That’s really awesome

Any specific brand recommendations? Asking for a friend of course.

Lol, fair enough.

I read my first book in 11 years, I finished it 2 weeks ago. It’s The Expanse. I loved the series and someone gifted me the first book.

My trick? I commute by train and have my book with me everywhere I go. If there’s waiting to be done, there’s reading time.

Is Mastadon different?

But they don’t make them anymore :(

Thanks for the suggestion, I was looking at buying another soldering iron. I’m using a really obscure brand one that I got from my dad and that I have been using since I was around 8 (30 years ago).

I can only get replacement tips in South Africa so was looking for something with more support.

Honest question, how long is the fluid supposed to last? And I’m not talking about burning time. I have a zippo, I fill it, a few weeks later I go to use it and the flame lasts a few seconds as the fuel finishes.

Felt the same about Lemmy when I signed up.

Maggots aren’t worms.

You mean the infamous hacker Anonymous, it’s just one person who is on 4chan all the time time.

I initially hated Zoom, but honestly, it did its job really well

Let us not forget confluence

Fancy predictive text

I use GPT and CoPilot at work and they’ve definitely made my life easier and me more productive. I guess that it depends on what management expects of the employees. It’s not a magic bullet.

Also freelancers are saving the day? Whelp, looks like full time jobs are on the chopping block then. And I wish that this was restricted to the American corporate hellscape but unfortunately their bullshit is like a bad infection that spreads across the world.

Someone I know went to Switzerland recently, I’m not sure how much exactly it cost but I think around 25k eur. It was a degenerative disease.

Best part is something similar happened with certain Linux distros a few months back.

I’ve done some reprehensible things, but I don’t think I’m a bad person. Bit of a short temper but I try be good to everyone and not hurt or use people like I was. But if karma existed, you would say I was a veritable Genghis Khan

They pioneered modern day planned obsolescence, they also popularised unrepairable electronics. They try to block or bastardise any right to repair bills. They force chip distributors to not sell chips they use so their products can’t be repaired. They make building applications for Mac at scale a huge pain in the ass and extremely expensive, the solution I recently built wastes insane amounts of power because of the way Apple licenses their stuff. Overall it’s a shitty company who fucks poor people in developing nations, fucks the environment and fucks it’s customers. I don’t care how well it may or may not work, fuck Apple.

Also OSX ui is shit and annoying.

Same here. I’ll pirate the security updates for the next 3 years and then switch. Fuck Windows 11 and fuck Microsoft.
