Power always corrupts.

Still rocking BeOS :)

The car.

Thank you for your service :)

Did this but 28 weeks is garbage and I gave up

I have been thinking about not replacing my laptop and just getting a steam deck (or a Lenovo?) kb, mouse and a bigger external screen if I need it.

Will that work ?

Doesn’t seem to bother most people in Australia, many just use a lot of whataboutism condemning Chinese vehicles and then unironically going on about how you should ignore politics becase Tesla’s cars “are great”.

We’re majoroty polotically conservative and there are many stupid Trump supporters here, in a LeopardsAteMyFace way.

Theres also lots of competition now, we have no tarrifs on Chinese cars in Australia and BYD for example is selling well and Tesla only has 2 models here, the 3 amd the Y (RHD country).

Onky real dislike is communities disparate across instances. /c/linux here /c/linux there /c/linix every fucking where. There should be some way for communities who want to federate, to federate?

Companies charging what they can to make a profit is how the ayawten is supposed to work,.ideally folks would juat move away, especailly with a want and not a need. The tech soace in particular ia rife with this, it’s why I stoped uaing; Sony, Nintendo, Apple, Microsoft and Adobe etal products.

To answer the OP I went the other way, Obsidian to Joplin. Very mich not a heavy user

This happened to me a few years ago (W10) with OneDrive but I had another copy and gave up quickly trying to engage with MS.

I use Lunix Mint now anyway, that was another reason for moving from Windows at the time.

I have one as well (own launcher aa well) but the perennial “when in heck will they update it” becomes an issue. It is getting old now. I use Kodi and YT Next mostly but supplemnt that with some local Australia FTA TV apps (ABC and SBS). I mean where else can we get such awesome TV as “Black As”

Sorry to thread jack. One little app I miss from Windows is a simple screengrab annotator? Wondering if people have anything to recommend.

Eg to circle some on screen text, add an arrow and maybe add some of my own text.

I cant get my Loigtech KB to screen grab, so I just use the Screengrab app in Mint, which is fine but zero annotation abilities.

I have tried Flameshot but it is a shitshow and doesn’t work properly and is unstable (for me) and doesn’t allow me to put it in the clipboard and paste in say Signal.

I don’t really get the whole NAS thing i must admit. Most of what I read about what people are doing is enabling slacker family and friends ? (That’s not a critisism, just an observation)

I have a TV, a HDD connected on the router and Kodi on the Nvidia Shield Pro. Any music is stored on my phone, or streamed via Netradio

I very occasionally copy media across to my phone to watch and then… it sits there and I dont watch it.

My parter uses Kodi on the TV occasioanly.

I don’t stream anything aside from some YT occasionally (DIY etc)

I get people do endless shit with their NAS, or server but I’m am retired and don’t have the time

Books are managed via Calibre on a a Kobo.

So their kids don’t have to be with the poors ?

Pirate bay ;)

I think we should just go the Swiss-route and do direct democracy;

That’s literally the Anarchy system. I.e Laws and no leaders.

As an Australian who has ranked choice (we call it preferential) it’s not the panecea folks here seem to think it is to bring about the enlightenment.

I’m 58, have voted in every election from when I was eligible through to this year. We don’t have ICE but we have Border Force and we routinely deport non citizens, we inspect digital devices at the border, we off shore legal refugees in internment camps, we have zero care for the enviorment and love penis shaped defence spending, we are a car dependent shit hole with few redeeming qualities… It’s ever been thus, Donad Horne oponed on this in the 1970s.

We don’t have feedom of the press or freedom of speech, so often these things are unable to even be reported on at all and our most egregious atrocities have widespread support amongst the broader population. In that respect its not as big a divisor as. n the US as we’re all arseholes :) We’re happy to allow religious scumbags to discriminate against LGBQT folks, happy to have our privacy removed, are quite fond of fucking over our indigenous peoples and the wider enviorment and near zero concern for exestential issues like climate change. We’re happy to shit over homeless people and have unaffordable housing and racism is broadly endemic.

We have never elected a government that i think is anything but objectively fucking horrible, we have our tongue firmly stuck up the US foreign policy asshole and follow them into every stupid dumb shit military action. We have had the occasionally decent poltican but then so does the US (Bernie etc) .

Like us, your people are broken and you’re not going to cure what ails ya’ with RCV.

Ask Trump?

I find the actual user ENGAGEMENT significantly worse.

That’s the point though?

I don’t use Mastodon for engagement but a feed of interesting stuff across a variety of subjects posted by others. Masto is a little bit like an RSS feed, I don’t castigate RSS for that either.

Therefore I’ve come to the clear scientific and educated decision that Lemmy is simply superior

Sarcasm aside, that’s like saying a screwdriver is better then a hammer.

Intelligence? Talent? No, the ultra-rich got to where they are through luck and brutality.
