@app_settings The iPhone 5s was quite small by its time
The ~4.7 inch screen was established (on android) for some years by the time the iPhone 6 got released.

it’s actually CRAZY how big phones are these days lol
here’s my biggest phone- the Galaxy S24 Ultra- next to my smallest phone- the iPhone 5s

@hoeflatoor Can you do a physiognomy analysis on white guys or do you only work on Asians/Singaporean Chinese?
English
Bro you have permanent underclass physiognomy
In a different lifetime you would be crouched on a field farming millet and rice but the Winds of Fate brought you instead to modern America to see if your bloodline could break its curse
Instead, you jump right into peasantry antics once more, angering the Heavens with your impunity

super funny that microsoft had a strong brand like 'office' and some mbas decided that 'microsoft 365' and 'copilot' should replace it

@justalexoki He literally said to be aware of habit forming, but people cant read:
> On the other hand, even if one does develop tolerance to nicotine, that simply suggests spacing it out or rotating with other stimulants. One could imagine a 3-day cycle: nicotine, caffeine, and modafinil.
English
the gwern article and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race

Confession: I'm a dumb bitch What happened was I read on twitter dot com that nicotine when not smoked is actually an amazing nootropic that helps your concentration with no negative side effect. ...aaaaand after avoiding smoking for my entire adult life I'm now addicted to zyns. The don't even feel good anymore. I'm just popping them for no reason until I feel vaguely nauseous.
English
I actually don’t understand how France has 69 million people. Where are they?
5 largest cities:
Paris 2 million
Marseille 0.8MM
Lyon 0.5MM
Toulouse 0.5Mm
Nice 0.3MM
Where are they all hiding? In the countryside? The “big” cities are so tiny.
English
@AngelicaOung The gwern essay on nicotine is absolutely correct
Use them for an immediate energy boost with a much shorter half life than caffeine
Only use them extremely spaced out (multiple days).
English
Yeah ppl don’t know how insidiously evil those little pouches are. The worst thing is…they kind of give you negative aura. Nobody is cool cuz they use zyn.
For me for about a year I would say I kept the use responsible and it was GREAT…a good run. Maybe there are those who keep the use responsible forever.
But at some point I upped my dose, started using more often. And came a time where I put a pouch into my mouth and felt nothing at all.
It just became a monkey on my back.
Sorry. I’m usually not a lame drug not even once kind of person. Just…posting through it atm…
curious mind@AmazingP18614
I had quit smoking 15 years ago. Somone told me pouches give you an energy burst one day while I was tired and without caffeine access. A year later I am a junky for nicotine. Pouch in my mouth almost every waking moment. Got hooked within days, energy boost disappeared in weeks, and now im hopelessly hooked to something I don't enjoy.

Somewhat worrying the CEO of the company that sells compute has been going around for the last month saying things like
"You should be spending almost as much on compute as on salaries"
and
"Everyone should use openclaw - the AI tool that inefficiently forces you to use 8x more compute than you intended."
"Trillion-dollar megacorp CEO hard-shills open source token-usage-multiplier to retail" is definitely one of those things I can see myself looking back on like "yah that was a pretty obvious top signal man"

@airkatakana The only thing that doesn't seem to have a whole circumvention network is the ios app store
Everything else can be worked around, with buying r*ddit accounts, having multiple email providers (transactional + marketing on separate domains), getting an ad agency to run the ads.
English
it's crazy though:
- had to threaten legal action to get on ios app store
- sottaku reddit account banned for over a year
- sottaku tiktok account currently banned
- amazon not letting us send emails
- meta ads simply not going through
the internet economy feels so broken

@notafbihoneypot I really dislike how much of what i though is a "standard linux distro" is just systemd Like systemctl or journalctl It has so many components packaged into one, that alot of assumptions (like when self-hosting or in tutorials) just don't apply when systemd is not present.
QME
@notafbihoneypot Could someone please explain me why everyone hates it?

@uncledoomer Chatgpt 4o was a better therapist than whatever this was.

@LumpyTheCook Everyone wants to hear stories half asleep
But shows produce like 8 episodes every three years
Only YouTube has >20 hours content of one narrative to binge watch.
English
“You can enjoy books and games and movies in alternative ways and still be a fan!” Huh, interesting that all those “alternative ways” revolve around lying in bed half-watching video essays made by mentally ill people while checking gacha dailies and getting groomed over discord
English
@Shyguymask99 Gimp did unspeakable damage to FOSS
Every time a FOSS alternative came up, all I'm thinking is if it's anything like Photoshop and Gimp, I'd rather just pay or not to the thing
But Blender, Inkscape, LibreOffice, and so many others are actually good software worth using.
English
I feel validated that people hate GIMP now. Like 10 years ago in the 2010s everybody would recommend it like it's the best software ever, but when I tried it I found the UI insanely shit & confusing to work with. I quickly went back to paint .net and I still use it to this day.
English
@revenant_MMXX People just want to watch (passively, half asleep consume art)
But there are no new shows with more than like 6 hours of content every three years
Games on YouTube are the only >20 hours narratives being produced today.
English
Games are designed to be played, you might as well be saying you can enjoy a song without hearing it or appreciate a painting without seeing it. You are committing a basic error in which the component parts of a game are "the art part" when in reality the game itself is the art.
Deceptacon@StillPulp
@ankowaifu @rsvgcr So you think video games are art, but you think there’s only one way to interact with them? I find it strange that you don’t think appreciating the lore, environment, character design, dialogue etc is enough to make someone a fan. I think most developers would disagree with you.
English
blocked insta youtube etc. from my router with some url filtering but apparently the native phone apps have some hardcoded(?) api stack so they still run
English
@kurisu_armpit Can't blame them, being on here is a better mental slot machine than most games.
English
everyone getting mad at this has an internet connection and a computer and instead of using it to pirate or emulate they're arguing on twitter
Mona🚫@ankowaifu
in my opinion, if you don't have the means to experience a videogame yourself then you should simply not be a fan of it, there are more hobbies out there
English
@MightyKeef @ax10zx Viewers are on their phones
They have to actually say the plot, because nobody really watches shows or movies anymore.
English
I remember watching multiple interview where producers and directors have said a lot of movies are starting to overly explain what’s happening in a scene now, because of how stupid the general audience is.
And he is 100% right.
