there are a lot of options for keeping people connected that dont require a phone like matrix, xmpp and a much bigger etc. so if someone wanted to ditch their phone and only use their linux laptop, would that be possible?? thank you!!
There’d be a few times it would be really inconvenient.
For example some concerts only allow tickets from the Ticketmaster app, not even a printed ticket. Though possibly showing the ticket on the laptop would work but then I’m not sure they’d let you bring a laptop into a concert.
You don’t have to knead it? Whenever I try to make bread I find I’m kneading forever and it sticks to everything and I get flour all over then it turns out really dense.
It’s a l but of a luxury weight wise but my backpacking chair. It’s relatively light for a chair but still heavy for portages but it makes the whole camp so much more comfortable.
Even within unions it can be bad. I was in a union and the company did something against the contact so I talked to the union reps. They told me I shouldn’t grieve because the company gets mad at me, but I insisted so they said they’d look into it and get back to me. A month later they said they asked but found out there is a three week window so I missed it.
Not the other poster but a Canadian too. It varies. To see my GP I can get an appointment within the week, usually same day, though most people here need to wait a couple weeks. Then there GP refers me to specialists, that’s usually between 1-6 months wait.
Emergency yeah you are usually looking at 4 hours wait absolute minimum. Though you don’t get charged for it at least. Though I guess it depends on severity, they will prioritize by how serious it is not by first arrival.
The other thing the other poster didn’t mention is that medication is not covered so you have to pay full for that unless you have insurance. Also for some reason dental isn’t covered at all without insurance (or I think recently for low income families but I’m not 100% sure if that’s implemented yet or not)
Woah seriously for vasectomy? I’ll want one in about a year should I try to get an appointment now? Though to be honest I wasn’t sure if it’d be completely covered or not.
The last time I tried to make video chat work with people, we dived between jitsi, facebook messenger, zoom... until something worked well enough. what are people using here now? Jitsi? Google Meet? Whatsapp? Facebook Messenger? Zoom? Skype? Facetime, somehow? The builtin thing in matrix that used to be jitsi but I think they...
I think what they are saying is: Lemmy itself has an option you set on your profile that shows or hides read posts. That’ll apply forever no matter which client you use, but you can’t even see your own posts that way so it’s frustrating.
Then the clients themselves, like sync, might have their own option to hide read that works independently of the Lemmy setting, in which case they should have more control over it.
In my case I have Lemmy set to show read posts but sync set to hide them but like other people have said, it doesn’t seem to work perfectly.
Is there any kind of printed Warhammer community? I’m starting up an ork army and looking for good models. Leaning towards station forge but they are definitely a different aesthetic.

For a while now I’ve really been into an old Star Wars system called Saga Edition that I appreciate greatly for its ability to really customize a character. A major part of that customization comes from its use of a talent system instead of most other systems that automatically assign class features, and I’m curious if there...
WFRP (Warhammer Fantasy role play) has a fun system where there are lots of careers, but those careers have talent options. Each talent isn’t limited to one career so there is overlap but the combination of talents and skills is what makes the careers unique.

I started and finished the first two Murderbot books from Martha Wells (All Systems Red, Artificial Condition). Reading the ebooks I didn’t realize how short they were until I got to near the end. I guess they count as novellas? But it’s nice to have something fun and easily digestible now and then so I’ll start the third tonight.
Children of Time was very good. There is a sequel, no? But I never read it.
I’m looking for an eReader that doesn’t lock me into a particular ecosystem or format. Ideally I came just copy files over to it and have them work....
At the moment I’ve got frigate running on an old dell server through proxmox, writing to drives on that server, but they are shared with a lot of other services....
Technically it was nonoperating before, but explicitly did not allow camping, and had really rough access, so this is nice. Though I was hoping the new park would have more canoe routes.
would it be possible to live in the modern world only using a laptop?? no cellphone anything
