MashedTech, in So that's it, huh? We're some kind of Suicide Squad?

What are your opinions on The Magicians?

Crashumbc,

Never watched enough to get a feel. I could not stand the whiney main character kid. He was like nails on a chalk board annoying…

cheesebag,

Haha, have you read the books? It is a million times worse / more pretentious. The show was camp, which was at least kinda fun. Definitely an improvement anyway

the_artic_one,

Cheesey as hell but still loveable.

herrvogel,

The show where they have to sex each other in super sexy horny sex to cast some spell. Yeah sex magic wooo!! And what does the spell do? It just creates a column of light that some guy can use as a beacon to navigate.

My eyes rolled so hard I saw the back of my own skull.

I did not like the constant tonal shifts between silly magic frat boys and depressing magical apocalypse.

Breaking Bad’s second season. Fuck that bullshit about airplane crash. Especially the black and white teases throughout the episode.

Strawberry, in So that's it, huh? We're some kind of Suicide Squad?

They have to have bad writing because otherwise it will be canceled 2 seasons in to a 3 season story arc

Somehow Palpatine returned

Fleamo,

You know I’ve seen every other mainline Star Wars and several of the one-offs and TV shows but I never got around to this one and I haven’t really felt like I missed out.

dasgoat,

Same. I read about it in memes mostly and at some point I was like ‘alright that’s enough of that’.

Zahille7,

You’re right.

This thing again. Palpatine is in a room full of cloning tanks talking about having unnatural powers. Next scene characters mention cloning and dark powers. It’s just Poe doesn’t know how it happened (he’s not omniscient) and doesn’t much care. Fascism returned and he’s going to fight against it, that’s all he needs to know.

It’s explained but the hot take internet reactions missed it. And then memes were created to brag about being to stupid to understand something that happened in a Star Wars movie that a child could understand.

Somehow you don’t understand what things mean in a Star Wars movie. Congratulations!

rimjob_rainer, (edited )

Somehow all efforts from episode 4-6 were in vain and Anakin wasn’t the chosen one again because throwing Palpatine into the death star core didn’t have any impact on anything. Somehow they made everything Luke, Leia und Han achived pointless. Somehow cloning was easily achievable with some dark powers and somehow Palpatine cloned himself and chilled for a few dozen years. Somehow Palpatine was a father and somehow Rei was his granddaughter.

Yes just like my Grandfather fought in WWII in vain because fascism has returned to our world.

Except the fact that evil can return doesn’t actually mean opposing evil is in vain.

Also, you may be slightly not getting the point of Star Wars if you think that we’re supposed to believe Anakin is the chosen one and everyone is supposed to respect his greatness. Yes this is what Anakin believed of himself, but how did that go for him?

Luke was meant to kill his evil father (or rule at his side), it was his destiny. Luke refused that destiny, how did that work out for him? Pretty good until the real evil Empire (the Disney Corporation) came along.

Star Wars isn’t really about making prophecies come true. It’s about rejecting them and finding a better way.

You’re a Star Wars fan, you’re meant to reject the fascist ideals of past greatness, not conform to them! Have a balanced take on Star Wars, not leave it in darkness!

I know from your point of view JJ Abrams is evil, But only a Sith deals in absolutes.

Nalivai,

Counterpoint: several flashy videos on the Internet told me that space samurai wisard films are bad now because there is a mean woman there and no kinky costumes.

swooosh, in But hey, at least everyone supports webp now.

Since when can apple play it?

lud,

Safari got full support in march 2023

The newest version of edge which is currently in beta also supports it

Why do you think my old ass bought a fair phone

papertowels, (edited )

If you don’t mind me asking, what country are you in?

I know murena sells in the US, but I’ve always avoided it because it seems like buying parts is still going to be a PITA, and what’s the point of a repairable phone if you can’t get parts?

ignotum,

Same here

They say stuff like repairability, durability, not using child slavery, yada yada not important

the easily replaceable battery is what really caught my eye and brought me to the yard!

Gradually_Adjusting,
@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

I wouldn’t…

You know what, never mind. Don’t sell past sold lmao

Kidplayer_666,

I kinda hate the fact they took of the headphone jack. Conveniently, they started selling their own buds with that launch

Gradually_Adjusting,
@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

I miss that too. The perfect phone doesn’t exist.

foggy, in Why the hell did that stop

The craziest part to me is that it wasn’t until they started forcing them to be stuck inside phones all the time that they started exploding. And yet the FTC still doesn’t give a shit

TheGrandNagus,

I mean it’s not that crazy. If they’re removable, you need to design the batteries themselves to be a bit more rugged and harder to puncture.

I.e. cladding the cells in a relatively thick metal casing rather than a thin pouch

ArbitraryValue, (edited ) in Why the hell did that stop

A couple of years ago I got fed up with replacing phones because the battery wouldn’t hold a charge, so I bought a new-in-box, then-six-year-old LG V20. It has some problems, chiefly bizarrely poor reception, but by God it has a removable battery and a headphone jack! I was going to replace it with the Fairphone when that came to the USA but when I saw how expensive the Fairphone was, I decided to stick with the V20.

(The funny thing is that by the time I need to replace the battery, I probably won’t be able to buy one anymore.)

@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

I still won’t buy a phone without a microSD slot.

GET OFF MY LAWN!

TheGrandNagus,

What phones even still do? Sonys? Low end Samsungs? Fairphone?

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Right now running a Samsung Galaxy A53.

DannyBoy,

Moto G Pure from 2021 doesn’t have much but it’s got an SD card slot and a headphone jack.

bobs_monkey,

My Xperia 1 V has one, but it shares the same space with the 2nd sim card slot, which I use.

Revan343,

My Motorola does

Maven,

Crazy how every time someone asks what brand even supports some previously-normal feature, the answer is always Motorola. Headphone jack, FM radio, SD card, stylus…

BB69,

Why

9Bsk3IVAnlAYf, (edited )

I like that all of my media is on a removable card I can pop in any device I want and it doesn’t interfere with system files and apps. Makes the initial setup of a new device much easier, not to mention backing it up to my hard drive (cp -r * /media/user/whatever_disk and I’m done).

Revan343,

What a dumb question

usualsuspect191,

Cheap, easily expandable expandable memory

GeneralEmergency,

Because the march of time terrifies them.

danc4498,

28 net downvotes so far for asking “why”. I think Lemmy is becoming more toxic than Reddit was.

MisterMcBolt,

It’s always a day away, isn’t it?

@idunnololz@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah. It’s really weird how this always happens. Guess we’ll never know why. 😔

@TheSpermWhale@lemmy.world avatar

Coz batteries degrade over time, and this way you’re either forced to buy a new phone, or have to pay to have the battery replaced

bobs_monkey,

It’s also 10x easier to achieve IP67 water resistance with the battery sealed off. Having a removable battery would require more engineering contrary to shareholders’ wishes.

dejected_warp_core,

This also contributes to the bulk of the device. IIRC, at the time things shifted to sealed designs, Apple and others were competing to make phones as thin, wide, and tall as possible. But that’s not really an excuse; we can probably do better nowadays.

betterdeadthanreddit, in Jack of all

That’s what makes it jacking, nobody says you have to finish.

Resol, in So that's it, huh? We're some kind of Suicide Squad?
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Apparently a internet web series named Battle for Dream Island suffered from this right around the second half of its fourth season. Let’s just say that this is when it has hit its lowest point ever.

Midnight1938,

Havent heard that name in a while

Resol,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Good for you, the newer episodes are pretty average.

Midnight1938,

New episodes dont exist. They are in the imagination of needy

Resol,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

By the time I’m writing this reply, you probably already got slapped.

teft, in Lemmy in nutshell?
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

Squeeze your glutes every few minutes while you’re on the can. That should prevent the numbness.

Kusimulkku,

No can do, I’m not there to work out!
