I also like the wide range of sources to pull down content and have it available vs sometimes having to wrestle with a streaming site in the moment.

Bonus points if you can enumerate all tables.

Podcasts and audiobooks are great for keeping the mind amused while doing representative tasks.

Are you me? Seriously, I have been slowly migrating my windows primary machine to a Mint system. I bought my first M.2 NVME and am loving the responsiveness.

The drives coming out of there are going to my file server, which is all the components I was using before the upgrade.

Can’t. I’m too busy planning projects that I will either start now or do later.

It’s fine. Just always be present. 100% of the time. Always be aware of what you are doing, what you need to do, and what you are doing next. Don’t forget to be thinking about what is happening today. Also, keep in mind what is happening next week.

Pretty sure I forgot to take my stomach pill today. The same pill I take every morning, for about 7 years.

Oops.

I’m having a ton of fun with Mint. I’m finding it tight, full of relevant software, and quite configurable.

Here is a test comment. I was having trouble posting elsewhere.

That was my gut reaction, but that logic also perpetuated leaded fuel.

None taken! I have already moved on to laser printers. It is literally one less problem in my house. I can’t imagine freaking out and trying to get just a few more pages from my printer, but I was there once.

Facebook still does this to me. I log in via Web app now.

Sometimes you could rescue them by blotting them on an alcohol soaked paper towel.

The real cost of an inkjet is that one needs to buy ink regardless of whether they print. It tends to dry out over a few months. If you don’t happen to use all the 100-200 pages, the money is wasted.

In the past, just because the printer was on sale, I have been able to buy a cheap printer for less than new ink.

I bought a brother a couple of years ago for just under $200. That was the cost of 4 sets of ink. I have replaced the toner a couple of times at $17 each. Each replacement has lasted me a few thousand pages.

This was a replacement to a pair of brother printers of the same model I obtained via yard sale for a total cost of $10. These yard sale printers would have lasted longer if not for small children and dogs.

I have probably printed 6k pages for the cost of $180 over the course of several years. Most of the printing has been school work for kids and forms in general.

Someone actually wrote that? It reads like AI generated fluff.

Here is a message for you.

IIRC the vendors were obligated to identify themselves. Some of the vendors were just people making hardware mods, too.

I can’t speak to the quality issues, but I understand that some of the accidents are caused by the software correcting unexpectedly, and the user overcorrecting. This is compounded by changes to the software and features.

The glaring engineering issue I have seen is issues with the batteries being discharged and users having no access to the vehicle even though the aux power has juice left (this could be backwards).

For the fires, the lithium batteries become incendiary devices once they are ruptured.

Unless we can do something about the batteries flaming and burning the contents to pure ash, they will gain a worsening reputation on their own.

Best I can say is that you have your local server, which is the server you originally signed up in. You then have all the rest of the connected (federated) servers that can see what you say.

Each server is its own mini-lemmy, so it is broken down into communities just like subreddits. Each has its own server administrators and each community has its own moderators.

Regarding content delivery, it seems to be about the same process: a link, image, video, or text from a certain community. The responses are similarly threaded with buttons for interaction.

The largest differences I have seen are that each server instance can have duplicate communities. Different servers have different tolerances for communities. In extreme cases, whole servers can be blocked (defederated) from your server. This is usually due to unwanted behavior from the users that is not curbed by the moderators or extreme communities that cause hardship for other users.

This is what I got after about a week of lurking. If I’m not correct, please let me know.

My sarcasm detector is making strange noises. We may have a false positive here!

Hey, I loved watching people nerd out on their flashlights! Actually, I was there to get insight on how they were building their own awesome lights, and trying to understand what the difference between lights was.
