Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I’ll help us get a few more niche communities back?
I currently use candy, so I definitely dig the vibe this set has. You also cover all the apps I care about, so I’ll consider it next time I’m making an adjustment to my theme assuming I keep it colorful (and I don’t see why not, I’m not the corporate type, hehe)
I still listen to my local FM alternative rock stations and can’t stand Sombr, specifically that back to being friends song, which they play every two hours or so. The chorus lyrics make me feel dumber and the music itself is boring, I almost always switch stations when I hear it.
Admittedly it’s somewhat of a generational thing, but then again I also disliked similar music from the past few decades so who knows.
I’ve lived here like, three decades. It’s only been yellow or orange during wild fires.
I was provided a laptop to “make work for running code” and the thing was barely functional with 8gb of RAM on Windows 11, full bloat with HP crap on it, using up 6gb of RAM at rest. I wiped it and put a low-usage desktop environment with Mint and it’s like a new life, using like 500mb of RAM. I dare say, his stock app be damned, it might be the only way given just how much more or the system was returned to other applications.
Perhaps there’s an alternative software he can use? Or at another person suggested, just retire it and get a cheap Windows system and keep the old laptop for yourself? All I know is Windows, even debloated, will use up at least a fourth of that systems hardware, if not twice that much.
LA isn’t quite as smoggy as people think, but we did get a light sprinkle the other day so maybe. It really wasn’t much, though. There’s always a little layer of smog, but the parts that people think about are more in the valley where it gets trapped; I don’t think people are supposed to live there.
I heard stories of that… Interesting to see it. The one time I was in Beijing wasn’t too different, orange sky and all. Goes to show you environmental actions to make a difference, from smog tests to gas taxes and everything in-between.
I’d be more interested in a fan sequel built on these. TP Link has more story in him, I’m quite certain (no spoilers, though).
Upside, he is last in the 11:35pm in the spot. I remember decades ago, Leno was noticeably just as bad and somehow also first above Letterman (who was definitely better)— but it’s possible Leno’s audience… died? Or moved on to Fox News, lol.
This gave me heartburn looking at it. Lol
Oh sure, Riker might be picky but I can definitely see Paris telling Kim about some hot twins he met on Tinder and him reluctantly saying yes to this.
I like the Nic Cage movies and drowning deaths correlation more. Lol
Hell even from day one I’ve known some students even who didn’t like it. I have met pro-AI people, mostly c-suite wannabes though.
Does that work with lithium battery fires? The last three spicy pillows I’ve dealt with were Samsung.
Depends. First, if you need financing, it’s probably not a great time to buy although if things ever get sane, you can refinance. The interest has been high. If you can buy outright, though, that’s a non-issue.
Second, it depends on where you get your income. Some sectors are shakier than others. Rely on public contacts? Avoid. Healthcare? Probably fine. Tech? No idea, probably a bad idea. If you might get replaced tomorrow, do not finance a home.
Lastly, consider where. You don’t want a place that’s going to be hazard prone with global warning. Places are priced accordingly but if your home ends up flooded, set ablaze, or lifted to another location by a hurricane, probably not a great idea. There won’t be enough public support to make up the loss.
I’m personally holding down my starter home but I had to buy points to pay down interest to meet a debt ratio, and my math suggested 8 years to make that a net gain. But the above reasons have factored into my holding back.
When in doubt, you can break the windows and say you were worried for the dogs safety. At least, when it’s a Tesla.
Actually even if there isn’t a dog, just to be on the safe side.
I want to add an additional point or two; unlike Reddit, people generally don’t care about karma (total up votes aren’t really counted and some instances don’t even do downvotes, etc) so even if we were mainstream you won’t see much karma farming. People post genuinely, although it might just be a dudes memes on their phone, etc.
Another is regarding the culture, as you may still get banned from specific instances. For instance, there are tankies (authoritarian communists) in places we mostly defederated from that ban you if you criticize the Chinese government or even North Korea (!). World, a typical go to for Redditors, tends to be center left but had their own controversial moments. Personally I don’t mind their defederation choices except I have to use another instance to access pro-piracy stuff (which div0 folks have the best of).
Me spotting Neko made my back hurt.
I hear my neighbors yell from time to time but our kids are like 2 weeks apart in age and… We get it. We don’t do it, but we totally get it. And they tell me they don’t hear me singing in a silly voice when they must certainly do, and is perhaps embarrassing on the other end of the spectrum, lol.
It’s a lemmy.ml community, so don’t be too surprised. The ml in lemmy.ml is literally marxist-leninist, even if it’s just a meme community, lol.
