  I think it is tricky to contain, being so small, that storage is a big part of why it’s too expensive.

  A standardized magnetic pogo pin connector

  That’s something I hadn’t considered before. What a neat idea.

  A lot overboard, really. There is a long way to go for truth and reconciliation.

  As for data safety, its not looking too great: tuta.com/blog/canada-bill-c2-surveillance

  Can you see the stars well?

  I was bracing myself for some level of absurdity after this disclaimer.

  Instead it seemed to be pretty reasonably complicated. They didn’t flash some custom firmware or even mess with the hardware at all.

  Sure, it is complicated, but in terms of hacks it seems to be par for the course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨High quality sticker though⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh.

  hanging brain

  The act of pulling one’s scrotum (testicles included) through the opening in one’s pants or shorts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨High quality sticker though⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah this makes sense; the hanging brain, as opposed to the brain safety stowed away inside ones skull.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨High quality sticker though⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I don’t really get it? I see the cock and balls but the euphemism goes over my head

  Is that not what is funding the invention of these features though?

  Theres usually at least some support for connecting game console controllers. That might be an option alongside kdeconnect for the games. I think ps4/xbox one and later both work out of the box over bluetooth. Not sure how it would work in firefox though.

  What applications are you using?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Belkin is ending support for nearly all its Wemo smart home devices⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Around here most folks don’t seem to imply their partners are not good with tech, just that they aren’t excited about a reduced reliability of their home. Maybe this is more of a trope in other online spades. This commenter seems to respect that most people expect the basic functions of their house to work reliably.

  “family acceptance factor” “spouse acceptance factor” “I will consider how others feel and how I might affect them”

  I think it’s important to be careful around how you refer to your partner, especially if they are of a marginalized group. I just don’t think this commenter was being disrespectful.

  That’s what I have. I just get irritation using it, likely a skill issue, but I do have sensitive skin.
