see my other comment, the framework includes “MPP 2.0 and USI 2.0 stylus support”, so it should be able to use other pens it if the one they sell isn’t to your liking.

The Framework 12 lists “MPP 2.0 and USI 2.0 stylus support”, so you can use other pens with it, I think. Your stylus won’t be repairable, but perhaps if you complain at Framework loudly enough they might eventually release a higher quality stylus themselves.

If it’s a limitation of the machine’s hardware/the protocol they support, complain at them for that instead. I’m not an artist so I don’t actually find myself needing/using a pen often, thus I don’t know whether that means it has good or bad pen support, but it certainly sounds like it supports SPs.

The Framework 12 actually seems really ideal for this, being that it has a 360 degree hinge and works properly with Linux.

It’s also expensive as fuck, but then, you can repair and upgrade it, and I’ve heard Surface tablets are an absolutely miserable experience to try repairing. So up to you if the upfront cost is worth less pain down the road.

I don’t know either, but I’d say my original point stands. “nothing” is still shorter than saying “everything”

I think it’d take less time to write down the things that aren’t.

Wait, YouTube’s idea of punishing ad-block is removing the most toxic, worthless part of the site?

Nobody tell them. Not one fucking word. We might even get them to remove Shorts, too, if we pretend this is a bad thing.

“Can you text that to me?”

“Why?”

“Because if you don’t, I will forget half and misremember the rest. If you value your time and mine, you will text me or write this down for me.”

and I don’t even have adhd, just a really shitty memory sometimes

Either it’s not real and you’re asleep, or it’s real and sleep won’t be a concern for you shortly anyhow.

You’ll be pleased to hear, then, that the song is actually about a woman who cheats on her boyfriend after he joins the military.

I was using em dashes before AI made them uncool, no fuckass thieving robot is gonna make me change my typing.

I just thought I’d clarify as that’s an insult to Mr. Goggins, he looks nowhere near as bad as post-surgery Carrey.

no, I believe that’s Walton Goggins if I’m not mistaken.

I assure you, the enshittification of music streaming services is already here. Even before Spotify went completely to shit there were some things that just couldn’t be found on the platform, and others still that I used to listen to suddenly becoming unavailable.

I, and a lot of other people, pirate music now because (among other reasons) having a hard drive full of MP3s or FLACs is something no corporation can arbitrarily decide to take away from you at any time.

The last game I pirated was Driver: San Francisco a couple years ago, because you couldn’t (still can’t? maybe?) buy it anywhere except for like, second-hand physical media, and I am not going through that hassle. I can’t even remember the game I last pirated before that (Probably Sims 4, because fuck EA and fuck that laundry list of DLC – but I can’t be sure).

Music, movies, and TV shows, though? Oh yeah, baby, that’s a weekly activity now. Netflix I dumped many years ago when the fracturing of content to twenty different streaming services happened, and Spotify I dumped just this last year for a few different reasons (the CEO donating to AI weapons programs, introducing a fuckass AI DJ, ICE ads, getting fed up with songs I either can’t find or can find but aren’t available in my region, or could listen to and enjoyed and then having them suddenly become unavailable, etc…)

I’m sure, someday, Steam will enshittify. Probably shortly after Gabe dies – and it will be a dark day for me and millions of gamers worldwide. But for now, I’m more than happy to let Gabe empty my wallet with sales and convenience, because the gettin’s been good for a couple decades and will likely remain so for another couple. I can’t say the same for music, movies, and TV; I don’t know if I’ll ever end up paying for them again unless the distributors involved sort their shit out.

Do yourself a huge favor and download Nicotine+ (which is a client for Soulseek, you can also use the official SoulseekQt I guess but it’s old and not as feature-rich). That and Spek to make sure you don’t get any fake bitrate files from people.

The only two real downsides to Soulseek, imo, are the fact that a lot of the chatrooms are basically unmoderated IRC (So many nazis to ignore. So many.), and the problem of fake bitrates. The huge upside is you can find pretty much any and everything on there if you wait for the right people to be online to share it. I’ve found quite a few rare albums and such that I couldn’t get from my usual gettin’ places.

the fact that Gabe said “piracy is a service problem” fifteen fucking years ago, and none of these fuckwits in content distribution have learned this at all is a source of continuous astonishment to me.

“the birth of superintelligent life”

Whoever wrote this couldn’t huff their own farts harder if they tried.

the calm before the storm.

I would unironically sooner become an actual hermit and never socialize again than give these cretins my ID or even trust that they’ll delete an age verification photo. Knowing Discord? yeah, no, absolutely fucking not

The Sturmabteilung (SA), also known as the brownshirts are more apt. ICE is far too bumbling, incompetent and obvious to be the Geheime Staatspolizei, or secret state police.
