I feel the same way. I find it near miraculous I didn't fall into the trap that's being sold to young men these days.

I'm hesitant to share too much of my own story, but it makes me feel real sympathy for the guys being ridiculed for following Tate and such. I know the leaders are garbage, but its hard to not feel attacked when I hear the general internet lashing out at the followers for being ensnared.

I know what its like to be young and dumb, to be told you have so much potential, but then to also feel direction-less and like a loser.

I know the leaders are charlatans that are selling snake oil...but I don't know what to tell these guys to get them unhooked from that crowd.

Any tips on how to better use Obtanium?

At a glance, it seems to give me what I've always wanted (that is, access to all the switches and levers behind the scenes), but it is a bit overwhelming to start with.

I like your logic. I'll need to chew on that thought to make sure I agree, but that's a really good point.

 

Just recently took the leap to Graphene OS from stock android.

One problem I'm having is getting my apps and keeping them updated. Obviously I've been trying to use F-Droid, Accrescent, and the Grapheme provided app store where I can, but work and friends require me to have apps not available there.

I've been using Aurora Store for everything else, but it seems really buggy (tons of instances where apps won't update, will need ~3 tries to properly install, will notify me there was an error when the app clearly installed, etc). Additionally, I saw somewhere that Aurora store has some privacy/security issues (but didn't dive deeper to see what was meant by that).

I've read Obtanium is another option, but it looks like that still will not meet all my needs.

I suppose I should also say that I'm hesitant to use the Play Store / Play Services at all. I get there's sandboxing around them that makes them less invasive, but I don't full grasp how Graphene accomplishes that / what specifically it prevents.

What are you guys using for your App Stores? Should I just put aside my concerns and trust the sandboxed Play Store?

Appreciate your attention and consideration on this!

I would argue the traces on a PCB are the same as wires. They take the same form (highly conductive material thats insulated on all sides) and do the same thing (carry electrical signal between two devices with minimal interference)

You're not wrong. I make enough money at my current work that I'm hoping to be able to stop working w/i about 10 years (I'd be in my mid 40's) and then go do some kind of outdoors work (ideally as a park ranger or game warden) where I'd be able to get back to my redneck roots and be away from the city 75% of the time.

I'd take a substantial pay cut for the opportunity.

Yeah, story, characters, and weapons were dumbed way down in 4, and let's not forget the endlessly repeatable quests.
shivers in "Another Settlement Needs Our Help"

But the gameplay was def cranked up several notches (drugs actually doing something useful, the ability to sprint, a dedicated grenade button + slot, properly executed power armor, etc)

Was using F-droid for the longest time as primary app store (where I could).

This comment inspired me to swap to droidify though. A month-ish in and I'm super pleased with everything since I swapped.

Just wanted to tag in with my own personal support for this recommendation.

I think thats a thesis that hasn't been properly peer reviewed (though it does have some clinical evidence), which is to say its not widely accepted as a reason for it to exist (but that that may be changing).

 

I'm a tech interested guy. I've touched SQL once or twice, but wasn't able to really make sense of it. That combined with not having a practical use leaves SQL as largely a black box in my mind (though I am somewhat familiar with technical concepts in databasing).

With that, I keep seeing [pic related] as proof that Elon Musk doesn't understand SQL.

Can someone give me a technical explanation for how one would come to that conclusion? I'd love if you could pass technical documentation for that.

 

I've heard Reddit is setting themselves up for another major fumble and that it relates to how much Spez is a fanboy of Elon Musk.

I can't find any details on the drama playing out though. Can someone explain the details of what's going on?

I would love to see Lemmy grow with another big "Rexxit" event, but I'm not seeing anything happening to cause one.

Was feeling frisky and decided to attempt to get the Doom Slayer achievement (Defeat the final boss with all demon spawners alive and Badder Bosses challenge enabled).

Been attempting it for a week or so and rarely make it past the 1st boss (I've gotten too used to fighting normal bosses - these challenge bosses keep hanging me up).

Mis-fired a caustic potion at Yog while one of the fists was still up. If I hadn't wasted that potion, I'm pretty sure I would've won this fight.

First time actually making it to the final boss fight with Badder Bosses on, so I feel really accomplished to have made it this close.

Edit:

A week and half a dozen tries later, finally made it!
And with TWO challenges on (ran with Swarm Intelligence on as well).
(Please ignore how much of a one trick pony I am)
