper Zero, Car Thieves, and a Brewing Security Crisis: What’s Really Going On? 4 weeks ago:
I’ma be honest, a wedge, a puffy bag, and a fancy stick is like $20 at every auto store and works just as well on those fancy doors as it does on keyed ones. If someone wants in they’ll get in.
At least the electronic ones ostensibly can’t be hotwired though, supposedly. Not sure how much I believe that though.

That is true, I never thought of that since back in my getting caught days vapes didn’t exist. Getting caught probably does factor into their rationale.

- Comment on Why is Lemmy much better with telling a user why they were banned? 4 weeks ago:
Sometimes. Some servers will “rule 1” you and rule one basically amounts to “don’t say things I don’t like.”
And then sometimes you say the Tiflis bank robbery was bad because they blew up innocent people on the street with grenades, and then a guy responds that “it was pretty cool actually,” and then you get banned for saying “well I hope something cool happens to you then” in an attempt to get them to empathize with the victims by putting themselves as the victim instead if the “pretty cool” robbers, despite being the one who in practice is against the murder of innocents, and then you can’t tell if you were banned because the mod couldn’t process the context of the thread or because they were a tankie who agrees murdering innocents is, in fact, pretty cool. I mean, sure I was being rude becauase I’m not usually nice when people say murdering innocents in the process of a bank robbery is “pretty cool,” so, 50/50, but it’s still silly.
And then sometimes you get banned because one person on your server has an argument with one mod on another and the second mod decides to ban your whole instance as a result because he’s totally not butthurt.
It’s a little more transparent, but this place can be just as silly as reddit.

Well you could use the -arr stack but you could also just set up SABnzbd which is the same difficulty to set up as qbit/jackett.
I haven’t touched the -arrs myself, just go to my indexer, click download, it goes into the correct folder which sabnzbd automatically picks up and starts a-downloadin’, then it transfers the complete files to another folder.

Ahh I was afraid it might be. They make the only USBC magstripe reader in the world lol. I hate to resort to an a-to-c converter dongle and a traditional plug but that may be my fate.

Ah I presume that means your pc does not, and frankly I’m not sure that’d work even if it did lol.
Thanks anyway!

Oddly I agree, I’d have voted for either of those opposites as well. Though, I do agree with both of them on some things, and disagree with both of them on others.
Ideally I’d actually have them run together and temper each other’s views a little to land somewhere more reasonable, but no we have to pick from the two of the worst, most self serving people available instead.

- Comment on Ice obtains access to Israeli-made spyware that can hack phones and encrypted apps 5 weeks ago:
It looks like it says “yes if you haven’t updated grapheneOS since 2022” specifically, meaning they haven’t updated in 3y. No matter what phone is 3y out if date, I wouldn’t trust it either lol. It’s a cat and mouse game, the cat’ll for sure catch up within 3y.

No no, anytime someone criticizes a democrat it’s because they love Trump. The democrats are infallible and above reproach you see, so the only reason you’d say anything they ever did was bad it’s because you’re a nazi childkiller who wants a dictator.
It’s probably not dangerous at all that we’ve positioned the US as either “uncritical support of the dems or you’re a nazi,” letting a party become unquestionable is good for sure, nothing bad could ever come of that.
