Alright everyone, good result. See you all here in a couple years for the new iteration

Beat me to it :)

Yes. I avoid the big brands, and try to research as much as possible. For clothes in particular i dont go clothes shopping often, but for groceries, I use the NoThanks app to see if the product is owbed by a company contributing to world suffering. If its a obe time purchase of somethibg like a mouse/keyboard or other such item where you biy it once but its meant to last, I do my best to avoid the same things, but if there is no choice I have to go with the less ethical version sadly.

Would you (personally) trust me to build a bridge you cross everyday on your way to work, as someone who has never built anything before (other than software)?

Haven’t celebrated a birthday since I was 5, I hate it.

I think on my 18th I just got up and went to school like normal. Didn’t tell anyone it was my birthday, so everyone acted like regular, then I went home and probably did what I did every evening back then, which is either youtube, games, or coding (one of those, i dont remember which specifically).

What does this have to do with the community?

Looks interesting, but sadly its not available in my country, same as Quobuz :/

Edit: Why are these platforms only available in certain countries?

As someone from a country that Quobuz doesnt support, and someone not willing to give money to a US owned company (Tidal), what are my options for streaming music? Something that has playlists obviously, and allows me to save the stuff I like. Possibly being able to add downloaded songs if theyre not available in the services library(?)

Is there anything like this? Most suggestions here on lemmy seem to be for Quobuz or Tidal

Recently had an issue with qt5-webengine not building, leading to stremio not updating. Every fix i tried i had to try to rebuild, only for it to fail until a glorious person posted a comment on its AUR page.

Also, fuck electron

Im a neovim user myself, and i swapped my caps and escape keys at the os level. I touch another computer and am WONDERING WHY IM WRITING LIKE THIS xD

I dont want to repeat since that may just get my comment also removed, but I dont know if you can see the comment contents in the modlog or not.

That whole series is great, I rewatch it every so often

Whats wrong with slavs? I agree with you about tha yanks part though.

• From a different device, start changing all logins/passwords
• Move your 2 factor authenticator to a different device for now, while changing passwords (set it up on the uncompromised device)
• Write everything new down in a notebook temporarily
• Once everything is changed and the password manager no longer contains valid passwords, factory reset the phone if you cant get a new one.
• Re-add everything from the notebook to the (assumed) clean device, and destroy the pages of the notebook that you wrote sensitive stuff on
• Re-move authenticator to factory reset phone after a while

Assuming you got compromised by downloading something, or opening a phishing email or something like that, a factory reset should be enough to clear everything malicious. Im assuming this isnt a targetted attack against you specifically. If it is, the attack may be more complicated and go deeper than a factory reset could clear. Im not a phone guy though, so I dont know much about how that would work, I just believe it is likely to be possible.

Im not saying that nor advocating communism, im just stating that what you said about the reason you think people only do those jobs, I believe at least, is false simply by counterargument. Ask any one of the people who enjoy that kind of work environment if they would ever work in an office, closed in a room seated at a desk all day, and most would probably say you couldnt pay them enough to do it. To them, even if you DO give them more money, its not a reward/compensation because they value different things.

Im one of the office-type people. Id like to think what I do has value to society, and I believe I would do it regardless of the compensation/regardless of if I got the same money as a lumberjack, because I enjoy it. Thats another angle: if everyone is paid the same, why not do what you enjoy. If what you enjoy is being in the woods cutting trees, or on a boat in the sea, or in a tower in isolation for weeks (fire watcher), or any number of other “undesirable” jobs, and youd still get paid a living wage for doing that, same as everyone else, why would you ever subject yourself to something miserable for you, for no better reward?

Someone who enjoys being out at sea, or in the woods might find those occupations fun 🤷‍♂️

Aha i didnt know about this. Thanks, its something im interested in looking into more on my own

I see. If at all avoidable, id like to avoid bambu if they are on the path of locking down, despite how easy they are. Opennes is really important to me, so if I didnt go for bambu, nor creality, what are ky other options at aprice range that is a logical investment for a first printer? If theres nothibg else, Ill just buy a bambu, but id rather not

May i ask why? Im planning on buying one in the coming months, and crealitys are available on my local second hand store page (like fb marketplace but dedicated site only for my country).

Id rather not get a bambu if they really are locking everything down, so not sure what else is left

Having to spend time around people I dont care about but have to pretend I do. Also my birthday is soon after, which overall makes the season depressing.
