I’m not a bot.
I wish I could upvote this more. Even field workers are required to provide documents to get a job. They also receive paper checks, with taxes taken out, just like the rest of us. So they’re actually paying into a system they can’t use.
I know some now legal immigrants, who were granted amnesty in the 80s, who support or feel indifferent about the mass deportations…
Sadly, something I’ve realized that is part of our United Statian culture is that we believe: “If I suffered, then others must suffer as well.” We are not a kind or compassionate country. We do not care about our neighbors.
Yep. Spanish has a number of Arabic loan words, given Spain was conquered by the moors for a bit.
LOL.
Person tries to make small talk
zymagoras777: OMG. I’m totally offended. What an attention whore!!1
OK, dude. You know you can just ignore the post, right? Just move along.
Maybe something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articles_of_Confederation previously in the US?
the Congress observed them as it conducted business during the American Revolution (defense), directing the Revolutionary War effort, conducting diplomacy with foreign states (foreign relations), addressing territorial issues (cross-jurisdiction crime)
So what do they actually offer, on top of the work of creative people making music? Not much.
OK, so I left Spotify for Navidrome a while back BUT. What Spotify sells isn’t music. Spotify sells curation and recommendations. Most people aren’t music lovers that want to hunt for cool new music. They just want a pre-generated list of songs that they’ll more or less like. That’s actually kinda huge.
A recommendation engine is something I wish fediverse or open source would tackle. I’m on Navidrome now, but I’m definitely listening to way less music now—access isn’t an issue—I just haven’t had time to hunt around for new music. Investigating new bands takes time. On Spotify, you do it without even really thinking about it.
a place where nationwide laws are defaults, but smaller hierarchies can pass laws to supercede the higher defaults?
Hm… that kinda doesn’t seem too useful, no? What would even be the point of the higher government if you can just completely ignore them locally?
I’ve tried the foam earplugs from a drugstore/chemist’s. They’re extremely difficult to put in properly
There’s definitely a right and wrong way to put these in. I used to just stuff them in my ear because I didn’t think I needed instructions on how to use them. But, I recently learned I was doing it wrong. After watching this video, putting them on was way easier AND they also blocked out way more noise.

But, yeah, they do get dirty after a few uses. Although, they’re way cheaper than Loop… soo… idk.

But he said Linux is a hassle to use because of updates … Just get used to using the package manager
Yeah, package managers are great… but also… for somethings… flatpaks from Flathub/Software Center are also great because those apps get automatically updated in the background, so you don’t even have to think about updating anything.
Leaving a social media platform often forces content creators to start over from scratch on a new site.
Don’t Lemmy and Mastodon also have this problem to some extent? Like, all the comms on lemm.ee will have to start over on new instances, no? Is it possible to migrate all subscribers, comments, and posts? Or just partial migrations?
Wow! It’s so nice that the company got back to him! /s
But, seriously, I’m not doing take home projects anymore. I recently interviewed at a company that rhymes with Lagi. They asked me to build an app for them for 2 weeks. I did. I sent them the project and then they just fucking ghosted me. I sent them 3 follow up emails and nothing. Not even a rejection.
Yep. I didn’t realize the flatpak version worked better. I never get those manual update prompts anymore and Software Center automatically updates Discord when there are updates.
The Ratta Supernote A6X2 Nomad is 329USD, cheaper than the devices you found. The A5X2 (bigger) is 505USD though.
Devices I’ve owned:
I currently own the Supernote A6X2 and I’m super happy with it. I use it almost every day to diagram stuff for programming. I also read technical books on it. The Supernote A5X (the previous version) was also very good. I just ended up liking the smaller size better.
My favorite feature is that Supernote does NOT require a subscription! The device also has plenty of other features. You can read PDFs and ebooks, of course. You can even install the Kindle app on it, though you can’t install any Play Store app. The palm blocking is good. There are gestures to help you write faster. There’s a shape tool. Different pencil sizes, highlighters. Paper backgrounds. Hand writing recognition. And you don’t need to buy replacement pen tips!
Supernote cons vs reMarkable:
I went to one of those corporate places for an oil change … This fell off sometime on my drive home from work.
Exact same thing happened to me. Ever since then, I do my own oil changes.
Although, there’s definitely a startup cost. If you’re tight on cash, then I wouldn’t recommend it.
I guess the splash shield isn’t essential for driving… although, you should probably get it back on at some point. It’ll keep the elements out of the engine a bit. Getting water down there will probably lead to corrosion in the future. Not to mention rocks that could dent things down there.
It shouldn’t actually be too hard to put it back on. It’s usually just held on by plastic screws. You just need to buy replacement screws (a few bucks) and find a screw driver. The hard part would be lifting the car high enough so you can crawl under it. Then just line up the holes and put the screws on.
Watching this post. I still don’t fully understand how Usenet works.
