  • God damn it.

  • Google’s Pixel Leaves Little Room to Breathe for Sony Phones - Bloomberg
  • headphone jack, NFC, and microSD

    The holy trinity.

    I need to move on from my LG (RIP) G6 soon due to battery life and apps becoming unsupported so I've been shopping around.

    Right now I have a headphone jack, NFC, MicroSD, FM Radio and 4k video recording. I'll probably have to give up the radio at least if not more to get a well rounded phone.

    The G6 came out 7 years ago but it feels like most new phones are a downgrade in comparsion.

  • No more 12345: devices with weak passwords to be banned in UK
  • I've noticed routers in recent years have default passwords like "wristrhino040" printed on the sticker on the bottom. I suspect we'll see more of that.

  • Landlord Forced To Raise Rent Due To Thinking Of Bigger Number
  • Cheap living in blue states exists, ask me how I know.

  • Valve Updates Team Fortress 2 to 64-Bit, Boosting Performance of the 17-Year-Old FPS
  • Terry summed it up well.

    I still have fun with it, plenty of full servers to be found.

  • Work From Home
  • I just take 5,000 iu of vitamin D and skip the Sun business most days.

  • ‘The Wire’ Creator David Simon Rips Into Baltimore Bridge Conspiracists, Calls Marjorie Taylor Greene A “Complete Submoronic Pratfall Of A Human Being’
  • And you might still miss some things the first time but it makes rewatches even better. I rarely feel the desire to rewatch shows, even good ones, Deadwood is the exception.

    Hell even the set is amazing because the background extras took their roles so seriously, listening to the commentary tracks the lead actors noted that the background extras/actors developed their own routines and really made the camp come to life.

    It had more of a living history museum or renaissance fair vibe than that of a stale set. Everyone invovled with the project had passion for their role no matter how small.

  • Right, I think he had a lot more in the tank that we never got to see.

    For years I was upset that Deadwood never had a fourth season. When I learned more about Milch and listened to his recent memoir that came out in 2022 I was just glad those first 3 seasons made it to air.

    Many people don't survive all the drugs, family problems and a gambling addiction that he had going for him.

    It would be cool to see the alternative universe where the other frat member becomes president or the one where Deadwood doesn't get cancelled but this one could be a lot worse really.

  • BSG is a very different show but there might be some crossover between the fanbases. Deadwood is legacy HBO, the quality and depth of cast is on another level compared to what the scifi channel had at the time.

    It's also endlessly quotable, that's one thing I miss about reddit is the small /r/Deadwood sub. You'll see some general "cocksucka" quotes in the wild but that sub has multiple rewatches under their belt and uses the full range. I have to revist some posts there everytime I rewatch it.

    Anyway, here's one of my favorites from Wild Bill in S01E04: https://webm.red/view/cn5t.webm

  • Both shows are at the top but Deadwood's dialogue has a deliberate rhythm to it that is unmatched. If you get on it's wave length you're in for a treat. I watch it at least once a year and never grow tired of it.

    David Milch the creator details his thought process on the rhythm of the dialogue and the push back he got with use of obscenity here: https://youtu.be/F2qk7W8_KLE?si=LxeRNs2N_-kzKiGb&t=1196 (20:01) Once he's done answering that question (around 29:00) i'd stop watching if you haven't seen Deadwood as there are spoilers later in the talk.

  • Up near lake Superior we finally got our first big snow storm of the season, the birds were very busy at my feeders all day
  • I was happy to see the snow but I don't think the birds shared that sentiment.

    "Where's the damn bird seed?"

    "I know it's down there somewhere!"

  • Baltimore bridge collapses into river after being hit by cargo ship
  • Thank your ancestors for that. Couldn't think up any new names on their way over so they resused a bunch.

  • The struggle is real
  • Good god Lemon.

  • “Disabling cyberattacks” are hitting critical US water systems, White House warns
  • Because idiots are in charge of more things than you'd think.

  • When viewing Lemmy, do you view "all" or your subscribed communities?
  • All top 12 hour. Subscriptions? Never heard of her.

  • Gumroad no longer allows most NSFW art, leaving its adult creators panicked
  • Having to find an ATM to be able to complete a transaction

    Much like cash an ATM isn't needed by a lot of people as they bank online and use cards. Crypto has all those options as well.

    Point is here you either adapt or have to find a new job because old payment processors won't let you sell your Giraffe bukkake art. It is what it is.

  • Gumroad no longer allows most NSFW art, leaving its adult creators panicked
  • I didn't "sell it for cash" I paid my VPS hosting bills with it. It's simple for business to accept crypto these days, couple clicks and they're set up.

    If your business is making NSFW art than you better be willing to adapt.

  • Gumroad no longer allows most NSFW art, leaving its adult creators panicked
  • Is it? The ATMs have been all over the place for half a decade at this point.

    As for fees it cost me 3 cents to send a $50 Litecoin transaction a few days ago. If I did that with Bitcoin it would have cost me $8 in transaction fees so you're right there.

    Now days there's a coin for every purpose.

    • Bitcoin = gold bars

    • Litecoin = mundane transactions

    • Monero = digital cash

    Crypto has been around for 15 years already. Time flys.
