  • I have a rasberry pi 5 collecting dust, what are some neat useful things i can do with it?

    Jump

  • Pi4 is better for anything with video as it has a a hardware decoder. They dropped the hardware decoder in the Pi5 and I think you need to buy an extra module to have one for them.

  • E-bikes are just bicycles with a motor. Therefore, e-bikes are motorcycles.

    Jump

  • The differentiator is max speed in Canada. Regardless of how they are built. If you can exceed a certain speed, license required.

  • Discord faces backlash over age checks after data breach exposed 70,000 IDs

    Jump

  • If you don't need voice, there are a lot of options. Matrix has IRC support and encryption, and has voice options if you self host.

    Riot is... A Discord clone without working voice and I found it to be an odd duck.

    There's RocketChat.. More Slack like.

    Mattermost.

    I replaced my voice/video chats with Nextcloud Talk and/or Steam, based on the scenario. Outside of those, Matrix is good for community needs in my mind.

  • We interacted on the internet for years without discord.

    It is far from essential.

  • I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too

    Jump

  • Most of the american companies are using Chinese manufacturing for much of the devices. Fairphone is European, but same manufacturing sources.

    In 2026, as a Canadian... Choosing between a country that is adopting nazi practices and threatening us with annexation, and one who has a questionable history but is overall doing more for climate change and global stability right now than the other... The choice is easy. Anything but american.

    Jump

  • Sure, but then you are also not funding Google's competition in order to help improve choice.

    Buying second hand might make you feel better because you didn't directly fund Google, but you're still helping them maintain their position.

  • Pressed Xanax bars?

    What, like medication based granola? What do you chase that with?

  • Anyone else got this?

    Jump

  • 2025 was exhausting... 2026 moreso. This is why, right here.

  • Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia?

    Jump

  • Already some amazing points here, but I will add one thing:

    No matter how utopian your empire becomes, those who grow up in utopia do not have their guard up watching for evil in every corner. The Star Wars flipping back and forth from Republic to Empire over the millennia makes sense.

    The federation existed for barely a millennia in its first incarnation. A fall of a galactic empire makes sense. Rebuilding it makes for good story.

    Especially, and I can't stress this enough, when it is a parallel to the world we live in. Trek has always been a way to mirror events and teach moral lessons... But most of all, hope.

  • The Graphene devs explicitly only support Pixels. Sticking with Graphene means continuing to give Google the profits from your hardware.

    /e/OS is not bad as an alternative. The system wide ad and tracker blocking is nice.

  • Fast-paced and exciting environment

    Jump

  • Seriously. Neurodivergent folks like myself stand an iota of a chance of being successful with a cubicle. Open floor plans are an assault on our senses and the wet dream of micromanagers. They are awful and the reason I exclusively work from home.

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x05 "Series Acclimation Mil"

    Jump

  • Yeah, tears wouldn't stop flowing once they started. It was a good episode.

    Jump

  • Those two have a Rimmer + Lister feel to them.

  • Billionaire Ehud Laniado dies during penis enlargement surgery, surgeons banned

    Jump

  • Now there's a fucking Darwin Award

  • How many containers are you all running?

    Jump

  • Kube makes it easy to have a lot, as a lot of things you need to deploy on every node just deploy on every node. As odd as it sounds, the number of containers provides redundancy that makes the hobby easy. If a Zimaboard dies or messes up, I just nuke it, and I don't care whats on it.

  • Anyone?

    Jump

  • ... This is what I get for hitting up the shitpost threads before coffee.

  • Is there any Fediverse project aimed at creating a safe space for kids to interact within?

    Jump

  • Kids should NOT be on social media.

  • Is it common courtesy to stack your shopping cart back with the other carts?

    Jump

  • Yes its common courtesy. Its lazy and disrespectful to just toss your cart however and just expect that the store's minimum paid staff should deal with your mess

    I usually organise them when I bring mine back to fix other people's laziness.
