kbin.social to start with, posted in random, now another kbin. is being used, but I didn’t note the suffix.
… try using a Macbook touchpad and then any other one after it.
^ This.
Have been given a current Surface Pro laptop for work and must use an external mouse, or rage in frustration that my 13 yo MBP has a better functioning trackpad.
Clarkesworld Magazine and anything from Skyboat Media.
Kate Baker narrates the former, Stephen Rudniki a lot of the latter’s content and both deliver sonorous, resonant readings that are easy to nod off with.
Along the same lines, but not a podcast, McFadden narrates a docuseries on all things Trek, “The Center seat”, on Amazon currently.
Somebody had to get the ball rolling; since on this side of the pond trolling the opposition, glad handing donors and energizing our base takes precedence over existential threats of any kind.
Credit card for the rewards, paid monthly. Keep cash for tipping and small stuff.
It all comes down to greed and enshitification in the end.
^This. Leave this to the professionals. When you’ve seen one let go, it is impressive.
There are benefits?
As a US citizen, it seems like it should be relegated to the last century and not dragged any further into the future.
Joined on one instance, it went away, had to create a new account on this instance.
Finding communities and content has been challenging, at least Memmy has the number of subscribers front and center when searching.
Content depth could be better.
These are also, IMO, growing pains that will resolve over time
Missed that, thanks.
Hey CDE, you don’t have anything to hide, do you?
Will look for it, thanks.
Need an aquatic version for Nessie.
Gear on the cheap?
If you’re patient and can self-support, your local non-profits and their online stores may be useful.
It’s rare to see big gear NIB, but it does happen; have seen rack mount Cyberpower, 10 outlet, hi-watt units, IOB going for around $200+ in the last 6 months. Picked up a previous generation, 5 disk NAS for a tenth of its retail price, used.
You’re north of my border so my sites won’t work for you, but seriously, look into any Goodwill/Salvation Army type organizations, and don’t neglect local, they can be rewarding too.
GL&HF!
Would also like to know more, started there after fleeing u/spez’s meltdown.
edit:fucking predictive spelling
Actually, politicians give up public privacy under the fiction of helping children, repeatedly.
I cringe every time “online” and “children” are uttered in the same breath.
Nope.
Engagement numbers help the IPO, this in turn would put more $$ in u/spez pocket and that I will not support.
You’re lucky if the communities you have followed survived intact or unaffected. The tenor of my feed was changing for the worse before the API protests. When I left, after? It was a shithole.
Sure, there are communities that I miss, that are absent, or have weak, or hard to find presences. But the solution isn’t to go lurk and buff those engagement metrics, in my somewhat Reddit hostile opinion.
