okay yeah that’s fair

only the finest CRT for the finest kino

Nah, nah, I’m not saying that the text was AI image generated in any way. I just suspect that the image (after the text was put in place by a human) was fed through some enhancer/upscaler. I remember seeing a comic a while ago that reeked of AI, but it turns out that it was a fully human-made comic fed through some AI cartoon enhancer (for… some reason? The original looked fine. Maybe to steal credit?).

I do doubt that any of what I described is the case, though. I feel like the text would look less crisp if so.

I do wholeheartedly believe the icons were generated separately still.

Could be that just the icons are AI generated, or the whole image was fed through an AI upscaler/enhancer to sharpen the image.

Thank you. I could kiss you like a mother.

Alright, is there some super-populated center for enthusiast nerds who make Androids less 1984 and shit? Like, the fdroid sub or something? I’m still on the ol’ Tim Cooker but when this thing croaks I’m switching teams. I don’t need Google getting sloppy seconds, though.

I mean, feels like everyone has a phone these days. Surely some niche sect of Internet nerds has a cutting edge solution for this shit.

Is it just GrapheneOS with FDroid apps? What about Google Play Store apps, can I use those without getting fucked? Can I retain nearly every stock feature on an Android without selling my soul to Google? Which Android phone should I buy if I want things to run smoothly with the modifications I need to make? (Are those new touch flip-phones on the menu? Are they more durable now? I fantasize about DS emulation, and slapping my phone together to hang up on people. I just remember hearing all about the highly scratch-able screens and hinge problems.)

dude no you can’t put peashooters in the back lanes you have to use cabbagepults stop

yeahh I’ll give you that tbh they do undercook the curly fries a lot of the time

But do you ever hear people say that‽ It’s always “gutter food that makes you shit,” never “undercooked curly fries.”

Gah. I’m peeved, man.

See?! This shit is what I mean. Did Arby’s CEO do something to piss off some Hollywood big-wig?! Why is this shit so prevalent?!?? It’s normal fast food, man!!

dude FUCK all this Arby’s slander online and on TV, man. That Family guy skit, every “vagina burger” post, y’all are just raking Arby’s through the coals for the hell of it, arent’cha?

They have good sandwiches, man!! Ever had a smokehouse brisket? Those things are pretty good! French Swiss? Even better, is you ask me. And the shakes, the SHAKES! Good shit.

AND instead of doing that annoying “start shit with other companies for fun” schtick every brand Twitter account did, they make food art of various franchises! It’s cool shit!

The rustic, warm theming of the restaurants themselves, too. It’s just a nice place to sit down and enjoy a meal with friends on a road trip. You’ll dare your friend to chug a triple pepper sauce packet raw or some shit. It’s nice.

Fuck all of you for slandering Arby’s. We are not friends.

Ohh. My bad.

Tech influencer folks predict a 2026 drop for the second revision, so if you can wait that long (or trust these predictions they’re making) I’d wait.

I feel like people have gotten Stockholm syndrome from phones with new generations every year.

Current hardware still works fine. If you have frame troubles, lower settings and mess with your battery/performance profiles.

Do not solve the problem by offering to give companies another 500 of your dollars.

(If you’re playing your Deck at home and have a beefy PC, though, you can always stream from your PC to your deck for better performance! On most networks, there’s virtually 0 latency! Highly recommend.)

Bingo! They described the entire process and outcome. As my memory serves, they felt like they could kill god in the state they were in.

Isn’t this the guy who boofed a monster energy popsicle to see if it caffeinated him? Or was that a different post?

Lifehack!! Add before:2026 to the end of any YouTube search and it will no longer show you “also recommended for you” or “people also watched” bullshit. Just the search results you should have been shown in the first place will remain.

Oh right, shit

I forgot that Amazon Prime was more than content streaming

Uhhhhh

Replace Amazon Prime with patience and foresight

Could always pick up piracy. Hard to beat a 100% off coupon.

Simply pick up uBlock Origin and browse some community-vetted streaming sites on FMHY. (Short for Free Media Heck Yeah, a site that showcases community-vetted sites.)

That’s just streaming, no downloading. Simply find streams of whatever shows you’re invested in and binge as usual!

I’ve even gone as far as taking old laptops of mine and having them full screen these sites on startup. Then, I simply hook the laptop up to my TV via HDMI, plug in a Bluetooth keyboard, and binge away!
