the adventurer/outdoorsman brand positioning for the apple watch ultra is pretty dumb, it can just be a watch for internet nerds who want 3 day battery life. it's not like my toughbook being waterproof ever mattered

the new apple watch siren isn't loud enough to be called a siren tbh. it's pretty quiet.

the noose tightens further. mint mobile will not issue you a free isim (required for using service on a sim-free iphone 14) without a payment card on the account, even if you have purchased a prepaid activation kit. the payment card is not charged, esims are free.

i watched a random youtube recommendation today and i think Morgan Eckroth is my new celebrity crush

eth is $1337

the mobile phone with the best camera hardware available does not allow e2e encrypted syncing of the photos you take on the device. you have to use icloud photos. icloud photos are not end to end encrypted so apple and the fbi can read them all.

does anyone know of any photo sync apps for ios that work continuously that can talk to my own devices?

i really really really miss syncthing on mobile. it's the only thing i truly miss from graphene.

i want to publish my photos. i'd like to do so in a beautiful way, on my own website, managed via a web backend. i'd like to do so without any dependencies on google, without using php, and in a way that supports either rss or activitypub or both.

is selfhosting pixelfed my best bet? is there like an open source flickr clone?

i am unable to understand the angle being pushed by western media that says putin/russia benefits strategically from the destruction of those gas pipelines. russia is a petrostate and not being able to sell gas hurts the nation directly and indirectly.

it is becoming impossible to use ebay with a vpn, much like etsy and most event ticketing websites.

whoever blew up the nord stream is a genius. perfect strategic move. now even if everyone capitulates this winter because it's fucking cold, russia will not get paid.

3090s appear to be going for about $800-900 now and not the $3300 i paid for mine. i did not get $2500 of fun out of mine.

signal's serverside contact storage sgx handwavey bullshit is, in fact, bullshit, and should be called out more and better.

amazon killed my account the other day because i tried to buy a gift card for my friend while i was traveling abroad. it was legitimate. they refused to reopen the account and suggested i make a new one.

i bought a $500 prepaid amazon gift card for cash and made a new account with a new email.

guess which account also got suspended today.
