I’ve finally watched Firefly, and I never would’ve thought how much I could like a show that was canceled before even finishing the first season. Gonna watch Serenity tonight, to get that final bit of Firefly-goodness.

I watched a few episodes of The Expanse before dropping it, and I’m going to give it another try after liking Firefly so much.

Isn’t it true though that to create a ‘safe space’ they have to either moderate intensely or decrease the amount of outside users? I’m conflicted too but I think the desire for a safe space is fair and I don’t see another way to get there.

I bought a refurbished pixel 2 earlier this year. My pixel 4a got damaged and I decided I was gonna try a refurbished phone. Reasons were: I wanted to spend less money on phones, I wanted a ‘small’ android phone, and I was already familiar with the pixel 2 since my friend used to have one.

I knew what the phone looked like but I still had to get used to this phone’s massive chin and forehead! It’s also my first phone without a headphone jack, so I had to figure out how to connect it to my car’s sound system with a Bluetooth receiver. O was already using wireless earbuds so that was no hassle. All in all the transition was pretty painless, so I’m not gonna look for a 3.5mm jack in my next phone.

I bought it for about 120€, which is 50% of the price for a new pixel 2 64GB at this moment. I’m pretty clumsy and always keep my phone on me, even during my job which is pretty physical at times, so my phones don’t tend to last past 2 years. That feels pretty wasteful when I say (type) it out loud so I think I’m gonna stick to refurbished phones. Maybe I’ll follow the release of pixel phones, only with a 4-5 year delay 😁.

One big downside of refurbished phones is that apparently they don’t always replace the battery! They test them and decide per phone if it’s necessary or not. Apparently I got pretty unlucky because my battery wasn’t amazing to start with and degraded pretty fast. I might have to learn how to do the replacement myself, that’s always been something on my list.

If you’re considering buying a refurbished phone to save money or to be less wasteful, I can recommend it, but keep your eye on the battery and check if the warranty covers it.

here’s something I’m gonna miss: reddit comments on youtube! I’ve used several add-ons over the years on firefox that add a reddit thread under the video I’m currently watching if the video has been posted to any subreddit. This means that I can browse my subscriptions and read what my favorite subreddit has to say about it too. This is also a great way to discover new subreddits! I’m sure it’s possible to make a version with fediverse-threads but I’m not the one who’s able to make it.

excited to see more!

The content has changed for sure. But for me it hasn’t been about the game they play for a while, I like the people and will watch them in anything. And yeah, the drama fucking sucked.

I got really annoyed at the crafting system in Elden Ring. I felt like the whole system was added because ‘an open world needs a crafting system’ and not because it fit the game.

Crazy to me that your the only one at this time to mention the yogscast. I love these guys, been a fan for allmost a decade now I think.
