Even then, a van is often better and more convenient, depending on the trade.

I mean I’ll create an account and then block any of that data sharing on my router.

My whole house I sent up with Hue lights.

I’m Australian and I’ll be contacting the ACCC.

Hopefully more people end up in the Fediverse.

Seems to be a better representation of people’s views, probably because all the rage-bait and astro-turfing is missing.

It’s insane how different the community behaves on Mastodon/Lemmy vs Twitter/Reddit.

There are some instances with weird admins. But you can just jump instances. And dealing with people is better than dealing with corporations paying PR companies running bot networks.

They are the reason Steam instituted a refund policy globally.

The ACCC have real teeth.

I just made the jump again and I don’t think I’ll be going back to Windows. I’m getting improved performance in many of my favourite titles.

Very happy to be free of windows finally.

I dropped everything in my twenties to look after a dying family member.

Thought my family would support me when all was said and done. I left a very promising career to do this.

Everyone just kind of went their seperate ways and I almost ended up homeless. While my dad immediately found another woman, took all his money and fucked off.

I’m just starting to recover almost a decade later.

I’m kind these days, I think. But I’m not nice.

Devices like this are a lifeline for communities in developing nations. Who are the first and worst affected by water shortages and salt water intrusions into their fresh water sources.

We’re past the point where we can stop it wholesale.

We already have aquifers barely holding on, we’ve lost major sources of fresh water already.

I’m all for climate action, but we also need to starting developing technologies for living in the bed we’ve made.

Folks keep talking about climate change like it’s some future event. You are living through it right now.

Yeah.

I’m personally lucky that my fav titles are CPU hogs, like ARMA 3 and X4: Foundations. Both run better under Linux.

Cyberpunk runs great too, I’m sure once we eventually get the updated drivers for NVIDIA we’ll get Ray Recon too.

Yeah you put it really well.

I generally feel the same way about all Bethesda games. I’ll return after some DLC and Mods have been released.

There is some pretty cringe writing and stylistic choices this time around. Space cowboys and Freestar were conceptualized by a child and the PG pirate brigade are embarassing.

There are some bones for a pretty great empire building mod though. Can’t wait to see a sim-settlements type mod for Starfield.
