I'm thinking about moving to Denver and starting my adult life. I live near NYC but I just don't like it. NYC is dirty, stinky, and unjustifiably expensive. I see rents in Denver between 1400-2000 for a reasonable yet not posh apartment and I can afford it by myself.

TBH I could afford NYC with roommates too but it's everything that is just ridiculously expensive, NYC just feels unfair and nuyorkians take the unfairness out on everyone. I don't want to live my adult life feeling like I should just bite the bullet every time I wanna do something, I want to spend reasonably.

But I'm gay and I gotta have that gay energy in my life, Denver looks great, I'm just curious about what you guys think about Denver Colorado.

Thoughts? Opinions? Warnings?

I mean on a technical level. Are the devices that make up the infrastructure of the internet hardwired with IPv4? Is the firmware on these devices impossible to upgrade remotely?

If it's just a matter of software or firmware then adoption should only take like a year but clearly that isn't the case. So what specifically is stopping us?

I feel like I'd use my file browser if it was easier to get around. ctrp-p like zoxide/fzf would be game changing.

Edit: sry tbh I wasn't clear.. I was asking for a GUI file browser, sry ranger covers my tui needs

I was so confident that WhatsApp was backing itself up to Google ever since I got my new pixel but I just wasn't. Then yesterday I factory reset my phone to fix something else and I lost it all. Years worth of chats from so many times in my past just aren't there, all my texts with my mom and my family, group chats with old friends... I can't even look at the app anymore, I'll never use Whatsapp as much as I used to. I just don't feel right with this change. There's no way to get those chats back and now it doesn't feel like there's any point backing up WhatsApp now! I really wanna cry like this is so unfair!! And all I had to do was check Whatsapp before I did a factory reset.. the TINIEST THING I could have done and prevented this and I didn't fucking do it!!!!!!!

How do I get past this?

I know about software patents but what's the point when somebody can achieve the exact same functionality from the user's perspective using totally different code. Just seems like a waste on a patent lawyer.

Since the housing market looks like a crowd of people just signing mortgages as fast as possible just to then turn around and charge that mortgage plus a little bit.

I shouldn't pay someone's mortgage like seriously this is just adding an unnecessary problem to the real problem of "living somewhere"

I was gonna share this report I wrote for school with a friend. I remember throughout college I kept my school files organized on Drive, but when I went to look for it nothing seemed right. The rule is that I have a folder for every class I had organized by semester and year and alot of them are gone. Classes I know I took I have no record of anything I did there.

It's kind of a bummer. I found some record of me writing this report, I wrote it in December 2020.. Has there been some files loss in Google Drive that I didn't know about? It's kind of a bummer that I can't look at these old things I did but, I'm just hoping for the best.

Has anyone noticed that we haven't really heard of a new app in awhile? I feel like the last time I heard about an app on the news or on Reddit(in the past) in a long time. The last big one I heard of was the Threads app.

Where are the apps? I haven't downloaded a new app since I got Boost for Lemmy.
