user224 , 1 month ago to Ask Lemmy in Which is the best micro sd card company/manufacturer you can recommend ?

I currently use Samsung, but I've had great luck with SanDisk. I think they even gave me better random access which is clear when e.g. loading photo thumbnails.

I just got ghosted by the girl I was talking to

I am sorry, but are you sure it isn't accidental?

I might have accidentally done something like that in the past myself to someone. I have 0 social skills and I am terrible at understanding relationships between people and picking up social cues correctly.
I feel like I just completely misunderstood the situation so I entirely stopped talking with that person (if that's what "ghosting" refers to).

user224 , 1 month ago to Ask Lemmy in How long have you gone without being in a romantic relationship?

I didn't mean it that much as a joke, unfortunately.

I've been thinking how to explain this for those 2 hours, but I don't know.
I just can't really "just do something".
What I meant by "step-by-step manual" would be like a plan of exactly what to do, what to say. I can't even imagine what people do on a date.
Even just trying to start a short conversation is generally a big challenge for me. I sometimes have like 1 or 2 things I want to tell/show to someone, but I may be waiting with that even for weeks.

And just trying to talk to someone, it's like trying to breathe underwater. The brain just stops you from breathing, it's like my throat just closes and I can't say a thing.
Also, unfortunately, I have the habit of instinctively replying "I don't know." to basically any question.

Similarly it's with doing something for the first time. I usually take time with pre-planning stuff to detail.
For example when I was taking a city bus in a different city I even checked how to take the ticket. What payment system they use, whether I need to press something on the screen, where the ticket comes out of, whether it gets fully or partially cut off. Thankfully, that bus company published videos showcasing their system. (Thank you)
Otherwise I'd be checking on forums, looking at background of news reports from that general area, etc..

There's no good explanation for this. I just... can't.
I am a terrible person, so it's probably better this way anyway.

user224 , 1 month ago to Ask Lemmy in How long have you gone without being in a romantic relationship?

1. 18 years (the whole life so far).

2. I guess a weird combination? I don't even know what to do. I'd need a precise step-by-step manual...

3. No.

4. I don't know. I don't have what to compare to.

5. I don't understand the question.

6. N/A

7. N/A

Well, phone numbers do get re-assigned too.

This implies "NIGGER" is an acronym. Mind expanding it?

But no headphone jack.

user224 , 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago) to Privacy in What VPN are you using?

ProtonVPN free (paid is still too expensive for me) and Mullvad.

I find that Mullvad is usually blocked more.

For the past 3 or 4 years I was just on ProtonVPN free tier. For past 15 days I am using Mullvad. I really like that you can choose some custom ports for WireGuard, and also the multihop.
What is unfortunate is that I can't generate separate credentials for OpenVPN, like with ProtonVPN. It just uses account ID.

I have also tried IVPN for a week. Nicer UI, but a bit more expensive, sort of. They have variable pricing based on subscription length, and that just makes me dislike them enough to stick with Mullvad. €5/month whether it's 1 month, 6 months, a year or longer.
I don't remember what specifically it was, but I know I also preferred the Mullvad's ToS over IVPN, although both are fine.

I also thought of AirVPN because of port forwarding, but for privacy I'll stick to Mullvad.

What surprised me with Mullvad was the payment processing speed. It only took 4 days from me dropping the envelope with money into mail collection box in Slovakia to me getting the time added. Considering that shipping to Sweden is "3-5 days", they must have just processed that basically immediately.
But perhaps I was just lucky. I'll see the next time.

Here's specs: https://liliputing.com/moondrop-miad-01-smartphone-with-hifi-audio-features-launches-globally-for-399/

Seems nice. I just wish it had removable battery, like phones used, so I could carry a spare around, like I used to with Sony Ericsson W200i.
Also dedicated dual SIM + MicroSD instead of hybrid.

Just got an idea, the Galaxy Flip has 2 batteries. Small one, and large one. What if there was a small one built-in, and a larger swappable one. You could then hot-swap the batteries like with some ThinkPads (those with internal + external battery).

One DoT provider you could choose is... Mullvad: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls

user224 , 1 month ago to Ask Lemmy in Guns are now string instruments and always have been. Describe a typical gun situation.

I always avoid people playing guns in public. They're too damn loud and are probably trying to collect money, thus I feel anxious trying to just pass by. Sometimes I just walk different paths to avoid those gun people.

user224 , 2 months ago to Ask Lemmy in What is your purpose?

To die, and do as little extra damage as possible until that point.
