Just a bastard roaming around the world
Never thought that depression meant that I was enlightened.
Given the current state on the US arriving with a burner phone, or even a clean one, would at least get you interrogated, and at worst deported to Guantanamo. Better leave something innocuous on the phone that makes it look used.
IKR!?
I'm so not stoked for this... Apart from being a reboot, bringing Tron to the real world smells like budget cuts to make the movie. I seriously think it will suck, but the soundtrack will rock.
To me the killer feature is the ability to send my tabs to any device I have. Without it it's impossible for me to ditch Firefox, I rely too much on this feature.
I can only imagine Disney buying it.
Too many to count, I almost tore that cover apart but kept it for immersion...

Steel Batallion's humongous controller. That beast is the most fun I ever had with a simulator.
I found AI tools awesome for removing objects in photos or transcribing a conversation. Other than that it's useless because it's not reliable.
A case like that for a Galaxy S is exactly what I want.
I'm not in the USA, but I have friends that lives there and in Canada. I'm worried for them.
So, is the USA screwed?
You know, DOGE, fascist president and corporations dictating what people can do, institutions being ruined, laws being ignored. Is there any way out of that or is it over? Is the USA done?
Ubuntu is just like Windows now, you have to run a debloater to make it usable.
How can Doge access critical government infrastructure and fire people if it isn't even a real department?
I'm not from the US so all of this is baffling. In Europe and even South America there's tons of mechanisms to stop that from happening, and this kind of meddling would seriously result in arrests. However this is happening in the US with these people going completely unchecked. How is that even possible?!
Is that a red herring?
But we are commies, what are you talking about?
Why is Trump orange?
Seriously, why? And why people don’t think that’s weird?
You know the gist guys: wait for the second or third generation and let the suckers take the fall first.
How to get back into academia for a masters degree after being out for 20+ years?
I'm thinking about getting back to uni to get my Masters and later a PhD. The thing is, I'm out of academia for more than 20 years, and completely at loss. I don't quite know where to begin. Any tips?
To all my LGBTQ+ people and folks of color here, remember: the bigots, racists, nazis and haters can buy guns, but so can you.
I'm ignorant about that, care to elaborate?
Why people consistently vote against their own interests to benefit the rich?
When did we stop saying "things are fire" to say "things are cold"?
And what the hell are all supposed to mean? Also, get off my lawn.
EDIT: I'm talking about "cold", not "cool". I'm seeing it being used along with snowflakes and freezing emoji, sometimes even saying "ice".
What is a passkey, in practice? Is it a file? A token? Can I keep it in an USB drive? How can I save it in case of device loss?
If everyone is fired by AI, who's going to buy the products and services made by the companies if no one has money anymore?
Horoscopes actually tell the personality of someone.
Hear me out: if someone believes in horoscopes, they know what each sign mean. Which means they recognise themselves into a sign. Which means they will mostly act in ways to conform to that sign, giving you a way to figure that person out. The sign tells it all, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Uplift Rock songs about being alone
Can someone recommend songs about going to life alone and feeling good about it? There's too much depressing stuff about loneliness around. All I have on my playlist for now is:
Whitesnake - Here I go again
Morrissey - I'm OK by myself
Jimi Hendrix - Stone Free
The Beaches - Me & me
Windows 11's Recall is a brand-new headline feature for Copilot+ PCs. While the idea is interesting, researchers say it makes it way too easy to steal everything you viewed or typed on your computer.
Oh, you're saying that Recall is a privacy nightmare and a sweet target for malware? Surprised_pikachu.jpg
Cycling GPS on a motorcycle?
I was looking around for some GPS equipment for my motorcycle and came across some dirt cheap (in comparison) cycling computers with GPS tracking. This got me wondering, has anyone tried it? Since I don't need nor want all that fancy stuff like tracking, consumption, points of interest, etc, and just want a map, a route and something to show the way, would that be a good idea?
How do I stop wanting to be on a relationship?
It's not that I can't. The problem is that when I'm with someone, I deeply yearn to be alone. I'd love to have my life for myself, with no responsibility with no one else - just me.
But then, when I'm alone, I feel like a failure, like I need a relationship to feel complete, and I fucking hate that. So I end up in another relationship, and after two years I can't stand it anymore, and the cycle repeats.
What the hell. Has anyone suffered from something like that? How can you be alone and not feel lonely? How to kill this need to be with someone?
EDIT: Thanks for all the answers, I'm taking every single one into consideration. Please, keep them coming.
An opinion downvoted to hell is actually a good indication that the opinion is indeed unpopular.
It's upside-down world here, people. Downvoted away, that is the true hallmark of an unpopular opinion.
What is a "tax write off"?
Let's say that I have this one movie that is finished that I spent 80 million to make. I decided to "write it off". So when I get to pay my taxes, do I get a 80 million discount?
Newsgroups?
Just saw on Titus Tech Talk that torrents are last decade, and newsgroups is where it's at for this stuff. Of course he didn't elaborate, so I need some help here.
What is he talking about, and what are these groups that can I enter er, avoid?
What’s a “sovereign citizen “?
Came across this recently and I can barely understand what’s about.
What’s Usenet and how can I access it with modern hardware (phones/laptops)?
Pretty much the question. I heard about Usenet a while back but never managed to wrap my head around it.
Why has the world gone to shit?
In the last 5 to 10 years everything seems to suck: product's and services quality plummeted, everything from homes to cars to food became really expensive, technology stopped to help us to be something designed to f@ck with us and our money, nobody seems to be able to hold a job anymore, everyone is broke. Life seems worse in general.
Why? Did COVID made this happen? How?
