Any gadget/tool/product with standard AA/AAA C/D sized batteries and a bunch of rechargeable batteries. Mostly, if I leave a gadget is because it doesn’t work, or because the included rechargeable battery is depleted and hard to replace.
Honestly, deberíamos empezar una comunidad con acento en el español como idioma principal. Hay comunidades en lemmy (no sé qué instancia) que postean todo el tiempo en alemán y de hecho llegan al “frontpage” muchas veces en horarios de actividad recreativa en ese país.
I wouldn’t say it’s instance-wide, but yes, Lemmy communities are becoming more and more hostile in general.
I won’t hold my breath, but it’s sorely needed, so, we can hope.
All these and more facts were actually published in the prestigious Annals of Uranus, Volume 34, pages 143-165, 2024. Excellent work published by the academics internationalists Patricia Chapoy and Pedro Sola.
Uninstall Arch and install Linux Mint. Give yourself that gift. It’d still be easier than installing Arch Linux, and you’ll be way more comfortable most of the time in the long term. It’s not that you can’t use Arch, but their approach is not beginner-friendly.
I just say it as if it was a joke. Like “well, this is kind of awkward, and I can’t find the right words to say to say right now. I better get going!”
I always come back to the voting system criticism that I started in Reddit. Unfortunately, the voting system was brought to Lemmy, but it’s less “damaging” the way it’s used around here. Moreover, in Lemmy you can hide the voting system, which is the way I use this platform, with a positive effect in my social anxiety.
I believe the voting system is planned, primarily, as an “emotional pit”. With this term I mean it’s like having a sentiments pool of the community members points of view on some issue. A highly voted comment is ideology and enotionally-charged in a given way, and it’s usually read within the context that was provided by the emotional discharge of massively liking or not a comment. Try always to read a comment without the votes context in search of a different meaning of the author than what the community reads. This is also affected by the cultural framework of the participants in a community. Most prominent among these factors is the English language, which is not spoken daily by many users of Lemmy, frequently sending a tone that may sound harsh, flamboyant, ignorant, sloppy, etc. to native speakers.
So, going back to OP’s discussion, yes, I believe the voting system exacerbates the differences between the members of a community and casuals looking for knowledge about some issue. Communities are not random and neutral, they have defined affinities that frequently imply others which may remain hidden. When someone unrelated to a community comes with new knowledge for them to share to a seemingly familiar group of people, they are welcomed by the “champions” of the community in case. These '“champions” are just people immerse daily in a specific mindset and discourse, who also receive an overwhelming emotional support through votes, so their confidence is very high. Add to this that sometimes they even have the right to ban you if you don’t follow their rules and you get a lot of attitudes like the ones you describe.
Anyway, the use I do of the voting system is something that, I believe, levels the ground of discussions. I can’t see votes, I hide which instances are users coming from, and I only vote positive and reserve negative votes to, basically, comments and posts that go against human rights.
Well, I went through a recruitment process for a Ponzi scheme company. It was wild, but the first filter was an interview by some “hot” woman (sorry, I was like 21) so, I guess I was nervous and passed to the next part of the recruitment process. This third part (the first was only a couple of documents) was frankly nauseous for my kind of education, in this phase, a proper brainwash about how unions, worker rights and health insurance are just obstacles between us and real success in life and some other nonsense, happened to a group of applicants clearly infiltrated. At that exact moment I wanted to go home, but somehow I was feeling unsafe surrounded by the staff (people, I guess, already in the Ponzi scheme). They wanted us to come back the next day to sell perfumes for free or to buy them perfumes to sell by ourselves or something. Of course, I didn’t come back, but it was traumatizing.
Oh, actually, /u/bobbyfiend, already mentioned the same kind of “business”, except this is Mexico. It’s not rare to find these “ideas” being deployed in several countries, like Scientology.
Well, you bet me to it, but what can I say? That’s my answer, too.
Which is one of the reasons I’d still buy one.
No, I’m not a bot? What do you mean?
See, OP is not saying we should “just drop red meat”, and this is probably why you get that kind of reactions.
I couldn’t get one myself. The battery issue is none for me. It’s not rare that battery replacement becomes (nearly) impossible for final users once it reaches its EOL, so I switched to gadgets that use standard size rechargeable batteries if possible.
This is appreciated. As a hobbyist, I feel like my setup is hold by pins.
EDIT: I rely on Nextcloud, BTW.

Well, I love my good old Redmi Note 4 Pro (mido) running postmarketOS. Granted, it’s not a daily driver. But yeah, I’m excited enough to install Plasma OS.
both got it eventually
Yeah, this is the way.
My first was a rare CPU, but not that old. It was my first PC and was fanless, which I used to think was normal until years later. It was a VIA Cyrix III, maybe 32 MB RAM. Another interesting thing about this CPU was its overclock capabilities. I don’t know how it did survive my overclocking, since I genuinely didn’t have a clue, except that if I raised the numbers, KDE could run, but if I didn’t, well, Xfce was also cool.
If the battery is of huge capacity, that’s fine too.
