so i do torrent stuff when i want to keep it, but the vast majoriy of my media i just stream from whatever shady site i happen to find it on first. it’s too quick and easy.

protip if you ever have trouble finding anything, just use yandex. russia doesn’t give a SHIT about copyright violations or DMCA complaints.

yeah, reckon we’ve both been getting a bit semantic lol

i can’t speak for the original person, but my whole thing is regardless of consumer practices, manufacturerers are gonna keep making more and more phones every year, and they’re already making too many. those NIB phones on ebay were purchased, but not to be used. until they get sold, they’re just closer and closer to trash every day.

trade ins and buying/selling used DOES make a difference, it’s just hard not to think it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the massive amounts of electronics that end up getting discontinued, discounted, and sold to resellers hahaha

Yeah but new phones that go unpurchased don’t just magically get unmanufactured. I ONLY buy used phones, but that has literally no impact on the garbage production that comes from companies releasing a new model literally every year.

The sheer number of old phones that are still new-in-box on the secondhand market should be enough to exemplify that fact. We are WAY overproducing tech, and the “model a year” framework is throwing fuel on that particular fire.

It’s like people really think “reduce reuse recycle” is LITERALLY ALL IT’S GONNA TAKE. 1 year upgrade cycles are just as bad as fast fashion for how quickly they produce GARBAGE.

320gb hdd I had laying around that would otherwise just collect dust due to it’s miniscule size.

i put a 512gb drive in a thinkpad less than a decade ago and thought at the time “boy this might be overkill”

and now i can get 2tb on a fucking microsd for a cheaper data/cost ratio than i did back then, wild.

User ratings and sort by popularity are the two major missing features. I can use it the way it is, but it could be so much better!

I love f-droid for what it is, but discovery is not one of it’s strong suits.

baseball tho

I fully thought you were about to reveal some oldhead dnd hack where you can somehow don armor as a free action with prestidigitation

I can’t see folding phones as anything but planned obsolescence.

photogimp exists and is fantastic

get out of my head!

Honestly blown away no one has said 2 yet. That’s primo b plot setup right there.

you’re a monster

Meh, I was never more tempted to buy one than when they actually looked like the old razr too. The 2019 model had that little ridge at the bottom, it looked nice! Or at the very least different.

I’m tried of everything looking nigh exactly the same, did we just give up on design after the iphone 6?

Oh no, am I gonna hate Discovery? That sounds decidedly un-star trek.

I also struggled to get photoshop up and running on my linux machine, I was even going for cs6 too funnily enough. Purely out of exasperation I ended up trying photogimp, and I haven’t looked back since.

I think the look they’re going for is like, current gen photoshop essentials? I don’t really care, it’s close enough to cs6 that it doesn’t feel like I’ve had to relearn anything.

Thank you so much for sharing

e: I completely forgot the best episode of ds9, “It’s 1953, America is racist and Benny Russell is crazy.”

Holy shit I think all of them could reasonably be POC too. History is wild.
