No issues with the GPlay version on Android 11

due to the way the Fediverse works (servers hosted on many different machines rather than one large machine), text search isn't (officially) possible. on Mastodon you have the option of searching by hashtags, but I don't think that works on Lemmy.

you would have to use an external search engine like DuckDuckGo, Google or something like https://www.search-lemmy.com/

I started about September or October 2021, when clips of Myth and Pikamee began showing up in my YouTube Shorts feed when I was trying that out. I would watch a stream or clips here and there, but I would really only consider myself a casual fan.

That was until late February when it was announced Rushia's channel would be deleted at the end of March '22 after her "graduation". As someone who would have considered themselves a novice "datahoarder", I felt the need to save her channel. This consisted of waiting to buy a 4tb hard drive and getting it about mid-March, the next week-ish mainly fine-tuning my downloader, then the last week purely downloading for days on end.

And throughout all this, I would watch clips of her or pick a VOD that had downloaded; this was where I really fell down the rabbit hole. People from Hololive, Phase Connect, (then) WACTOR, idol, indies, etc. were popping up and I gleefully watched along.

Strangely also, it seems that most of my oshis have graduated at some time (Rushia, Vesper, WACTOR ES' Luna Rurine and Neon Kuroyuri, VOMS' Pikamee) but I still watch them now in their new forms.

(And the Archive grows.)

TLDR; No

It hasn't been necessary in a long time, unless you're a developer who frequently needs to type in filenames in everywhere (since the command line needs extra protection against spaces and other symbols)

The OS (Windows, Mac, Android, etc) handles thar all for you so you don't have to worry about it (unless you happen to use a badly-written program that doesn't understand spaces, but this is super rare to begin with, and more protected against as time goes on)

2013 is generous.

I would imagine 2° at 12 billion miles means it's almost certainly not pointing at anything man-made anymore, but I'm also not an astrophysicist so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Being that far out I don't even think we could go out and fix it anymore

Basically, the idea is that a server can refuse to serve you (or degrade your experience with captchas/heavier restrictions) unless you (your device) complete a "challenge". This could be something like the browser (through a system API) checking some device details like

  • root/admin
  • unlocked bootloader
  • extensions (either bad extensions or something like an Adblock)
  • VPN (potentially "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear")
  • installed apps (Adblock via DNS like blokada,
  • device emulation
  • TPM (generate secure key to make sure device is "real")
  • OS state (heavily modified?, untrusted OS?)

etc. Basically making sure the "environment" is clean and not tampered with (trusted).

The problem is with what defines a "trusted" environment. It could start at just making sure the device isn't rooted (like Android's Safetynet/Play Integrity check; most people don't root their device & don't/won't care, also easily justifiable since it can be a security vulnerability because the device is "wide open").

Then, like the article mentions, the device makers (Google (phones, chromebooks), Microsoft (Windows, Xbox), Apple (macOS, iOS, visionOS, etc), Meta/Facebook (Oculus), etc) could change their terms for attestation and deny approval on stricter, potentially anti-consumer criteria such as device age (forcing you to buy more things).

Not always; I have a rooted+unlocked LG v60 with Universal Safetynet Fix 2.2.1 (2 y.o. version) and MagiskHide Props Config 6.1.2.137 from just as long ago and my Google Wallet works perfectly fine.

Not to defend musk, but it's not from one specific font. The logo is just Unicode char 1D54F, a blackboard bold X/"MATHEMATICAL DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL X"

$100 is a very strict budget, especially nowadays. You would have to be hunting for used parts on services like FB Marketplace, Offerup, Craigslist, etc. I started with an old workstation a few years ago (i5 3470, 4gb ram, 250gb hdd) and upgraded that for a while ( 4->20gb ram, gt 1030->1050->1060 (had to buy a seperate psu for this one), 1tb ssd+4tb hdd, etc). Having people you know also interested in PCs can also be important, since you can be first in line when they upgrade (that's how I got a 1070ti for $50 !!).

But I would really recommend getting a job when you can; money will come in like you've never seen before. If you get a $15/hour job (assuming you're in the USA, but really applicable anywhere) and work your weekends, that's $200 a week. You'll be good to get lots of upgrades or a whole new machine in not too much time. Even at $10/hr you won't be suffering for long.

also got confused; this was posted 3 years ago but Hot sort seems to be pulling up a bunch of old posts

learning to use tone correctly and actively thinking about it (as opposed to passively using it like others do) can definitely be tiring since it's basically an exercise to your mind. the only way to get to the "passive use" state is to do it until it doesn't get tiring anymore.

however, the stressed->blunt part does sounds like a normal response, since that tone seems to convey your emotions at that time. if you're feeling stressed alot for this to be common, i would also try to manage stress better, like cutting up tasks into easily manageable parts (but don't cut them too small, as that can make them unmanageable and hard to keep track of!) and giving yourself time to destress by doing things you like to do (video games, shows, videos, music, ... hobbies in general, ...), but also don't overdo it and leave you actual responsibilities behind

(remember that this comment, like most here, comes from experience, not study so might not work for you or need tweaking)
