Tangara is a portable, open-source music player based on an ESP32 MCU
  • One of my first "hacking" a device was putting Rockbox on a 4 gb Samsung MP3 player in 2010. This device wasn't meant to play/watch videos, but Rockbox unlocked that capability. It had a tiny screen, but still.

  • Netflix: Piracy is Difficult to Compete Against and Growing Rapidly
  • 2015 - 2018 I pirated very, very little. Didn't need to. Between Netflix, Hulu, and HBO, I wanted for nothing. Then, every time I went to the bathroom, someone was creating their own streaming service. Suddenly everyone was pulling their IP from Netflix and Hulu. Netflix wouldn't stop raising their prices. Their original shows are ok, but their movies are terrible.

  • Reddit Advised to Target at Least $5 Billion Valuation in IPO
  • There's very little quality on Lemmy. It lacks diversity. It's quite authoritarian left. Tankies under every rock. Even in non-politics communities. I still use a forked version of Boost to lurk reddit. But as someone else said, if never recommend Lemmy to anyone I actually know.

  • Right-Wingers Say Super Bowl Is Rigged So Taylor Swift Can Endorse Biden
  • "Right wingers"? Who? Some former presidential hopeful and some lady named Laura? We need to set a number when some "journalist" says a group of people are saying/doing something. 40, 50 people. I don't know. A few turds on Twitter hardly qualifies. Election season is certainly heating up.

  • Eat Sht Ron!
  • Well that was awfully short. He could have made a legit run against Trump, but his campaign was horribly managed, and early on he rode the culture war stuff too hard. Oh well. Four more years of orange man coming at us I guess.

  • Voting is changing the Oil to keep the engine running
  • I'm allowed to respond with sarcasm. Mostly because I don't take your fear mongering seriously. But as a courtesy:

    There won't be any stacking the courts. Stop it. Just like Biden was suppose to stack the courts. It was bullshit then, it's bullshit now. But feel free to call gotcha on me if Trump wins and stacks.

    What happens in a few states isn't relevant to a "nationwide" ban. Trump is barely a conservative (he was a Democrat for much of his life). Abortion is a losing issue for moderates and left leaning conservatives. Many are in favor of some type of abortion (12 weeks, 15 weeks, etc..). Any conservative would be a fool to campaign on a federal ban on abortion.

    Honestly I don't care to argue immigration much. It's not a issue in my state.

  • Boomers won’t part with their homes, and that’s a problem for young families
  • Right? Modern medicine is keeping people alive longer, and I'm not going to judge someone for wanting to keep the home they've probably lived in for many years.

    I don't rent, but from what I read it's out of control, and corporations buying up homes, putting in the bare minimum to fix up (read: lazy/cheap contractors) and asking way more than it's worth. Now, of course you don't have to pay it, but if everyone is asking overprice, what are people suppose to do?

  • Voting is changing the Oil to keep the engine running
  • Bruh. Before 2022 I had bodily autonomy

    If you're referring to the lack of roe v wade, that was the supreme court, not the president, and I'm not aware of any current justices planning to retiring in the next four years. It's now a states rights issue. Support the state level candidate who is inline with your views.

    Trans people could receive their medications with a semblance of reliability.

    With few exceptions, "trans" adults can do whatever they want. Assuming they're an American citizen, they have the exact same rights as you and I.

    Immigrants weren't being bussed around the country against their will.

    You're right. They were piling up in border states and no one gave a shit until they started getting bussed around.

    We have gone way more right, way faster, than I think anyone could have foreseen.

    These issues are far more complicated than you would pretend.
