Oh yeah? Well, I’ve pooped at a significant fraction of the speed of sound

I described myself as a coder for a while starting somewhere around '03 or '04 IIRC.

I stopped. Anyone who wanted to keep in touch with me was given other methods of doing that. Anyone else who couldn’t be bothered to spend 20 extra seconds? Not worth having in my life.

Up with this sort of thing I shall not put!

(Apologies to Samuel Clemens, iirc)

much more appropriate

Says who? -er- According to whom?

Is this so you can show superiority? Separate those pesky lower classes out? Language is spoken the way it is spoken and it changes. “have ran” is something that would have gotten me yelled at as a kid and it, honestly, is still kinda grating. However, it’s not my business. If I can understand that speaker, language is doing its job.

I’m on my 4th instance. Dropped my first be cause of old Lemmy’s autorefreshand other issues. 2 and 3 died as maintainers went away. I had to start over from zero again each time

I hate infinite scroll. That said, it’s just fancy pagination and if the host’ API supports pagination, whatever frontend should be able to implement that

No one in rural Japan (or at least my corner of it) is doing meshtastic. Japan is more strict on power as well. I am a licensed HAM and even that is pretty thin on the ground up here these days. I had family visit and one brought a node. Nothing at all anywhere we travelled even in one of northern Japan’s biggest cities

Nice. My wife and I are one different carriers purely for disaster purposes. I used to have a wifi router on a third as my travel/work-backup. This is a good step for major disasters.

The downside is that, in the event of large-scale power outages, it will only be so helpful. When I lived in the US, I rode out hurricane Ike in Houston and we had no cell service as the battery backups on the cell towers slowly expired. Some in 24 hours, the longest I think in 72.

I only post on reddit in Japan-related subs because the community (and its knowledge, particularly around legal/financial stuff) refuses to move here. This, however, would be the end of even that. As a small business owner, it is super shitty to lose access to people with advice and knowledge of things around that (particularly taxes).

I mean, whole milk is fine and what a lot of the world drinks. Did you mean raw (unpasteurized) milk?

I would much rather the win XP start menu

Research has shown that many readers today greatly value quick overviews of any article, before the reader considers whether to dive into the article’s full text.

I’m in my mid 40s and this is true of me depending upon why I might be reading something. Sometimes, I want to do a deep dive; sometimes I just want to know roughly what thing is.

However, let me say: fuck AI summaries.

I was thinking of giving piefed a shot. Any further reading on this?

Edit: Why on earth is this so downvoted? I was thinking of switching from mbin to piefed, saw this, and asked for elaboration. FFS.

It sounds like a better use of that person’s time might be doing requirements/design work on the subway. Probably less obnoxious to the people around as well.

I didn’t qualify as a kid (which is interesting because one of the things I was considering was moving to Montreal for university which would probably have lead to a very different life than I have now), but the law changes allowed me to later claim citizenship (under the 2009 change, IIRC). There is (or at least was when I did) a fair amount of documentation to write and provide about all your relatives so be ready for that.

Get all my games working and, more importantly, my video editing software. I had the video editing software working, updated the OS, and it broke. This is not something that has happened to me under Windows, as much as I dislike it. I work two jobs and have home maintenance; I don’t have time to sit and troubleshoot and manually tweak things. Solve that and I will be on linux full time.

I was in a big city recently and had business by their BYD dealership. I walked in as I had never seen any of the cars in person. Two of the models they had had physical controls (both the low(er?)-end ones). If I had planned on buying, that would have ruled 2/3 of what they had out. One complaint about my current vehicle is that it has touchscreen exclusively for all the HVAC controls (I have music controls on the wheel). I’m used to my older cars from (my an '83, '86, '95, '97, and '03 in order of model year) that I could adjust anything without taking my eyes off the road. I don’t mind ALSO having a tablet for navigation and the like, but want my main controls to all be physical.

I’m a US citizen and my wife is not. My grandparents are not long for this world. If one of them pass, I will be going to the US alone because I am terrified my wife, who speaks little English, will end up in some ICE camp. It’s horrifying and heartbreaking.
