overview for PhreakyByNature

I don't think it's "prioritise humans over the planet" but more "we should be able to look after one another as a base level of being human. If we can't figure that out how the hell can we focus on bigger things like the planet". Not saying what we should and shouldn't do but just throwing shade at our ability.

I ended up getting a Stadia Premiere Edition (Controller and a Chromecast Ultra) for £20 down from £70 and tried it for essentially free (Stadia Pro 12 months free).

The got £20 refunded when they wound down - announced 3/4 of the way through my Stadia trial.

So all free and got a long cabled USB-C charger, a newer Chromecast than my old one, which ended up on the 2nd TV, and a controller I can repurpose.

Wild.

That's some big inflation in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

"Clothes are for the person wearing them, nothing about this has to do with driving attention."

I agree here, but there are plenty of women who wear specific clothes to garner attention. That, too, is their perogative. At the end of the day the attention is still for them, not the person giving the attention, so it still ties back to your initial point I guess!

What do you believe was the best era of the Internet and why? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

When AltaVista was actually good was another highlight. Babel Fish was great for its time.

I haven't rooted any phones or flashed roms in years. Please let me know why it's so taboo to mention Magisk?
