I was shown it by a mate, along with soulseek, in like, 2006 or so when in sixth form. It was way better than what I was using at the time (IE)
At least that’s what I remember, pretty sure that was the date. I remember soulseek was before by a bit actually as we used it for trading At the Drive In and Mars Volta tracks
I’ve carried on using it because of plugins, adblocks, privacy, etc.
I’m not European, I’m a British cunt
?
I’ve been to quite a few cities here in Europe that aren’t car dependent.
Well, I saw politics@lemmy.world was US only. So I blocked it.
That’s pretty much the extent of my involvement in moaning/bothering about politics here.
Making mix tapes and later mix-cds too. Best way of sharing music back then.
Wish I still had all of mine
Wtf. What the fucking fuck?
My medications, and I have a lot (migraine prevention - zolmipitran), are covered by the NHS standard prescription charge. £12 I think. I get them delivered to my door. If I had leukemia, that med would be the same price, same capped £ figure. Inhalers and insulin meds - same price.
£12 is nothing nowadays. And if you are unemployed or on benefits, or not an adult, you get them free.
Best of luck to you, but seriously what the fuck at your country
Then the iPad is waaaaay behind everyone else. Like, 20 years.
And from the article, way lazier than I thought it would be. He’s just got an Analogue Pocket and he’s running it through the dock via HDMI. I have an analogue pocket and a Game Boy Camera. I could, and have done this. I used to do this back in the early 00s with a SNES, Super Game Boy and a video capture card during the MSN messenger days!!!
I was expecting him to actually have something cool and technical, like wiring up proper video out to a Game Boy, but no. Just a hipster writing as if a million people haven’t already done the exact same thing.
Edit: fwiw I have actually added a native video out, VGA and composite to a stock DMG game boy before. Used a bennvenn board with a cpld. Maybe I was the true hipster all along
Well, we are lucky here in that unless you live in a real rural area, most of the time you can get rid of your car and live just fine. I walk everywhere, sold my car a year ago and never looked back. Everywhere here, at least south coast, is walkable for pedestrians. All grocery stores do home delivery. Trains are going through strike action constantly it seems, but they do exist and work fine most of the time, bus network is actually good in my area.
I have an almost unbroken pedestrian walk for a full 20 miles stretch - and that’s just walking past the main towns, not including time in them. And these towns contain buildings from the 1500s - didn’t have cars back then, and a load of the old town layouts are still present in my area. No cars were around back then, and they’re just as walkable now.
Not like America where jaywalking exists and you literally can’t walk anywhere in car-centric places
Edit: didn’t even mention the other thing we have here - bike hire, everywhere. I can bring up the app on my phone and see where the nearest bike/electric bike/electric scooter is, walk there, tap its panel with my phone to unlock and off I go. I do that when I’m being lazy. I’ve just checked and there are six bikes available down my road in the nearest bay.
