How big the front side screen was and if it was a colour display? Unless you liked the look of phone that only had LEDs showing the time on the front.

What ringtones it had (remember this was the age of $1.99 ringtones).

Speed/specs wasn’t too much of a factor as much as looks. As long as it made calls, did texts, play Snake and if you could afford cellular data then receive emails and do light websurfing then it was good enough.

Oh, and in this age the smaller and more compact the phones were the better. Only with smartphones did the trend go into reverse.

In Canada, external hard drives of 8-20TB capacity show up every now and then for a rate of C$20/TB (US$14.50) so it won’t take more than 3 months to offset that cost. As a backup, online s3 storage might be reasonable.

Well it would be a win-win for India, basically Russia gets paid in customer loyalty store points.

Yeah, my local Domino’s had a banger deal this past weekend too, was $15 after tax for a 1-topping large and cinnamon sticks. (~11 USD).

In Canada we still Domino’s have coupons on the website and sometimes they are even mailed out.

And yeah, to get a decent deal you have to only order the pizza, pick it up yourself, get drinks and sides anywhere else if you want them. I’m a sucker for cinnamon sticks and icing that many chains offer.

Flying a VTOL aircraft seems out of reach for me as most are either helicopters or military, but an EVTOL seems like something that could be in reach for me within my lifetime.

Right now I just play with things at a level that I don’t care if they pop out of existence tomorrow.

If you want to be truly safe (at an individual level, not an institutional level where there’s someone with an interest in fucking your stuff up), you need to make sure things are recoverable unless 3 completely separate things go wrong at the same time (an outage at a remote data centre, your server fails and your local backup fails). Very unlikely for all 3 to happen simultaneously, but 1 is likely to fail and 2 is forseeable, so you can fix it before the 3rd also fails.

No one person/company/entity can know everything about me.

Well, they could, but the price would be high and I suppose I’d end up dating someone who went through that level of effort to know me anyway. :P

Check what environmental variables and launch options Lutris is using, and if stuff like gamemoderun is being used, which can help with performance a little or a lot depending on your hardware.

The Lemmy.ca survey in the new year showed similar observations.

Not sure if it’s just the thread format (perhaps mastodon and misskey have a less skewed share), the fact it’s an anonymous platform, or the other factors you talked about.

How to get more diversity? Idk tbh, definitely we should ask people from minority groups for more ideas.

Only thing I can think of: certain communities could transplant themselves over that discuss topics that you don’t currently see much around here that would draw broader interest from other groups.

Woohoo! Always great to read a success story!

Related note: If there was an alternative to Yahoo’s Chiebukuro (Bag of wisdom, a Japanese general q&a forum) in the Fediverse, I’d betcha it would catch on.

Yeah, getting the dedicated graphics card and other peripherals on laptop to work is one step more difficult than on desktops.

Ye

Maybe the person means prepaid debit cards.

I hope someone can help you with this. Maybe you need to make a post disguised as a tutorial, setting it up incorrectly and have someone correct you :P

Yeah. Hopefully this grant can give Immich the TLC it needs to address its current shortcomings.

Lemmuffin day

Louis discusses his experience with Nextcloud in the first portion of the video.

For him, Nextcloud’s gallery app runs much slower than Immich. The Nextcloud app only supports proxy image previews but no proxy video previews, which Immich does.

It could have been £300 and you will still complain and be the sucker for paying for that. Is the seller obligated to ship to you at a price of £2?

You could probably shop around a bunch of Oxfams to (maybe) get the book you wanted for cheap. Or you could also find discounted books at the Oxfam and list them for just £1 or 2 above the sticker price. Is that worth your time?

Like I get being upset at institutional practices like soft drinks costing companies a handful of pence per item when they charge £2.50 (or £4.50 at the cinema), and being stingy on the refills. Books on the other hand are a luxury item that (other than the textbook racket by publishers) you can go without.
