he hasnt been involved for quite some time IIRC

This is cool to see. I tried my hand at running an instance most of last year but threw in the towel this past January. It was just me and 1-2 other active users and none of this software is wide spread enough to have a good solid support community. I really appreciate the people out there dedicating their time and other resources to making this work. (Truthfully, I didn’t put a ton of thought into how and where I was hosting my instance before inviting others to sign up, which is on me, and I think is what ultimately came back to haunt me down the line - my GoToSocial instance is much healthier, for example)

I think it’s lifetime of the creator + 70 years, so unless they die in the next several years… no, the copyright on the album would outlast whatever they perhaps sampled illegally…, but maybe they sampled someone younger than them like a Taylor Swift…

Who fucking knows

That is an MS Teams Room system in the conference room, it runs Windows IOT. Whoever manages those rooms should have set the working hours of the room so it didn’t apply this update during business hours. By default the system updates at 2 or 2:30 AM, I forget… so might be a weird MS bug or someone fudged up a config

Source - installed a lot of these a few years ago.

lets see if my father in law changes his opinion on mail in voting now, conveniently

One of the biggest reasons I switched was of all the MS telemetry bullshit. That and I don’t know if I ever legally paid for a copy of Windows and I was tired of playing the key gen / cracked ISO game.

I’ve used Debian flavors of Linux for servers before so switching to it as my full time desktop OS was not hard. That, and, I don’t really use my desktop for stuff that uncommon. Most of the stuff I need I can get out of the box from the software center.

The forbidden brownie batter

Honey, wake up, its April 1! Month of Losers is back!

Classic overconfidence - “I have installed a hard drive before, what could they possibly be trying to tell me on that paper?”

I learned and won’t make that mistake again… until I do

When I bought some of these earlier this year, the re-seller included an adapter that blocked those pins to prevent the reset issue. Didn’t know what they were for at first and almost tossed them. (I should have read the included slip of paper)

I like RawTherapee for this as well. It’s been a while since I tried Darktable tho, maybe I should give it another chance.

Starting to look cloudy for southern US (Texas, Arkansas). This sucks.

Culture change takes a while; I feel like even if they replaced everyone at the top with safety minded engineers to run the company, it would be some time before they dig themselves out of the hole they created for themselves.

I was going to say - my next laptop, I’m just buying the cheapest SSD option, maxing out the RAM, and then I’ll swap the SSD. Although I’m probably already behind the times - I imagine m2 is the new standard storage in laptops now.

I love flatpaks

Apparently this is what I always needed in my life.

I think I was hoping for something like what plex-debrid is for those services. But I guess if I get that setup correctly, I wouldnt need any other site.

Yeah, I get it. Not sure that stating the doomer case is any better than installing solar panels, though, is my point. It gets us the same outcome in the end.

the alternative is imminent collapse of civilization and no solar panels
