    What is or was your opinion on the VP debate in America?

    At 1:38 is the beginning of the infamous "she sells sea shells" part that was spread on social media. To understand the quote, at the very least, start watching here, but I'd still vastly recommend the entire thing.

    The quote itself is at the sentence starting at 2:37 -2:48

  • I've just realized there's an animated series on Youtube, that I've had a really hard time (read: impossible) finding anywhere else, and if LEGO (yes, I'm talking about Ninjago) decides to delete these videos from their channels, the OG seasons are nowhere to ve found as far as I can tell. Yes, there are some cartoon streaming services but those are few in number and getting fewer, so I wouldn't bet on them or any new ones that spring up having that content available in 5-10 years. And that's worrying. Time to download all 15 seasons and store them somewhere! (oh shit, I don't have enough space, do I)

    Edit: found them on a downloads site from the piracy megathread, but only Seasons 1-11. I'll get them all soon enough.

    Edit 2: The first 11 seasons from that website come up to just over 105GB and I don't have the space. Do I buy a 256GB USB/ Drive to store this at? I'm scared that I'm getting to the point of becoming a data hoarder. Not too long ago, I didn't know what I'd do with my single 32GB USB, now I have added a 128GB one, and a 64GB Ventoy usb to the mix, and I still don't have enough. Wtf?

  • People often point to the terrible things in the world as evidence we're living in "the worst timeline". What examples are there of things that suggest our timeline is actually better than it seems?

  • Wait, when you say Republicans, do you mean the organisation that Americans currently call the Grand Old Party, the GOP, the modern Republican Party? If so, I find it ironic that the party standing for freedom has evolved into the party that shields and encourages racists and criminals.

  • A lot of minor things:

    We're starting a grpup project in uni this year. 3/8 team members met, 1 couldn't be there, 2 we found online but didn't get a response from. The other 2 are a mystery. A large chunk of our grade depends on picking our favourite one of 48 projects, which we can't do cuz we don't know half the team, and their interests and skillset. Also, I'm feeling massive impostor syndrome. I wasn't too serious last year, so now I feel like I don't know anything (I know quite a bit but not nearly to the level I'd be expected to, in any relevant area).

    I'm still having a hard time socialising. Last year, I didn't do any going out or socialising, even though I was in the perfect environment for it, with flatmates that were going out. This year, flatmates are older, and they're either in relationships, or just too focused on studying, or they just don't want to go clubbing necessarily. I have high libido (teen hormones, what can you do) so I want to find a girl but it's just not going to happen if I don't go out (and dating apps produced no results so far, I've been on them for a year). So what's the solution? Going out by myself, and looking like a lone weirdo, making approaching girls (did mention I have 0 experience with this) even more difficult?

    My flat is a slight upgrade in some areas, and an annoying downgrade in others. It's an upgrade in storage space within my room. The wardrobe and drawers are more spacious, to the point where I could properly fit all my clothes and didn't have to think of what to stash under the bed. BUT the drawers were built by a maniac, who left them looking like they were taken straight out of a wacky animation, or something like Hello Neighbour, one goes left and down, the other goes right and down, the remaining is right and up, and they all conflict each other and I have to lift one up to open the other. Also, the extra space in my room has been traded for virtually no space in the kitchen. One and a half cupboards for all my stuff and barely a fridge shelf? At least I got a full freezer shelf.

    Also, the sudden onset of a sore throat for seemingly no reason a few hours ago has left me slightly concerned. It may or may not be combined with a slightly stuffy nose.

    I'm still trying and failing to get off social media, to get myself to do the right thing immediately, instead of just spending a bunch of time dealing with other stuff, or musing on whether this is the right thing, whether it's the most efficient way, etc. cuz it's a waste of time.

    And I still can't fix my sleep schedule. But that's mainly a lack of discipline and the presence of procrastination.

    Can you recommend a pirate minecraft launcher

    Jump

  • It's hard. If you want to play Java edition, there's a few. If you want to go Bedrock, you're essentially stuck on older versions, unless you want to cough up £7 for Minecraft to Google Play. Let me explain:

    There are Java launchers and they work. Typically, you'll want ones that are distributed as a jar file. SKLauncher was pretty good last I tried it. Link: https://skmedix.pl

    For Bedrock, you have 3 options: The Bedrock Launcher, which requires you to own the game on Google Play, the Other Bedrock Launcher which also works with Google Play BUT also allows you to use an x86 apk for Minecraft (the xbox versions and most of the ones you find online simply will not work, unless you want to play 1.15, which IIRC is the latest you can find an apk for (and finding any x86 apk that works is nearly impossible in itself)). And your third option is an emulator like Waydroid but in my experience they all suck, so....

    The TLDR is: For Java they exist and are good. Find ones in a jar file, like SKLauncher, which I'd recommend as it worked when I used it a few months back

    For Bedrock, just succumb and buy it from Google Play, then log into that google account in the launcher and enjoy.

    The other options for Bedrock (using Waydroid, or finding an old x86 apk and using it with the other Bedrock Launcher) both just suck.

  • Would downscaling a display allow for better battery life?

    Jump

  • Good to hear that they're better at power efficiency. What's potentially concerning however, is whether that would lead to manufacturers just using smaller batteries. I want my 80 or 99 Wh battery for the longest battery life! I'll heed your advice and wait to see where things go.

  • What's a handy terminal command you use often?

    Jump

  • How slow, because I neved noticed

    Trust me, it's noticeable. Or at least it was for me. Numbers wise, it doesn't sound like much, but the difference between 0.05s and 0.5s (which are roughly the times I was experiencing) is very noticeable, at least for me. One is done before you've even fully lifted the finger off the key, while with the other you're preparing to press (or maybe you're already pressing pressing) the next key, by the time you see a reaction.

    Your mileage may vary.

  • I've said it before, I'll say it again. Snap slowdowns have been supposedly fixed, but the only snap that updated their packaging to apply the fix was Mozilla's Firefox (from what I've heard).

    And there is a way to create a custom store other than Canonical's (but it's obscure and hidden, so I bet nobody would bother).

    And snaps have better support for cli programs.

    If snaps were as good as flatpaks (which I don't think they are yet), and they were not made by Canonical (got them some extra bad rep), they could have been the dominant packaging platform. The issue is that their reputation precedes them. I don't think Canonical can ever fix that.

    TLDR: Snaps are not as bad as people make them out to be (anymore). It's just that their reputation precedes them, and some of the solutions are there but are not in use.
