andyMFK,

FYI you can install replacement launches that get rid of these ads

andyMFK,

Top .05% of bicep listeners. 3.2M monthly listeners.

I listen to bicep when running

andyMFK,

agree with you about having options, but swap it around. have copy without trackers be “copy link”, and then have an option “copy link with trackers”

andyMFK,

A joke you didn’t understand. If you didn’t find it funny you would have simply scrolled past without the need to leave a comment

andyMFK,

I mean, it’s weird to encourage people not to increase their physical activity if they’re trying to manage their weight.

While it’s true you can’t out-train a bad diet, exercising, even for just 30 minutes every other day will go a long. Running a 5k will take about half an hour depending on your fitness level and will burn a good 350 calories or so, more if you’re overweight. Do that 3 times a week and that’s the equivalent of a about 2 meals you’ve burnt off (or one really unhealthy meal). Plus getting outside and exercising is good for your mental health.

andyMFK,

I’ve been there, but you can definitely find hobbies that cost nothing.

Hiking/walking/running is free and good for your mental and physical health (although if you dont have appropriate footwear, I’d stick to walking).

Music production is free (if you already own a computer) with free DAWs and free plugins. This is a great way to be creative, learning music theory is also free but not super necessary

Writing is free, this can include fiction, as well as journaling. I enjoy journaling but

Software hacking is free with ghidra and x64dbg, I’ve been working through crackers, which are pieces of software written specifically to be cracked.

Programming is free and the resources to learn programming are free. If you have no experience python is super easy to jump into.

3D modelling is fun to learn and again, free. Fusion360 will give you a free license for personal use, or there are other free options. I learnt this to 3D custom designs, and your local library probably has a 3D printer to use if you want to go that route.

Your city almost certainly has a free art gallery, I love spending days at the art gallery with headphones listening to beautiful music and looking at beautiful art.

Cooking can be a fun hobby, and although not free, it’s money you were hopefully going to spend anyway, it can be fun to find new recipes and try them. And if you plan correctly and buy in bulk, you can save money this way.

Contribute to open street maps, this is free and helps the community.

Of course the more fun hobbies, and more traditional hobbies do cost money, and can get very expensive very quickly so I do understand your frustration, but finding free cheap hobbies was key to getting out of my depression and I urge you to find something, these suggestions may not be right for you but it just shows there are options

andyMFK,

It makes more sense if you change the ‘no’ to a ‘not’, at least for me.

andyMFK,

It’s pretty self moderating. Every 5 years or so there’s a game i might be mildly interested in, play it for a few hours until I’m bored of it. Rinse and repeat

andyMFK,

Automotive filler primer will smooth those layer lines, a couple of good coats then sand it back with a high-ish grit (about 240 or so) will get it beautifully smooth with relatively little effort.

andyMFK,

No and no

andyMFK,

What an incredibly bad and ignorant take. If you can make more money flipping burgers, trades will have no choice but to raise their wages to compete. Or, quit your job and go flip burgers if that’s a better deal.

Fast food places are so fundamental as a stepping stone to building a career and to say only children who are exploited should be working there only says you are ok exploiting children.

If someone is working to serve you your food, they deserve a living wage.

andyMFK,

Probably 80% of the time

andyMFK,

I have no idea what I’m gonna do when my LG eventually dies. I went from the v30 to the v40 and now the v50. Not a single phone on the market offers what I want in a phone anymore

andyMFK,

there are many apps that will let you do this. I use an app called IP Webcam

What is your contingency for when the ISP goes down?

In my ever-ongoing struggle to disentangle myself and my family from our corporate overlords I have gleefully dived into self-hosting and have a little intranet oasis available; media, passwords, backups, files, notes, contacts, calendars – basically everything I needed the Big G suite for at one point, I’m hosting locally,...

andyMFK,

The guy gave you a very valid answer. You asked what people do when the Internet goes out, not how they access passwords. No need to be rude

andyMFK,

I feel like my Garmin could probably survive being run over by a car

andyMFK,

it’s not a redundant component at all. USB-C doesn’t carry analogue audio. You need an external DAC to convert that digital signal to analogue to make it usable. You can’t plug your headphones into a USB-C port.

andyMFK,

How is buying a dongle you shouldn’t need better for the planet than a phone manufacturer providing a headphone jack??? The phone already has a DAC in it, they literally only need to include the actual port

almost everyone I see in public transportation use wireless earbuds. Usually I look like the odd one out for wearing wired earphones.

your sample is incredibly biased, you’re taking 1 demographic and assuming everyone acts like that. Go into a recording studio and see how many wireless headphones they use, Go to a concert and see how they are driving their speakers. Just because a lot of consumers use wireless earphones in an environment that doesn’t lend itself to good audio (like public transport), doesn’t mean most people are using it.

andyMFK,

It’s not hard. It’s wasteful and unnecessary. It means you can’t charge your phone and listen to music at the same time. There are no advantages to removing the headphone jack

andyMFK,

You haven’t provided a single good reason. Why are you fighting this so hard? Samsung isn’t gonna kiss you.

andyMFK, (edited )

…to plug headphones in. How is this a genuine question?

People still use their phones to listen to music and wireless earphones are almost universally garbage, require charging, and produce insane amounts of e-waste. Wired headphones don’t have these issues

andyMFK,

Amazon. Fuck Amazon.

Is it wrong to pirate movies I've purchased digitally and load onto my Plex server?

Just would like to have a discussion on the topic. I’ve purchased around 20ish movies/shows on Vudu, and my wife has grown to be unhappy with Vudu’s UI and especially how the watch progress works. I am curious what some others thoughts on this are. My initial thoughts are I recognize I’ve purchased a license to watch the...

andyMFK,

Because you’ve purchased the movies ya dingus

andyMFK,

It’s a reference to the movie Don’t Look Up. Not sure what EU is.

andyMFK,

You should get another quote, we have a decent sized 8kw array with a fronius inverter and smart meter that we had installed for $8000AUD.

Unless you’re getting an insanely large array, I don’t see this price being worth it. You’re likely not gonna save $25K over the lifespan of the array. Unless you live in a country with extraordinarily expensive power

andyMFK,

Just picked this up on vinyl. One of my all time favorite albums

andyMFK,

The YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips is a very large part of the tech space, reviewing, and making videos about technology. This is actually bigger than that as it speaks to Linus media group, of which Linus tech tips is one of many tech related channels.

andyMFK,

You think selling something that isn’t yours, after you told the owner you would return it, is drama for the sake of drama?

andyMFK,

That’s why I hate money and the setup of the world, is plain satanic if you ask me.

Don’t drag satan into this, the world is overwhelmingly more christian than satanic.

andyMFK,

Didn’t notice the .nz domain name I see

andyMFK,

Short for utility vehicle. Basically anything with a cabin, and some sort of bed or tray at the back.

andyMFK,

you have great taste don’t let anyone tell you otherwise

andyMFK,

There’s a pretty distinct difference between eating eggs, and egg being an ingredient

andyMFK,

It’s gotta be ketamine

andyMFK,

Not with that attitude

Phones should have 2 USB C ports

One should be at the bottom one at the top. I understand space on the phone is a premium but a second port would make the phone so much more usable. Wired headphones, flash drives, camera modules, speaker modules, keyboards, even connection to a TV, all could be used while charging. It’s a shame it’s not a thing, USB is...

andyMFK,

Weird headphones don’t use ucb-c, there is already a standard for headphones and it’s the 3.5mm audio jack.

andyMFK,

Not sure what exactly you mean by headset. But headphones and IEMs will use a 3.5mm or 1/4" jack. My sennheisers use it, my beyerdynamics use it, my audio Technicas use it. Even my KZ IEMs and moondrop IEMs use it. This is a universal standard for a reason.

And not sure what the data rate has to do with anything. It’s an audio connector, it’s not used to transfer data, it’s used to move the drivers in a set of headphones. As usb-c doesn’t output line level audio, any headset you have that uses it needs its own DAC and amp which is problematic for e-waste reasons.

andyMFK,

I’ve never understood exactly what people get out of Twitter, and don’t understand why you’d need an alternative? Why not just use Lemmy as your alternative?

People sticking with audio jack phones, why is USB-C earphones not a solution?

Don’t get me wrong. Apple removing audio jack was the biggest facepalm in smartphone history. And you can thank it for not being able to make an upgrade without sacrificing audio jack (and SD card too :/). But USB-C is getting standardized everywhere now (laptops, smartphones, etc.). What makes USB-C earphones not worth the...

andyMFK,

you are aware that other people live different lives to you, and do things differently right? I listen to music to fall asleep, and I plug my phone into my car via the 3.5mm jack to listen to music. You ask how often it would be a problem? It would be a problem every single day

andyMFK,

Why would I use other platforms?

andyMFK,

Is it vegan? Or is it chicken? Looks delicious either way

andyMFK,

If nobody had kids and the human race died out, earth could repair itself. The only reason earth is so fucked is because of the humans.

You not having kids is literally the best thing you could possibly do for the planet

andyMFK,

“pretty small”, it’s like 2 Canada’s.

andyMFK,

Everything in moderation. Have pizza, but limit yourself to 2 slices, have a big delicious salad with it (no creamy dressing). Small treats like this is what makes a diet sustainable.

andyMFK,

I started running to lose some weight recently. And I genuinely enjoy it.

It’s alone time, time to think, or listen to an album or podcast and just be alone.

I enjoy the progress I’m seeing. Every week I can run further than I could the last week, every week gets easier and faster, and beating my pb is a real endorphin rush. Every week I weigh less than I did the previous week.

I enjoy feeling proud of myself. It would be so easy to sit on the couch and watch Netflix. Or play a silly little video game. And that’s what most people do. I enjoy not being most people. I enjoy putting in the work to better myself.

I enjoy pushing myself. When my legs burn and I don’t think I can run anymore, but I push through that and run another kilometer. the runners high is real. Not comparable to a fun drug, but still feels good.

So yeah, I’m not a fitness guy, but working out definitely has it’s place and can be enjoyable

andyMFK,

these platforms have the know how to deal with spam and they will be incentivised to share that tech with other federated instances.

Based on what? These private companies aren’t going to share anything because they owe it to their shareholders not to.

I dont think any of your points are wrong, it’s just the association with Facebook people are anti. The fediverse has a great reputation for being completely removed from profit motive driven mega corporations. Facebook joining is gonna make people question the fediverse is my understanding.

andyMFK,

As an adult I’m only gaining more and more friends tbh. Sure some old ones are lost but a partner is no replacement for a few good friendship circles. If you’re putting all your social needs on one person, that’s a lot of pressure and they are unlikely to be able to fulfill that role, nor are you for them.

Your partner can be your best friend, but they shouldn’t be your only friend

andyMFK,

There was the guy that wanted to know how to go 3 days without pooping
