There is no ‘good’ reason for destruction. Not even ideological. This is simple planned greed

It’s almost the same as how physical media is being phased out even in gaming, greed and preventing ownership. I can probably go on Annas Archive right now and get all the books I could ever want, but I still want to have physical books if they decide to metaphorically burn down the library of Alexandria and take down The Internet Archive and Annas archive. I feel like we are losing valuable information at an alarming rate, If the original books are lost and only the digital books remain, then what if someone edits/deletes the books to change history? Scary shit imo.

Edit: Sorry for all the typos :(

This makes me so sad I almost wanna cry. How fucking heartless do you have to be to destroy books like some nazi book burning ritual? FFS as if I didnt despise AI enough already. Regulate AI into oblivion.

Sainsbury marketplace?

Anyway…

The rest were bots so they weren’t counted

Daily reminder that 2½ gallon size ziplock bags exist, and they are perfect for putting away pizza when the box won’t fit in the fridge!

Damn everything is a monopoly here…

What’s the new carrier? I want to ditch T-Mobile they are ripping us off. I was thinking about switching to Mint mobile.

Edit: Thanks for the heads up and suggestions. I’ll avoid Mint and take a look into US Mobile.

I am really glad to read stuff like this. Not because I like seeing someone struggle, but rather it makes me feel less alone that I am not the only one getting frustrated with things that seemingly work perfectly for everyone else that I run into every error/obstacle in the book lol. If I post for help in online forums like Lemmy, the replies make me feel so stupid and sometimes the replies are even condescending, which is extremely demotivational at times and makes me not want to ever ask to get it fixed. But eventually I get there and say screw all that and keep on going till it works. I’m happy you posted this and got your problem fixed my friend.

Also extremely relatable with the media server that friends and family refuse to use while paying like $30 a month on stupid subscriptions lmao

Now you can’t yell at strangers for taking pictures of your ass.

“I’m just scanning the code bro!”

Let’s gooo!! That’s actually the same reason for me too, as a kid I’ve always wanted one of these. Now I get to live those memories!

Oh sorry about that, I’ll edit the post. I assumed G5 was the model and that Intel was the CPU. I’m very unfamiliar with Apple stuff lol but yeah I’m cleaning the keyboard and wiping it all down. So far it’s very neat and I’m nerding out over the aqua UI!

Oh wow nice, I was just about to ask if it could run any games! Thank you so much. I am loving exploring old OS’s. I think I’m going to keep it on MacOS. I was messing around with GarageBand and that was pretty fun.

The only issue is I think my “password workaround” may have messed up some things. Notice how in my screenshot that some of my icons like Safari are missing? They don’t launch either. I should probably add what I actually did to get around the password from a YT guide:

The old owners files are all still there despite me making a new account. I don’t think my workaround method did an actual factory reset, rather it just deleted the apple setup file and tricks it into thinking it’s a new install. I’m planning on copying all the old owners personal files to a flash drive and returning it to him before I try to install anything.

Thank you! I’ll take a look into that.

Edit: Yeah, this thing is heating up the room!

I know what option I’m going with.

Ah man, I’m sorry about that. After getting some sleep, I realize that I should have just edited my comment to be clearer lol

I don’t know why you’re assuming I didn’t read the article… Or why people think I said that he’s somehow in on it or something nefarious. I know he’s exposing it, that’s why I made the comment.

Guess we’ll know where moist cr1tikal lives now.

He is crossing his legs
