Wait, you can’t copy and paste text on GrapheneOS?
That seems really dumb.

It is also important to not forget about how the Bible was formed.
What we know as the Bible is a collection of books, selected by a committee during a conclave centuries ago.
Any decision made by humans in power and influence will inevitably be favoring their own goals and politics.
There are plenty of other Christian texts that were excluded, how would they have changed Christianity if they were included?

- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 1 week ago:
I really enjoyed the first one, and am looking forward to the second, but first it needs to get a better price, and preferably get on GOG.
- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 1 week ago:
Yeah, the price for new games had been fixed for a long time at €50, and then the industry decided to whack it up to €70 just as the cost of living reached even higher.
And now they are standing around scratching their heads asking why their games failed…
Now, I realize that the cost of living also affects companies and their staff, but come on, you don’t whack the price up by 40% in one go, you start earlier and raise it by 10-20%, let it stabilize and go from there.
That is more in line with the inflation rate.
- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 1 week ago:
It underperformed due to them overcharging for it.
I had my sights set on buying it shortly after launch, then they decided to charge €80 for it on launch, and still charge €70 for it.
I would be fine with €60, but more is just greedy.
And yes I noticed way too late that they had it on sale for €50 this december, and I missed that opportunity due to other expenses.

They have become disturbingly common here in Sweden as well.
I would like to put in a motion for a new law, no vehicles can be sold that has a bonnet taller than two thirds of that of the average car’s roof height.
I have a 2021 Seat Leon, it’s insane to have cars with a bonnet taller than my entire car.
- Comment on Should I replace my laptop battery, and are third-party batteries safe? 3 weeks ago:
My mina home computer will allways be a desktop, though I do like a laptop as a complement.
In general I don’t want batteries in everything, I am very weary of lithium batteries after having seen videos of them going pop.
I have thought about building a dedicated charging cabinet, devided into separate charging lockers, with active cooling of the bottom plate in every locker.
I am concerned everytime I buy a new light for my camera setup, as I like the fexibillity of an integrated battery, but don’t trust the brand to know if it is safe.
I would love to have a carging cabinet as described above…
- Comment on Should I replace my laptop battery, and are third-party batteries safe? 3 weeks ago:
There are plenty times when custom solutions are better than generic ones.
Weather or not this is one such time can be debated.
All I noted in my last post was to explain reality.
Generic battery cells in laptops have been dead for a many years now.
Customers won’t accept a laptop thick enough to fit a battery of 18650 cells anymore.
I recently ordered a high power workstation for a user, a Zbook with a U9 cpu and 64GB of ram, that was just maybe 5mm thicker than the normal EliteBook 840 we buy, and holy shit, it felt really old when carrying it.
- Comment on Should I replace my laptop battery, and are third-party batteries safe? 3 weeks ago:
- Customers demand thinner laptops, standard cells won’t fit.
- on HP and Dell’s professional laptops you can fairly easily replace the battery, they even publish service manuals with pictures showing how to do it.

Are we going to tell him to crack open the pack and replace the individual cells that go bad, it’s usually safe with decent soldering, and an average volt/ohm meter to verify.
No.
- Comment on Should I replace my laptop battery, and are third-party batteries safe? 3 weeks ago:
The most important question about if you should replace the battery doesn’t concern the battery stats, it concerns the physical health of the battery:
Has it started swelling?
If it has, then yes, it is important to replace the battery, if it hasn’t, now you can consider the stats.
I am a professional IT technician, and this is professional advice.

Swede here, Taco Bell recently opened here, and I went to try it last weekend.
It was disgusting, I had their recommended meal, some flat soft tortilla with minced meat, corn, cheese, salad and some sauce, with a side order of nacho crisps, and a Fanta thing from the machine.
The Fanta was ok, but tasted too much of sweetener, the nacho crisps were disappointing, and the wrap was just disgusting.
The cheese had a taste/smell similar to that of acid reflux, the meat was tasteless, the salad was basically non existant, the corn was there, I saw them, didn’t taste them at all.
The whole texture was like a soggy mess in a tortilla wrap.
For the rest of the day, I would feel sick at random times after eating it.
Sorry for the rant I have been wanting to complain for about a week now and when ai saw the logo I just had to.
For me, it is back to the Swedish classic, Taco Bar.
- Comment on If you're a parent, how do you prevent your kid from watching AI slop? 4 weeks ago:
Remember that watch history has the largest impact on what recommended videos will appear in his feed.
Curating the watch history is insanely effective, I have done it for a decade and it has helped me keep my feed 92% politics free, and 98% toxic masculinity free, I never knew about Tate until I started seeing reddit posts about what a terrible person he is.
I would actually show him this when he is old enough.
My strategy about this was to remove any content I don’t specifically want recommendations from, but has shifted to a more permissive stance where I will focus on removing videos that specifically harms my recommendations.

I think Helvetesgränd sounds far more dramatic than “hells alley”, mostly due to it containing the letter “r” so you can roll it in your mouth for added effect.
- Comment on "The trolley made me fear for my life" 5 weeks ago:
This is unrealistic, dead man switches has been a common part of trains and trams since the 1930s or so, it is therefore highly improbable that any tram operating would lack that critical piece of safety equipment.
Thus it is ridiculous to assume that the tram would continue on after the driver has been killed.
I refuse to participate further with this preposterous charade.
