Subtex , to android in Buying a Pixel 7 Pro, install Custom ROM or stay on default?

Personally I stopped custom roms a while back. I’m not hardcore in the anti-google camp though.

If you are, obviously custom roms will be all you should be looking at. Tons of good recommendations in this thread already.

If you’re not in this camp though, the default pixel experience has been great for me and might be for you. I find it the least annoying of the oem experiences (not cluttered in features I’ll never use, simplified settings menu where I’ve never had to use the search on since it all made sense etc).

I’d say use the stock rom for a few weeks. If you hate it, custom roms are always there for you.

idealotus , to retrogaming in What are your favorite Nintendo 64 games?

I agree with most of these lists. I would add Banjo Kazooie! Just finished a replay of it (N64 version, not XBLA) and it mostly holds up.

Spat_U_Later , to retrogaming in What are your favorite Nintendo 64 games?

Superman: The New Superman Adventures (AKA Superman 64). It’s a baffling time capsule of poor management, crunched game development, and lack of coherent vision (mostly due to the management thing). Is flying through the rings tough? Yup. Do the missions make no sense? Yup. Is there a charm in firing it up and remembering to be grateful you’ve lived to yet another day where you can play Superman 64? Yup.

JohnDClay , to asklemmy in Need help picking out a heating solution for the winter.

If you pay for electricity, make sure you include an estimate for the electricity cost in your cost calculations. A resistive heater like choice b will be much cheaper to buy, but will be much more expensive over time. Heat pumps use about 3x less energy.

Goldeneye, OOT, Gauntlet Legends… Uh… Shit I know there’s more but those are the only three I can remember playing a lot.

Kaboom , to nostupidquestions in Why doesn't the American market provide efficient and effective health insurance like it does for car insurance?

You can get your own health insurance. Its called market place insurance. Most use their employers health insurance, but that option exists. And theres no “enrollment period”

fifbiff ,

Yeah but it’s way more expensive

Kaboom ,

Yes. With employment insurance, your employer pays a large chunk of it, its called benefits for a reason. Like 401k matching, if you dont use it, youre leaving money on the table

zbyte64 ,

They call it benefits because it’s marketing that works.

@elephantium@lemmy.world avatar

What would you call it? What’s your objection to the term “employee benefits”? You sound like you have an axe to grind, but I don’t get your angle.

zbyte64 ,

My angle is to paid the most. If we let the person we are negotiating with to define all the terms and conditions, then there is not much room to ask for more.

db2 ,

They definitely marketed effectively to you.

That’s not a good thing.

Kaboom ,

Do you not have a 401k? Or a Roth IRA? Are you at least paying into social security?

db2 ,

No, no, and yes until the so-called Republicans gut it and pocket the money.

You’re not speaking the same language here.

Kaboom ,

You really need to start saving for retirement, its never too early, and if you start late, it can still help

db2 ,

Unless you’re offering to pay for it I’m in the same boat as many others. I live check to check, there is no extra.

Kaboom ,

I really doubt you cant find ten bucks every pay period

zbyte64 ,

Imagine how much more money you’d make grinding your life away instead of hanging out here with us losers. Hell, you should be charging for your advice here, no need to give it away for free!

Kaboom ,

“You should save for retirement” isnt exactly ground breaking advice.

zbyte64 ,

Hey buddy, don’t be so hard on yourself. I’m sure you’ll find a better way to contribute.

cm0002 ,

Healthcare is a human right, it should have never been a benefit tied to employment.

Kaboom ,

Thats why Medicare and Medicaid exist

cm0002 ,

Those things are a joke, have you ever been on Medicare? It’s terrible and are still strangled by private insurances at every turn.

A few years ago, it was calculated that moving to a single-payer healthcare system and abolishing private healthcare would, at worst, increase an individuals tax to like <$1000/yr

I have a fairly decent employer provided insurance and even then it’s still 500+ a MONTH in just premiums. Before even factoring in other private insurance bullshit like copays and out of pockets and a myriad of other fees and gotchas, I’ll exceed that 1000 tax bill in like 2 months.

Even if you’re a selfish conservative asshole, it would save you so much money as well.

But sure, keep listening spouting the rich elite propaganda, you’re just a temporarily embarrassed billionaire after all.

F-Zero X is one I haven’t seen mentioned.

snooggums , to nostupidquestions in Why doesn't the American market provide efficient and effective health insurance like it does for car insurance?
@snooggums@midwest.social avatar

By tying insurance to employment (side effect of some economic policy) the option to shop around was removed. When people are already forced to use the insurance provided by employment so that they can afford it, there is no way for some other insurance agency to be competitive. Then it just got worse over the years.

The ACA attempting to make a competitive market was a half assed substitute for just going all in on single payer, but at least people with the jobs that don’t provide insurance have the possibility of affording it now so it is better. Just getting stabbed instead of being shot better.

I enjoy xenharmonic music and modern academic music the most, but I’m not familiar with everything there, so any recommendations are welcome if you, reader, have something in your mind.

I used this at v4.0, everything worked great for getting both lin and win 7 clients to play ball except the win7 machines would eventually keep claiming the machine key had expired. It was sooo irritating.
