  • I hate my Samsung S25.

    The hardware is lightning fast, but this OneUi garbage fucks up multiple apps, even Voyager that I am using to type this right now.

    They especially seem to fuck over the Fossify open source apps.

    The redundant Samsung apps (Phone, Messenger, Calendar, Photos, App Store, et al) are garbage clones of the vanilla Google Android apps.

    I never had this many problems with my Motorola, which did use vanilla Google Apps















  • Same here in San Francisco. I worked with some tenants who were in the process of buying their building, and they didn’t believe me when I told them it takes an average of 3 percent of the building’s value per year to maintain it, and do safety replacements and upgrades.

    As the building’s value goes up, and so do the maintenance costs, because contractors gotta live somewhere.

    So you really don’t save any money by putting off maintenance, and raising HOA fees to keep up with maintenance costs and insurance is a good and necessary thing.

    And then there’s deferred maintenance: Old roofs, siding, plumbing, and electrical systems that are about to fail need to be replaced in their entirety just to keep the building standing.

    This particular property also had a massive retaining wall that looked like it was in bad shape too.

    Even with all that, home ownership is still better than throwing your money away on paying rent.

    But only if you can afford it.

    Good luck, NYC Tenants!


  • First of all, I’d recommend that you don’t do that if the creators are still active.

    The small timers/indies NSFW creators, especially selling the ones selling their stuff indirectly on Gumroad, have a tough time making a living and creating content without having to battle their own pirated material.

    If you enjoy their content from your favorite indie creators, and want to see more from them, please financially support and promote them.

    If you do upload some indie content, limit your uploading to 1 or 2 pieces, as opposed to entire siterips, please credit the creators, include links to their content, and encourage downloaders to support the creators.

    On the other hand, if the creators have retired or gone out of business, go for it!

    I guess find a general torrent site, or appropriate specialty torrent site. That or upload to an infested downloading site and post that address in one of those forums where those infested download site links get posted? Yeah I know, use JDownloader…

    Most general torrent sites have NSFW/XXX content.

    You can also upload the content to archive.org. It will quickly be flagged as NSFW and excluded from searches, but at least it’ll be archived. You can post direct links to your uploads there in appropriate forums and other communities.
