Thanks, you’re right, I could have left a short summary. Here you go:

It’s a TED talk from Carole Cadwalladr, a British Investigative Journalist, about the rise of technology, the downfall of democracy and the broad data/privacy problems that we all face.

Re: clickbait junk. Uh ok. If you say so 👍

The beautiful clean coal.

Nice

I have a Bambu A1, and yes it really is a great printer. The firmware BS is crossing a line though, and that company will not get another dollar from me. My next printer will be a Prusa or a Voron.

I just did some experimenting, and in duckduckgo.com at least, searches like this work quite well:

“Best CPU (site:lemm.ee OR site:lemmy.world OR site:lemmy.ca)”

Not exactly user friendly, but it’s a starting point. At least two ways forward:

1. A browser plugin with a config page allowing you to select/deselect your favourite instances, and make a bang operator to suit: e.g. “!lemmy”

2. Petition search engines to do this themselves.

Any advice on how to move a server over to a matrix/element based setup?

I have a feeling there will be resistance to change, because many of the core people there seem to be discord fans and are longtime users.

Yeah this - this would be really great.

Well said. Thank you for helping me to clarify my own thoughts on this.

Mount washmore. Literal lol. 😄 Thank you. Stealing this.

All good points. 👍

Nonprofits are allowed to make a profit. They just have to roll it back into the operation. (Can’t hand it out to shareholders, board members, etc.)

Thanks that’s good to know. I’ve got a Dyson V8 and I also have a fair sized collection of Bosch blue 18V stuff. But my point was really that DeWalt 20V and Bosch 18V (for example) is the same number of cells and same pack voltage at different points in the charge cycle. It’s just that one is marketed differently.

I believe 18V and 20V lithium batteries are two ways of talking about the same thing (5 lithium cells in series, making up the battery). One refers to the nominal voltage of the pack, and the other refers to the maximum voltage of the pack. I think certain manufacturers (DeWalt, and possibly others) started using the max voltage as a marketing tactic.

I have a bit of a split response to this. On one hand, I have a workshop which is absolutely packed with tools, machines, materials and so on. I can make and repair almost anything in there. Many people would look in the workshop and assume I am a hoarder.

But as far as my living space, I love a clean, uncluttered place. I will get rid of kitchen gadgets, books, disks, furniture, clothes, etc if it is not adding something useful or beautiful to my life. I have half a dozen matching t-shirts same for underwear and socks. I will regularly go through out kitchen cupboards and take things we can’t/don’t use to other people or food bank etc. I am a frequent visitor of the “tip shop” near where I live and things get repurposed and rehomed there. I love a clean streamlined life, I would be more streamlined if the people I live with were more into that mindset 😁

My go-to is folks, but 1000 others have mentioned that already. So I will throw in “people”.

“Hey people, how’s it going?”

That works for me

I am here very much as a lurker for now. I am working my way through “the book” (and am also about halfway through rustlings). But I would love to see this community thrive and succeed. I will try harder to engage on posts that are relevant to me, and make new posts if/when I can.

This is brilliant. Thank you!

Sounds great. I am interested and would love to follow development. I’ll check out the gitlab page. Thanks 👍
