Every once in a while the earlier copy will survive and then there would be multiples of you, shenanigans ensue.
Though now that you mention it, I’m not keen on being able to remember the suffering and dying every single time it happens.
(Mickey 17 was a great movie, you’re probably referencing that or a similar story)
Use and support windows systems at work. I’m at a small business that uses some ancient software that is only Windows compatible.
At home am fully switched over to Linux.
Insurance is a scam. But to be fair you can actually have both, with a high deductible HSA compatible insurance plan you get to pay for both insurance you never use as well as put other money aside into an HSA account that earns interest and gains for you. It’s a good idea to have an HSA and max it out if possible.
But beyond that I don’t disagree with most of your points. It’s insane having a system where you’re paying thousands of dollars, and worse if you actually do need health care you get the privilege of paying even more thousands of dollars extra until you meet your so called "out-of-pocket’ expenses before the insurance provider starts covering things on their own.
With my own health insurance I would actually need to pay out about $12000 (premiums + out-of-pocket) in a given year before the so-called health insurance actually starts covering expenses themselves… and this is assuming they don’t decide to deny any treatment and refuse payment. Like sure I guess that’s better than paying for a one-off surgery or major health emergency directly… But I doubt I could afford that every year if I was actually needing regular treatment for an ongoing health issue.
Won’t somebody please think of the oligarchs!?
Tor is not needed for that, death/gore type sites exist on the regular clearnet internet. Probably something like watchpeopledie would have that sort of thing, among other sites.
Interesting, can’t say I noticed anything amiss with Chrome Linux/Windows but I uninstalled/re-installed the extension just in case. Does make me wonder if it happens to be acting up when installed with other extensions or with particular Chrome settings.
You can use lemmyverse to browse around, there are at least a few communities that exist. e.g.
https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=artificial
https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=llm
https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=llama
etc.
I’m a bit curious about people’s setups for self hosting LLMs so sometimes I browse [email protected] for example.
Three that I like to play when commuting
Breakout 71 https://f-droid.org/en/packages/me.lecaro.breakout/ - This one is great though all the powerups make it a bit too easy if you play it for a while. But it’s a good one if you just want get into playing something quickly.
Ball2Box https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.simondalvai.ball2box/ - It’s a pretty simple game but surprisingly addictive if you’re like me trying to get a perfect score on each level (there’s a ton of levels).
Calculate https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.rechnen.app/ - Practice doing math in your head!
Correct. It’ll be a new bunch of new steps, and would be forced to wait 24 hours to do the actual install, but otherwise sideloading unverified apps will still be possible through the advanced flow steps. So Jerboa and/or other apps from unverified accounts can still be installed. I do wonder how that affects the other app repos like F-Droid, like I guess F-Droid would need to be aware that the new advanced flow steps are active when attempting to do app installs.

But I guess if you’re in a rush and don’t want to go through all that then you could probably still install apps via ADB.
I tend to follow bands and musicians I like and check out who else they play music with.
e.g. I go to their shows and if I like the the other bands playing I tend to check them out later and buy their music on Bandcamp. Then from there I’ll also follow the socials of all those bands so when they mention other bands, or if they’re going on tour with other bands, or playing music fests with other bands, then I check out those bands too.
I hate social media / Instagram but every once in a while the algorithm will mention something worth checking out, kind of rare but it happens.
Seems to work for me, if anything now I have too much music to check out and not enough time to listen to it all haha.
Oat milk is fine, or even just drinking it black unsweetened.
Though in the last few years I’ve gotten into the habit of having my cold brew concentrate with Ripple Unsweetened. And before that was using Silk Protein unsweetened… it was sort of Silk’s version of pea protein drink, I think it got discontinued haven’t seen it anywhere. Ripple goes well with my coffee… Silk’s version was especially good with coffee, I’d still be buying that if it was being sold anywhere. Silk’s was a bit creamier and thicker than Ripple so it sort of gave the coffee some extra flair if that makes sense.
For these type of drinks I mainly try to find unsweetened with a similar nutritional profile like dairy milk e.g. it should have a decent amount of protein, calcium, vitamin D, etc. Most oat milk I’ve seen doesn’t have that so I usually don’t buy it, it’s more something I’d use if I’m at a coffee shop or someone’s house.
Can’t speak for other countries but in the U.S. counterfeit bills are usually used to buy something cheaper at a store and receive real money back as change from the cash register. e.g. Pass a counterfeit $100 bill for a $20 purchase & hope that the cashier accepts it and gives you back $80 in real bills from the cash register. Think of it as a more roundabout way to take money out of store cash registers, that’s the main purpose of counterfeit bills.
I work with a business that has a storefront and people do come by every week or so to try to pass counterfeit bills. Usually the staff knows enough to check $100 bills but every once a while they miss the counterfeit.
Not sure if this applies to the entire northwest coast but I had a friend from a small town in the northwest who said the water was colder and there were more sharks in those waters. So it wasn’t like beachfront property where people would regularly go swimming.
Also like the other comment mentioned those areas also tend to be steeper, more cliffs, etc so I imagine developing property around there could get expensive, and that’s ignoring if any of those areas are park / natural preserve areas.
There’s also https://ip4.me/, nice and simple ipv4 test.
(it also does other IP lookups via https://ip6.me/, https://ip6only.me/, https://whatismyv6.com/)
Yes. In fact that’s how banks and brokerages try to retain FDIC insurance with larger sums of money e.g. Fidelity’s sweep accounts are actually spread across many accounts under $250k each. See the Deposit Sweep Program info at https://www.fidelity.com/why-fidelity/safeguarding-your-accounts
I just saw them play last month when whey were on tour with Birthday Massacre. I mainly went to see Birthday Massacre which have more of a goth/synth/metal/pop sound if that makes any sense :P
But I have to say Lord of the Lost put on a great show and a lot of people there already knew their music and were into it.
Yes.
Not only that, the current generation of smoke detectors have sealed batteries so you can’t even open them up to change batteries or anything. So once they expire in 10 years they start their incessant “I’m dying” non-stop beeping - that’s when you dispose of the entire smoke detector and buy a new one.
I’ve read that they don’t detect smoke as well after 10 years anyway (e.g. even more false alarms) so it’s probably for the best to get rid of old ones.
I don’t have any answers - but now I wonder if your idea would be easier when working with one of the fancier smoke detectors with voice alerts. Those have pre-recorded voice alerts that “speak” when an alert occurs, rather than beeping. Those pre-recorded messages must be stored somewhere in the smoke detector.
That was my first thought too. My understanding is that Nordic countries do think about vitamin D deficiency (especially this time of year) so it’s common to see stuff like cod liver oil and other ways to supplement vitamin D, besides just eating fish. Figured Switzerland would be similar.
This 100%, especially since OP says they are currently in uni. Make friends with other peeps in school, they’re the ones that will get you into other jobs even if it’s just a lead or recommendation. That’s why often you’ll see offices/companies with a few people from the same schools, lots of times they already knew each other.
And sometimes the uni friends are people that start their own company to do their own thing, once I worked in an office where 80% of the employees were just other dudes the owners went to school with.
TBH meeting people to get into working my field was the only valuable thing I got from going to college.
