I really loved the “Anchor Man” DVD menu. Solid graphics, great playthrough, simple controls.

because I do not trust big tech.

Dude, same. I mean, I get that’s why many are here, but it’s just gotten so much worse lately.

Starting to build my first Linux machine to use as my daily driver laptop. Been meaning to get into it all for years, but Microsoft’s constant shenanigans as of late and everyone on Lemmy really pushed me to take the plunge.

It’ll be a “baby’s first project” of a used Thinkpad running on Mint, but it’s a start to getting out from under these corporate fucks. Every step away is a step to which I’m not planning to return.

Yeah, the plan was similar to when Time-Warner acquired Myspace only to not understand what a social media site is inherently; then fumble the bag and sell as fast as possible. They really fucked themselves left right and center on that deal… but everyone’s friend Tom is still a multimillionaire.

Automattic declined to share a time frame as to when the migration would be complete, given its scale, but a rep for the company called the progress so far “exciting.”

Yeah, they’ve been talking about this for years now.

AdamEatsAss is a man of the people. He’s got his finger on the pulse of popular opinion.

I love British people 😄…

Someone: “What an interesting home!”

British Guy: [gruff voice dot wav] “They got a permit for that?”

You can still buy one! You’re an adult now, treat yourself!

OP got it out of a gachapong machine… that it actually keeps time is already incredible in and of itself.

The guy with the Rolex will just tell you he’s wearing one. That’s how it works.

Bought a Casio Data Bank DBC-32B-1ADF “calculator watch” about three years ago for like $30 USD. I get more compliments on that watch than any other piece of clothing/accessory that I own. Started using it as my daily driver watch and it’s genuinely great, a real conversation starter. If anybody wants one, they’re still in production and can be easily bought new on the big retailers’ sites.

Give Fedilab a try. I’ve been using it for about a year now; it’s been pretty smooth and straight forward.

You can follow Lemmy threads and users on Mastodon right now, but it’s super clunky just from the fact both platforms are so different from each other. Here’s this thread, as seen from my Mastodon account on the Tusky app.

I’ve never used the official app for PixelFed, I’m just on Fedilab for both it and Mastodon… is the PixelFed app worth a look?

Could you imagine trying to get there to be libraries today if the concept was new? “We can’t possibly just let people read for free! What, do you think literacy is a right? It’s a privilege!”

I was gonna say, go to an outlet mall, there’s usually a Levi’s store that’ll have them.

I’ve got a working Intellivision which was originally released in 1979. Mine was fresh off the factory floor in 84, I think that was the last year it was made.

This is seriously one of my favorite things about the Fediverse… someone decided to make their own experience of it and build a platform… now it’s a thing.

Kudos clever internet person!

Yeah. If you ever have the choice to try to be Facebook… don’t.

Yeah, I’ve been running around the Fediverse for two years now and the name has yet to grow on me. Makes it slightly difficult to explain to people who are interested. The “iverse” part makes it sound like a metaverse type project which gives some people pause -because of the hype-flop cycle and, of course, all the crypto scams associated with that. Have to begin the pitch with “but it has nothing to do with [that], so don’t worry.” (Edit because autocorrect)
