buy a desktop. much easier to repair yourself

i use syncthing to mirror pics on my computers and rsync to back them up on a different computer. (i use raid on my backup server)

just deleted my account and all reddit apps. quit cold turkey. there’s less on Lemmy. but I’m happier, and more productive 🙂

DONATE!

Wikipedia made a conscious choice to remain free, ad free and neutral.

They get my money! Even if they don’t need it.

i don’t follow? the idiots I knew thought they were so important that declaring their non support for Biden/Harris would magically stop the genocide.

I never got a straight answer to the question “what if trump wins? will that be better for Gaza”

there is no way Biden or Harris would have approved the 20 point genocidal plan in the article. this is what they voted for. where are they now?

i hope they vote in midterms…

where are all the folks who said “I’m not voting Harris cause of Gaza”?

somehow I trust bytwdance a lot more than trump backed companies…

moot point though, cause I’m never on tiktok

how did she get this idea into her head in the first place?

one of the worst life ruining decisions a student can make is to rack up student debt, with no means to pay it off after graduation.

look at graduation statistics if they publish it. what is the employment rate and median salary of graduates?

Is the total cost comparable to the median starting salary?

if taking sense into ur daughter isn’t possible, then maybe reason with ur husband based on finances?

i wonder if he survived, would he have changed his position on guns?

if the shooting left him in pain for life, would he still be pushing 2A as hard…

i trust them less that AP but more than most other for profit news platforms. I appreciate that they are fact based and not much “spin” and analysis.

i don’t think having evidence will change anything. there’s a lot of stuff with concrete proof that he got away with…

he has repeatedly violated the hatch act, commited multiple felonies, illegally fired several federal employees, bungled diplomatic relations publicly, funnelled billions of dollars to his family and friends etc .

he got away with it all 🙄

honestly just go on eBay and buy whatever fits your form factor and budget. most modern laptop swill work for you and nonsense paying a premium to get one particular model

my oldest regularly used computer is a 15 year old desktop I use as a backup server at home. my newest is a 4y old laptop. i repurposed 8y old laptop for my kids.

hardware now is so good you don’t need to upgrade much…

codeberg is owned by a nonprofit. highly recommend it

sorry to hear that man. wishing u luck.

jobs come and go but family is forever. so hopefully u get that sorted

what’s your job and family situation? how will missing a week affect things

what’s the context? are they cutting Medicare Medicaid?

the only social media I have is Lemmy and mastodon. I prefer Lemmy to mastodon. (I also have kbin)

I quit Facebook, Reddit, Twitter etc. because of content manipulation. They suppress posts against their agenda and promote those for their agenda. I always knew this, but when I realized I was being influenced, I deleted my accounts and quit.

Only things I’ll use now are open source, decentralized, and non profit owned. (I’ll gladly donate)

how much air conditioning do you have? if you take public transport, is it air-conditioned?
