Not to downplay any of the myriad problems here in the USA, but I think many of us are trying to believe that a better world is possible and this sometimes leads to unrealistic views of how much better things are abroad. Sometimes.

But I am hopeful that this country is increasingly humiliated for at least a couple of decades.

I was never willing to give my life for anything and that's still true.

My AI can do that actually.

I don't think writers should be paid either. We have AI to do all writing now anyway, so what do we need writecels for anyway? 😏

If streaming in home is all you do, I find lighter/cheaper android handhelds are a better option.

I'm with you. I appreciate Librewolf for what it is, but to me it's just annoying by default and I've also settled recently with Zen. It has even made me get used to using vertical tabs for the first time.

I saw on Mastodon someone say something kinda like this: good people don’t feel the need to dominate others.

I worry this is just rationalizing ones passivity as just an inherent part of ones assumed "goodness."

It makes sense to if they want their encrypted email magic to be useful. A paid user can instruct a contact to make a free proton mail account in order to have secure communication with them

That's good, they might have improved. Mine didn't last a year, but I think it was an earlier version.

It was a few years ago so I can't really comment on newer versions. But I recall the plastic bottom coming away from the top more and more over time. They don't manufacture their own laptops, so they are kinda stuck relying on a third party. (Clevo, I think.)

The US government has something of a credibility crisis, doesn't it? (And I don't think it started with Trump, though he makes it worse.)

 

I have recently started getting into film photography and I'm still learning the ropes. After buying a variety of color and black and white films to experiment with, I noticed that I somehow accidentally bought a couple of rolls of very high speed Ilford Delta ISO 3200 film. At this point, all I have is a Kodak Ektar H35N and an Olympus Pen-EES 2 which has a max ISO of 400. Is the Ilford film useless to me, or can it be used at lower speeds in certain conditions?

EDIT: This is tangential, but I was originally going to ask this question on Reddit instead of Lemmy because the conventional wisdom is that Lemmy isn't useful yet for more niche topics, but I thought "why not try Lemmy first anyway," and I'm glad I did. I found the most active film photography community on Lemmyverse.net (which hadn't yet even federated to my small instance) and it paid off. How nice!

I was made moderator of the /c/TrueAnon on the lemmy.ml instance a while ago, and none of my actions have ever federated to lemmy.ml, so I gave up. Thought I'd try again after this upgrade and still no dice. The response I'm getting back from the API when I try to add my lemmy.ml account to moderator status is "not_a_moderator." Is this a transient federation issue or are there more fixes required for this scenario to work correctly?

We welcome back our friend, author Douglas Rushkoff, to discuss what’s real and what’s fake about the AI publicity push, the next phase of the internet, and human connection in the oppressive techno-future.

 

Looking forward to this machine. The only thing that would preempt my purchasing a Framework 16 might be the System76 Virgo laptop, but that seems to still be in early dev.

I play with an Index. I'm looking for an alternative though, and the one game I play regularly is Beat Saber. I'd like to know what the experience is like with other hardware.

We come in peace and go to pieces by going back on everything we’ve ever said and doing a UFO episode. We examine the recent claims that the US government has an alien spaceship. Featuring the Smoking Men @bpleasies (twitter.com/bpleasies) and @RobertSkvarla (twitter.com/RobertSkvarla).

 

The sole moderator hasn't been active for 2 years. I just want to remove/update the sticky post for the most part. And no disrespect for @[email protected], if they come back I'm happy to add them as a moderator once again.

 

We are forced by Fate and obsession to follow the tale of the Titan in its journey into the deep — and into the very gates of what scientists are calling "Wet Hell."
