JovialSodium,

I use rsync for this purpose and the only notable bottleneck is my download speed, fwiw.

JovialSodium,

Hopefully some better advice comes along that doesn’t involve compromising your ideals, which is what I’m about to suggest.

It seems to me the most likely way to meet likeminded people is to find groups and events in your area. And you’re going to have the most luck with those big privacy invading social media services. It sucks, yes. But it also increases your chances of creating local friendships.

Up to you if it’s worth it or not, of course.

JovialSodium,

I was thinking more as a gateway to finding new people in person. Once established, you can choose a different means of staying in contact.

But if any amount of usage may lead to self harm then don’t, of course.

JovialSodium,

My first thought when seeing but before reading is “OP should replace the screen”. But I can respect you wanting to keep it original.

Great work, looks nice!

JovialSodium, (edited )

I wonder how repairable and maintainable these will be as compared to EV’s from other markets and if replacement batteries will be available as the original ones reach the end of their useful life.

If these concerns end up being valid, and the tariffs are large enough that these cars aren’t priced particularly competitively, that’d be enough for this EV consumer to pass it up for his next vehicle. Will be interested to see how it plays out.

Edit: Wanted to say I’m not against Chinese EV’s. If it ends up making sense to get one, I will.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

JovialSodium,

+1 for checking out Strange New Worlds. Haven’t seen Lower Decks yet (besides the crossover episode)

JovialSodium,

Strange New Worlds feels a lot like older Trek. But if your feelings about the other recent series have soured you to the point of being unwilling to try another series, that’s your perogative. But I think you’re missing out.

JovialSodium,

You should check protondb and see if your games of choice are supported, if you’ve not done so already.

I completely jumped ship from Windows the better part of a year ago now and haven’t encountered a single game that didn’t run, at the least, reasonably well. And usually just fine OOB. Though ymmv of course.

JovialSodium,

“Peak Windows” is a fun one to ponder. I’d probably pick XP for fairly high reliability and fairly low bloat. Or 2000 if taking business oriented versions in to consideration.

JovialSodium,

One at random that I enjoyed that I don’t think is well known is “God Bless America (2012)”.

The title might be misleading, so I’ll say that it is not a religious or patriotic film.

JovialSodium,

Reel Big Fish - Sell Out

Tool - Hooker With A Penis

JovialSodium,

Shopping at big box warehouse club stores has this solution built in, with the unfortunate downside of having to go in to those stores.

The Microsoft-Dilemma - Europe as a Software Colony | Full Documentary (kolektiva.media)

Many state and public administrations from Helsinki to Lisbon operate with the software of the US corporation. It makes them vulnerable for hackers and spies, violates European public procurement law, blocks technical progress and costs Europe dearly. Harald Schumann and his Investigate Europe research team have spoken to...

JovialSodium,

German Bundestag have therefore repeatedly called for state IT systems to be converted to open source software that can be tested by Europe’s own security authorities.

The idea of all the governing bodies of an entire continent doing this and collectively giving Microsoft the middle finger pleases me.

JovialSodium,

Re: cell phone scanning. I’ve seen these camera based book scanners popping up recently. I’ve never used one so I can’t comment on how good they are, but when I read your workflow it occured to me it was worth mentioning. Here’s a search result I arbitrarily picked listing some.

JovialSodium,

I had the same problem with enshrouded, including desktop sluggishness. I “fixed” it by fiddling with detail settings until I found one thing that had a significant performance impact. I want to say it was something to do with shadows? I’ll try to remember to look when I’m at my desk. Hopefully someone has a better answer/suggestion, but something to try.

Also, did vulkan shaders run and complete? Mine don’t on Enshrouded, get stuck at 99%. I know that can have a performance impact.

JovialSodium,

I’m guily of the hopping on the bandwagon from Void to NixOS. But out of curiosity for NixOS not frustration over Void. Void is awesome, it fits the completely subjective picture in my head of what Linux should be.

JovialSodium,

Could I maintain the same OS install for the life of a device? Sure. Can I resist disro hopping? Nope!

I made it, I think, 3 years on a Fedora install once.

JovialSodium,

I use file syncing (Syncthing) and symlinks to keep configs for some apps synced between devices. I don’t for Firefox, but it might work.

JovialSodium, (edited )

It doesn’t copy data, no. Symlink is short for symbolic link. So it’s a pointer to another location. But it might be useful for you. Taking a guess at your goal, here’s a relevant example.

Say you moved all of your emulation stuff stored under /media/largehdd/retroarch. You could then symlink that directory to ~/.config/retroarch like so:

ln -s /media/largehdd/retroarch ~/.config/retroarch

That data is still stored on the large drive but will now also show under that symlinked directory.

JovialSodium,

I was EV shopping five years ago and I chose not to buy a Tesla because the company was too new, wanted to go with a more established company. Now I wouldn’t buy one because of him. So as far as this individual potential consumer goes, yep.

JovialSodium,

Apology not needed.

I agree with you. The ozone layer is a great example of this being successful. And there are other examples of this kind of issue elsewhere. Like the we have to push for user repair rights or against planned obsolescence (which one could argue this is planned obsolescence, in thinking about it).

A small number of informed users won’t disincentiveize companies from abusing the masses. Because most companies are garbage so of course they will if they can. And regulations are the solution. I’m not suggesting we ignore that. But those of us who are informed can still incentiveize those companies that do treat their customers well in the interim.

I concede to the point though. I said, in effect, that supporting businesses that treat us well will help. But I suppose it’s more accurate to say that will, at best, stop things from getting worse.
