When I think of tech product, I already consider 5 years or more to be old because tech moves crazy fast. Not to mention the general trend of consoomerism that people replace their phone like within two years. But yeah, anything that old still have its value amongst hobbyist, a good thing!Winnyace wrote:
Well I was talking about more computers like the Commodore 64, the Amiga, super old Macintosh computers, etc, things with historical value, not really things that are 5-10 years old. Though your reply gave me an idea for another question, so thank you!Nanofranne wrote:
Of course. While Apple and other similar companies in vein are going crazy for their anti-repair and profiteering stance, older hardware still have its place. It may not be the fastest and the most efficient, but hey it works! if it broke, there's good chance someone I know can fix it and keep it running again

New question
What's your opinion on right to repair?
My answer
It's really beneficial. It should be obvious why:
- Using an expensive, repairable piece of tech even years down the line is better financially for the end user
- Less wasteful, which is better for all of us.
Just like you said there's not a single downside to things being easier to repair, only upsides
I've never seen someone who's against it but I've never talked to a billionaire so that must be why

it's nice
Right to not repair is one of the worst forms of greed. Also, it would be one of the highest forms of hipocrisy if a company states that they're ecological/sustainable while making their products impossible to repair. I don't buy that badly made greenwashing.
Should be yes now to decrease the amount of wastes and reduce the amount of materials used. In the context of the world currently this should be something to have, if not a must.
right to repair should be a right, the consumer should be able to handle their personal equipment the way they want
It is a universal right.
Companies that violating such right must be held accountable. Earth resource and human labour is finite and by making stuff unrepairable is evil. Hopefully more and more government around the world start to follow EU's path for breaking up anti-repair and fake 'go green' stance

How would you define/describe Off-Topic?
anythin goes subforum
What's your opinion on the vintage computer hardware? Do you think there's still a benefit to talking about/repairing such machines? (The question can apply to anything old, really. I just chose computers since that's one of my main
interests.)
idk shouldn't be a priority but it's nice I guess

There aren't any strict rules here about content, so people just do whatever, so I guess it would be more accurate to say that it is a sub-forum of random topics and most happen to be shitposts.

i don't really have an opinion on it
I think everyone knows
ehh, i dont have much opinion abt it tbh... i just leave the post spammers alone
I'm also indifferent with it. At least people who do that have some insightful reply sometimes
It's useless and makes everyone who wants to read through threads waste their time
Also when 90% of posts on a forum are pointless replies to farm post count people just stop checking there and the forum dies
I've never seen that on any other forum
Just checked one of them which was pretty active (I had 50+ notifications every day), I am still the 2nd member with most posts (it's dead now) with less than 5k posts in 5 years, the most active had ~8k posts in 7 years
Don't know if count is accurate since most of the forum has been deleted and I can't check my full history, but I remember spending about the same time on there as I do now on OT when I was most active so same post count in twice the time seems plausible
Here I have ~6k in ~2 years (counting OT/FG, where the vast majority lies), yet we have people with 10k+ (not counting OT) in less than a year
It sucks

What's your opinion on post farming?My answerTBH, I'm kinda off indifferent towards it. It annoys me, especially when I scroll through GD, but to some degree, I don't know if other forums weren't/aren't similarly "spammed" with replies.
as a former post farmer, I didn't really think much about postfarming. I just focused on quantity and not on quality. I eventually stopped postfarming as soon when I noticed that subforums stopped getting new responses and thought that postfarming just ruins the forums altogether. Not only that, but I also have seen others ranting about it, which made me change my mind about postfarming. Nowadays, I just post when I feel like it

Anaxii where u at 🎤
I think that post farming is useless and that's that xD
As long as it's something that could perfectly be said in a DM I am not bothered.
contrary to my post count i used to post farm a shit ton on ot circa 2020.

What do you do when you can't sleep?My answerI just try to sit down and relax. Eventually, I fall asleep. This time it didn't work, though, so that's how I got the inspiration for this question.

Go back to the internet most likely.
I've never experienced this before. I usually fall asleep quickly, and it has never happened in my life that I wake up in the middle of the night (I don't know whether to be happy or worried). If I look at my cell phone at night, it's because I want to, not because I can't sleep. 
get depressed seeing time pass without me sleeping and after 2 hours of pain I fall asleep, so, yeah, I just stay on bed
I usually fall asleep pretty easily. I guess I'd go on my phone or computer until I'm eventually sleepy at like 3 in the morning.

Same, very rarely I get up again and try to do something until I finally start to fall asleep then I go back to bed but it's not very effectivePatatitta wrote:

New question
What do you think about the new Discord mobile UI?
My answer
I would actually quite like it, if it weren't for the fact that this new UI seems to have introduced some bugs which require you a full app reload. I had one this morning where the UI wasn't updating to display the latest messages I've sent to someone on a server. I thought my internet connection was bad, but no. The messages got through, but the UI wasn't updating.
I tried it when I had my phone (when you could use the sparkle emoji easter egg), wasn't that bad but performance was eeeeeeh.
i don't use discord
There was a time when the mobile app was basically a copy of the desktop app/website, it was very easy to switch from one to the other as it was essentially the same interface
Now everything is much harder to do in the mobile app, things that I could do with 1 click just like on pc now require navigating through menus, and anything that I don't use daily I now have to actively look for instead of doing what I'd do on pc
I hate it

It's not bad, but I don't like the fact they're changing it for the sake of changing it. There're much more important things they have to do and which should be on top of their priority list.

I dont like it that much feels weird and was not needed.
i havent updated the mobile version since forever, it’s still on version 72.0 2021 Feb
New update? Huh, I didn't noticed that
oh wait they fixed this now
-
overall: i prefer the old, maybe its because its a bit harder now to navigate stuff but still
Well im quite mixed with the update. Part of me doesn’t like it and part of me does. The layout looks modern to fit the current aesthetic. What i kinda hate is that i can’t swipe to see the members. It just feels uncomfortable to click the channel info just to look at members. But the best part is that i can see all media what the server has posted which is pretty cool. There are so many things to say about the new layout but it would be very long lol
And the discord update was much better than this new chrome update.
It's fine, a bit overhated like every single change made to an app or logo in the past 5 years but I don't think it's necessarily bad

New question
How do you deal with failure/negative feelings about yourself as a person?
Basically the only thing that changes is that I choose a non-comedy anime to watch.
i try to overpower them with positive feelings, and make myself happier with who i am
Learning how to live with them.
I hate myself for a while then move on.
It kind of became a habit at this point.
It kind of became a habit at this point.
I listen to music and shut myself from the world for a while until I can come back again
