I started ignoring most of them recently. I unsubscribed from most of the podcasts and only listen to the remaining ones when I have exhausted all other entertainment.

I am still following some of the Apple Journalists on Mastodon, a lot of them are also very disappointed in the direction Apple is taking.

Personally, I am not in the market for any new computers because my current machines fulfil my needs. There is nothing in any manufacturers roadmap that interest me.

I am interested in repurposing some of my old hardware that functions perfectly but is no longer supported. I plan on installing Debian Linux on anything that can’t run Haiku, but I will keep a small partition of the original OS for any emergency firmware updates.

My Zire71 had a LiIon battery that did require charging.

My handwriting went from perfect block lettering (engineer/draftsman) to unintelligible scrawl when I learnt graffiti.

I still try to use graffiti when I try to “type” on my AppleWatch.

#NotTheOnion Microsoft will make millions of computers obsolete and will generate thousands of tonnes of eWaste on International eWaste Day.

“Windows 10 security updates end on 14 October 2025, KDE’s 29th birthday and also, ironically, International E-Waste Day [1] (you cannot make these things up!)”

I am inferring a difference between an algorithm that is based on simple rules, and an algorithm that is constantly being dishonestly modified for commercial, political and financial benefit.

The fact that comments are prioritised by simple rules, an not by some sort of monolithic ALGORITHM, keeps the discussion dynamic.

Honestly, I think is the whole ”First Post” mindset.

When you post a reply on Mastodon, it is more intimate, the only people who see it are the original tooter and anyone who actively seeks more commentary. It is a dialogue between two people, or multiple dialogues between one person and many others.

Lemmy is more like a forum, where everyone can see all comments, right underneath the original post. It is more like an open-table discussion.

It is not that Lemmy is more social, it is just less personal.

It depends on the Jurisdiction.

IANAL, but in Australia, the Driver is responsible if any passengers are not wearing their seatbelt.

Great news, but does anyone else get Nanites/Grey Goo vibes from this?

I blame their mothers.

Mine had a 3-speed crash box with an unusual shift-pattern that basically made the theft-proof. It also ran on both LPG and Petrol so I could drive it everywhere without having to refill.

Petrol was reasonably priced back then and LPG was even cheaper.

Owning shares when you are an elected official with jurisdiction over the industry you own shares in.

Also, any political figure owning shares in a media organisation, regardless of whether it is traditional media or “new media”.

Since it is the opposite of Overtaking, it is typically called undertaking, especially if you try to undertake a large truck with limited visibility on the passenger side.

That would just be silly. Cable ties!

Oversized vehicles are just as destructive to the environment, regardless of whether they are EV or not. In order to move that much mass, they require exponentially more electricity, which results in increased battery size and therefore more mass.

This isn’t a flaw EVs per se, it is a flaw of obnoxiously obese vehicles.

But then she would miss out on dinner, family movie night and other social interactions!

As posted above, same here. We use the Intercom feature on a HomePod to call her down. She hates it because the whole point of AirPods Pro is so she can ignore everyone!
