    I think he made a good video but I couldn’t stop thinking about this new “anti-consumerism consumerism”. So many “I needed my phone to do x, so I bought this to do that.” Even without the immediate ability to buy anything anywhere he is fundamentally locked into this mindset of “I need so I buy”.

    Could have used parental controls(like so many “adults” need to have their friends set on their phone) and locked your phone as only a phone. Delete every app that isn’t essential. You can make your phone useless when you’re bored, you can pick it up but nothing will be there to give you “relief”. No distractions, no ability to install distractions. Your phone is yours, you can have it do whatever you want. I guess some people are just so addicted they can’t even be near it. They’re like people that stop smoking just to get addicted to vaping. Still addicted, just not to the old dirty style of getting your fix.

    If you’ve been inside a Walmart or target or many other major retailers in the last 5 years, you’re already in the database.

    Super cute edits:

    “You’re already in the system, whether it is a system that involves a conviction, an arrest or being a member of the community on social media,” said local defense attorney “You’re part of that system, you’re part of that database, for better or for worse. You’re there.”

    “The lack of laws and legislation is a bit troubling because we seem to need to catch up to a technology that’s way ahead of us,”

    My vr driving Sim rig just works in windows, the most I’ve ever had to do is map my shifter in game. Steamvr, hardware drivers, the actual games, it all just works without doing anything. Plug and play. I’m sure I can get it all working in Linux, eventually. I was(trying to) gaming on Ubuntu 10.04 with wine. I was first batch steamdeck and the amount of progress with gaming I’ve seen thanks to valve and proton means I’ll be coming back. But I’m just waiting for steamOS to be open release. But I am a KDE head so honestly I’ll end up whatever distro that does proton and KDE by the end of this year.

    Biden on his deathbed won’t recognize his children, but will be very happy to see them.

    Trump won’t recognize them, and scream in anger that something isn’t going his way. Like they gave him green jello instead of orange.

    Trumps decline into bitter angry dementia is what he deserves. The whole world will get to watch as his screaming receives no attention. Watch as he forgets who he is and what he’s done, success and failure. Forgets everything and is only left with a head full of undirected anger and a diaper full of shit.

    Saw this posted in a ADHD com a few days back. Every comment was just like “oh no…”. I opened it and like 20 minutes later realized, oh no. I can and have spent many entire days just reading Wikipedia and following linked subjects. So much so I run out in areas. I can’t handle a lot of visual and audio stimulation, short form content is such a nightmare for me, can’t watch it. But give me pages of the most dense info and I’m hooked. I just need the option to download every paper referenced from every Wikipedia page I visit.
