Would have been 1998 at school. Can’t remember what the very first thing I accessed was, probably something educational we were instructed to. We got it at home the following year. I remember downloading my first MP3s from Slipknot’s website around then and spending time in its chatroom. Then I read about Napster in a magazine and gave it a go. We only had the internet at home for a year or two. I had to use it at school and later college or the library after that. But I did have my own website from 2002 - 2005. I remember switching between both Google video and YouTube when they first started. Didn’t get the internet at home again until 2006, first smartphone in 2010.

Snake? Snake! Nooooooooooo!

So this propels dildos into your orifice(s) with explosive charges? Do people enjoy that?

Don’t know about iPhones but by default on all of the Android phones I’ve had other than the first one its blocked. There’s still call recorder apps in the Playstore but they don’t work. Not sure if it’s only blocked in my country because its illegal if you don’t inform the other party and allowed in others but I imagine its just easier to block it everywhere. I believe you can root the device or use a custom rom to allow it.

God I love Monkey Dust. Can’t believe it ended 20 years ago now.

You’re preaching to the choir with this one.

I’m going to build the 3D printed RC car below but I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole and looked at other printable RC machines.

Ultimately I want to build an RC Benchy to use on the lake at my local park but I thought a car would be easier to try first.

Work out, do DIY at home, volunteer at my local cat shelter and dedicate more time to making music, gaming and general computer fiddlin’. If it was literally just basic needs with no cash maybe host some services for people on a small scale or teach about self hosting for money to afford luxuries.

I did a similar thing. I was talking to my friend through my headphones as I was getting ready to leave the house and put my phone in my hoodie pocket. Then I put my rain coat over my hoodie and left. 5 minutes later I freaked out when I couldn’t find my phone in my rain coat pocket. My friend reassured me that I must have it because I was still talking to her but I didn’t remember what I’d done until I took my rain coat off. Was a weird experience and one that made me realise how dependent I was on my phone.

Do you live in the UK?

18° during the day, 16° at night. I remember reading somewhere that getting down to 15° or lower for extended periods of time can cause problems for your house.

Fair point. I’m a techie, that’s where most of my interest lies.

I’d really appreciate it if you could provide as much info as you can about how you’re accessing Lemmy.

Is it through a device you’re allowed to use or one you’re using illegally?

Is it a desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet?

What operating system does it use? Windows, Linux, Android, iOS?

What method does it connect to the internet through? Dial up, wired broadband, wifi or through a mobile network?

Are you in my house?

I don’t think communism is a moneyless system. Pretty sure people paid money for things in the USSR. Have there been any communist countries without money?
