fiat food is great, i learned a lot but im not sold on the all-meat diet 🤭
don't forgot about seasonal fruits and fresh seafood 🥲
i think so? theres many different rice harvests so it's hard to keep track.
i still have distant relatives that grows rice and on good harvests that they will share with us. new rice is always a treat over store bought.
it even smells different 🤩
was at the fruit vegetable market and ran into something unfamiliar
apparently this is called Gac, and the lady says "make soup out of it, duh"
i chickened out, anyone try this before?
Taiwan is so beautiful 🥰 I love finding things using DHT
what does that even mean? 😅
she going to use executive orders to support open source development or something?
i'll check it out, thanks! 🥳
Absolutely ZERO reason to have locked phones in this day and age. Once we have carrier independence, theoretically it should usher in competition and lower prices. Make it happen, FCC.
"Back in June, the FCC proposed a significant rule change that would require carriers to unlock all phones within 60 days of activation. At the time, the FCC was seeking public comment on the proposal, with plans to vote on whether to pursue the issue in early July. Since then, the proposal has been unanimously approved by the five-member commission, and the plan marches forward."

the reason is government and taxes
in many parts of the world, telcos are basically state operated as frequency bands are allocated by them, and getting vendors to cooperate with the carriers in the circus of interoperability tests not only controls the devices allowed to be sold to be on their network, but provides revenue. when the margin for devices were high, the carriers make revenue by limiting their network to only allow the devices with the highest margins to recoup the costs of licensing and infrastructure cost.
carrier-locks are like a tariff for radio bands: Want your device to come on my network? go to this office and pay a fee, go to that lab and pay a fee before dialing in. the consumer isnt doing that so the vendors do it, thats what carrier locks are
As the price of devices go down, the margin to be made is smaller so the carrier locks appear to make zero sense.

got any recommendations on where to start with old westerns? ive seen a few that i enjoyed, but i keep falling asleep getting into older films in the genre
most of my library is hip hop too, every now and then ill switch to classical, like a pallette cleanser
being a pirate is so much more fun than scrolling endlessly in menus of garbage you dont even want to watch🏴☠️🥳
chromeos out-of-the-box includes a linux container (crostini) that is gpu-accelerated for the devices that have them (called Chromebook Plus these days, i think). the linux environment is pretty useful and performant but theres still retarded permission-related things about it (cant screen capture ChromeOS) and not all usb peripherals (i.e. camera or bluetooth) are available to the container.
eventually I'll flash coreboot and go native linux when im tired of fighting it, wrestling with chromeos is my version of linux gaming 🤣🤣
I got project diablo 2 running on my Chromebook. kinda fun, impressed that people still working on it
not sure if I actually wanted to play the game or just wanted to make it work.
coordinating matches over nostr for open-source game clients of popular tcgs (I.e. Forge or Xmage for Magic: The Gathering) could be fun
draft for zaps 🤔
its still all over the news in Taiwan 😅 generally people find it horrific
