FCC proposes ending cellphone carrier locks after 60 days
  • This explains why I got a text from my carrier saying all phones now come unlocked. Guess they're preparing ahead of time. Mine was already unlocked, but still.

  • It's Friday - What are your plans for the week-end?
  • Taking naps. Watching Hong Kong/ Chinese action films.

  • 1 ep per week goes brrrrrrrrrr!
  • If I'm really into a show I am still able to pull a marathon like the days of old.

  • California to make financial literacy classes a requirement to graduate high school
  • My teacher in 2019 tried to convey this to us in economics class too. But to this day I still refuse.

  • [OC] My weird hand
  • I fucking love everything about this post

  • What's the most stupid trend (or fad) you participated in yourself?
  • lol, I'm one step ahead of you. I've moved on to a water bottle with stickers on it. I suppose I'm still participating in more trends than I thought.

  • What's the most stupid trend (or fad) you participated in yourself?
  • back in 2016(?) I was one of the people who had a yeti cup

  • Chrono Trigger (SNES 1995)
  • I love chrono trigger, though I'm pretty young so my first time playing it was the Nintendo DS version in 2017. That soundtrack too... I get such warm feelings when I hear it.

  • Anon is your financial advisor
  • not necessarily. some people get on unemployment and ride it out for years.

  • Pity, really.
  • I only learned to torrent because my dad used to when I was a kid. But these days I use XDCC instead because it's just so much more convenient. Though to be fair most of my friends who are also GenZ probably don't know how to do that either.

  • Anon gives back
  • I worked at a restaurant a couple of years ago and we would just take excess food home still.

  • which one do you prefer? having kids or no kids? and why??
  • I've known since I was young that I don't want any. This was only reinforced after I adopted a kitten last year, regretted it to the point of depression after about 2 months, and adopted him off to someone else who I trust. I realised I absolutely don't ever want that kind of responsibility again so a human life would be infinitely worse of an idea. this is on top of terrible genetic health issues that I wouldn't want to force onto another existence.

  • Happy Kia Summer Sale!!
  • instead of pride month, it's the kia summer sales event. I guess it's supposed to be a joke implying it's the only thing straight people have to celebrate this month.

  • Is there any way to allow for blocked mods to not appear in mod logs?
  • honestly I'm not sure. it looks empty for me too now that you mention it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  • Is there any way to allow for blocked mods to not appear in mod logs?
  • go to your userpage at the bottom, then in the top right corner of the userpage tap the three dots and there is a modlog button.

  • Here's what's happening to ad blockers in Google Chrome (and other browsers)
  • This finally made all my Chrome friends switch to the fox. about time

  • Do you recognise any usernames on Lemmy?
  • I recognise a lot of people on hexbear since most other instances defederate them. doesn't leave a lot of variety so it has that forum feel.

  • YouTube is experimenting with Notes, a crowdsourced feature that lets users add context to videos
  • I condone poisoning this feature with false info. maybe it will teach them that the dislikes should be public again. using an extension is cool and all, but so many people still don't know about it.

  • [OC] Hiking the Sierra Nevada

    Decided to put my phone on do not disturb and go see some nature on this Friday morning.

    9 years later, I finally played fallout 4

    Having dropped New Vegas in the past due to lost interest, I decided to try this game out finally since a friend of mine was having a fallout 3 playthrough himself. It was it 8 bucks, so I figured why not. I have to say, I put way more hours into this game than both other Bethesda games I've played through (Skyrim and Oblivion) before even finishing the main quest line. The combat was excellent in my opinion, and I (seem to be in the minority of people who) really liked the story. The choices it forces you to make sometimes really had me feeling emotional at times. I also played it with some minor mods installed, just some custom outfits and real world guns for immersion. Nothing to break the story or anything, though there are a few DLC sized mods I'm eyeing up to play in the future. Overall I seriously enjoyed this game, I've noticed online it seems to be regarded as one of the least popular mainline games but I think it's become my favourite Bethesda game I've tried so far honestly. Seriously recommend anyone who hasn't played this yet to at least give it a try. It really pulled me in.

    Edit: Since I'm done with F4, got New Vegas running with some nice mods to add gritty aesthetics and real world weapons. Giving it another try 6 years after I initially tried it and so far I'm way more into it!

    Edit 2: more specific context

    Worth noting: the warning originally had a direct mention that the attack was from a surveilling government, but they removed that part after being asked.

    Offline alternatives to Roku / Streaming boxes

    Hopefully this is the right kind of question for this community, my apologies if not.

    I'm looking for some sort of device that will let me load my own media from a USB / SD card, and play it to my TV. Does such a device exist? Some sort of remote controlled box that can just load mp4 / mkv files from locally hosted storage? I have been using my PC over HDMI but it can get annoying having an awkward room layout because my computer always has to be next to the TV to do this.

    Visiting my hometown and feeling a bit sad

    So about 2 years ago, I moved away. Broken spirit broken person, over 3000 miles. However, yesterday I landed for my first visit back here. And I just feel weird. Like I'm not supposed to be here or something, it's very ominous. I constantly feel anxious.

    The weirdest thing was seeing how my parents have started to age. And the woods where I used to hang out are all housing developments now. I'm currently sleeping on a mattress in my old room, aka the office now, surrounded by random shelving and printers and stuff. it's really a weird feeling in here too.

    I don't know what I expected but I definitely don't feel like I'm "home". It's like some weird alternate dimension version of home. There's still some people I'm yet to see and I wonder how that's gonna go. So far everything already feels uncomfortably different. Alongside that, the rose tint has also come off and I have a lot of bad memories going through my head too instead of any sort of nostalgia. Almost like the different person I was back then is still lurking here somewhere watching me.

    Anyone familiar with such a feeling, after being away for so long?

    Like you, I am a living person with memories, emotions, and interests. But from your perspective, I'm just another picture on a screen. Isn't that concerning?
