No-one thinks that the US citizens will actually use the second amendment for the allowed purpose. It's kind of laughable that people think that they will. It's used for your kids to shoot their fellow students.
Wasn't there an official building invasion recently? Turns out they forgot all about it at the time.
If you do get guillotined, hold a mango croissant. They look pretty cut neatly in half. And they're easier to eat.
Things like Privacy Badger block Discord.
I used to read (books, newspapers, cereal packets, everything, even fricking Cosmo) a hell of a lot before t'internet. Now I struggled to read a magazine in one sitting. I have a diet of RSS feeds and the linked articles.
I'm thirty years older, as we all are pre- post- net, so that probably has an effect but it's upsetting me how little I read (read) now.
I have a old Kindle (circa the first paperwhite series) which I find is devoid of battery power whenever I pick it up and I forget to replace it on my wireless phone charger (buy the kindle a wireless charging client with a microUSB plug from Amazon/AliExpress to put between the cover you necessarily bought and the Kindle) when I remove my phone.
Thinking buying a dumb phone might be the way forward to kill my died of short articles which maybe killed my attention span.
Not heard of this.
Thank-you.
Thank-you for this.
I've been using FDroid for some years but rarely see a list like this.
That's rather beautifully put and extra marks for p-h-t! ๐๐
I learned low level stuff to give prices to traders before the trading interval ended. I'm serious. Our four man hedge fund was under the wing of huge French bank. Pricing in the era was painful.
Asked for a price in the era used to take minutes for derivatives; I was told much faster wasn't possible; that's a red rag to me. I had no choice but to get dirty and go low level again.
The traders were old style barrow-boys, their like disappeared maybe a year or so after. Derivatives have a load of parameters that go with the actual price, "the Greeks", and market traders easily remember sets of shopping lists and prices and quantities at the same time. They were a shoe-in before computers were actually useful on a trading floor.
I learned to program on a 6502 RISC chip in Acorn Assembler. I liked it because BASIC was shit in the era (GOTO Fcuk My Life), like it got much better .. ๐คฃ๐ Knowing how programs work allows me to try to make it faster. These days I ~think~ know compilers are smarter than me.
Rust appeals too for the time-travel aspect. I'd like to learn to write a threaded program. I would have loved to do that when back in the day, I always regretted the way it worked, but it was way beyond me ๐ญ .
I wouldn't mind looking at my old original killer pricing program, I knew it could be optimised then, but I just didn't have the time or the skills to go that extra mile. I regret that bitterly. ๐ก
If you get time, let me know of your (t)rust travels. Bon voyage.
I hear you. My phone is about the only thing I buy new-new, just because of the battery and it has to work without hiccups.
I hang around the YouTube reviews until the notable ones say the battery is ok. They were saying the P6 battery sucked fairly early on.
I'm not a gamer but the battery life on the Pixel 7 Pro is great. I have quite a few apps set on "unrestricted" rather than "optimised" with "app battery usage"; like a birthday app from F-Droid which is supposed to notify of birthdays in advance - so I can buy cards and post them over seas. Didn't seem to make any difference in the battery life that I could see - I don't monitor the Screen on Time.
Good luck. I'm sorry you had to buy another battery and it didn't solve your problems.
Loving the Craigslist anecdote!
But there must have been a couple of rightfully confused girls dedicated into put thumbs into the Hoover dam a la apocryphal Netherlands story.
No euphemisms were included in the making of the above paragraph..
Think to myself "I'll go to bed in ten minutes, after I read this one Reddit/Lemmy post."
