- Comment on Is there a way to listen to only the radio topics I actually care about? 1 day ago:
Yup, you’ve mentioned the solution. Podcasts. Even for podcasts, just swipe away the ones you don’t like the title of .

Seriously… Pancakes or waffles would be my last choice for breakfast. French toast, or eggs (in a variety of ways), a decent bread. Or if I’m going out and going to be fancy then a Shakshuka.

Paying for music is worthwhile. Ditch Spotify. Embrace Bandcamp.

No, keep going. Then you’ll have negative cancer. Also known as anti-cancer.

What’s the joke here? Who is Stephen Miller? I’m OOTL on this one.
- Comment on Here's what would happen if the UK abolished landlords overnight 1 week ago:
A sudden ban would be madness. This would have to be phased in in some system of selling landlord permits which are phased out over time.
Or beat them at their own game by investing in massive amounts of good quality of social housing to flood the market.
One way or another, property prices will go down and people can’t stand the thought of negative equity.
- Comment on 📚 Ruminating on eReaders: Rambling thoughts and memories of my first two eReaders, the Kindle Keyboard and Kindle Voyage 2 weeks ago:
E-ink is easier on the eyes, especially for extended reading. Same for the lack of backlight.
The screen is bigger than a phone.
The battery lasts much much longer. Reading doesn’t need to kill the phone battery when it is on it’s own device.
Reading can be done in places where phones are not permitted (I take my Kindle with me when I take my kids to the pool).
Readers can be cheap enough that it isn’t really a problem having both devices.
- Comment on Microsoft Is Abandoning Windows 10. Hackers Are Celebrating. 2 weeks ago:
There are going to be a lot of good machines that should hit eBay for cheap as companies dump their old stock. Grab home servers, media machines, secondary devices, emulation rigs, etc as the opportunity presents itself.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 2 weeks ago:
My music taste is pretty narrow and my music library is small (<800 songs). Buy my music on Band camp, then stream from Jellyfin. I wouldn’t ever pay for streaming. If I want to go through new music then I use a more targeted online radio (Jango is free and good).
It surprises me that people want to stream such a large amount. Do people just listen to random tunes? Happy to listen to anything?
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 2 weeks ago:
Jellyfin + Symfonium is such a great experience
Jellyfin has pretty good Linux PC clients too. Even the main Jellyfin client works well for music.

- Comment on I Review PC Handhelds for a Living and I’m Worried Where Things Are Headed 2 weeks ago:
These handhelds will die down when they don’t sell well. The low end retro gaming handhelds are in an amazing place right now. The high end PC handhelds will be great to buy on the secondhand market in a few years as they come onto eBay. They’re great for patient gamers. PC gamers are obsessed with running AAA games bat top settings and they’re going to have a rude awakening after wasting their money on these devices. The patient gamers are going to capitalise on this.

Our tiny community squeaks into the void while normies continue to pick up pre releases and loot boxes like crazy.
- Comment on JFC, who did this?! 2 weeks ago:
The Mist
A Stephen King movie from 2007. It’s worth a watch. You can find YouTube videos about the ending, but it’s obviously going to spoil the movie if you’re planning to watch it.
- Comment on Ratmageddon: Why rats are overrunning our cities 3 weeks ago:
Fucking long article can be summarised to a single paragraph of useful info. What a waste of time. This is why it’s increasingly difficult to read mainstream media editorials…
There are many possible reasons for this. Niall Gallagher, technical manager at the BPCA, says our growing appetite for fast food (bins are overflowing with fast food waste), the fact some councils collect rubbish less frequently, as well as road and building works disturbing the sewer network, all contribute.
But there is evidence that rising temperatures might also be at play.
Land is disappearing like crazy, and we’re putting up buildings so we reduce their [rats] habitat in the wild
rats can start breeding after nine weeks, meaning two rats can potentially create more than 1,000 offspring in a single year.

Super busy with job and family. Only get 20 kin to play at the end of the day. Start first game and…
“Oi cunt. I’m gonna rip your bollocks off if ya try to steal the next kill. Awright?”

A post about Windows being shit? On Lemmy? I wonder what the comments are going to be about. Maybe someone will have found an alternative system to use.

- Comment on One in three GPs in England do not work in NHS, says BMJ study 4 weeks ago:
The NHS doesnt want to employ them. There are no jobs for them. A lot of qualifying GPs are graduating with no job availability at the end of it. Of course they’ll have to look for non-NHS employment.

Practically speaking, these would be completely unsuitable for that use. An extensible cord that goes over a meter long doesnt really restrain anyone.
- Comment on best comment under a video about the new iphone 17 5 weeks ago:
It might work for you, give it a shot.
But I found it was never really a viable use case to have a desk and monitor and KB+M and USB hub and charger…yet somehow be more inconvenient to have a laptop.
Androids don’t have great performance on desktop mode. It’s noticeably slow and kinda less responsive.
Almost no app is made for KB+M interface and a big screen.
Browser interface isn’t as you expect compared to PCs (context menus, extensions, link handling that light go straight to some app, etc).
It’s hard to describe completely, but it’s just a really poor experience that doesnt work at all for me. If I were going to rely on a portable device with me, then I would just use a Steam Deck to actually have a proper PC.

I’m sire others will chime in to disagree…but Samsung Dex has never been able to replace a laptop for me. Even an 8 year old laptop will do basic tasks better than trying to make the Android desktop experience work. Most apps aren’t designed for this. I’d recommend sticking with your phone and buying a used dirt cheap laptop.
