We're on a decentralized message board that praises Linux and Self Hosting. We're not the target market for this stuff. My mother-in-law? She buys every damn Alibaba drop shipped trinket that promises whatever from a Facebook ad. My wife is constantly suckered into stuff advertised on Instagram.

I feel this would be better as a Photoshop job. Keep the same base and just change the pattern. I guess it might be hard to have the lines follow the shape of the body though

I find this one funny because we only see that icon on the device that has replaced that style phone, yet the device looks nothing like that

Only limitations seem to be my will to learn new stuff. I'm sure all this could be written in Python or something but I'm not a programmer.

I've been a programmer for 20 years. 100% of my personal projects are vibe coded now. Just throw AI at the code.

Not just public events but private ones too. I just invited 30 people to an event this month. There's a lot of people in there that I don't contact enough on a regular basis to get their email. It's really tough to put something like this together without Facebook these days

I used to have the PC setup. Ended up going for an Apple TV 4k. Yea it was $200 but it was a one time purchase 7 years ago and there's no ads. Just serve up everything though Plex and Infuse

Yea I always hear people say just hook up a PC or Pi but I don't want a keyboard and mouse in my livingroom. The value of these Apple TV / Roku / Google TV setups is you have a little remote and a UI that is designed around it with big visual elements you can see across the room. I'm surprised there seems to be so little movement on something like this.

I guess one issue is apps. The likes of Netflix wouldn't support it.

Yea but in reality that bar is continuing to thrive and the vast majority of the patrons don't care and are largely unaffected by the owner and they still carry nearly all of their favorite drinks even if a few have been taken off the menu.

We opened a new bar down the road with some of their favorite drinks and many times these drinks are empty bottles unless it's extremely popular or Penguin Co. and instead of focusing on making it a cool new place to hang out it's just a bunch of bitching about the old bar.

I found a bakery in town that does subs. You can get a brisket sub for the same price as subway with fresh bread and ingredients and the bread is wider than the skinny subway loaves so you get more overall

This is Garry Newman, he made Garry's Mod. He's not saying he's playing Fortnite, he's probably getting told about it because of his proximity to the tools that made the video in the first place

I watch a lot of movies, usually around 150+ per year. Apple offers one newish movie as the .99 rental per week which I'm happy to pay for but when they come asking for $25 for a digital rental for the rest of the new stuff... Get the fuck outta here.

It's crazy that I can subscribe to Spotify and get virtually the entire history of music but video services have completely fractured the model into tiny shards. I will continue to watch my 150+ movies a year whether the studios want to offer a reasonable price or not.

I've always preferred the 2 second rule. You don't need to do distance math in your head, just find a tree and count the time it takes to get from their car to yours.

Let them hop in and keep your 2 seconds. I used to have a 40 minute commute and on a busy morning would have 10-15 people do that. Know how much time that sets me back? 20 to 30 seconds. Following this rule I have a 25 year clean driving record and I guarantee these lane hoppers can't make that claim
