I find the subscription model interesting, and I think that it'd be exponentially more interesting if paired with a co-op structure - similar to a consumer co-op
lemm.ee was the best and why i stayed on lemmy. this stinks. but so long and thanks for all the fish
oh how the tables have turned
It may be a bold of me to say, but I hold the controversial opinion that I don't really give a shit which computer OS you use. If you can use a mouse and keyboard to navigate a desktop environment then 🤙 you are ahead of the curve at this point.
I couldn't bear to make e-waste, so I repaired two c.~2012 era chromebooks earlier this year. The end result was equal parts rewarding experience and a complete was of my time xD. Those sandy bridge cpus are sloooow
The original series is all I've seen but its legit hilarious and definitely still worth watching. Many of its storylines have been revisited/retold over the decades, but the plots maintain their charm and originality. It's campy as all hell, but the campy atmosphere of the show elevates it rather than aging it in a bad way.
Found it! It is a tourist attraction:

And here's how they do it:
That doesn't all fall at once haha. They continually plow after every snow fall and add to the existing piles. How they manage to keep stacking and carving it so perfectly and so high is a mystery to me, but I'm sure the snow is only this high in this particular area. It's likely an attraction or something
This may be specific to my sector (government), but every job posting requires a highly detailed cover letter that addresses numerous specific criteria outlined in some departmental rubric. It takes forever and requires sifting through verbose, corporate-slop documents to grasp their internal jargon and values, etc etc
data protection is at risk of becoming an oxymoron
My beautiful kitty and my almost equally beautiful 2009 Subaru Sambar TT2. This model of Sambar has a turbo and is permanently in 4x4. It also features power windows and locks, A/C, and AIRBAGS =)
In Canada vehicles must be at least 15 years old to be imported, meaning that this vehicle is about as new as you are allowed to get!
I live in a tiny house, and I picked up this bad boy to haul materials and navigate around tight corners on the property. I take the Sambar on the highway frequently, where the max highway speed is 110km/hr. The Sambar can do 110km/hr, but it is much more comfortable doing 100km/hr, and the engine seems happier too.
Insurance cost me $1,300/year for full coverage (comprehensive, liability, and collision) and was fairly easy to get in my province. There is a lot of misinformation online about insurance, and your best bet for figuring it out is to make phone calls to insurance providers. No, the vehicle doesn't have to be classified as commercial; and you ARE able to get collision and liability, despite what some insurers may have incorrectly been told.
I fell my own trees and cut my own firewood, and I've taken the truck on two of the outings so far. The box fit a tad more than half a cord of firewood, and it did not like going highway speeds lol.
I mentioned in another post that I have been needing to do some mechanical work on the truck. After a few months of driving I spotted an oil leak (that I've yet to precisely pinpoint). It seems to be coming from a gasket, and from my research it appears that Sambar engine gaskets are known for degrading — so much so that it's quite easy to find replacement gasket kits online. Once my parts come in I intend on filming my repair attempt in hopes of helping others with their future repairs as well.
Thanks for reading!

This community is hilarious. Hating on tech oligarchs and the tech hype bro archetype is one thing (like this post), but its another entirely to staunchly oppose a technological advancement like machine learning so much you revel in a community surrounding it. If your anger is directed at your fellow man for using LLMs to summarize their book reports then fine, join the club. Otherwise enjoy angrily shaking your fist at the world. I think it was Aurelius who spoke on the ignorance of opposing the nature of things.
