Actually some people were trying to help me with a problem on a Linux system. It’s weird but makes sense that most of these fringe tech platforms are used by people using Linux to talk about Linux.

It’s like ham radios… lots of folks talking about their ham radios. And their plans for their ham radios. And asking about ham radios.

Wow. That sucks. Why would an advertising company buy them, though? Seems odd.

Well yes, for someone with OCD there are a plethora of behaviors that aren’t the same for them as for ordinary people. I think that would go without saying.

Ah.

I mean… steampunk pretends to emulate modern tech all with steam power. Not only is it so absurd that it’s funny and enjoyable, but aesthetically when bathed in art deco, it’s positively gorgeous.

But in terms of story…. Shrug, there are probably tons of sci-fi writers that have touched this kind of storytelling. I think Alan Dean Foster maybe had something like this, and/or Piers Anthony, maybe a few others I read many years ago. No recollection as to what actual books, sorry.

I typically search distrowatch for any need. Just use search filters. You’re likely to get the most comprehensive list in this way.

I’m a Nova Launcher user and thoroughly happy with it.

Nearly every activity should be preceded by and followed by a good handwashing. Keeps you well.

Is there any reason people still use lead solder? I mean… I use silver for jewelry soldering and I know silver and copper can both easily work well for electronics , so in what application is lead necessary?

I can firsthand attest to this. Big time. It’s the one thing I dislike.

I also would not think of it as filth, but I also love its absence in Lemmy. Because that stuff acts like an STD and spreads and grows, and I’d rather just leave it out.

I much rather that Lemmy remain the domain of people who want to use it because of how & why it differs from the commercial sites. Good! Then I can have a reasonable expectation of the demographics. The occasional shit mod notwithstanding.
