You try to vibe code a dinner scheduling app and instead it accidentally comes out as a dating app for "fertile chicks who are like into hentai" but they all get matched with Elon and it's unusable anyway because it's white text on a white background
I'm an American who lives just outside London in Watford, and I'm 17 minutes from Euston Station by train. I have been all over the city and never felt unsafe or nervous or even the need to be especially vigilant. When people say there's "gun crime" here they mean that once every few months someone fires a gun and it makes the national news. I've lived all over the American West and it's safer than even the rural towns I've lived in. All of this stuff is hilariously overblown, and when other British people talk about how dangerous London is, keep in mind it's like Farmer Giles talking about how Hobbiton is too big and full of futtiners who talk funny. To an American it's hilarious. It's, like, kids with boxcutters. For anyone who's ever lived in an American city like LA, this really is the Shire. It's all right-wing propaganda cooked up by Faragewald Mosley and his Temu bootboys.
For people who make their entire personalities about what their grandpa did in the War, they're sure seem hellbent on acting exactly like the people he did it to.
I'm a brit who was born in and lives in Watford. I was mugged at knifepoint on oxford street in 2019, and have personally witnessed multiple phone thefts. Non-fatal knife crime is very high, the statistics don't lie in that regard. I hope you don't have the right to vote, because your denial of reality is doing irreparable harm to my country.
Oh no, his assistant will be buying all his groceries at a Florida Whole Foods instead of a California one and he'll be topping up his private jet at the Miami Airport instead of Oakland oh noooo how will California survive
I'm working on a simple electron based launcher app for my XReal Air2 Pro AR glasses, which are the display for my Raspberry Pi cyberdeck. Nothing fancy, just an easy touch interface that uses luminosity-based transparency to make a goofy little cyberpunk HUD.
I switched to Qobuz a couple of weeks ago and I think I'm gonna cancel my Spotify subscription soon. It's got a better catalogue for the slightly obscure stuff I like and they pay artists much better.
Aside from that, I've got my entire music collection backed up on multiple drives (mostly by accident) and I bought an iPod Classic last year, upgraded the battery and storage, and I've got it all on there too, and it'll play for like a month straight on one battery charge now. Standby was six months easily.
I'm actually gonna turn a Pi Zero into a touchscreen Winamp clone by using Audacious or another app that uses Winamp skins. The main benefit of this is that I can connect it to my Bluetooth home speakers and use it.
My current Samsung doesn't have an SD card, but for my old phone, I just copied all my music to a 128GB micro SD and played it using BlackPlayer.
I'm thinking of getting a newer, cheaper music device because retrofitting Bluetooth into an iPod Classic is a bit of a bitch.
I sync my history between Fire/Waterfox on my phone and laptops, and since almost anything I wanna copy and paste is in the browser, I just open whatever it is from Other Devices. For files or images, I use LocalSend now for everything.
Which is not to say there's not a big use case for this, but speaking only for myself, it's not a pain point. But it looks cool!
