In our defence, Boris Johnson is an idiot cunt.

Yeah, iOS/iPadOS isn’t great for that, so far as I can tell. I spent am unreasonable amount of time the other day trying to work out how to get the Obsidian vault on my iPad to sync with the vault in my SyncThing folder. Still not entirely happy with my setup. In fairness though, I’m running SyncThing on three computers, and two of them are Macs. So its solid on there.

But other than that, SyncThing isn’t a great replacement for iCloud Drive because you can’t choose what you download. So if I have 200gb in my ST folder I can’t sync it with my 128gb phone.

SyncThing for me, but yeah.

The engineers spun it up, and it asked if they wanted to back up their files to OneDrive.

I got an LG largely because the options were WebOS or shitty proprietary OS.

And yeah, LG haven’t been kind to it.

No, some of them become president.

Nah, even they like it because they think it gives them the right to use the n word.

Welcome to the Gulf of America. I love you.

If you use Android, then this app uses spotdl. It’s really handy.

Hi-MD went up to 1gb. UMD, used in the PSP, went up to 1.8gb.

There’s a county cricket ground near me that was named the Hampshire Rose Bowl when it was first opened 25 years ago. In that time it has been renamed a number of times in honour of a selection of insurance companies I’d never heard of before, but to pretty much everyone in the area it’s the Rose Bowl.

So yeah.

It’s possible to know about this while also knowing that extreme fuckery is occurring. But its not like your average Lemmy user can do anything to stop either.

By Grabthar’s hammer…

DOCTOR SPACEMAAAAN

I’ve just gone from an iPhone 13 mini to a Pixel 9, and two weeks in I’m still amazed at how damn big it is. I still have the 13 and get a bit spun out when I pick it up.

It’s kinda sad that there are hardly any small phones anymore. I chose the 13 mini because I wanted a small phone that I wasn’t going to spend all day doomscrolling on, and that broadly worked well for me. This time I wanted a phone that runs GrapheneOS, and don’t need the expense of any pro models, so the Pixel 9 was it. And it’s huge.

Yesterday I watched a lad repeatedly mis-spell the word “Safety” and wonder why he couldn’t log in to the safety training hub we use at work.

He wasn’t typing fast, he just can’t spell.

I am really fucking tired of soundbite politics, of people saying a thing to rally their voters without any nuance at all. I know why it happens and I know that it’s always happened, but I wish it wouldn’t.

Of course young people find a day’s work stressful. Entry level jobs are almost always shit. You go from the easy(ish) life of full time education, into a world where adults belittle you while giving you tasks that they don’t want to do. For this you’re paid a minimum wage that’s impossible to live on if you’re under 21, and damn near impossible if you’re over 21. You suddenly have to pay bills, and have to choose between having a social life and being functional.

While all of this is happening, you escape into social media where you see people your age apparently making bank just by fucking about online. So you spend your time daydreaming and resentful that you have to go to a place you don’t want to be at an hour you’re not used to.

And despite your efforts, condescending shitheads like Liz fucking Kendall are there to tell you that your feelings on the matter aren’t valid.

So yeah, I’d say it’s stressful.

Yes.
