PANIC

“When the punishment for the crime is less than the profits made committing the crime, that is legal immunity. It’s a very, very loud signal in a system of democracy that says, ‘Do it again, only this time, leverage more!’“ - Andreas Antonopoulos

Queen, Under Pressure: Are we joke to you?

MAGAts: Welp, this blew up in my face. But thank god my deposit for the Trump Phone is secured. Can’t wait to get it and support freedom! —- wait, you mean we still don’t have a release date and no one is answering our phone calls? What do you mean it has specs from 2018?

Sad Skull and Bones noises

Just a heads up that the Smart virus is spreading to monitors, too. In a few years most monitors will be Smart.

I agree with the meme because damn I can’t wait to leave wherever I’m at and go home

But on a more serious level, why should you be leaving so quickly? It’s bad for the car to start it and then immediately take off.

If your gas engine car has been parked for a long time and has cooled from operating temps, you need to give it time to warm up first. Start the car and let it run for a minute. This allows time for fluids to cycle through your engine and radiator. Then you can drive, but don’t drive hard until your oil temp and coolant temp gauges rise to normal operating levels. Treat it like a workout for your body; you don’t go outside and then immediately begin sprinting. You want to start slow to warm up your muscles first.

Note: some modern cars indicate in the owner’s manual you can drive after 10 seconds from starting your car. You can listen to the manual since the engineers built your car and know it best. However, giving it sufficient time for fluids to flow through is always best. I always wait about a minute to play it safest.

Preach! Wise words from the ancient philosopher space between the anus and the genitals.

Nein!

MAGA: Quiet, Piggy! Trump was appointed by God to lead this country!

God: Bite his dick off!

I picked up a 2025 P14s Gen 6. Wanted Ethernet and the ability to easily swap both RAM sticks in the future. Apart from the soldered WiFi chip, this computer is by far one of the most modern and repairable ones I’ve seen. Perfectly runs Fedora KDE, too.

T series are also fantastic, but at the time it wasn’t as repairable given one RAM stick was soldered and the other was replaceable. Also because of the form factor it didn’t have Ethernet.

Can’t go wrong with a P series if your needs are similar to mine in a computer for long-term use.

Edit: Forgot to add that while my P14s Gen 6 is great, the biggest complaint is the soldered USB C ports for power delivery. That’s a huge point of failure. I mitigate the weak point by using a magnetic USB C cable. It’s nice to see the the new T series has modular USB C / thunderbolt ports and remediates the weak point that was a common complaint for users.

We investigated ourselves and found that the Dow is over 50,000.

You have to be really, really fast. But it can be done. I find that if you can accurately speak in dial up tones to your phone, you should be able to snap a photo while you’re communicating with it.

Midichlorians are the powerhouse of the Force.

That’s not a relevant comparison. You’re comparing war and human lives with social media platforms. I very much care about what happens in war. I don’t very much care when it comes to social media. I’ve opted out and moved onto the Fediverse, and deleted all my old social media accounts. Reddit users get burned over and over but still continue to use the platform.

It’s a fair point given the size of Lemmy World. But if it went poof, most of us (me included) would pick a new server - hopefully one of the more medium sized ones rather than the larger pillars. Beauty of decentralisation.

Grass is much greener here on our new lawns compared to the old Reddit lawns, which switched to AstroTurf.

Okay, so the neighbors are doing something weird at their house? Good for them I guess. But who cares?

Meanwhile we’re here chilling on the Fediverse immune from their harm because we’ve opted out of centralisation by corporations.

Are you encrypting your data before it goes to Backblaze? And if so, are you also testing those encrypted backups?
