You’re doing it wrong! Nothing better than getting paid to poop!

What, you don’t think he poops too?

I remember walking around Blockbuster and stumbling into what seems to be buddy cop movie starring him and Jay Leno

IMDb: : Collision Course www.imdb.com/title/tt0097081/

Was never brave enough to watch it

eeltech ,

Great, but why is 6’s name Sharon? lol

eeltech ,

Nowadays its all about monetization :/

Lemmy is kinda refreshing and reminds me a lot of the early internet/reddit.

eeltech ,

But do you remember YTMND? Like can you imagine trying to explain those memes to the kids online these days?

I’m their prime demographic, currently car shopping to replace my wrecked Benz, and was leaning towards a Model 3 up until reading this headline lol. I guess I could still charge at home or if the network fails it could be purchased by another company?

Or I just avoid stressing about it altogether and get a normal car

eeltech ,

Yeah, charging is the main reason I skipped a Tesla 4-5 yrs ago and went for the Benz. Thought chargers were getting more ubiquitous and available enough for me to give it a shot this time around, but all these Tesla layoffs got me second-guessing that

eeltech ,

I highly recommend watching The Territory: www.imdb.com/title/tt16378164/

Its a documentary following one of these indigenous tribes and the shit they have to go through in keeping their autonomy. Like its one thing for the government to say a certain land is theirs, but what are they supposed to do if a logging company starts cutting down their trees and the local law enforcement doesn’t care?

eeltech ,

That must make some ultra indulgent ice cream

It wasn’t just luck, the eclipse itself has a tendency to clear out clouds:

Was similar here in Austin - sky has been hazy/cloudy most of the day including the partial eclipse - and then conveniently cleared up for a few minutes exactly around the time of the totality

I’m appalled by the fact that Google News is promoting garbage AI-generated articles that plagiarize and distort the original work of journalists. This is not only unethical, but also harmful to the quality and credibility of news. Google should have stricter standards and filters for what qualifies as news, and not just rely on algorithms that can be easily manipulated by spammers. I want to read authentic and original stories that are well-researched and verified, not some AI nonsense that is full of errors and nonsense. Google News is supposed to be a trusted source of information, not a platform for spreading misinformation and propaganda.

A combination of:

  • I was very curious about computing and trying different applications
  • I liked customizing and tinkering with my setup: Launcher, window manager, icons, etc.
  • I was a poor teenager

On the windows side, there were neat apps like Stardock Windowblinds, for the most part, everything was paid and expensive for someone with no disposable income.

Mind was blown when I realized everything I wanted was available for free! My first install was actually from a CD that came with a book I checked out from the public library

They’re just called tablets now. My Tab S8 w/ keyboard has pretty much replaced any use I needed for my personal laptop at home

eeltech ,

Oh yeah, I think I added the keyboard cover as an add-on some samsung store credits I got when I bought the tablet

They look like this www.amazon.com/s?k=keyboard+cover+tab+s7&crid…

Roku lays off 300 workers and removes streaming content to save money (www.engadget.com)

Roku looks to be seriously tightening its pursestrings. The company’s laying off a full ten percent of its workforce, over 300 employees, in addition to a conducting a number of other cost-cutting measures, as reported by Variety. These job cuts are just the beginning, as Roku’s also removing streaming content, consolidating...

eeltech ,

They took a gamble and tried to play the streaming game - and lost

Did any of y’all Roku owners buy their device for the purpose of their streaming content? I know I didn’t - I bought it because of the promise of an excellent UI to organize all of my other already-existing-and-too-many services in an easy streamlined interface even my dad could use.

“The study did not include people who are street-entrenched or who have serious addictions or mental health issues”

Seems kind of disingenuous to leave out people who are addicted to alcohol or drugs. No, that’s not most of them, but yes that is some of them.

The study simple ignores them so how can one make conclusions like “contrary to what people believe” and “the opposite of what people think” without actually considering the subject in question

eeltech ,

I’m wondering what is the percentage of homeless that are addicts or have mental health issues. You seem to be confident they are outliers, but what is the percentage? Is it 1%? 25%? 50%?

Seems like a logical fallacy to me without knowing that stat.

eeltech ,

So you’d essentially be proposing that we don’t help

Excuse me? I haven’t proposed anything. I’m simply asking questions because the headline/description seemed misleading to me and not adequately conveying the full story/situation. Purely from a math/stats/logic point of view

Revealed: WHO aspartame safety panel linked to alleged Coca-Cola front group (www.theguardian.com)

It uncovered eight WHO panelists involved with assessing safe levels of aspartame consumption who are beverage industry consultants who currently or previously worked with the alleged Coke front group, International Life Sciences Institute (Ilsi)....

eeltech ,

It should make you distrustful of politics, lawmakers, lobbyists, and capitalism not science itself. Pure science is unbiased and systematic, by definition.

eeltech ,

should be easy to write like a forum skin UI for lemmy, no?

(thinking like old.lemmy.world or a.lemmy.world but made to look like a forum)

eeltech ,

Lmao this is great

And yet they’ve turned their back on *Android tablet users and refuse to support the tab bar.

Ridiculous. Only reason I switched to Vivaldi

What is a good hobby for a depressed person?

So i still have depression and im constantly bored, i feel like a loser who cant do anything right. I want to let my creativeness out, make something i can share with the world or family, but im probably dreaming too big. I cant stand being depressed and bored, it stinks, everyone tells me to work out but i lack the motivation...

eeltech ,

Ride a bike. You get exercise, sunlight, cheap transportation, thrills/adventure, and good feelings, it’s a win win

And if possible, find a local social bicycling group near you. Adds even more benefits when you are riding with a group

Another reddit alternative www.reddit.com/r/…/a_little_about_tildes/

Looks ok but I don’t think its federated

eeltech ,

What about if you just jump, especially really high? or stand on a ladder? :P

eeltech ,

What took you so long?!?

eeltech ,

only reason I made several is to "claim" my username on different lemmy instances. I'm hoping at some point I can merge or link them somehow

eeltech ,

Would be hilarious if he walked into a job interview and got grilled about it. “yeah, so it says here you worked on the web? do you have a portfolio? what frameworks did you use?”
