Great video with good points, we'll have to see if the monopoly stays good for gamers in the next 10 years, its pretty obv from the video that the status quo is great for valve and good for gamers, but horrible for competition in the platform space. Valve is a monopoly like how android and ios are a duopoly. Great for customers and the companies around the OS's, bad for competition in the market. (Does competition matter if a monopoly it benefits the customer?)
I think the switch to usb-c from a is a huge e-waste disaster in progress, there are legit good uses for a c-c cable, but its not really worth fucking over a third world nation that has to take all the "outdated" fully-functional usb-a tech we throw away. Not to mention the overall cost to the user to replace it all over their lifetime. Personally I only have 1 type-c power brick for the singular device that can do 68w charging. (I only use it if I'm going out, other that that its 5w-9w type-a chargers.) (Not to mention the dongle hell people go through to support type-a on c only laptops!)
Moon rise is used the same as sun set, and in most contexts has nothing to with the phase of the moon or sun. The phrase "it was well past moonrise" indicates that the moon is at it's peak in the sky. To say that it indicates anything else would show a lack of understanding of how the sun and moon move around the sky. A phrase like "the big bright moon was imposing on the sky" would show the reader that the moon is a full moon and the largest thing in the sky. (That is unless we're talking about the day-night cycle on a different planet, then I take back everything.)
Is there supposed to be someone here?

> Just got this new watch band for the pinetime and its SOO much comfier than the factory rubber watch band that comes with the pinetime. The watch uses a 20mm standard connector that everyone supports. The band is elastic and doesn't leave a mark on my arm, and it keeps the watch inplace so it Finally doesn't go upsidedown when I shake my arm! Got two but going to use the brighter one because it feels right.

In the future I might sell my homebrewed switch, and want to know the rough resale value. I have in my mind that its worth around £500 due to rarity.
Could never figure it out, same with anything that isn't a flatpak from the popshop
Does pipepipe (fdroid) proxy videos before sending it to the users device? Pipepipe is a fork of Newpipe a YouTube frontend which proxies videos to preserve user privacy.
Got Snapchat recently and want your opinion on it. Some things I like: public snaps that can keep you up to date and more aware of the world around you. Things I don't like: 24/7 friend locations, from the fact that anyone knows where you are and that Snapchat will sell your location data to advertisers. Would also like to know more about etiquette on the app.
What's your opinions for buying a used flip3 from places like amazon or CEX, judging from reviews the biggest worry is that the screen will breaking less than a year of second hand use.
Wanted to make an account on a JP/en server but I don't think misskey will allow sign up with a protonmail email, can anyone help me with the sign up.
What's your opinion on misskey and how does it differ from Lemmy as a fediverse social media project?
Two years ago my PineTime Smart Watch bricked and bootlooped with no hope in sight for recovery. And a few mere minutes ago I revived it from its long slumber we call death. But it was in fact! Just hibernating waiting for its time to live once again!
A post on the PineTime reddit from two weeks ago, in which a user encountered the same problem as me asked how to fix it... Unpair Bluetooth and reflash firmware.
So simple yet so hard, nearly eight months of hibernation, and all I had to do was reflash the firmware.
So is life.
Today's haul is: Belgium Chocolate with Liquor, the Liquors are three of: amaretto, rhum, paire Williams, whisky, congnae, and Cointreau. The Paire Williams tastes like bleachy whisky. Caramel wafers as usual, Marshmallow snowballs as usual, decaf tea, sultana cookies, toffees, tea and date and walnut cake.
Just finished making this at 1:00am, took me 2 hours to finish and I'm really proud it looks amazing. It came with unique pieces; the small flowers, and the big flowers have frogs in the middle of them lmao. The brown Lego at the bottom is dead dried wood and the leaves fill out the orchid really nicely. Only 33£ on sale. Overall 10/10 just need to get the Succulent and The Bird of Paradise to finish the full set.
Goodnight all!
This weeks Ringtons haul is Crumbly Mints, White Chocolate and Lemon Cookies, Toffees in the TeaMobile, Milk Chocolate Turkish Delight, and Caramel Wafers.
Could it crash if enough accounts post links that need converting? Either if enough people started spamming links or someone got a bot to make posts.
