Maybe, but look at the pinephone (also all linux users should be banned from ever naming anything, ever)

I want one. It has so many features I fucking love.

I’m way too computer stupid to make it work

I have a freind who’s been using it to compose all the apologies they don’t actually mean. Lol

Ahh, man made horrors well within my comprehension

Ugh

Went on a spontaneous trip very recently.

Spent a little more money than I’m comfy with.

Truck sprung some issues.

Saw some things I would never have seen otherwise. Some beautiful things, creatures, happenings, and places.

I’ll fix the damn truck. Make the money back (or so)

Is it risk, or are you just being a pussy? Yeah, the human world sucks, but you don’t need all the garbage they sell you, and there’s worthwhile experiences you won’t get with your nose stuck down to the grindstone.

I bet you risk your life, limbs, and liberty every single day driving into work.

I’ve had multiple friends die driving. They never thought THAT was a risk.

Go somewhere you don’t plan to. It aint gonna last forever

It really is dead, isn’t it?

And how, precisely, am I supposed to tell random fucking jackoffs like in the story?

None of you fucks even know what a DNR is, means, what it looks like, and not a single one of you cunts could be expected to uphold it even if you were told.

You don’t get a special bracelet. This isn’t the ‘life alert’ infomercial. Tattoos mean absolutely nothing to medical professionals.

You literally have to have a DNR on file, active, in your county of residence, and they have to look it up. Which will not happen until you’re already admitted.

And if you get sent to a hospital in a different county? Because you’re visiting family or something? You’re fucked. You’re on a machine, keeping you alive. As long as your shitty relatives feel like it.

I have no desire to die incoherent in a hospital with no concept of what’s going on other than everything is uncomfortable. And with the united state’s version of healthcare, I will have to make sure I die somewhere else.

When I die, it isn’t fucking about you

National currencies ARE fiat currencies.

Like the Chinese have been fixing the value of their currency to the dollar, and the federal reserve does exactly that thing where they inflate it at will. Or keep it at zero, and the rest of the corporations inflate it nowadays. Whichever.

Either way, it’s a scam. And I’m not saying the gold standard was a great idea either. It worked at the time, i guess? I don’t know, I wasn’t there. This fiat currency situation seems possibly workable, but I haven’t seen it doing so. At least not for anyone who isn’t already in the club.

The value of money is all made up bullshit anyway, can we at least get some healthcare out of it? Maybe some roofs? Food?

I like my friends not starving or freezing to death.

Fuck man, that was a long time ago.

I think the sci-fi channel was 1: still spelled sci-fi, and two: still doing those commercials for themselves where they said some shit in klingon

Sci-fi!

Outer limits I also remember being super cool, though I’ve been made massive fun of for liking because apparently every single episode is a rip off of the twilight zone.

Which is of course worth watching

Ah, typical human problems that disrupt regular power generation is somehow specific to solar?

Nah, wars and climate change fuck with the grid already, just ask texas. Or north carolina. Or palestine.

And panel degradation is wildly over exaggerated.

My old as fuck mono crystalline panels (I have owned for ten years, and they were outdated when I got them) still kick literally 99% of their sticker rated juice. Even when dirty. They’re dirty right now. I’m not bothering to clean them, cuz they still kick every volt they say they will.

They also literally produce all of the electricity my entire household needs.

SOLAR IS BETTER THAN YOU ARE WILLING TO ADMIT

And yeah, I probably pwned your ass at fortnite or rocket league or something

On solar power

Bitch

My battery powered router is smarter than your bullshit

Hi! Made an account over on some other lemmy server, and apparently the guy running it was old, had health problems, and (rightly so) stopped giving two shits about an internet forum.

Reddit sucks enough I’ve tried again. It’s going okay. I don’t give enough of a shit to really figure how the whole lemmy/fediverse works, but at least it aint corpo garbage

Imagine, if you will, a world where things weren’t shitty for the sake of being shitty.

Where perhaps, good things could just be good.

I mean, yeah I am. I don’t trust a shop to do it

Ah yes, thousands and of other products built to be as or more disposable than the first element that blew.

Why do the boats keep coming, filled to the brim with garbage you never actually needed?

When I’m camping I take a memory foam mattress topped with a sheepskin.

Which is what we were sleeping on during that story.

Which is approximately 10,000% more comfortable than any cot I’ve ever used

This must be on modern monstrosities, I’ve literally never encountered this.

The newest vehicle I’ve ever had was a 95, and I am entirely unimpressed with anything made before 93

Are you stupid?

The vast majority of people living in Florida, didn’t build a fucking house there.

Most of the people living there, can’t afford a house.

Like yeah, fuck the vacationers, they’re probably the reason we’re reading an article about house insurance. But the people who were born there with all their family and friends there, what the fuck are they supposed to do

I’m never using biometrics on any device. Fuck that

Oh the hell it will.

We could have a functional colony on the moon and mars if NASA got a quarter of the military budget.

Maybe, just maybe, we stop spending billions to kill brown people for no good reason, and spend a tiny fucking fraction of that to make our own part of the world Less of a shithole, instead of more

You know, not everyone living in Florida has a beachfront vacation home, right?

Not everyone living there chose to live there either.

Did you know people can be born places? With family? That aren’t rich?

Eh, I’ll say it.

National currencies are a scam. No pyramid needes
