I didn’t think it could be worse… I just bought one Dell mini PC and I will turn it into server and I will start self host a lot of my services. Audiobookshelf is going to be one of them
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 1 week ago:
15 hours of audiobooks per month is a joke. That’s not even one longer book.

Stick like that you can find on every third tree. I have never seen stone like that, definitely not IRL.
- Comment on That time when Microsoft bought and killed Nokia phone unit 1 week ago:
I read some articles in the past that before was Nokia bought they worked on some new os. Idk if it was based on android, but I think it might have been Linux. I don’t remember. Microsoft, after the purchase, of course flushed it.
- Comment on Motherboard makers apparently to blame for high-end Intel Core i9 CPU failures | Ars Technica 2 weeks ago:
Hardware Unboxed recently made a video and said that intel is mostly to blame, because they don’t have clearly defined defaults, because they want motherboards to “overclock” CPUs because it looks good on benchmarks.

I thought I was the only one who cuts onion with goggles. If I only need one onion I don’t need them if I am quick enough, but if I need more than that, I always whip out swimming goggles.

I see no problem with this? Makes sense.
- Comment on Tekken 8 players divided as devs add “Tekken Shop” with microtransactions 2 months ago:
What do you mean “new shitty norm”? Companies have been doing that for years already. First time I saw it around 2017 I think. I not sure about the game, but I think it was Call of Duty.

- Comment on As requested 2 months ago:
I saw this and even the previous post, but still don’t know what this is about. Can somebody explain for a person not living in freedom land? What did she do at that football game, super something? Does she use planes even for very short flights or something?

I voted for him and I didnt know about this ai audio. Primary social media in Slovakia is FB and I stopped using that like 8 years ago, that’s probably why.
- Comment on How will I find financial stability if I live in a third world country with a toxic sociopathic/narcissistic mother, I have no skills (at least I think so), no time and therefore no money? 3 months ago:
Since I was a kid, I was always told that English is one of the easiest languages to learn. I learned it primarily from movies, shows and videogames. School wasn’t very helpful in that regard. My usage of the language is almost exclusively for listening and reading, I speak in it very sparsely. Nobody in my vicinity uses it. So I wouldn’t consider myself to be fluent because I have no idea how my conversation with native speaker would go. If I catch myself, I try to think in it every chance I get.

Signal? microG works great for push notifications
- Comment on Samsung sets Galaxy S24 launch for Jan. 17; here’s what to expect 4 months ago:
I had android 13 on S5, I wont say it was smooth, but it was more than usable. I replaced it mostly because 2GB off RAM was starting to get on my nerves. I couldn’t have more than 2 apps open without it putting to sleep the previous one. Multitasking was not very good on such a old phone.
I cant imagine what could be wrong on 3 year old phone. If it is not broken just install LineageOS on it and you should be good to go.
- Comment on Samsung sets Galaxy S24 launch for Jan. 17; here’s what to expect 4 months ago:
Do you need it though? 3 years isn’t that long for a phone. 3 months ago I replaced my Samsung Galaxy S5 from 2014 for Fairphone 4, which I will keep to 2032+

- Comment on Xbox in talks with partners to launch a mobile gaming store 5 months ago:
If it will be on Google Play, it’s kind of useless. And if people need to side-load it, I don’t see a lot of people using it.

- Comment on Why OLED monitor burn-in isn’t a huge problem anymore 6 months ago:
I will not use oled monitors with desktop pc. With my usage, I would have burn in in 2 years if not sooner. Not counting that, I would still have that thought in my mind, that if I use it more, I will get burn in, and anytime I’m leaving the pc, only for a minute, I should turn it off. I like good contrast and blacks, so my next monitor will probably be good VA with local dimming.
