Reminds me of that subtle joke that I love but nobody else ever seems to get: Well, I defended my thesis in comparative literature, but it seems like he’s got a pretty healthy pulse to me…

I’ve been using it on Ubuntu 22.04 for almost 2 years. It started off rocky, with frequent restarts needed, maybe every week or two. It’s been pretty solid, though I did give up on using it for screen sharing and captures, which is unfortunate timing in today’s WFH world.
I live near Main Street USA, but not in Florida or Missouri.
You say that, but after my last set of tuning my E3 Pro is a real workhorse! Give it another 4 years like I did. May also help to threaten it with replacement if it fs up ONE MORE TIME…
I’ve watched it on YouTube, it’s pretty good. It starts “this is an impersonation of George Carlin”. Wonder if a court ruling would prevent human impersonation.
Because it’s too hard to crumple a sheet of paper into a cube.
Last weekend I used https://github.com/linsomniac/spotify_to_ytmusic to copy my Spotify playlists over to YouTube Music, and the shuffle play is SOOO much nicer there! That was my primary gripe with Spotify, the shuffle play is idiotic
Another way of looking at it: Lemmy is retaining the engagement of the vast majority of new users who have joined recently.
15 years and 4 letter username here as well. I really hadn’t done much with it up until 3-4 years ago and I really started liking many of the communities there a lot over the last few years. Some were terrible, but many were great, largely because of the volunteer moderators.
But, I’m all but done with it at this point. Really enjoying Lemmy and Mastodon.
My pupper really hates boopers, it’s quite sad. She’ll turn her head when she sees one incoming.
ProTip: Mixing mortar will kill the drill fairly quickly, but slower than I expected. This is the non-brushless one for the record.
Also ProTip: You can often find them for $20 on ebay. $80 for the brushless, NIB.
Been a real workhorse.
All over the map, but ~7 years ago when I moved into my new house I bought a set of Porter Cable cordless 20V that has served me well. DeWalt table saw and drywall screw gun, Hitachi and Makita nail guns. Bosch router and sander. Old school Milwaukee sawzall. Old American made Craftsman socket set. Makita compressor.
The big issue with the PC is that they just don’t have a very big tool eco-system.
I got the Porter Cable because I previously had a small set of DeWalt tools and felt like I under utilized them over 20 years. So instead of going contractor grade I went more prosumer. In retrospect I wish I’d bought Milwaukee, because I’ve used the hell out of the PC, but they’ve served me well.
Also worth remembering: The Apollo guidance computer had less compute power than a USB charger. That thing sent us to the moon. https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/a30916315/usb-c-charger-apollo-11-computer/
I figured it was board.
You can have my fireworks when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers. Which are over there, near the fireworks.
Sure, I have no love of Meta either, which is why I would love for people to have an easy escape hatch via the Fediverse…
You probably aren’t wrong about it being overly idealistic and optimistic. :-(
That’s an interesting point, one of the reasons I chose lemmy.world was that it wasn’t ban-happy.
Since writing my comment above, I’ve come across Cory Doctrow’s “Let the Platforms Burn” article where he argues that interoperability and the ability for users to move to other platforms is the best way out of the Meta situation. https://doctorow.medium.com/let-the-platforms-burn-6fb3e6c0d980
It’s the lead that makes it slightly sweet.
