I feel like there’s an XKCD where either the black hat guy or cueball do basically this, but shockingly I can’t find it.

I thought this was a Tesla at first and I hoped he’d gotten a free vanity plate from a clever DMV worker.

I have the jlab version and they’re comfortable enough, but they’re pinching the side of your ear so they do get uncomfortable after a while. I still prefer them to standard earbuds, but I’m also prone to ear infections so…

Keep in mind sound quality probably isn’t quite on par with similar priced earbuds, but they’re great for podcasts. +1 for these being a “glad I bought them” impulse buy.

I started using Bazzite last year and it’s fantastic, but modding seems to be a bit of a headache on it right now. I think Nexus Mod Manager is going to really help that once its got more than Stardew working though.

Okay Gaston

Is that true everywhere or just in the US? I know that, at least a few years ago, a bunch of banking software in the US was still in COBOL but parts of Western Europe were modernizing their banking industry. I’m probably going back to school for computer science in the fall and had been considering trying to learn COBOL in my free time, or learning more Fortran (I have actually taken a programming class with Fortran, but because it was aimed at beginners it didn’t really go in depth, but I bet it’d look good on certain resumes). It’s looking like my future is in Europe somewhere, so I’m keeping that in the back of my mind while making decisions.

OP has said Cornish Rex in another post IIRC, they’ve got several goofy looking kitties.

I love the standard twist-erase, I bought a bunch of them in college and still use them. What’s different about the GT?

My mom is Jewish and I’d been considering doing one of those DNA tests until that data leak happened, I was glad I hadn’t done it.

I don’t know Brum but Shum slaps.

Because LeninsOvaries is such a silly username I wanted to draw attention to it.

I’d bet money that’s satire and only one of you had the ovaries to not mark it as such.

These kinds of verbal slip ups are universal, look how many comments and up votes this post has.

It’s funny, just laugh about it, nobody should agonize over this funny and harmless bit of being a human.

Found Quentin Tarantino’s Lemmy account.

although their single mention of LGBT+ has an asterisk next to it which doesn’t seem to reference anything

That’s an interesting acronym choice in 2025 and I would actually guess the employee group picked it themselves maybe a decade ago. The asterisk became fairly common in queer tech circles and it had started popping up outside of tech about a decade ago but has fallen out of favor and it’s only tech I see it in anymore. The * is a wildcard character, exactly like in programming.

Sometime around 2019-ish they locked them down hard and it’s not possible to jailbreak them and put custom firmware on it, however I’m pretty sure you can still put the play store on it, I’ve side loaded it on my 2021 model but it’s still awful because of Amazon.

Ugh.
