  • It's been a long time since I used Ubuntu, but at the time I did I recall running into issues keeping too many old kernels. They were stored in a fixed space folder (or maybe partition?) that was like 100MB and sometimes wouldn't clear out automatically, so I remember this. May not be relevant now, but if it is, space in the storage folder is the limiting factor so you would need to change that. If it IS a partition, then you would need to deal with all that is involved with that.

    edited to add that my current OS only stores three or four as well. I have never really dived into it.

  • There are first person shooters and third person shooters, but what about second person shooters?

    Jump

  • Would this not just be suicide? Linguistically, this would be "you," but "you" would be "me." It's even weirder than talking about oneself in third person... IMO.

  • TIL: There's a website called Mapcarta that utilizes information and data from OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia, Wikidata, and other open projects, and presents it in an interactive world map

  • That could be. I tried the user agent switcheroo but then got stuck in a Cloudfare loop. While it worked for me in Firefox, I haven't really fiddled much with the settings in it so it probably didn't offer much protection and I didn't do a private window. I think the best answer, for me, is to keep things like this partitioned off from some main browsing session. Not my area of expertise!

  • My elderly, former programmer father is one. Too bad it took him 30 years after first trying but he is up and running now for about three months 😁️ Now to get him off the Apple phone and into an alt android OS....

  • It blocked me with Librewolf, but works in Firefox. Seems weird.

    Once I was able to pull it up, pretty neat interface! Lot's of pictures of local places I don't usually see. I will have some fun with this!

  • It's true that annular may not be as exciting as total, but still pretty neat. If either one ever happens close enough for you to see I hope you can make it! Totally worth it.

  • Total and annular are two different things, save your eyes 🙂

  • Wow, seeing this collage the first thing that came to mind was a Jamiroquai video, and the only video from this picture referenced is this new-to-me group. So fitting. Thanks!

  • Thank you! I work on rangelands, so having good info makes a big difference when I speak with these folks. I can't use the sheep examples because we all know it may not be relevant.

    I'll get to reading.

  • This is very awesome! I imagine most of us who floated over a couple years ago have figured out ways of making this happen, but what a huge obstacle for newcomers. Huge news!!!

  • I don't know about now, but "back in the day" I went to work with my Dad for one of these and vomited on his cubicle neighbor's keyboard. Good times.

  • sheep are the easiest to graze under common panels

    These are the studies I have read, but cattle are what exist right outside of town. We have a lot of sheep, too, but not where the panels would go. I would like to find a study about cattle, if you have one to share, that would be great!

  • Form a local power coop with your neighbors or village, and you might be able to make sure that grocer never loses power again

    That is essentially what our power coop has proposed. I think they are talking about solar only, but it hasn't been popular with the ranchers 🙁️ It was just this year, so I think it will gain traction over time. This climate is complicated with regard to the shade from panels but the studies about solar panels in ranch land are good and I think it will happen, we just need more town folks to show up to the meetings. The grocer incident will be, I think, a game changer. The ranchers depend on that store also.

  • I use this, it's pretty great! Not really a replacement for the stock app, but I use a non-stock OS so it doesn't matter to me. It is more like messaging before GIFs and whatnot, but not hard to figure those things out if you want them.

  • Ya, it works! But it is very much like a phone interface on the computer. Maybe not perfect but it exists.

  • Hide single post from feed option

    Jump

  • As a stop gap to what @wjs018@piefed.wjs018.xyz mentioned, are you able to use the :hide read posts" option? I haven't used that, I am not sure how it works, but I think at least then you wouldn't see it. I guess you wouldn't see other posts to follow up on then.

  • Nestle announces possible sale of Blue Bottle Coffee shortly after strike for improved wages and schedules, protection from harassment, and democratic control of workplace

    Jump

  • Is there a good chance new ownership will be better? I cannot imagine them being worse off than being with Nestle, but the one unionized place I worked for that changed hands (a long time ago) certainly went through some challenges with the new owners. I hope it works out great for them!
