Kobo is pretty good. I like mine. Is it as nice and user friendly as Kindle? Probably not. Do I own it, not rent it, am not served ads, and don’t have to deal with shitty DRM? Yes. Zero regrets. Got one for my sister and my wife, too. They also really like them.
Oooh new vocab, thanks.

Add a jalapeno iris stuffed with a cream cheese pupil right in the middle of those bad boys. Got yourself an evil eye hamdog

A guy who incels like to watch because he is one. Hikikomori/LDR type who stays in his room filled with trash and roaches and streams. Incels and other rightwingers listen to his political opinions because… yeah idk.
It just like… doesn’t really matter? Especially if you’re browsing all - then you just see stuff from everywhere federated. That’s basically how I use lemmy. I don’t only look at stuff from one instance
.ml doesn’t federate with nsfw instances, so All is clean. There’s probably other instances with a similar policy
For the unaware, they do this for livestock shows. If you can get your cow’s coat long (by cold exposure, ideally - makes them fluffy), you can shape the hair to give them the appearance of better conformation.
That can mean the illusion of a straighter back (basically by giving them like an eraser haircut along the back), more width in whatever areas might be lacking, a more balanced physique, etc.
It’s a whole thing and if you go to a livestock show you’ll see people meticulously grooming their cows like this
If that’s what’s holding you back, don’t worry. Thai people are very chill and kind. Also the economy is very dependent on tourism, so dealing with westerners is part of that - it’s something people are used to for better and for worse. And, the US has not fucked Thailand over anywhere near as much as the surrounding countries (vietnam & cambodia, mostly, but even those folks are extremely gracious). People will appreciate you if you are kind, polite, and try to follow local customs.
Thai food in Thailand is nowhere near as spicy as “Thai Spicy” or even “Hot” Thai food in the states, in my experience. Some places I went it approaches or slightly exceeds “Hot”, but on the whole I think the spiciness of Thai food is way overblown.
In my experience the spiciness levels are 1, 2, and 3 meaning 1 - 3 dried or fresh birdseye (or similar) red chilis. It’s pretty standardized and 3 is a hot but still pleasant level of spiciness. Thai people aren’t competing to see who can light their asshole on fire, they just want good food.
Cooking his favorite beef swellington, perhaps
It’s really easy. Linux Mint. Bootable USB. Back up your important files on a separate harddrive. Plug in USB. Reboot. Install. Port old files over. Good as new
Bonus points for looking into how to optimize your partition structure, but it’d be fine to just let it do its thing. Also like… I guess you should probably make sure your audio and video cards are supported, but they like 98% are
你好，来自小米的小林同志！我看到了你在罗布乐思上发出的请求，但认为并不令人满意。因此，我已在《企鹅俱乐部》上提出了自己的反提案。请在您方便时尽快予以审阅。你的头像和习近平同志一样帅。我期待与您合作。
Hell yeah. I was considering a C5, but saw people online saying ads are present on LG.
I use shield anyway, but I will probably just follow your advice and set default input to the shield
Anybody have un-enshittified 4k tv recommendations?
Mainly want good picture quality for movies + high refresh rate for games.
~100mg - 300mg/day. That is 1 cup of coffee (espresso-based drink) to 3 max.
I try to limit myself to 1 now unless I am really tired or am having trouble focusing/thinking clearly. I was up to 2-3 every day, but it was messing with my anxiety more than I realized at first.
Disliking AI is fine and good. But that is a really dumb argument.
“60 employees who can’t be productive without the internet? And this is progress?”
“60 employees who can’t be productive without computers? And this is progress?”
“60 scribes who can’t be productive without clay tablets? And this is progress?”
Etc.
Edit: LLMs/AI are going to change some things. They are going to make (shitty) coding and various automations much more accessible. They are probably not a revolutionary technology like computers/internet, but that they could be a core part of some people’s workflow is absolutely not unthinkable. It has been shown that there have not, so far, been major boons to productivity on the whole, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have some use cases.
