That sounds good to me, are there any buttons I can push? I feel bad leaving you to do all the work, if I can get down to it with you I think that would be more pleasant for both of us
Oh, I always make sure to turn it into a job for two people. Makes it easier to reach all the important spots when you have a helping hand.
However, make sure to follow my lead, your hands need to go exactly where I tell you to put them.
(Jokes aside for a second, never reach into an open power supply unless you know what you're doing. In fact, best to not open it in the first place.)
So, now that everything is turned on, let's go over how to mount a drive
It's really comforting to be in the hands of such an expert, I feel like you could teach me a lot. Everything is certainly turned on now, so tell me more about mounting
(Oh yeah, I'm not fucking with electricity at all, no worries there)
Actually, mounting should happen automatically when you insert a drive into the back port. And then you can load your files to the internal drive
So if I'm understanding correctly - remember, I'm still learning, and I am an eager student - you insert your drive into my back port and then you load into my internal drive, and then everything works? Sounds good, when can we start?
We can start whenever you want, my system is never microsoft
I'm not opposed to Microsoft if that's the way people choose to live their life, but I will follow your lead
Actually, it might not get hard anymore once I get my hands on this new firmware crack
Hey, we can work around that. Tell me more about this firmware crack though, I certainly am interested in modifying my hardware
Well, this crack allows me to increase the padding around the buttons up top, allowing easier handling. My drive however will likely be neither hard nor solid, but probably floppy.
The code that needs to be injected for this to work needs official approval first, though.
I too would very much enjoy thus firmware crack, unfortunately the approval for such a thing is comparatively hard to come by and increasingly is frowned upon. I've thought about going around the official approval route but that is a headache of its own.
(I live on TERF Island, and it sucks)
The dumbest part for me is that I already have an appointment with the cracked firmware distributors but it won't go anywhere because I can't even get on a waiting list to talk about offical approval.
We're gonna get there. I can't believe in either of our healthcare systems, but I believe in us.
That means a lot miss_brainfart, I'll do my best to believe in us both too ❤️
Let me send you a big, big hug❤️
Right back at you 🤗🤗🤗
I think I might be really bad at fixing computers, because it always ends in a data leak.
Also, the people on blahaj zone are the best❤️
I've had so many genuinely nice interactions here, it makes up for all the bad ones in other places
It's OK, we're all just learning and leaks can be cleaned up.
It is nice, isn't it? I'm so glad it was my introduction to the Fediverse. I like venturing out into the rest of it but I'm so glad I have blahaj zone to come back to, and it clearly brings in some nice people from other places too because you're here ❤️
I signed up to lemmy ml because it has most topics I'm interested in, but turns out I basically live on blahaj zone now. Might as well transition (hihi) to here at this point^^
One of us, one of us, one of us! Come join us sis, be part of the family ❤️
(I shouldn't really have assumed "sis", call me out if I'm wrong)
Sis is correct, no worries^^
Well, guess I know what I'll do today
🤗 It's nice to have you around, sis ❤️
Heyyyy, it me :D
Heyyy! Welcome home, it's great to have you :D How does it feel, being a proper blahajer? Allow me to give you your first upvote ❤️
Blahaj Zone is the nicest online community I've ever visited, so it makes sense to make it my primary residence^^
I'll consider this to be the first part of my transition :P
Although this is actually the second fediverse account I've migrated, to be precise. My old pixelfed profile still had the word guy in it
Oh wow, I guess congrats on the official start of your transition =P I'm going to congratulate myself on playing a small part in it too 😆
Woof, somehow I've always avoided included words like "guy" in any username I've made, I suppose deep down I always knew I wasn't cis (although the repeated questioning of it over pretty much my whole life should have been the biggest clue 😅)
I've been oblivious about many things throughout my life, and even if the thought ever came up, I'd usually just forget about it not even five minutes later :')
Mood, it took me ages to recognise I was asexual too, I'd read about it and be like "damn, that really sounds like me, too bad I'm a cishet guy" and then forget about it again 😅 We should give ourselves a break though - it's a marathon, not a sprint
Doesn't change the fact that I'm terrible at marathons though
Hey now, none of that 🤗 It's just one (metaphorical) foot in front of the other, the important part is finishing, not how long it takes
We'll get there eventually. But it'd be cool if our ministry of health would realize where the word ministry comes from, and act accordingly.
I do recognize that I'm already very privileged when it comes to healthcare in my country, but even here there are still some serious issues in certain fields.
However, one foot in front of the other, as you say. This year will be where an important new law comes into effect here, making it much easier and less dehumanizing to change ones legal gender and name.
The reactions to this law have been a great way to add new polititians to my Do Not Vote list, which is a welcome side effect :D
If you don't mind me asking which country are you in? I'm in the UK so it's already pretty transphobic, which sucks, but we have a general election this year so we might at least get the extremely marginally less overtly transphobic Labour Party in, though I don't expect they'll make it any better. I should save money to either try and go private or do some DIYing but sadly big expenses keep coming up.
However, I did randomly decide to shave my arms last night and that feels pretty great =D
(we can continue on Matrix, if you'd like)
I'm in Germany, which is pretty good in most areas, all things considered. But every now and then, if you need something specific, you might discover some roadblocks.
Being active on Lemmy, you've probably come across posts showing the massive protests against Germanys far right party, the AfD. The fact that they managed to become as successful as they are is incredibly concerning.
So who knows what the future holds.
Oooh, I haven't even thought about my arms yet. I wonder how they'd look without hair :D
(I'm not sure what Matrix is but I'm happy to look into it. Might need to be later because I'll be getting ready for work soon, but it's probably an idea if we don't just keep posting in this random thread 😅)
I've always had the impression that Germany is pretty good about these things, it's a shame it still throws up roadblocks. I had heard about the AfD thing and it's definitely scary, are you at least a little heartened by the protests against them? I really hope they're stopped, I'd hate for you to end up in an unsafe situation.
I can thoroughly recommend shaving arms, I did it thinking "well, I can fairly easily keep ithem covered til it regrows" and already I'm like "people are just going to have to get used to me having shaved arms, I guess, because I don't want them hairy again" 😅
It's certainly nice to see more people openly speaking out against them. I think many are also just uninformed about what's actually going on behind their curtains, what kind of narrative they drive.
So spreading awareness is, as always, the most important step.
Yeahh, I think I'll shave my arms some time soon^^
It's distressing how easily people are willing to write off shocking levels of bigotry as just being "edgy" or "controversial" until it slaps them in the face, at least hopefully it has slapped people there soon enough to avert the worst of the problems. And hopefully the protests make Those People a bit less bold in their politics. Spreading awareness is important but it's also important to be safe, it can be hard to do so if you're potentially being confronted with a crowd of fascists 😕
Oh yay, you'll have to let me know when you do and we can compare notes ^_^
(I think I'm setup on Matrix, I've been stuck in traffic on the bus to work and had nothing else to do 😅 I should be luckingfurker:catgirl.cloud, if I understand it correctly (yes, I took a look at your (old?) profile to get an idea 🙂 I suppose really I could've just messaged you this on there instead, but I can be a silly goose sometimes))
I messaged you on Matrix :D
Gotta love how the people I talk to just seem to flock to catgirl.cloud for some inexplicable reason :P
Clearly you're an influencer, be it good or bad remains to be seen =P
Hiii hello hewwo heyo hihihi helo welcome to blahaj :3
Heyyy^^ Lovely to be here :D
OK, I'm not white knighting here.... but I don't want to see you become the butt of the joke. All of this double and triple entendre is getting out of control. For all of this back loading to properly work you need a proper tower case. Personally I'm into cases by the Eiffel company. Eiffel towers are the best! You can front load AND back load simultaneously (some hand holding for structural support may be necessary). I utilize a method that has been widely recognized as the best. You have the comedic effect of a Spit Take along side the slow burn of a good Roast over how sloppy you com ports are. The colloquial term is SpitRoasting.... it's quite the undertaking but if we all work hard we can make this all come together.
That sounds like it becomes confusing and possibly messy, but I'm not not into it
