    They probably spend more than that each year on office pizza parties.

    What a joke.

  • Picture from my road trip to Berlin, NV, USA
  • Randy_Bobandy Randy_Bobandy 1y ago 100%

    Thanks! Berlin was deserted, and the sign at Ione said Population: 3, and while I didn't see anyone there, I did see a potted flower on a window sill that was clearly being watered.

  • Berlin and Ione just next to it are two abandoned towns from the gold rush era. I went on this solo road trip about 4 years ago. I got so lucky with the clouds that day. They're ridiculously picturesque.

    Reddit risks losing its identity in pursuit of profits
  • Randy_Bobandy Randy_Bobandy 1y ago 93%

    I learned about catbox.moe recently. It's pretty great. Simple interface, uploads up to 200mb, files are kept forever, and when you upload a picture, it gives you the actual direct link to the image; not like every other image hoster that gives you a link to the "image page", then you have to right click on the image and copy the link address to actually get the direct link.

    Only thing that sucks is it doesn't strip exif data from the pictures uploaded, but not a huge deal since I just use it for memes and random pics anyway.

  • The WHO is about to declare aspartame can cause cancer

    For anyone who likes diet soda, check out Zevia. It's sweetened with Stevia instead of aspartame. Doesn't taste too bad either. Makes a great vodka mixer since it's 0 calories.

    Plus, if the internet goes down for whatever reason? External HDD > Laptop > HDMI > TV. Boom. Offline Netflix.

    It's also nice for traveling and staying in hotels. Most hotel TVs have at least one accessible HDMI port, and that's all you need.

    This is great to see.

    My biggest complaint about Democrats has always been their lack of balls, and weird cultish insistence that they always take the "high road" and try to work with Republicans in good faith.

    I know enough about Linux to be able to install most distros and use them, but I don't know enough about them to criticizes others for their choice.

  • Rant: I hate the term “normie”.
  • Randy_Bobandy Randy_Bobandy 1y ago 100%

    Didn't everyone want to defederate entirely from Threads? That would have kept out more people than calling them "normies" would, I imagine.

    I personally don't care either way though; on one hand, I like Lemmy as it is now so don't care if there's a huge influx of Threads users... but on the other hand, while with more users you're definitely going to get more garbage, it also brings in a few more diamonds.

    I come from IRC and message boards during the dial up days, so I'm adaptable.

  • Interested in De-googling, but I would really like a phone with a decent camera, but I can't bring myself to pay $600 for a phone. Advice?
  • Randy_Bobandy Randy_Bobandy 1y ago 90%

    I got a Galaxy S20 Ultra refurbished off ebay for $300. It was a flagship phone and was $1,400 when released. It has an SD card slot that allows up to 1TB I think, a 5000mAH battery, and a 108 MP main camera. And it has 12 gb of ram.

    Whatever you decide, definitely consider refurbished options.
