I mean, you connect a phone to a USB-C Hub and the phone can gets power and the SDD /hard drives can get plugged into the USB hub, but I was wondering if there's any apps that can sort of open up your phone's to the internet so that you can access the files (via the phone) from another location?

I know its probably gonna be slow, but is it possible? Maybe "NAS" is the wrong term for it, I'm thinking like a personal "Cloud Drive" except I control the hardware.

Theoretically, a kid could arrive in the US with parents, eventually get Derivative Citizenship. Then they report ther parents for being abusive, then the Citizen parent lose citizenship because the abuse happened before they got citienship, so it can be retroactively revoked, but then the kid is only a Citizen because the parent was, so the kid also automatically lose their Derivative Citizenship.

So the law basically incentivise the kid to keep quiet about the abuses happening at home because otherwise they could, in a round-about way, lose their own citizenship for reporting their own parents for child abuse.

This this is before we bring in the lawlessness of the current administration, this has been the law for a while.

Laws are so fucking stupid.

(I couldn't find a better community to post this in, so I posted here...)

Maybe we have a future with no charging cords and just being at home and your phone is automatically charging from your "Wireless Charging Router".

Sorry if this sounds stupid lol. I like to imagine weird ways we can use technology.

Like for example: a drug raid, or they're accusing you of illegal hacking, or some sort of TheSilkRoad type of stuff.

Assuming the original investigation find no evidence and leads to no charges, could they use the pirated content that you have as a last ditch effort to get you in prison? Not distributing, just personal use.

Not limited to any specific jurisdiction, just want to know what happens in general.

Pretry sure it was a Nintendo DS/3DS or something like that. I never actually had a game console until recently. I now have a Nintendo Switch 2 (never got the v1, so might as well get the v2 since its released).

But I don't have friends so I guess I'm just gonna play with randoms online... 🤷‍♂️

The Zelda Games are kinda fun, still not finished with them yet.

In school, I overhear conversations about their Wii's, thei Xbox'es, their Playstations, and kids be like "Ooh I just got the latest one", and basically the entire socialization was revolving video games, and some were PC gamers but they had an actual gaming rig, not some potato laptop like I had.

So I realize that most of my childhood, I may have been basically been sort of socially ostricized because I don't know about what the kids were doing, so I didn't fit in.

And on top of that, maybe my introverted personality just make people not like me even more.

And I think one of the biggest problems was I spend the first like 5 years of my life in the United States (I arrived in the US on an immigration visa when I was a kid as part of my family) basically trying to readjust my brain to learning English so that few years of not speaking the language was probably enough to erode my self esteem and thus spiral into the mess I am right now.

I wonder if this chain of events is why I have depression.

Now every time I hold my Switch 2, I remember the childhood that other's got to enjoy but I never had. Kinda make me wanna cry.

Did y'all have games growing up. (Like actual games, not pay-to-win games running on a potato)

...Because countries are less willing to fight wars due to the possibility of escalating into a nuclear war.

This is a common thing I see repeated throughout the internet. I wonder what's Lemmy's opinion on this.

From what I know, most guides on piracy on steam deck involves running the game through Steam's launcher as a "Non-Steam Game" which kinda feels sketchy to me, since the Steam Launcher portion of SteamOS is not open source, and they could be phoning home to Steam's servers and reporting me as a pirate. Maybe they don't go hard on pirates for now, but at any point in the future, they could pull a Nintendo move.

I seen too many internet forums saying that if you don't boycott X, Y, and Z, then you're a "terrible person". What do you think about that?

When you return an item, sometimes a store charges a fee. So for example a $300 phone, they take $35 off your return, so you only get back $265 if you decide to return it.

Asking because of Air India 171. Pilots and their unions are objecting to it because of "privacy" reasons. What do you think about it?

Kinda getting jealous of people with wikipedia pages. I want my own, but I don't want to be known for something bad (such as mass murderers). What's the easiest method?
