Oh man so much love went into crafting code for low end MP3 players in the Rockbox project, then everyone ended up carrying around smartphones with tons of compute and memory resource to waste
I used rockbox on a recent holiday for my ipod 6g. It's always my go to for holidays so i don't need to use up my phone's battery

I think it kind of validates a type of thinking that any decent person would want in a candidate. Capitalists are stupid. They don’t know the first thing about skills and abilities.
They’re the kind of bottom of the barrel dipshits who would dismiss a candidate who is great at spelling just because we have autocorrect, even though that’s a solid brain right there.
Common sense. No one wants to hear that shit
I'm good at navigating places, but GPS has made it a less useful skill.
It'll be hugely useful in a post apocalyptic world though
Unscrambling jumbled words. I can usually do 5-letter ones at a glance, and 6-letters in a few seconds.
Pub trivia contests?
That's a fun skill! You're also clearly good at picking usernames
Thank you! I like making up usernames, and on reddit used to abandon them when I got tired of them. Past ones include HeebieMcJeeberson, MadJackMcMadd and AmiableBowelSyndrome. This was also a way to keep zeroing my karma so I didn't feel so addicted to reddit. I really like not having a cumulative Lemmy score.
This one's definitely my favourite. A great thing with lemmy is you can change instances and change your name whenever you fancy it! I look forward to seeing your future costume changes.
My father was frustratingly difficult to watch movies with, because of this exact thing. He would pause the movie to explain that the actor on screen had been in some other obscure movie a decade ago. It was especially bad if two actors had previously worked in the same project, because then he would start listing off other cast and crew they had worked with in the past.
Okay, great, please press Play. I just want to watch the goddamned movie.
Ah shit. I do this and I just assumed my kids were cool with it. Thank you for being the mirror I didn't know I needed.

My wife and daughter do this a lot, but their version is to quietly look up the actors and then announce their results during a lull, so it works out fine. I just do it in my head so I'm like yeah I know, she was also in whatever with Val Kilmer.
There are certain TV shows where you could spend the whole time figuring out who used to be in what - in the 80s Murder She Wrote featured just about every middle-tier actor from the 60s or 70s. Before that they were on The Love Boat. Seems like there must be a modern show full of 90s through 2010s actors but I don't know what it would be. Hey, there's Topanga!
lmao My friends and I do this, but we do not pause the movie. We can keep track of what is happening, give obscure info, tell jokes, even, if it's necessary, we do pause the movie to go to youtube to watch some video because someone remembered see some similar scene or something. Maybe that is our useless skill
Yeah you try this with me and I'll definitely pause the movie until y'all be quiet unless it's a trash fire type watch
I think you might have a very useful skill of actually finding good, compatible friends.
My wife has your skill. I hold that skill to be of no value whatsoever.
God forbid we have a piece of our lives that isn’t monetized for the grind.
Well hey, if you monetize it whatever service you monetize on will just demonetize it without warning for no reason anyway.
Why anyone would even start a YouTube channel right now is beyond me. Unless you're planning to go full Louis Rossman and DGAF.

It used to be Simpsons quotes. But now it's been so long that I've forgotten most.
Hmmm your ideas are intriguing and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Actual lol. Cheers.

If we give up our dental plan... I'll have to pay for Lisa's braces!
