Fractions are just funky when dividing. Dividing by 0.5 is the same multiplying by 2.

Your analogy is really close, but backwards is all. If you have a quarter of an apple. In order to get half a whole apple, you need another quarter. Two quarters make a half, so dividing a quarter by 0.5 gives you 2 quarters. Dividing a quarter by 2 gives you 0.5 of the original quarter which is your 1/8th

“humans ruin everything” yea that the point and art

I’m in a similar boat, but I never feel fully satisfied to release a song (probably cuz I am a hobbyist and I suck lol).

But regardless, I think there is an element of selling your soul to Hollywood to really make it big, and I just don’t have that kind of commitment at this point in my life. I like relaxing and anonymity.

Nah, social media is like a hydra. Another “TikTok” will just be born from the ban.

Nothing is changing drastically until we have better data protection laws.

Facts. We need better data protection laws, especially now more than ever with the rise of AI

I wanna like Linux but I play too many games with anti-cheats that just don’t work on Linux yet :(

However, the deal was rejected by a US judge in January who described it as “an unfathomable sum”.

I agree with this. Pixel A series are pretty much the smoothest android experience for cheap. Plus they have a pretty good camera as a bonus. The low end Chinese phones and even the Samsung A series just don’t quite do it for me. I think OneUI was made for faster hardware.

Keep in mind most of them are barely different from each other. It’s mostly a regional thing with laws, but a lot of them will recycle the panels or SoCs.

Yea but fuck the security torx screws. Also hot take, but underrated screw goes to tri-wing/Y. They’d be great screws if they weren’t security screws as well.

It’s the new “4k”. Just buzzwords to get clicks.

I think there’s now a law about the modernization/regulation of fast food restaurants. Just so we don’t have a bunch of leftover Pizza Hut buildings anymore when a store closes.

Jokes on you, they dont need to anymore :)

Not quite homebrew, but SideQuest is the least hassle free solution for many alternatives and games.

Lemme put it this way. Freedom of speech isn’t freedom of consequences. You talk shit, you’re gonna get hit. Is it truly freedom if you’re infringing on someone else’s rights?

I still have my phone set that way. I turn off all notifications that aren’t messages. Though, I guess now it all goes through my watch first.

I see so many ads for malware bytes that it almost looks like malware itself lol. I’m pretty sure they have a lot of money.

Correct. That’s the nature of it, now add generational trauma on top and you get our current society. Testosterone is a hell of a drug.

Parts are expensive and profit margins are thin. What’s stopping us from buying parts on eBay and reselling those phones for profit? You pretty much end up with the cost of the phone to repair the phone.

Exactly this. As a dude, I sometimes feel like I have to be the one to stand up and say something because I have more authority in THEIR minds. I swear some guys just hear women speaking as white noise.
