If everyone opens the map, sees the blank space, then walks away, no one will start.
I’ll be willing to start, and hopefully others will join.

I’m 100% OK with it being opt-in. If there is at least 1 in my state, I’ll bite

Is there a map that shows where are using them? It looks like a fun idea, but I don’t want to get something and no one is using it in my region. (Outback Australia)

I like the idea of you bringing your record player and records into the shower with you. (Is there a community here simmalar to vinyljerk?)

Was this game from Webkinz? I 100% saw my sister play this… (maybe even I played it)
- Comment on Do you think Google execs keep a secret un-enshittified version of their search engine and LLM? 2 weeks ago:
I saw a cool video here once. Typed the EXACT title to YouTube (including caps in the right words) and it didn’t show up. Only the big channels around that topic.
Personal rant that is still related, but not needed
Hell, I play trackmania turbo. Its still getting new videos from the community. 3-5 vidoes a week. Look it up, and some of the first results are a non-turbo player uploading 1 video 4 years ago. But since that channel is getting millions of videos, THAT video is promoted, not the fans still playing now.
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 2 weeks ago:
If I want to watch 10 minutes of funny shorts/tik toks, do I
a) open my feed, where I have a chance to find not funny content, and have to physically swipe for every video? Plus laughing alone is not as fun as laughing with someone else
Or
b) watch sniper-ali-freerobuckz watch the good ones, and I can sit back and enjoy someone to laugh with?
I’m not defending reaction content. They are obviously lazy and just copy-pasting for easy views, but I can see why they get clicks.
- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege ravaged by massive server breach that gave its players billions of paid currency for free 3 weeks ago:
I stopped when they added more hard breach operators, and then a secondary hard breach gadget (and I think an emp grenade too now?). I remember seeing IQ with a hard breach gadget. So a 3 speed, fast gun, can now hard breach? Anyone can do anything now.
- Comment on A belated Christmas gift to R6 Siege! 3 weeks ago:
Hmmmm a youtuber I watched just said ‘the hackers messed with players accounts’ and ‘dont worry, ubisoft will fix it soon’.
If this post is true, and the hackers tried to be Robin Hood here, then I think that YouTube account isn’t as unbiased as I thought. (I haven’t played since Ace joined)

Books or movies? Book year 5
just in case anyone still interested
had Umbridge/minstery of magic come in to get rid of Hagrid. McGonagall I think even got injured fighting back.
As I’m typing this out, I’m suddenly remembered of Um, Actually, and how this could have been a good question for the show
- Comment on The Worst Thing About the RAM Shortage That Nobody’s Talking About 4 weeks ago:
Fuck it (alcohol talking now, but I’m confident I won’t regret this tomorrow)
Me: “I run Linux on my machine” Them: " Don’t run Linux. A good antivirus is all you need… Blah blah blah" Me (arguing in the shower that evening): “well, I think Microsoft is the virus. What do you think about that?”
Its been 2 years since that day. We still on speaking terms, even though we on 3 different fields of the PC Spectrum. Even though every time I walk past their cubical, I think back to that lunch time conversation, and what I could of said…
- Comment on The Worst Thing About the RAM Shortage That Nobody’s Talking About 4 weeks ago:
Prebuilt PCs still allow you to change the OS.
(100%, this is only my work place) but the most Tech compitant person at work is ‘I have 3 monitors on my home machine’ and my least compicant coworker is ‘I don’t think I have a desktop’ (they asked me to save their phone pictures. Me: Let’s copy and paste everything to the desktop for now. We can fix that later. Them: ‘I don’t think I have a desktop’…
Yes, i know copy and paste to desktop is a temporary solution at best, but at least 1/4 of my workmates is at THAT level of computer literacy.)
If I had to start talking about copilot and Microsoft recall, it will fully over their heads)
- Comment on The Worst Thing About the RAM Shortage That Nobody’s Talking About 4 weeks ago:
My tin foil hat theory is; RAM and Storage prices go up, -> cheaper to buy pre-built computers vs build-your-own computers, -> More people buy pre-built systems -> more people tied to a default OS and software.
In My Opinion, building your own system forces you to realise that the computer and the OS are 2 different things. If more people build vs buy, then more people will realise they don’t need microsoft to use their own hardware that they own.

- Comment on How Lemmy users feel when they delete their Reddit account 1 month ago:
I remember deleting my account around when they introduced their recap things. I don’t want to know where I posted/commented/viewed a lot. And I DEFINITELY don’t want the app tracking all that.
