US owner of an EU Fairphone 4. It is functionally locked to T-mobile due to AT&T not wanting unlocked devices on their network and the 5G bands dont always line up correctly so calls while driving are tricky. Beyond that, I love the device and can do that cool party trick where you can take out your battery and everyone stares in awe at my organic, free-range smart phone. (That part is a lie, I dont go to parties).

Joking asside, I like having an attempt at an ethically sourced phone, even though it is a finicky device. There is a US redistributor and they sell a model with region appropriate changes and a de-googled cloud backup service, but im not in the market for replacing this thing yet.

Well duh, it hits their bottom line now when mods black-out major subs in protest.

But yall already know that…

I would love that, I dont think the movie is terrible, its just that everything after Ford and Arthur get thrown out the airlock isnt as funny or absurd as the books. The main issue is the first 2ish books are unadaptable because there is no central conflict (or arleast the main cast dosent care or know there was supposed to be one).

Zaphod is the only person with motivation to do anything other than to continue existing, and he is unaware (or dosen’t care) he is being hunted until they meet those suprisingly progessive law enforcment officers on Magrathea and when he visits the guides publishing offices.

I play EvE online and have done the whole player/corp/guild managment thing and we had a phrase.

“The game has 4 currencies Time, Money, Content and Trust. You can buy 3 of them”

In your context, times currency is a represention of existing. If you choose to spend it wisely is up to you. And we’re out here shooting the shit on Lemmy… so… Yah…

How many of yall read this entire thread and were disapointed or glad you didnt find your own name.

Still need to watch the BBC show, would yall say that is worth seeking out?

Pop_OS for the main PC, Ubuntu for the laptop and Debian for all the servers (lots of pis). There are 2 PCs left that run windows 10, one is the media rig and the other was an AMD APU that lived in a briefcase as part of a “totally not laptop” thing I built. Its a slow process to fully migrate away from windows, but so far im managing.

Sorry, Im more of a Face Off guy.

Thats the funny part, they dont.

We need to bring in experts on this matter. Someone summon Guy Fieri.

RADICAL SANDWICH ANARCHY!!!

TOASTER STRUDEL IS A SANDWICH!!!

Yes.

Oh just call the TST for this one, even the constitutional literalists cant weasel their way out of that one.

Classic Onion.

What is your favorite color?

Entirely fair question and thanks for expanding, bit personal for online nobodys like us. Sorry if I came off as accusitory.

Taxes alone is a valid reason. So long as there are social, financial and legal benifits to the institution then there is no argument to have. If you feel that love or religion is a requirment that I feel your concept of marraige is outdated.

Oh, that one was a blast! I need to get my nerd herd to revisit it… Although all we did was play liars dice while the ship was on fire.

Exactly this, back in the 1900s your scope was much more limited. Before radio, it was the range of the farthest newspaper. Before the Internet, it was the range of the phone networks. Now we have filled in most corners of the map, you can read resturant menus in Tokyo, place bets on teams playing in Mexico City, and all while sitting in your flat in Dublin. The world has always been a shitty place, its just much easier to be aware of it.

You buy less stupid shit because you have to carry it. Also never skip leg day.
