Is IPFS something your family and friends check on regularly? I don’t even know what it is.

Considering your reluctance to give any information about your assertion that such a project using it becomes useless, I’m not sure you know what it is either :P

You sound like a hoopy frood that knows where his towel is

Ahh, old hanging balls, gotchya xD

Yeah the medium of text can be tricky to convey meaning sometimes, I’m a pretty sarcastic person (gotta love using humour to cope with every situation, so healthy…) with a very deadpan kinda delivery on a lot of it, so I often find myself wondering if my intent came across well over text. Tricky indeed.

Anyway you’re cool, and thanks for taking the time to reply so thoughtfully :-)

Now, I’m going to go back to being drenched in a cold sweat! It seems that’s today’s COVID symptom roulette wheel choice! 💦☉_☉💦

Your username vintage balls reminded me of those little rubber balls we used to get at kids, I don’t see them any more (maybe they’re seen as too much of a choking hazard now?), so they feel kinda “vintage” to me now haha.

Those things could really bounce! I liked the semi translucent ones with the rainbow swirl patterns.

To be fair it’s been less than a day, one of the great things about internet messaging is how asynchronous it can be, it’s great for calming anxieties about needing to come up with a reply immediately like if you’re on the phone or something x.x

You’re right though, I don’t reply to things often enough, partly because I’m very sick with COVID at the moment but also a lot of it is my social anxiety and fear of rejection.

I get so scared of what people might say that I avoid looking at the replies, even when I initially reach out because I want to interact with people and form connections ><

It’s one of my big problems that I need to overcome, I’m still working out how to tackle it, but I do know it’s a problem, and it’s mine to solve.

Alas I can’t afford things like therapy, so I just have to stumble around trying to figure my ADHD, possibly autistic (wish I could get seen for a diagnosis…), anxious, dumb ass brain out 😅

I’m sorry in the mean time for being a bit annoying, I don’t mean to be on purpose :-)

Are you like, those old multi colour swirly rubber balls we used to get out of 20p machines as kids? Those were ill!

I thought that was the shit Chrome was doing to block adblockers and antimalware plugins, if Firefox is doing the same thing what browser do we use now? :-(

I don’t care about all the browser wars stuff, I lost interest when it was Netscape Vs IE, I just want a browser that I can configure fully myself and have it be as safe and secure as one can make it, within reason.

He refuses to update the identification info for contributers? Why? It’s the least they can do for people who offer their time and expertise for the project.

Presumably he’d be happy to do so if they got married and changed their name, so it sounds like he’s probably a transphobe, right?

Let’s not be angry at the Devs, it’s the publishers and other execs we should be pissed at :-(

Yeah, it does a fab job of giving me playlists in each of the moods/genres/decades I tend to listen to most, giving me a mix of tracks I know and stuff I can discover. I’ve found sooo much new music I love that way!

The AI voiced DJ is fun too, it’s surprising how psychologically satisfying it is to have a personal lil DJ, even when it’s basically just generating those same playlists under the hood, with a few tweaks.

I’m glad there are offline/open source solutions people are posting of course, I don’t want Spotify to ever be the only choice or some kinda monopoly. But yeah, if you’re happy using a service like that and spending a reasonable amount on a subscription, it’s fantastic :-)

We’ve all agreed that when he dies it would be disrespectful to keep using Linux so we’ll pack it up and switch to Windows from them on.

It would bug me to no end that the trackpad is off centre haha

Once you’ve figured this out, tell me about it please! :-D

I was just thinking about how I miss this screen the other day haha

The big question:

When I try to click on anything on the page, does it try to load pop-unders, or try to redirect me to very dodgy looking URLs?

The smaller question:

Will this be another private tracker, inaccessible without a special invite that’s impossible to get (or having to tie in my personal information, like an email address, just to access it)?

If the answer to all that is no, I’m excited! :-D

P.S Bonus important question: Can it sort the whole database of torrents by most-seeded? You’d think that would be a given, but websites like TPB don’t do this any more and it makes it impossible to simply browse - which is what I do, one must know exactly what they’re looking for. Bummer :-(

Run a Lemmy instance ;-)

Also retropie <3

I assume this will be prohibitively expensive (I really can’t shell out any more than £60 and that’s pushing it already), and probably impossible to get my hands on.

But if it’s affordable and actually available? Hell yeah, this thing looks fantastic. I love that we’re making something awesome here in the UK and sharing it with the world.

Will we finally be able to run N64 games on this hardware, do you think?

What’s the deal with this support person being unaware of how to use basic capitalisation and punctuation in sentences?

We learned that when we were 6.

Deeply, deeply unprofessional. If I had an employee that was this bad at presenting themselves to those outside of the organisation, I’d either insist they learn how to write properly in their own time and apply it at work, or possibly let them go.

It may seem harsh, but they write like a child, and that would reflect very badly on us as a team and organisation in every interaction they had, every day.

If you’ve got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

Calling a stranger an ass because they’re not living their life exactly how you would, in such a minor unimportant way, is not nice.

Which body part do I have to give to HP to be allowed to print these days? xD

qBittorrent, and turn sequential download on.
