I’m actually really trying to play devils advocate… But I’m struggling.

I came to get away from the main stream socials.

I came to minimise my farmed data footprint.

I came to find other like minded people.

These principals alone are shared by quite a few I guess.

If we end up hooked up to the machine we were trying to escape from then coming here was near pointless.

Can it make phone calls?

Wooooosh

On Firefox mobile it barely looks different… But what stood out was more bugs. Missing next page buttons and layout issues. So… Good job Reddit… LoL.

That’s true, but also dumb at the same time.

The benefit of reduced drag applies regardless of mode of propulsion.

So really, it’s complexity for complexity sake.

You ever played Receiver?

Not quite John wick but if you like gun handling it’s worth a look.

You just described ARMA3 with some mods.

I remember being tossed in the deep end when the mods were new to me. Having to diagnose and treat gunshot wounds, inject morphine, run fluids etc… even CPR, certain medics could do transfusions, match blood types etc.

Was kinda frightening for a PC game… And often all of this was under enemy fire.

The enemy would be injured, shot, concussed, knocked unconscious, lose blood etc. the potential existed for them to regain consciousness after a while and if you hadn’t removed their weapons they could fire in you. Surprised the shit out of people not used to these mods… Always had to check downed hostiles.

I think this is the best take. This alone if it went nowhere is fairly harmless.

But I think we know what it really is, is the start of a slippery slope.

127.0.0.1 is you

Removed by mod

I’d be careful with that suggestion. Some external readers will only read SATA M.2, Dube will only read NVMe M.2.

Ideally you’d want I’ve is each or one that will do both for maximum compatibility.

Though most drives do seem to be NVMe now.

Any more info on this Eufy issue? A came across a camera system if theirs that’s having issues. Might have to read up tomorrow.

Ooof… Half that list is illegal to DIY in Australia. We have the dumbest laws for electrical and plumbing.

The biggest thing killing Lemmy for me is needing a seperate account on every single instance if I want to participate in anything on an instance.

I thought this wasn’t how it was supposed to work.

I saw this post on another instance and tried to reply this exact message but got an error saying I couldn’t.

Using Liftoff if it matters.

Ham Radio

Some aren’t even aware the hobby still exists.

Easy to get licenced in most places, ham radios are cool pieces of clever tech. So many sub hobbies within. Digital modes, long distance, electronics, antenna design and building.

All it has to do is affect one person that needs that feature and it’s a no go for that person.

It is rare for me but it is still an issue.

Formatting being broken is an even worse issue and happens far too often.

If I had a dollar for everytime someone said Linux isn’t bad now is be living on Mars.

What you’re really saying is your needs are simple and you’ve managed to get what you need.

This does not translate to everyone as others might have more complex needs than you.

TrackIR is still a nightmare on Linux, and searching for help with that reveals about 10 situations where no one got a good result and one person who seemingly got lucky.

Another issue is MS Office. Formatting and macros get broken by FOSS alternatives so don’t even go there.

There are at least a dozen more issues (NVIDIA, difficult hardware etc …).

Suffice to say everytime someone pops up saying it works now just starts looking silly.

Until we get native support and better documentation and testing Linux is still an outlier for anything more than basic productivity or gaming in a bubble.
