People who reduce human motivations to pure economics will always be wrong about cultural and political trends.

Sidenote to previous boost: it's a bit criminal that @jgreig has less than 300 followers on here.

If you're in or around the Cybers, you should follow him.

People who have assistants doing their email for them making all-encompassing optimistic pronouncements about how easy it is to manufacture a 21st-century electronic device should very much shut the fuck up.

So tired of having people that never in their life had been interested in anything but money think they know how anything works.

Early, early, alpha preview of an upcoming #Roku on #Jellyfin feature.

This is the start of allowing users to select every color used in the channel.

Shhhhh! Don't tell anyone.

...or do, I don't care 🤘

Attachments:

• video: A user of Jellyfin on Roku changes the background color of the channel, a feature that currently isn't possible.

can the Twitter economists who earned their MBA in the comments section please explain how America is gonna conjure a billion-dollar iphone factory out of topsoil and masculine vibes. Is the plan to just yell “made in USA” at a cornfield until Tim Cook appears

Because of the ongoing fucktastrophe, the cries of "Use SIGNAL!" are constant and unavoidable. And I get it, it may be the least-bad option in a sea of terrible options. If, that is, you choose to ignore the advice of "don't use your phone for that shit" (the Stringer Bell Rule).

But out of curiosity, because I haven't been keeping up, has the Signal Corporation addressed: ...

The more I think about this, the more outraged I am. *This* is the man who cares about antisemitism? Is he evil? Stupid? Deranged? Or simply talking to his Nazi-saluting friend too much? Anyway you look at it, this statement is completely unacceptable, and the almost complete lack of new coverage is appalling. (We won't even go into the complete idiocy of making such a statement in front of Netanyahu.)

Dinosaur phones.

Dear Lazyweb,

I have a few very old phones that are just fine, except their batteries are failing. (iPhone 6s, SE 1). Do you know someone I can pay to put new batteries in these? I absolutely do not want to do it myself. I have replaced iPhone screens before and it sucks, no thanks, never again.

I bought $200 worth of stuff from Costco this week and they bought $0 worth of stuff from me. To resolve this deficit I will be charging myself $50 every time I go to the store. With this extra income I will build toasters, which I will attempt to sell to my local Costco for $200 each.

I'm asking for #help again, fediverse.

I'm researching Operation Colussus, when British paratroopers landed in Southern Italy in February 1941.

I'd like to get in touch with people living in, or from, Calitri in #Italy. If you know anyone, can you please ask them to email me (Russell@RussellPhillips.uk) or DM me here.

Please #boost.
