I learned to play the guitar growing up as a young rapscallion in Mississippi. But things didn't really take off until I moved to Memphis. There I met the Colonel and the hits just kept coming. Unfortunately, the fame went to my head, I gained a lot of weight, started wearing a white jumpsuit, and ate tranquilizers like they were trail mix. Then, in 1977, I died on the toilet.
Or did I?
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks
If you wear glasses, while driving a vehicle with an airbag, and an accident happens, what happens?
1d 1h ago in nostupidquestionsI've been in an airbags deployed accident while wearing glasses. I was fine, and so were my glasses.
Getting hit in the face with a pillow is actually worse than hitting the airbag at 50 mph. The airbag also partially deflates nearly as fast as it inflates. i.e. you don't smack into it hard and it just cushions you and keeps you from smacking into the steering wheel. It's also designed to work with the seatbelts, so those should also be keeping you from being right up in the airbag's business. Hence, the technical name for airbags, SRS (supplemental restraint system)
You'd have to be eye-level with the center of the steering wheel, not wearing a seatbelt, and right up on it for that to be a concern.

Any solution for people deleting their asklemmy posts?
1d 6h ago in asklemmyIt's annoying AF, agreed, but there's no provision in the API to do anything about it. That's just how the platform is designed to operate.
The only things we can do about it are:
- Notice who does that frequently and refuse to interact with them (block them, tag them, remember their username, whatever works). If mods notice this, it would be nice if they'd ban those users from the community because what they do IS disruptive to the community.
- Optionally, don't interact with accounts younger than a week in the "ask" communities because those are known to self destruct.
If a user deletes their account or nukes the post, even admins can't restore it as it just says "Permanently deleted"
Commodore is back with a de-Googled feature phone for the anti-doomscrolling crowd (running SailfishOS)
1d 8h ago in linuxphones@lemmy.ca from www.androidcentral.comOh, very nice. Must've missed that link.
So, specs-wise, it's not far off from the S22 other than running a cleaner and newer OS and having twice the RAM (4GB vs 2 and quite a bit more onboard storage (64 GB vs 16). Screen is even the same res, so kinda bummed but understandable that 480x640 (portrait VGA) is sufficient for the form factor/use cases.
The camera is a LOT better, though.
$500 and up with no specs mentioned. Yikes.
Price aside, I absolutely love the idea of this and would compare it to the CAT S22 Flip I've been using for almost 2 years. Mine runs a (now) de-Googled Android 11, so it is getting a bit long in the tooth. The screen on this one also seems a bit larger which would be nice for maps and such (the S22 can do Organic Maps just fine, but the screen is tiny).
Commodore’s patent-pending technology blocks social media platforms and internet browsers at the system level.
I don't like this, though. At least, not the web browser part of it. The nice thing about the S22 is I can do that just fine, albeit annoyingly small and suboptimal, when I need to. Like, if I'm out and about and need to look up a business or phone number or something. The catch is that while I can use the web browser for what I need, it's too small / clunky to spend time farting around with things that aren't necessary. Hopefully there's a setting to allow that because that would be a dealbraker for me as I am on the lookout for a worthy successor to my S22.

Nope. I had the same thought (more or less). Looks like Dennis wearing a wig of my grandma's hairstyle.
I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it?
