HOW DO YOU TURN THIS ON

I love Lemmy’s love for Technology Connections. It just feels so right!

Jewel, I’ll give you my fitness data when you clean up whatever has been reeking in the potato aisle for the last 3 months. What a trash ass grocery store.

I think this is what The Incredibles does very well. It throws you into a world with super heros, makes you think they’re cool, then shows you what would actually happen to them when they start “saving” people and smashing up infrastructure. Probably one of the best super hero movies out there.

I have an all around mutt that we tested and learned that among everything else, he has a good chunk of Lab DNA. But when we really found out that his personality was truly lab was when we took him to the lake and let him off leash. He could have run around the Forrest and chased squirrels which he loves to do, but instead he chose to run down to the pier and jump into the lake even though he had never done it before. Almost as if it was perfectly natural for him. He still hates baths tho 🤣

It’s framed very inaccurately in the news as well. You’ll see articles about how ford reports people aren’t buying their electric lineup. Meanwhile the dealership is marking them up so high that they are now priced too high for the target market. But the articles never mention that part

Bold claim when you remember all of the horrific UI that car manufacturers utilized before everyone started using Apple and Google’s UI. Sometimes I have to borrow an old car from someone and you just can’t find anything. Really, I’m more in favor of bringing back physical buttons for all basic functions, but a good UI will not only make it quick and easy to say change to the next song or view trip details, but it will also prevent you from performing more complicated tasks while in motion. We’ll see what GM’s solution is, but I have little faith.

I generally try to check every few years to see if they sell to the US yet. Last I checked they would finally ship FP4 to the US, but it will only work on T-Mobile :/ gonna check back in a few more years.

I’ll tell you what I want… Katamari Damaci online multi player. Imagine the final level where you roll up the world but with the mechanics of the multiplayer mode that was already in place. It’ll be like agar.io where you get bigger and you absorb other people as you get bigger or you get absorbed because you weren’t quick enough at growing. They could update the levels to be themed and add new items and Easter eggs for you to discover and pick up. I want this soooooo bad! I want to play with my friends and strangers. I want different play modes where you get the biggest in the time, pick up the most of a specific thing, capture the flag, use your katamari to play golf but it gets harder if you pick up weird shaped stuff that throws off your balance, Easter egg hunt, racing, team games where you absorb the enemy!!! I want it alllllll!!!

This is amazing! I haven’t opened up After Dark since I was a child!!! Thank you! I’m going to have to look through this for more nostalgia deep dives.

My issue is that I’m trying to use an image website to help alleviate the load on my instance. But for whatever reason the preview only seems to load if an image has been uploaded directly to the instance. Has anyone used a site that doesn’t have this issue?
