Sorry, I probably could have specified it was a clone and saved you the down votes 😅. I only recognized it cause I was chatting with someone in another thread on this comm and they told me about it, and I noticed the icon on the top of the click wheel being difference from the iPod (I’m a ui nerd so I like really enjoy interfaces, hardware or software)

Anyway, hope you have a lovely day :)

Is it a known thing that they were dishonest about speaking to a lawyer with that situation?

I’ve been meaning to change instances and find a new home, if it’s known that they lied or mislead their users thats something I’d love to know more about

I think someone told me about those devices, can’t remember what it’s called- how do you like it? Love the yellow color, looks super pretty

I mean, I’m not a big fan of the carsal justice system, I don’t think sending this 80 year old woman to die in prison will somehow bring back the dead, but not taking away her license is kinda unreal

A no contest rather than guilty pleas and moving assets feel like they may be things she was advised to do by her lawyer but do feel additionally gross.

The culmination of it all definitely does not feel like justice. Though people in the comments here calling for her to die in prison probably ought to do some self reflection on how much they’ve bought into the notion that harming those who have done wrong somehow makes society or victims better off. Our criminal justice system sucks ass, institutional retribution has never been “justice” either.

What a fucking depressing story and miscarriage of justice.

If you’re knowledgable about CSS you could use the Stylish extension to customize websites, but given frutiger aero’s aesthetic, you’d probably have to add a bunch of images for ui elements, so I wouldn’t neccisarily expect it to be easy

Short of customizing stuff yourself, I think thats a really niche styling to be looking for, for already niche platforms. If you wanna check for other people’s CSS creations you can go to the userstyles.world site, or the older and I think now defunct userstyles.org, and search for mastodon, or any other sites you wanna check out themes for. There may not be many, customizing your websites with CSS stylesheets isn’t exactly a huge hobby, so the most themes are available for sites everyone uses (YouTube, Wikipedia, google, etc.). Any themes there you find could be used with the stylish extension, though it may require some extra work from the older site

As someone else who enjoys the y2k retro aesthetic, I hope you find something you enjoy :)

I should really look up if there are local grocers around me other than farmers markets. Thanks for your thoughts!

Helpful point about meat, any suggestions on places to check for better deals on meat? Increasingly I’m just reducing the amount of it I eat, but being broke as shit I’m always trying to keep in mind where’s a good place to buy what

At least they dont donate to political campaigns. Being anti union sucks though, I wasn’t aware of that, and its always good to know those kinds of things, thanks for making me more informed

Thats map is an incredible peice of history, great post. I’d be curious to see a more modern map made, since lynchings continued for a long time after then

Love seeing this acknowledged. So many of the societal harms we trace back to men and then we fail to engage with why men end up that way.

We do men and boys an enormous disservice by essentially raising them to be emotionally stunted and interpersonally dysfunctional. And then they grow up and they subject more boys to the abuse that was normalized to them- because hurt people inflict more hurt on others.

But if you say the word “patriarchy”, men who are deeply hurting under said patriarchy will disengage and treat the idea as a threat to be defeated because they, like everyone else, are a product of their socialization, and their socialization teaches them that of they fail to measure up to the rubric of masculinity, they are a failure, and that masculinity is the ideal. Questioning that is a non-option.

If you wanna address those societal harms you have to start by raising generations of healthier boys and men, and protecting them from the abuse that is the normal response when those men and boys try to learn how to engage with their emotions.

Shit makes me sad. And instead of engaging with men’s issues in addition to women’s, our government decides we should just stop engaging with women’s issues, because this admin is patriarchy incarnate. No questioning the status quo.

Carbonara is delicious and its definitely not a recent invention

That looks fantastic!!

I had no idea that existed, thanks for the additional option to consider! I’m kinda thinking about an iPod mini since those are also moddable, I think they look cute, and are a fair bit cheaper, but I think I might kinda miss color, higher resolution album art, at least a little bit

5th gen kinda seems like the mid-teir price wise, but I’ve heard they’re not as stable with rockbox which Id be kinda interested in potentially running. And 6th gen or later seems really pricey

Gotcha, thanks!

I think I’m leaning in the direction of an iPod, but thats more money and more of a project, so we’ll see :)

I don’t meant to he rude, but did you read the article…?

The statement that people are unhappy about ai is supported by poll numbers from multiple sources with different polling questions, and their primary point is that everyone hates data centers (which they do, because said data centers absolutely destroy water and electricity cost in every single nearby community as soon as they’re up and running)

You haven’t really engaged at all with what the source article is saying. It kinda feels like you just saw an article critical of ai, and vented your feeling that people are too critical without engaging with the substantiation the article provides for it’s anti-ai narrative

While I understand feeling on the outside when you’re getting value from this tool, and everyone won’t stop screaming about how much they hate it, but its not as though they dont have good reason to

may have legitimate concerns like the amount of precious resources used in manufacturing, the energy it consumes & climate impact, being trained on & mimicking others work without compensation

You know that mimmicing other people’s work without compensation is the only potential source of profit for the technology right? Thats its whole sell. So it comes with enormous existential costs, does a lot of harm to the social contract of creating and sharing things, has ridiculous environmental cost, and in exchange we get… A very unreliable source of info that presents hallucination with the same social ques of credibility as it does actual information, and the possibility of rich people making even more money at everyone else’s expense as they destroy utility rates, take intellectual property that isn’t theirs, and make a for-profit product out of it that can only succeed on the basis of that theft… That ain’t a great deal for anyone but the ai companies 😅

People have good reason to be angry about this technology being shoved into pretty much everything possible. It washes things of their human origin so they can be sold by a corporation without paying those humans, has a huge cost, and is wildly inconsistent in whether its helpful 😅 sure sometimes it is, but you should double check everything it says so you could just start with a regular source directly created by a human…

Dont even get me started on image generation, and how nauseating it is that people call it art (I say, as an art nerd who cares deeply about art, and understand that it is, at its core, the experience and product of thed deeply human need to make things).

And its not like the costs are hypothetical either, workforces have already been slashed

People are upset about the lack of regulation, the fact that these companies have been allowed to scrape everything ever and make a commercial product with other people’s creations without agency or payment, and wreck people’s already difficult utility costs 😅

Do you know where yo find info about the upcoming device? I couldn’t find any info other than a random Facebook post not made by fiio

The SEO is rough given its an existing popular product name, just minus a single descriptive term at the end 😅

I’m so fuckin proud of you! Keep taking little steps, keep being compassionate to yourself, we believe in you! ❤️

Anxiety is really fucking hard, and you can do hard things 🫂

Man, thats beautiful, what a cool form

Thats kick ass! This comm doesn’t get a ton of posts, I think we’re happy to see you got something that should serve you well :)
