A nice wood/bamboo dish scrubber brush, or similar item(s) that is usually plastic but used every day.

I find the tagging system in lemmy more useful every day!

This is what false flag operations are for.

I’m sorry, did you just… oh lol never mind. I’m going to harvest this whoosh for wind power.

I repair Macs. Just use basic lithium battery practices:

• mostly keep charge between 30-80%
• charge fully if you are about to use
• long term storage with a 70% charge
• don’t run down to empty if you can help it
• don’t leave plugged in all the time
• avoid prolonged temperature extremes
• avoid shitty chargers, Apple chargers are expensive but generally worth it

Beware of add-ons that access hardware, for various reasons.

Apple batteries are rated for around 1000 cycles, or around 5 years of average use. Follow the above advice and you might eke out 1500 or so.

Ah I guess that was confusingly written, no you just need to have an email address to register an account, and when you register you get a verification email at that address and click on the link in the email to verify. Like almost any other social media.

I just did this to test out the process for a client who has to replace skype in their workplace, and it wasn’t bad.

I looked up servers on the web, picked the privacy DIY server, installed Element app, registered in the app using a “token” from the server website, confirmed via email - web link, and done, about 15 minutes plus figuring out the token part (had to reread instructions).

Nah bud, it’s part of a rising tide. Swim.

Good point. I hope it rotates to vertical orientation!

Not me, I am a damn dirty ape.

Upvote just for the excellent title pun.

A lot of Windows users moving to macOS leave apps running due to just clicking on the red button to close the window.

Check to make sure you don’t have an app running that is keeping the computer active, even in the background.

e.g. some data syncing apps, navigation device connections, wake-on-lan enabled with an active network-reliant app running

Use Activity Monitor in the /applications/utilities folder to explore all the stuff running.

OK but what if you have a lava lamp that is synced to the moods of a sarcastic and greedy AI?

Security is about to get really weird. It used to be the Internet of Things we had to worry about, but now we have Things in Internet.

Wait didn’t MEC collapse into / get bought by a regular corporation?

Snowdon was right, they’re watching every single hominid.

“…his whole thing is …”

Just that. There’s more to his body of work than this glitch you’re reducing him to.

I do not agree with Maté on many of his conclusions nor particularly enjoy his writing, you are misrepresenting his arguments and misinforming people.

He has quite a range of topics he has addressed, and while his fairly recent take on ADHD is unscientific, it’s not representative of his other writings.

To be fair, he focuses on some struggles more than others. In Ministry it’s more about a few activists and one relevant bureaucrat organizing from top down and bottom up, and not really about labourers other than vignettes for context. Character development over plot for KSR, usually.

Yes, right! But ammo is precious in PvP so most use Mountaintop for the lulz

You can still rocket jump in Destiny2 arena pvp, well grenade, but same feel. Fun way to be Death from Above if you are a more punchy character than the floaty kind.
