Because they are incentivizing us to buy new phones. It's not a technical reason it's a capitalism reason.

Qcad is a good one for drawing blueprints

How do I start a crypto wallet in c/[email protected]

Oh so it's guess there is at least one stupid question. The only way to make money with crypto is to scam people by rug pulling. So the real question you are asking is how do I scam people for a secondary income.

Also double check for on off switches. I have found on MSI and ASROCK hardware they have an undocumented led powerswitch hidden somewhere on them sometimes.

This i played D2 and D2R on debian no issues on Linux. On Amd64 arch. The pie seems a little underpowered to emulate I386

Yeah a shell account is a standard term for getting a terminal access in a shared system going all the way back to mainframes.

Most universities at least in the US had a thing called a Sunsite that came with shell access sometimes.

I agree on GoG, buying physical only gets you the broken unpatched game they shipped. Steam i feel okay with since they are a private company and not all their games are DRMed and it's clearly marked if they are.

What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can make new friends? in c/[email protected]

Thanks you, this is a great idea, I really like this one. I am concerned though that my crutches would limit my improv versatility.

YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x more likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of a population has ever failed in c/[email protected]

Also non violent protests turn violent because the opposition embed bad actors to create the violence or counter protest pushes people to violence out of self defense.

Healthcare workers should have combat like ribbons like the military has. Like first responders got during 9/11. (lemmy.world)
 

Like there be one for Covid then another one for ebola. Generic ribbons for each mass shooting.

I know it's dark but they need to be recognized. In the Army we would joke our ribbons were our PTSD listed out our chest. Figured it's the same for them.

Like they construct the world for each day? Like you see them putting up mailboxes and painting the roads.

If we have Black Friday after Thanksgiving where everything goes on sale. Does that mean April 5 is Orange Saturday where everything gets more expensive. (lemmy.world)

With all the CGI/AI corpse puppeting that keeps happening. At some point someone is going to remake Triumph of the Will with an all star cast of recently deceased movie stars. (lemmy.world)
 

If someone is dead they should stay dead this is how art dies. It's easier to keep recycling the same time shit over and over. I want to see what the new generation brings to the table.

When having one of my bad days I think of that quote. It's was a random statement in a comicbook of all things. If you check my post history I would be considered a doomer about the climate only but I'm trying to not be.

If I ate nothing Total brand cereal as directed for all my nutrition with whole milk. How long could I survive? (lemmy.world)
 

I know i would go crazy eating the same bland flakes

The importance of Names and how people on average don't really think about what the name is telling you. (lemmy.world)
 

I was just thinking about the word social media as a term answer how it relates to regular media.

Like what is regular media? it's someone that is paid to entertain you for money or influence you for people that pay them for power.

Now the word social media if it relates to old media what would it be at face value. It's a person that is paid to make you feel like you have a social connection with them for money influence you for people that pay them that want power.

Like what was social connections on the internet before the rise of social media.

It was forums and if we look at that word what is it as face value from the word itself its meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.

Ideas to be exchanged everyone was equal there was no media personalities no popularity contests. No followers just a group of people sharing ideas around a common interest.

How off base am I? did I miss anything in my reasoning here?

With all this ghostty talk. Am I out of touch for still using terminator all these years? (lemmy.world)
 

Like the question above am I just an old man that's not keeping up with the times or is terminator still a great terminal to use in 2025?

What are some of your best memories from services like heat.net or MPlayer or dedicated servers in general? (lemmy.world)
 

My favorite was a time my best friend and I were on the second phone line talking and took on 15 to 2 in quake 2 CTF and won.

Is there a community on lemmy to vent or confess? (lemmy.world)
 

Im looking for the internet equivalent of screaming into the void when stress gets to great and you are about to pop.

Sending intranet Email on a token ring network still used the same process as creating a Memo (lemmy.world)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, might have breathed in too many soap fumes.

Token Ring sends the packets to every node by passing it from one node and if that node is not the recipient it passes it on to the next node.

Memos were created the day before with a list of recipients then it was passed around till everyone on the list had read it.
