I've taken to the term 3rd-wave Trek for the 2010s-present shows to identify the stylistic differences in production compared to shows made in the 80s-90s or 60s.

Each era is molded by the media conventions of it's time. And there I go reinventing Marshal McLuhan again: "the medium is the message"

We try to, but when you're living paycheck to paycheck, trying to find solutions to the moving target that is your wife's fibromyalgia, have a growing, energetic baby boy, sometimes you can't afford paying twice as much or more for the product that isn't sold on amazon, assuming such an alternative exists.

Unfortunately, lots of people can't afford to shop with a conscience

Living without amazon prime is easy; living without amazon at all is more challenging with various manufacturers using amazon as their only storefront

I'm new to Linux; what's with the ThinkPad hype?

After 10 years of iOS, I made the switch to Graphene last month, and I'm loving it. Android Auto was functional for me, but none of the music apps were nice to use, so I've left my old iPhone in airplane mode in the car to keep playing my downloaded music.

I've not tried any other options since GrapheneOS is the only degoogled option I'm comfortable with

GrapheneOS is the only reason I'm willing to come within 30 miles of using Android

They don't seem to understand that the Israel/Palestine situation is not on the ballot this November; does anyone actually think Trump would oppose Israel? Even if he personally wanted to, his supporters are all nominal Christians who would turn on him in an instant if he suddenly stopped supporting God's Chosen People.

This is literally the setup for the show Leverage

Christian Nationalism is not Christianity, it is Joel Osteen’s health, wealth, and prosperity message scaled up to the Nation-state instead of the individual

Indeed! I left the Reddit comment and thought, “wait Lemmy is where it’s at, I need to comment there.” And so I did

Man those custom channel pages were so fun

Wow, I guess I am old, I remember when this is what YouTube used to look like.

Weird nostalgia trip; I definitely don't think it's better, but if I can scroll through comments and watch the video at the same time, I won't complain.

In the interest of de-centralization and sharing the load, I'm running Invidious here:
