Dumb question, but I’ve been using Lemmy for over as year and have been to piefed web interface. I still don’t know what mbin is or how piefed is different that Lemmy. What is the difference? Piefed just looked the same as Lemmy but with more material in a browser.

If the US wanted the war, then why are they fickle with Ukraine support? Also, why does Russia care what the Ukraine does. How is NATO bothering them? [Serious, am dumb]

Dumpster diving anyone? We should go work at one when they go under and go by our cars on way to dumpster.

They literally have boards with soldered RAM? Onto consumer RAM wafers? You mean like gold bonding or something? Like the whole wafer is used or are the RAM ICs tiny? I guess I never thought about it.
- Comment on The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it 3 days ago:
This is kind of stupid. We’re solvent. There are bases all over the world. Lots of resources to rape. Basically, this only means that BRIC countries make their own currency, people stop buying worthless US shit bonds, and the world economy slowly suffers as the US sucks the life out of everything to give Israel money for the death cult.
Eventually, a new currency arises, the world moves on, and the US becomes a huge isolationist North Korea with the Handmaid’s Tale going on.

When these AI companies eat shit, we can buy their stuff cheap. But maybe they’ll still be valuable with the shortage. Sigh.

I gave them.up in 2020. The measurable difference between them and AMD didn’t warrant the expenditures, and neither did Intel. Absolutely no issues since.

American here. Can someone start a go fund me for Iran, on the condition that participants are allowed to attend an exclusive event for the live tar and feathering of Zuck the Cuck and Peter Theil? We could probably raise more money than the tech bros have.

- Comment on Fairphone posted 83% year-on-year growth in Q4 2025 - A journey away from Big Tech to a more sustainable alternative 2 weeks ago:
The S22 busted, I got it fixed and still use it ocassionally for transactions. The S25 just stopped working after falling out of my pocket on the carpet, and it took hundreds of dollars to get the screen fixed. Even with a case and glass protector, it fell off a coffee table 3 days later and broke. Broke twice in about a week or two. I only bought it 6 months earlier because of tariffs in preparation for the S22 screen going out.
At this point I can fix the S25 and sell it, but have not done so yet. Now I have tools to fix phones and can try to make money from it when the economy gets worse, meaning that I’ll help repair so that people can decrease how often they buy. It’s a net good depending on what happens.

I went to Europe on 2007 or something and a pair of Levis were stupid expensive. They just make that shit up and create value out of bullshit. Levis have been $30 when they last raised minimum wage in The 90s. These prices make no sense.

What if you used ansible to automate it? One bit of trouble I have is forgetting stuff I did. If Yaml files store info, that seems easier. I even thought to created a script that logs all the events. I’ve never used it though.

It wasn’t a hardware preference, it was a privacy and control preference. Samsung is a data miner. I absolutely hate being locked out of my own shit. It doesn’t belong to you, but you’re renting their device and paying with data. I can see the calls home on my monitoring software, and now they have that MS linking SW that you can’t remove. I hate Samsung. Also, my S25 Ultra broke twice and I only got about 2 weeks use out of it total. Once, fell out of my pocket on carpet. Last, off coffee table and into floor. Those things are expensive and extremely fragile now.
Fairphone is honestly not a bad switch. It’s smaller than a flagship Samsung screen, but as ethically sourced as possible, modular so repairs are easy, open source software, privacy focused, has an ecosystem curated with care, and you can sideload all you want. I think I pay like $25 or $45 a month for unlimited everything with hotspot through the provider that supports it in the US. Also, there is no bloatware. It’s the absolute minimum needed for them to be a marketable solution in my opinion. My battery has never died. Sometimes it uses less that 10% a day. Samsung was a nightmare constantly draining. I could go on and on.

I have had this for 4 months and love it. Previously had Samsung 25 Ultra. Hated it.
Anyone know if the coming Android restrictions will impact support?
- Comment on Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store 2 weeks ago:
If you played first Horizon but thought the second was a boring version of the first, that’s how Ghost of Yotei was for me. Assassins Creed Valhalla too. It’s like everything is the same game.
The next game from the Returnal devs will be released soon. Now that is something that sounds exciting! Returnal was amazing! I hope the port to PC.

I’d hate for them to have to put thought into design instead of sucking every resource dry for another boring AAA grind with pretty landscapes.

I went there yesterday. The enshittificatiin is out of control. Instead of being able to sift through games, it’s all a bunch of predatory loot box-ish bullshit. Looks like it’s PC master race from here on out.

They have a “fair labor” agreement with China so that it is as ethically sourced as possible. People can’t just get anything somewhere else. They are at least trying.
