I’ve seen it go both ways.

Grandparents slipping horribly into dementia. Refused help. Kept getting scammed out of money, luckily they had a lot. Kept driving and we kept finding new dings in their car. Had to steal the car keys multiple times.

Finally all of their kids got together and got power of atty and got them set up in a nice care facility. They had to get moved to the memory care area not long after as they kept escaping. They thought they were on a cruise ship or something. Eventually they died but their kids had to do tons of work.

At the other end of the spectrum is this lady that basically set everything up since her mid 50’s. Found a retirement community she liked that had normal homes and then two properties with different stages of assisted living. She’s sent her kids all of the details including funeral arrangements.

She’s still kicking but I expect her passing will go a lot easier than the first couple I spoke of.

Get them to talk to a friend that lives in a retirement community and start taking tours every weekend.

This sounds like beta testing…

“Floppy” not flippy.

I found this: https://www.diginoodles.com/writing/media-production/transferring-commodore-64-disks-to-modern-formats

But make sure those disks still have readable data. They weren’t that reliable even when not 40 years old.

Reddit had many years of growth. Lemmy is more like what Reddit started as.

It’s one of the better Reddit alternatives.

I find it neat when a question has different answered depending on jurisdiction.

I read the article. The author questioned why this bug has existed for so long, and if it’s also a design flaw of vlc.

6 figure incomes aren’t suddenly turning republican. That’s not what happens.

My SO just asks me to do it. Works pretty well for them.

Why no cake.

Replace the base with a solar panel. You won’t get any meaningful power out of that tiny blade setup from wind.

I read the article. No where does it say any drilling is starting. This is a sensationalized headline.

It’s only expensive because of demand. Beach houses used to be cheap.

That being said, a couple living together could own one home each.

Or someone living in an apartment could own a beach house.

Fallout new Vegas. Mother deathclaw at the quarry.

You can run up some equipment and it will just sit there letting you kill it from a distance. Total cheese but good to know if you head to the quarry early.

They used to have agreements to make it difficult to do so. I don’t know if that’s still the case but it’s pretty awful. I think OEMs had to pay licenses for every machine shipped regardless if it had a windows license.

The other issue is that oems have a large amount of compatibility and support built up over the years for windows. They also know their customers can deal with Microsoft for “support” and ignore driver and support costs for whatever distro of Linux they were to choose.

Sure an OEM could lead the way and show everyone else the path to freedom but think of the shareholders

What other things do you get confused about?
