The linked app Stremio will work on android, you just download the apk directly as it’s not on available on Fdroid, the add-on will work with android and VPNs work on android either natively or via there own app, depends on who your VPN provider is.

I’d suggest using a VPN, if you’re in a first works country, basically torrenting can be recorded by your ISP/movie studios etc, whereas streaming typically won’t be

Most VPNs typically will have a desktop app (if using windows) that you can use to make sure it’s on and functional etc (and can even force apps to not be able to torrent when its turned off)

If you live in a 3rd world country don’t worry about the VPN

Beyond that, what you want is in terms of simplicity is something like Stremio with the torrentio add-on installed, this will allow Stremio to find torrents for whatever you want to watch, you can select quality, language, etc with it. It’ll work for film and TV.

Install Stremio and then install Torrentio

You can download the apk from the website below: Apk here: https://www.stremio.com/downloads Add-on for Stremio here: https://torrentio.strem.fun/

To freak us out when we’re a little bit too high…

Whilst I’ve got no particular suggestions for it, I’d suggest taking a look at humble bundle, they do games bundles (and other book/asset bundles) at very good prices, normally focusing on a genre/publishes/studio/franchise. This is how a lot of people get going with steam and start to build a library of games, the bundles are often cheaper than the listed price of a single game.

Did you read the description of the book the guy linked?

This is an objective biographical study of Crowley written by someone who lived and worked intimately with him. Dr. Regardie observed “The Great Beast” at close quarters while serving as his personal secretary. The Eye in the Triangle was written many years later, after long contemplation. Regardie combines the psychological insight afforded by his professional training as a Reichian analyst with his grasp of Crowley’s magical personality.

It’s likely that the passage wasn’t written by Crowley himself, so a source like the one linked may be useful.

Also Libgen if you’d rather download the book and ctrl+f the passage you’re looking for

They can work, though I’m always reluctant to suggest using them, unless you have one that you can spare without worry of ruining the oven (offgassing from components/PCB/flux), the other problem is ovens can be a lot more variable in temperature than you’d think, and in this scenario where it may even be the chips showing their age, subjecting them to very high temperatures isn’t recommended.

Honestly when I bought a small £20 heatgun (smaller than the type you’d use to strip paint), I was kicking myself for not having bought one sooner, they make surface mounted components an absolute breeze Vs using a soldering iron.

The one exception for using ovens is if you’re having to do an intricate board with hundreds of components, then I’d suggest buying a small/medium toaster over, and an oven thermometer for more accurate readings.

Not who you asked but 100% use a narrow heat gun, no question; it saves so much time alongside not accidentally bringing connectors

It’s also useful for other addiction treatment for things like meth, etc. IIRC it can also be used to cycle with ADHD meds to reduce tolerance, (though if taken with them, you don’t get any benefit from the ADHD med).

NAC is also useful for things like COPD, and weirdly is a pretty great chelation agent for heavy metals and I want to say is also used for paracetamol overdose.

Semi-related: is there a nootropic/drugnerds community on Lemmy yet?

I’m going to take a slightly different approach of what productivety means here; for me it’s literally just making my things in my life less time consuming, easier to access and return to.

With that in mind, I use Google photos to automatically back up my photos, this could be anything from wiring diagrams, patio brick layouts, a quote in a book, to a mushroom I’m wanting to identify.

I use the app plantnet if I’m wanting to identify a plant.

I use the app seeker to download music from soulseek

I upload any research papers/books downloaded from scihub/libgen to gdrive for easier access in the future.

This is of course ignoring all of the notes/timers/reminders I use my phone for as well

The classic ones are red, there are (were) ones installed in the 80s-2000s which are mostly glass and grey aluminium (IIRC) that had a the BT logo on the side.

The classic red ones are more typically associated with smaller villages etc nowadays, often turned into mini community libraries or have been retrofitted to carry defibs. Some towns still have them but very few still function.

Also for context about the original picture, I believe it’s a reclamation yard type of thing, you can often buy old/vintage building materials/farm equipment/utilities etc at them for a somewhat inflated price

I kind of agree with other person who said it’s basically just antidepressants… though I’ve shyed away from the one that made me deeply content (yet somewhat dysfunctional) in exchange for one that leaves me more functional in exchange for a bit more (healthy) strife.

I’d be quite curious of a world where everyone is on universally functioning antidepressants.

Is this society a functioning dystopia or a dysfunctional utopia?

Also OP have you ever played the video game ‘We Happy Few’, a key feature of the world is that everyone takes a mild psychedelic called Joy to stop them from remembering the past.

Another story that I seem to recall using a similar plot point is Brave New World and their drug Soma (IIRC)

Seeing that you mentioned MS365 imma just have my mini vent here, my mum is over 60 and her work has just started using MS365, so far run into a bunch of minor frustrations, but two big ones that she wasn’t able to figure out herself, and damn near stumped me:

First was trying to create an email group, so it’s easier for her to mass email her different classes, go to create the group, realise there’s a bunch of other junk like chats and shared files as part of the group thing which isn’t needed (and can’t be used by non ms emails anyway, over half of them) but whatever, get most of the way through it then realise that two people aren’t included in any group… ok that’s odd, just says they can’t be added to the group, turns out that they’ve likely had some permission set regarding not being able to be added to groups.

45 minutes in at this point and they cannot be added at all, decide to go back and manage to find the option to create a bog standard email group (list?) hidden away under a drop-down menu, this is what I wanted to and thought I was making in the first place, then realise I cannot import or move over the already existing groups to the simpler email lists, so have to start again…

Finally get all of that done and my mum starts to send her zoom links out except nothing is hyperlinking automatically, try to search links, hyper links, linking, etc via the help and nothing of relevance comes up, turns out outlook Web doesn’t support that, only the desktop app does but nothing mentions that. Manage to track down some random forum post that states that automatic linking only works if the email is set to plaintext format, not html…

Absolutely ridiculous

Unrelated beyond the Tories being retarded with banning things for no real reason: I’ve just discovered that they’ve effectively banned the sale of sodium hydroxide (drain cleaner) and potassium hydroxide (used to make soap), before I could buy them on eBay or get the sodium hydroxide at any super market, but now I have to go via a chemical supply company, taking literal weeks, and paying £7 for 100g of sodium hydroxide, where I used to be able to get 500g for £2.

They’re scum for an endless list of things but this has really annoyed me.

Tbf, there are other infrastructure that aren’t the literal wells of oil, take refineries for example, they are central to the operation, are harder to replace than a bit of pipeline, typically the end point for many pipelines.

Though all of these factors make them much more likely to be targets and to also have much greater security. Still functionally even if you manage to take one down it won’t make a difference in the grand scheme of things.

Add on that most refineries are likely designed with fire breaks/fire suppression systems nowadays so it probably won’t even have an knock on effect

Tbh the advice provided is already pretty accurate, as to how; there’s a non zero chance that a friend may have sent you a RAT (remote admin tool/remote access Trojan), these are basically the best back door to someone’s computer you can have, normally you want to have physical access to someone’s computer to install them or have a user run it with elevated privileges, (there are other ways as well, such as spoofing a jpg, other methods of remote code execution). These tools will allow you to access there computer, files, keylog, steal passwords, send popups, open and close the disk tray plus basically anything else you could do with access to the computer.

Basically follow other people’s advice in regards to undoing this.

They’re a spammer trying to advertise their key selling business/scam, honestly fucking laughable that they post in piracy.

Pro tip, if the joints on them are starting to not hold together of their own accord and you don’t want them to fall apart: use zip ties on the edges/corners to reinforce them.

It might be worth just changing your language to undefined and English (and any other language you speak, though I now realise you may be Swedish, so that likely won’t help) but if you’re not Swedish it’ll help.

The only app I recommend was Obtanium, the rest of the listed things are app sources (places where open source apps are hosted, like GitHub)

Sorry if this wasn’t clear!

Recently it’s been Obtanium, basically it allows you to add apps which are hosted on GitHub/other app sources which don’t have auto updating, and have them automatically check and offer to update!

It’s been really useful for Lemmy clients (liftoff/Jerboa)/any android apps from:
