It’s coming, if phones are any indication. And yeah I need an adapter, it doesn’t dangle like a dongle, it’s a big hole with a small pole on the other end which is much better, afaik there has never been a computer ever that had a 1/4" instrument cable port but most audio equipment does, since I have both it makes sense to have it, whereas “they took away the 3.5 so now I have to go 1/4”>3.5mm>USBC because they also don’t make a 1/4th>USBC anywhere on earth" does not make sense unless you’re trying to sell me something.

Shocker that specialized equipment requires a specialized cable, I know, but my point is 3.5mm is absolutely not specialized hardware, it is still one of the most common connectors on earth, and as such it should still be supported.

Fwiw I got it! Lol

Maybe for books, but for comics I could never switch. Like with the GBC for me the physicality is part of it, I don’t even like collected editions as much I prefer single issue floppies.

If I ever got a modern gaming device hands down it would be steam deck (well I guess sometimes I do play OpenMW on my laptop, but that doesn’t count.) Love me GBC, love me worm light, don’t need anything else for now lol.

Lol well tbf that was exactly Sunzu2’s original point, me questioning Steve on why he calls Bob a fascist isn’t a tenet of fascism, which is why when Steve asserts that since I didn’t automatically believe him I must too be a fascist working with Bob, it devalues the word. Now I’m wondering if Steve first accused Bob because Steve had also previously accused Jane of being a fascist and Bob did the same thing I just did in questioning Steve’s intel, and Steve is assuredly about to tell Paul that I’m a fascist as well since Steve’s really just an ill-informed gossip like Old Mother Rose in the first church pew.

Now, if Bob said “I think we should kill X ethnic group,” that’d be valuable information to include in your initial accusation of Bob as evidence to support that he’s a fascist, if I then upon receiving that evidence say “well that’s not so bad,” then Steve could accuse me of being one too, but simply asking for that evidence a fascist does not make.

Oh they’ll never come knocking. At best I’d get a letter from my ISP saying “please stop,” after a few of those they may cut off my service, but I have a VPN so they can’t see a damn thing!

I’m with you mainly, I buy physical and pirate digital, but I prefer physical most often if I’m home and have the means. Digital for on the go (except books and comics, still have to have physical for those. Digital doesn’t cut it.)

When I can I like to mix them, for gaming I have my GBC, but the only physical carts I have are Pokemon Yellow, and an ElCheapoSD flash cartridge with every GB and GBC game ever released loaded onto a microSD so I can emulate it on the old hardware. I want to try some of the new GBC games they came out with in the last few years though, but I can’t currently justify it at like $55/cart.

Fair enough, I can’t either from my app, but if that’s the case it would have been worth mentioning. As it stands it appears he’s simply assumed to be a fascist for the crime of questioning whether a third person labeling a fourth person as fascist has a basis for their accusation. And until I see a screenshot of sunzu2 saying he does support ethnic cleansing, all I can do is work with what evidence I’ve seen.

Honestly digitizing VHS isn’t the easiest, I just torrented copies for non-vcr use lol. I still enjoy the VCR though, something about just popping the movie in instead of navigating through directories on an external drive just hits different.

Also just tbf, you’d still have to carry the expansion cartridge to swap them, but they’re easy to carry in a laptop bag, and it’s still a much more elegant solution to use than floppy dongles everywhere like I’m running firefox on a plate of spaghetti. I still think it’s the absolute best solution to our current port problem, even with still carrying the cartridges (which feels like a GBC and hits the nostalgia too, so honestly I like having to carry them lol).

Your kids are drinking your half finished water bottles.

If I have to buy a new thing (assuming same quality) I’d go with USBC for sure, I just don’t like buying new things unless I have to.

But, then again, I’m about to pop in Rodan on VHS and watch it on an LCD tv from 2007, and then maybe play some SMB2 on the NES, so I have a huge tolerance for older stuff.

There’s an example for you, two comments down someone accused him of being a fascist for this conversation with absolutely no evidence to show he supports ethnic cleansing but plenty to show he simply disagrees with the person calling him a fascist (on what constitutes a fascist, if nothing else.)

A fan of buying new things, eh? I’m on the “keep it until it catches fire” side myself. Why buy new USBC headphones when my 20yo 1/4th>3.5mm Sennheiser HD555s work just fine for both my PC and my receiver connected to the turntable? The only reason is “because companies have decided to phase it out so I have to buy new headphones.”

Well, jokes on them, needed a new laptop anyway and Framework has hot-swappable ports including a 3.5mm in addition to being highly fixable, so guess who got the sale over the “nooo you must have MY ports and buy a new one for a busted hinge” companies.

Hard disagree. 3.5mm and USBA devices are still too common and I use a lot of MicroSD despite the phone companies’ best efforts (flipper0, GBC flashcart, GBA flashcart, soon rPi devices, etc), I need both of those more than I need HDMI tbh, my TV has a USBA drive and I can just drop whatever movie on a jump drive and slap it in the TV hole.

Tbh I think Framework got it right, hot-swappable ports. “I don’t need my USBC on the right at the moment but I’m next to the router, let me slap in my eth port instead and plug in for faster internet.” I absolutely love it.

Interesting note: The camps started under Obama, certainly continued under trump, and only continued ramping up once Biden took over, not decreasing. Something tells me that Kamala wasn’t going to buck that trend, it seems to be a bipartisan effort.

If you’re thinking 'bout playing ball it don’t matter if they’re black or white, he hee.

RIP your inbox lol. Like others have said though whatever you choose test it out booting off a USB first, fwiw I’d vote try FedoraKDE, but more importantly I’ll add this:

Whatever you choose it will be different and it will be an adjustment in some capacity, and that’s ok! And don’t be scared of the terminal, always keep back ups just in case but you really can’t fuck up tooooo bad unless you’re using sudo and then just be real careful. Watch a few youtube videos on something like “linux terminal basics” or “bash basics” and follow along like you’re taking a class, it’ll really help you get familiar with it. It’s a great thing to know how to use, these days if I know how to do it through the terminal I usually will instead of puttering through a gui honestly.

You don’t see all the furry porn, extra long Kanji posts, B-Movies, witches, hackers, and cultists?

I figure I’d be mostly ok, the email I use for things I’d need to save is stored locally by thunderbird so I could still access those emails, the only problem would be changing the email on a few services.

The hardest part would be replacing that email address. That said, anyone have a rec for a good email service, preferably free, with IMAP/POP3 for use with tbird, that is at least ostensibly private (I know, email is inherently not private, but ykwim), and doesn’t just get shoved in spam on gmail (since that’s what everyone else has)? Riseup would be cool for instance but it’s impossible to get an invite. I’m thinking I may just pay mailbox.org but I’d prefer not to. Unwilling to self host, evidentially it’s easy to fuck your shit up by self hosting email.

Sometimes you can reach out to support and get them to fix it, but not always. Worth a shot, if you can remember the services that need to be changed lol.

He’s calling them rapists because they have the email domain rape.lol, and fascists because they have hitler.rocks. The other side says “They were edgy 4channers 10yr ago when they started.”

My argument is “well you make it so hard to get a riseup acct which is the leftist equivalent, cock.li is the closest many of us could get.”

Fedora KDE here.
