  • On my laptop, I’ve switched to Linux since, despite being built in 2017, doesn’t meet Win 11’s min requirements. This is horseshit, I don’t care how MS explains it or justifies it, there’s nothing wrong with it. I’m sure during development, they realized a 20 year old computer could run Win 11 and decided to make up requirements to force people into buying new PCs.

    Anyway, I’m using KDE Neon and I’m loving its ease of use and simplicity. I have barely needed to dive into the terminal to fix anything and KDE Plasma feels very polished and user friendly. To me, it feels like the new “normie-friendly” Linux. And without the horseshit telemetry and Microsoft spying, it’s like a brand new PC.


  • Yeah, dedicated fingerprint readers were so nice. On-screen readers are slow, require you to look to align your finger, and unreliable since the thumb gets most of the abuse. Also, I usually have to press the power button when taking my phone out of my pocket to wake it up to bother to scan my thumb. Sometimes, I will be perfectly aligned on the reader and nothing happens… Until I pick up my finger and then it activates the reader and scolds me for moving my finger too fast. These are just neat tech demos, one step forward for the tech, but two steps back for functionality.

    I’m afraid we’ll never see separate fingerprint readers again since it puts the cost and manufacturing burden on the screen manufacturers.

    Not without rooting it or the manufacturer including a custom option for it, but if it has adaptive charging, you can set an alarm and it will charge the phone up to 80% and then wait to charge it the rest of the way to coincide with the alarm so that it isn’t at 100% for a long time.




  • Same! It is a miracle drug for sure! I am diabetic and obese and it has fixed me to where I eat normally. I feel that I eat as appropriately as a person of a healthy weight which has resulted in me losing 50 lbs since January. I was a person that was at 315 lbs, so you know I did a lot extracurricular eating. When I eat out now, I either order something really small or I’m able to eat half of it and have the other half for later… It’s like I’m getting my meals 50% off, lol!

    I hope that this drug can be of readily available for any obese person. There’s even evidence that it can help with other non-food related addictions too.


  • For me it was boredom and I felt good doing it. Semaglutide has changed that for me. Not only has it made it feel impossible to overeat, but it has enabled me to be able to avoid unnecessary eating in the first place. I still have the habit of opening the fridge and cabinets to see what’s there, but I feel a bit disgusted with the thought of eating unnecessarily. It wasn’t overnight. When I was put on the dose that I’m on now, I still tried to overeat out of habit but I ended up paying for it. I felt nauseous and was producing sour burps. Now I know when I’ve had enough. I’m saving a bunch of money on food because I eat normal portions now instead of obscene amounts and my blood sugar isn’t HFCS anymore 😆

    My hope is semaglutide can be readily accessible to anyone who is obese because I feel a cure has been found. Hell, there’s evidence that it may be helpful for other non-food related addictions too!

    After watching a YouTube video that detailed the situation and environment he was in (a horribly mismanaged overcrowded correctional facility), I think he did kill himself because he knew he was fucked and was going to live the rest of his life as far removed from the lifestyle he was accustomed to as possible. He had already tried to kill himself previously. The people watching him are among the staff that are over-worked and have to maintain order in an already overcrowded facility… yeah, there will be gaps in observing him.

    However, regardless of whether he killed himself or not, the rich are always keeping their best interests first at the expense of others. The real crime is that they’re killing us, just much slower.
