I don’t get why anyone goes to a Starbucks still. If I want aRtiSAn coffee I can still get it cheaper and probably far better quality.

My favorite indulgence is an iced coffee with bananas from Nordstrom (I’m still confused why they went into the coffee business but they are quite successful) and the large cup is still cheaper than what Starbucks offers. I haven’t set foot in one for a couple of years because 7$ for an iced mocha was revolting.

Their iced mocha coffee was all I drank but even the glass bottles they sold in stores I had to stop buying. It’s coffee, not gold!

Being good to your customers shouldn’t be some wild concept.

Not anymore, of course. But nothing beats that brain rot apart from sites that hijack your controls.

Same way you survive live TV. You learn to mentally block out ads.

Because it is.

What’s real heinous and not mentioned in the blurb is that the father wanted to be involved with raising his son but she cut off contact a year after the birth and still forced him to pay child support. What a bitch.

I don’t usually buy the “but it’s ok if the company is American!!!” accusations because no corporation should be abusing your privacy, but I was just sitting here wondering why they think it is suddenly not ok if a foreign company is the one harvesting data.

I remember it being pretty big news when it was revealed, with government agencies making the app forbidden for their employees.

Memories awoken.

I don’t use it often but lately it stopped being able to turn off my flashlight for no reason. Can only turn on. I wonder if it’s just to get people to use Gemini. It’s a shame because I found the normal assistant capable enough for my needs.

I don’t get the people shitting on this. It’s a very fair plan. Something I’ve been wishing existed for the past month, even. Like the article states, it’s for people who use YT to watch TV (me).

I just hope there’s a yearly plan to get a little bit more of a discount. Student plan is the same price but no yearly plan, so it comes to ~$90 per year.

I’d be pissed if the oldest I reached was 30. 100? Nah I’d be dandy.

I find it funny that a lot of cyberpunk settings have rampant (usually legal) drug use because employers want you to perform at any cost but real life is a boring dystopia that demands worker suffering.

I boil them for about 15 minutes I think. Been a while since I made them. Why an ice bath? Just run under cold water while peeling.

I don’t mean to imply you need to burn the fucker to cook it. I’ve eaten it all types of ways. I just hate liquid yolk. If I pop one the yolk runs all over and just ruins the dish for me.

That’s actually how I like it. I can’t stand liquid yolk, love it when solid.

It’s cool you guys allow it. I find banning self-promotion is such a stupid rule for a games community. It’s cool seeing people make games, too!

Endless Sky is on mobile now?!

Unfortunately 99% do suck ass these days. Rewind a decade and the Play Store used to have so many great games, even the free ones.

If you need decent mobile games:

Space RPG series

Space Courser (not sure if it still exists)

Space Traders: Frontiers

Mindustry (free and open source!!!)

BTD5 & 6 (personally I use the Netflix editions)

Terraria

Stardew Valley

Deadcells

Wizard of Legend

Villagers and Heroes (old school, small MMO cross platform with PC)

Albion Online (same as above but bigger and newer)

World of Goo

Hyperspace Delivery Service

Elder Scrolls Legends (I think it shutdown?)

Polytopia

Minecraft

Gladiabots

Pokemon Showdown (technically a web app)

A whole assortment of console emulators!

Just fools and their money being parted.

Well shit that answers my question as well. I’d definitely set him straight on his “disappointing” because it doesn’t seem like he respects an agreement.

Good luck separating that man child from his money at least.

Wild how this is a controversial comment when Lemmy is supposedly left leaning.
