Sturdy, somewhat shock-proof and waterproof

As serviceable / repairable as possible

Yea those two are a bit tough to find together on a phone. I mean you have fairphones which are very repairable, but it’s only splash resistant, not submerge resistant.

But I found this phone called Nokia XR21 which is $499 and is has IP rating of IP68/IP69K and it’s build as a rugged phone which is very resistant to drops. 6.49 inch display and has a 3.5mm headphone jack! No removable battery tho. It has 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of monthly security updates. Personally this phone looks great to me, but this is a midrange and they don’t make flagships so I went with a Samsung Galaxy S23.

Never used a foldable phone. Looks cool, but too bad its not dust resistant and the curved display is very weak against scratches. A hinge in a phone just further shorten it’s lifespan. I wouldn’t use them until it’s not only water-resistant, but also dust proof, and the hinge better outlast the lifespan of the rest of the phone. Considering the high price and also comes with so much drawbacks, they aren’t for the average person. It’s a rich person’s toy.

Found the hacker that defaced lemmy.world

Was?

Lol I thought you were gonna push someone down the stairs.

No thanks, the plot in wikipedia is horrifying enough to read, I ain’t watching that shit.

Lol there’s only 4 animes I watched: Death Note, Steins;Gate, Mirai Nikki (Future Diary), and Zankyou no Terror (Terror in Resonance). I find most animes boring. In fact, the ones I watched is solely because of the plot, I don’t like the media style of animations, I prefer live-action content (although I understand it’s difficult to find actors and special effects that can portray the story as well as the anime, and there’s budget concerns. Shinigamis would look ridiculous in live-action).

As for cartoons, there’s only 2 that ever watched: Futurama and Rick and Morty (although sometimes I find R&M a bit too “edgy”)

Using Tor is considered terrorist activity in France

Why couldn’t the US just do the same?

Internet freedom and privacy needs not only needs protection by technological tools like Tor or VPNs, but also needs legal protection. Would anyone use Tor if the government starts raiding houses? Tor users are such a small minority that the government can easily throw you all in prison.

The Americans was boring af. Stopped watching early on.

I already finished Dark, I loved it, although the “You can’t change fate” type of theme is a bit annoying. I watched 12 Monkeys (the TV show, not movie) which is anothet time-travel series and the atmosphere was not as dark (pun intended), and much more “chill” to watch.

The genres I like are: Science-Fiction, Alt-History, Political (but not too “real”)

I liked watching:

The Magicians
The Expanse
The Good Place
For All Mankind
Man in the High Castle
(it was dark, but alt-history isn't really realistic so it wasn't that horrifying to watch)
Travelers
12 Monkeys (TV, not the movie)
Game of Thrones (minus season 8, that doesn't exist for me)
Breaking Bad
Designated Survivor
Kingdom (the Netflix Original that's in Korean)
Fringe

Some movies I liked were:

Terminator 2
Interstellar
The Martian
1917
Dunkirk
Back to the Future 1-3
Star Wars 1-6
12 Angry Men

Why is there always an authoritarian law being proposed every month?

Mini-series are so rare. It’s either Movie or TV for most video content

“This instance has been seized by The US Department of Defence due to threats to national security”

The Wire is really not what I’d enjoy watching. I got to the point where the cop and the gang had some confrontation and the cop was intructed by his superior to lie and claim that he “feared for his life”. At that point I just fucking can’t continue watching. Too real for my liking. I want to watch tv for escapism, not to be reminded how shitty real life is.

Care to share? I’m a bit bored.

Cars don’t rip you apart molecularly, unless you get into a crash. A teleporter will rip you apart every time. This isn’t a discussion of the “safety” of teleporters, it’s a discussion of what consciousness is.

Okay so in most cases, teleportation is instantaneous. But if you tamper with the disassembler, now can “teleport” yourself to a new location while the old you is still there. Now there’s 2 bodies that look like you. So which one is you. Does your consciousness shift into the new body or stay with the old one? Or does your conciousness control both bodies?

For a ship, yes. For a living organism with consciousness… I’m not so sure.

The real one? You mean you have a clone? 😆

I’m pretty sure that future billionaire me seems like a cool guy, I’m totally not biased.

Eat the rich, except if I become rich, then I’m exempt because I am a honorary proletariat

/s but seriously tho, if anyone becomes a billionaire, they’ll soon get corrupted by the wealth
