I mean, it’s not usual to find more modern books at a thrift store. Yeah a lot of them are old, but newer ones are there.

Even among the old ones there are some that are sought after, like Betty Crocker’s Cooky Book. Best snickerdoodles of my life.

Most pawn shops deal primarily with guns, tools, and jewelry. You’ll also find all kinds of electronics and collectibles, some places may have furniture too.

The other day I launched an old game and got met with an error, something about directX9 and missing a redistributable file or something. Decided not to fuck with it.

Yesterday I launched it again to take a closer look at the error message to see if I could fix it. No error message, game booted without issues.

My confusion.

I got 12/20 and most of the ones I got wrong are the ones I was second guessing myself on.

That sounds like roommates with extra sex- I mean steps.

I’d argue that some people are not tech savvy enough to figure that out. Whereas Lemmy is actually less complicated.

Release the kraken

I had read recently that opening the door while it’s running triggers an emergency shutoff that is quicker than normal operation. Apparently this is bad for the longevity of the microwave.

I found myself oddly invested in that.

Right now Relay for Reddit is working on a subscription model and has been granted a extension period. It’s currently free to use. Not sure if I’ll bother paying for it to stay on Reddit, but for now I can still use Reddit without the official app.

Memmy or mlem on iOS. Try those.

I’m still curious as to what is going to happen on the 1st and moving forward. I haven’t seen much news about whether or not moderation focused apps/bots will still work despite Reddit’s promises.

My bet is that effective moderation is going to drop significantly. Spam is going to increase to take advantage and trolls (whether to usual kind or as a form of protest) will run rampant. The user experience is going to suffer for the users that currently “don’t care”. And then Reddit will die.
