I mean, is it really a good idea to call a movie about a bunch of girls holes?

It’s just asking for horrible jokes

The one about the time the thing happened

The pudenda

The punanni

It’s the astroturfing that’s objectionable.

Kinda depends on what features in sync made you like it.

Overall, boost, connect, thunder and summit each get close to parity, but only close. But, you could say that in reverse, (that sync only gets close to parity with any of them) it isn’t a slight against any of them.

Eternity is another one that I’ve had good use of, but development on that seems to be stopped as well, so I dunno if that’s a useful option.

Past those, you get less similarity in ux and ui than would make sense to compare. Like, the apps that mimic voyager (or whatever the popular iOS reddit app was called), things are laid out so different that if you used sync as a primary, you aren’t likely to enjoy that ui.

On a phone, I kinda favor connect over sync, despite it looking very unlike it compared to boost or eternity. But on a tablet, nothing else does double columns in portrait worth a damn for me, and aren’t great in landscape either. But boost and eternity come the closest to the visual ease sync has.

that’s sync

I was going to include screen shots of the ones I have on this tablet, but uploads shit the bed and are being weird after that one. So no promises that I can do them all

boost

eternity

connect

and interstellar since it does piefed better than anything else I’ve tried, and still does lemmy just fine.

Decided to install thunder and summit long enough to give a visual

thunder

annnd summit

As you can tell, everyone has a slightly different approach to the UI. But they’re even more variable in what settings are available, little niceties, etc. Theming is all over the place from a bare bones light/dark/oled to the relative broad visual options of boost and sync. None of them are bad at all. They’re reliable, work even on older devices without bogging them down, and are all easy enough to get going with.

In all reality, someone I used to know dying under suspicious circumstances. I’ve known a few people over the years that, if they got murdered, there’s a non zero chance that someone around at the time might consider me a suspect.

Like, some people are just that fucking batshit that you have to cut ties in a very blunt, direct, and unmistakable way. When that happens, it tends to linger in memory longer than just a casual argument or whatever.

And I’ve run into a handful or so of people that I had to very definitively inform that they should not darken my life again. So, yeah, if one of those turned up dead in a ditch, I might get a knock on the door despite never thinking about them until s question like this comes up

Baldur’s gate 3, tiny Tina’s wonderlands, ff7, annnnd I’m not sure. The fourth and fifth slots are harder.

I would say pacman, but even if you gave me the arcade game for free, I don’t think I could play it worth a damn now. Same with centipede (they were my favorites back in the day, but pacman I was good at).

The original Mario Kart could be in there. And I can’t pretend that need for speed carbon couldn’t compete for a spot either. I think I’d take Kart over Carbon though.

Yeah, fuck it, pacman and Mario kart. Those are the last two spots.

No! Wait!

Neverwinter, the mmorpg. Fuck mariokart, I’d take that one, assuming I could either have ai teammates that didn’t suck, or could just keep a server for it running without cost/effort. Loved that game. Technically still love it, but when I stopped playing for a while, I got power crept and didn’t want to play ptw style like it turned into. But my haste cleric? Fuck yeah!

I mean, dude does seem pretty rapey. I wouldn’t leave my chickens alone with him.

Nah, it’s only gay if you like it

I think the app ecosystem of Smart Cats is good enough to make up for the loss in simplicity from Stupid Cats

One problem

Batteries.

I’ve used old devices as many things: security cameras, a form of intercom, digital picture frames, etc. The real problem is that the batteries eventually go bad, and become dangerous.

For the few devices that have realistically replaceable batteries, that’s no big deal, but how many of those are left now?

No thanks to the potential fire, I’ll pass. The few devices I have left that I can swap batteries out are becoming harder to find new batteries for as well, so that’s an issue beyond their anemic hardware (I’m talking really old tablets at this point)

It was a horrible trek movie. It was, however an okay sci-fi movie, if you pretend it wasn’t set in the trek universe.

Basically a variation on a heist movie imo. That kind of vibe. But it completely failed to fit Trek in any way other than terminology.

It’s not as enjoyable as Galaxy Quest in terms of being an homage to trek, and definitely not as enjoyable as the Orville in that regard. But there’s been way worse sci-fi movies made for sure. I’d rate it around 3 stars out of five, maybe 3.5. There’s sections and characters that bring it down a good bit, but the overall flow is decent

Yeah, if you ever run across the theories of how dogs became so close to us, it started with wolves being willing to take the risks of scavenging near us, and eventually co-evolving (until selective breeding started).

Actively, intentionally domesticating a species is a slow process overall, and it wasn’t something that I’ve seen any specialists suggest would have been the case with dogs, or cats.

🎶Immanuel Kant was a real pissant, who was very rarely stable 🎶

The death by tasp bits in the Gil the hand stuff was mind blowing (word play intended) when I first read it. Niven is brilliant at taking concepts like that and turning them into entire plots.

That’s why I have a chicken.

Home brew that shit! Fuck balance!

No more or less flawless than windows, Android, or the iOS stuff.

It’s different flaws.
