Brains do weird shit when you’re not around. Try not to dwell on it.

This is true, but anecdotally it happens quicker with some words than others.

Hospitality worker here. Working weekends means less time to socialise with friends who are on a M-F schedule and less opportunity to attend events in general because they’re usually scheduled on weekends. You’ll have to put more effort into staying in touch with people and finding things to do on your days off.

With a little fucking around I’m fairly sure you could do it on the phone itself via termux.

Core 2 Duo.

Uhh… Did nobody check with Intel about this?

There’s a repo for it maintained by ghost, but you have to do the install and setup yourself. Can’t vouch for reliability, never used it.

Pretty sure if you self host your own ghost install it’s already available.

I have a terrible feeling it’s a compromised webcam.

I suspect that’s kind of the point, or at least works in their favour. If you don’t know about it, you’re probably pretty new here and therefore a better candidate for a victim.

Saw it coming but I didn’t think it’d be that quick.

Yes, fuck Amazon and Bezos. No argument there. But this also helps people who have previously paid for content to break out of Amazon lock-in while keeping what they’ve paid for. You don’t have to buy new stuff, but this means you can keep the old stuff.

Wonder how long we’ll have to wait for the PC port.

Behind!

If you’ve worked in hospitality, you know.

Subdermal armour. Like a flexible, slash-resistant, heatproof mesh under the skin. I work in a kitchen so it’d be nice to be able to ignore those pesky little nicks and burns.

I definitely relate to that. I spent a good chunk of my formative years just hanging out at the mall after school with my friends, sitting on the outdoor balcony with ridiculous coffees, openly smoking although we were underage, and just shooting the shit. Maybe we’d have hit up the music store beforehand and we’d chat about what we’d bought, read the liner notes and talk about the artwork. I miss music stores too, but I think a lot of people my age do. The mall used to be somewhere you could just hang out. I don’t know what’s changed, maybe it’s me. In my area they seem to be as busy as ever, but they all seem so sterile and hyper-optimised now, even though the floorplans are still the same as they were decades ago.

Me, I miss the proliferation of arcade video game cabinets. I miss arcades too, but I don’t think that’s out of the ordinary for old nerds. Going to them for a lock-in session was always a fun event, even by myself. Also having one at nearly every mall and being able to just go there and drop a few bucks and kill half an hour while you wait for a bus. What I really miss though, are the machines they’d just have randomly in places; corner stores, video rental places, restaurants, bowling alleys. We’d spend entire days riding around, scouting out new places for good games, which place had the cheapest Street Fighter 2, discovering weird obscure import titles no one had ever heard of. Of course now if I have a few minutes to kill I can game on my phone, but it’s such a non-event. Arcade cabinets were special, they had -presence-. When you found a good one you kept that location burned into your brain, told only your closest friends, and when they removed or changed it, it was such a tragedy.

non-cloud based approach…

You’re using cloud based storage

Pick one.

What is OneDrive if not cloud-based?

It’s still shitty because they ship with a 3.5mm -> 3.5mm cable (literally straight through, no inline silicon) that’s billed as replaceable. It is, but only with -their- cable. It’s a way of making a standard connection proprietary.
