😀 Tom Bought a Mod Retro Chromatic with a sapphire lens. It's great. Enjoying finally playing The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages through. Also, the Tetris game that comes with the Chromatic, is addicting. Highly recommend.
🏒 Lucian Marin Did you ever played a game on insane-hard mode? That's my life after fluoroquinolone. 2.5 years of daily joint and tendon pain. Full blown psychosis that forced me to shut down Subreply for six months to figure what's going on. If Subreply goes down again, it means I'm dead from 20 pills of Ofloxacin. Anyway, that's the reason I open sourced Subreply, someone else might continue my work. Some people recover after 2-5 years, some people are dead after the same period of time. This is what happens when you trust stupid doctors, instead of the internet.
😀 Tom I'm glad you're still here. If you do not have anyone else to take over should anything happen to you, I am willing to keep Subreply going.
🏒 Lucian Marin ciproispoison.com - this is what I have and I'm getting worse after 2.5 years. This "disease" is eating my cartilage in knees and shoulders. I can't rotate fully the right shoulder like I used to. :(
🏒 Lucian Marin paypal.com/donate/... - donate a few bucks if you want to contribute to Subreply hosting bill.
😀 Tom I've been a member for almost 11 years now; donated!
😀 Tom If anyone who works for Facebook is lurking here, I'm Meta Verified, but my account is essentially locked because I'm stuck in Name Verification Purgatory. I can't even access Meta Support or cancel my Meta Verified subscription. I sent three rounds of demand letters, next step is an actual lawsuit. Fun :-/
😀 Tom I'm not sure how I got on a Japanese spam list, but it sure is easy to recognize an email as spam when it's in Japanese and not English.
🏒 Lucian Marin After Alien Earth, I wish for a Terminator TV series. Bring back my childhood memories.
😀 Tom They did make a TV series: The Sarah Conner Chronicles
😀 Tom Life is just so much better when things are organized.
🏒 Lucian Marin I like the iPhone Air. Who else wants one?
😀 Tom I don't use Apple devices, but it seems like people want a shorter & narrower, not thinner, iPhone (including my mom).
🏒 Lucian Marin It's crazy how much big pharma is fighting berberine for weight loss and metabolic health. They lose billions of dollars because people want to be healthy after taking big pharma meds. Deleted posts on Reddit, nothing to be found on YouTube, banned search and hashtags on TikTok, articles from big US universities telling us is unsafe. I also found Rhodiola for reducing visceral fat and suppressing appetite. So, I'm gonna take them both and report back.
😀 Tom How is it going? (How is it going with these meds, and how is life going in general?)
🐵 George it's inevitable by default, enthropy and shit. but we're loooooong way from there right now. also, there is no greater irony than reading about enshittification at the 'build your workflow with AI' company website.
😀 Tom , I'm lazy and need you to add AI to write my posts here for me. kthxbye!
😀 Tom It's funny, at work, I will do something better, and then other people will copy it. The latest instance I noticed: On my breaks, I use my phone as a hotspot, and just named the hotspot "Phone" and now hotsposts that were named like things such as "John's iPhone" are now just "iPhone" or "iPhoned".
😀 Tom My Facebook account was locked over the name, have send a demand letter to their legal to fix it.
🐵 David Just realised I got this account over 10 years ago already. Where did the time go?!
😀 Tom My 11th Subversary is coming up in November :-)
Alessandro What books are you reading currently?
😀 Tom The ExForce series by Craig Alanson. Aliens invade, and Joe Shmoe turns the tables in the galaxy with the help of a beer can. I'm on book 16 (I think) and it's still pretty good.
