Exactly - I’m still very happy with my 4a. A used 5, 6 or 7a would be very cheap and very usable.

It might be expensive, but still worth a short visit. I’ve got a shockingly bad memory, but I’ll never forget the awe I felt waking up to a view of the Alps.

On a Commodore64?

I recently learned this, and changed mine to English only. I still see non-English communities in All. I suspect it’s up to community owners to set the language of their community and a lot don’t?

Wow, that brings back memories. Slackware 3.x was my into to Linux in the '90s.

Or, the adrenaline triggers me to tell my boss I can’t do this any more, get up and walk out of a client meeting and not answer any calls from work for a few days.

You’re probably about my age. I was just late getting into computers. First attempt at university was dumb terminals connected to some Unix host. Failed everything and dropped out. Went back a few years later and had 8086 based PCs booting DOS off diskettes.

Took a while, but I found “me”. Slackware 3.1 was 3 or 4 boxes of floppies if I remember correctly. A full box, or more maybe, for X!

We’ve got a 12 year old mixed breed dog (part Irish Wolfhound) with arthritis in her hips and spine and she’s really been struggling to get up on our hard floors. My wife did some research and found Dr Buzby’s toe grips. They seem expensive for little bits of rubber, but two days in now and they seem to actually work!

It’s a good read. I have aphantasia and really struggle with reading non fiction. I was able to read, and enjoy, this in a couple of sittings.

Of course! It’s amazing how this stuff just flows from the keyboard when you’re typing in a shell window, but feels awkward when typing in a Lemmy comment.

Yep - I use Facebook and Instagram regularly. I spend a lot of time in both tapping on “hide this” or “show less of this” or “report and block user”, but I find it worth it for the interactions with some like minded people in hobby related groups. I’m aware of the privacy implications, but I figure I’ve been there for so long there’s not much more for them to learn about me. I use ad and tracker blocking to slow them down a little.

That one hurts. So much time wasted playing fucking solitaire.

I’m the same. When I was recently buying some new wool socks the seller said something like “these are great - you can wear them for days without washing” and I thought that was gross - but he was right. I leave them loosely sitting on top of my boots to air overnight and they are ready for another day.

I’ve been using vim since it was just vi and I can’t even begin to think about using it on a virtual keyboard!

Thank you - your description is the only one that allowed me to see the “other” perspective. If I really focus on the “wrong” bottom face and bottom left vertex I can see it the wrong way for a short time but the instant me brain notices the top right vertex it flips back.

Oh wow - that looks interesting. I’ve been investing a bit of time recently getting into musicbrainz/listenbrainz - now I’m torn.

No h on the end - just Jerboa
