Is D&D particularly popular in Cornwall?

Depends - average would probably be about 2-3 hours? Not great but not awful for my use.

I could replace the battery and improve this - ifixit sell the kits - but currently I have no need.

My mid 2013 MacBook air sees more use than any of my other devices.

I bought it for £100 a few years back and haven't looked back.

What am I supposed to do with all this blood now? in c/lemmyshitpost

Ore forebears' masters were money-grubbing cunts, this is true. Let's not pretend old matey in the pits was actively participating in the enactment of policies which caused death and emigration on scales unbeknownst before.

Our masters are now too, but at least they pretend not to be. Although they still don't teach kids about the empire properly.

They have enough of those in their club already tbh.

Favorite ways to light up your bike in the winter? in c/bicycling
[–] Chouxfleur 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'll never understand people who run white lights on the rear of their bikes.

Your reply is, from the perspective of a driver and a cyclist, the best advice.

I'd add that if you can afford it a jacket from proviz is an absolute life saver - as soon as any light hits then in the dark you become a beacon.

Well put.

Sometimes we need to abandon our principles to care for others. My goodness is less important than the wellbeing of those who are oppressed.

To be fair I grew up in a religious household so he was a bit of a folk hero for us.

He was an interesting chap.

Where does everyone watch cycling races? in c/bicycling
[–] Chouxfleur 1 points 2 weeks ago

This might just be it 🙃

It's a shame that competition for this stuff is piracy or get shafted because I'm absolutely fine spending a reasonable sum on watching it but I can't justify paying for Discovery+ - I just want to watch cycling not more reality TV!

Yeah this might be the way - it's such a shame because on its own GCN+ was great (their awful attempt at a social media platform notwithstanding). Even if Discovery had a cycling only tier I wouldn't mind as much - but I don't give a toss about any of their other sport or content other than the cycling. My winters are much worse now I can't watch the CX!

Disgraceful!

What desktop enviroment do you use and why? in c/[email protected]
[–] Chouxfleur 6 points 3 weeks ago

XFCE. Because I'm an idiot, and all my computers are old.

I had a GCN subscription until they were bought up by discovery, and now I've found out that the TdF won't be on free-to-watch tv in my home country any more I'm running out of places to view it; where you lot get your professional cycling fix from?

Where are you streaming from this season? (self.procycling)

So with the demise of GCN+ where are you all watching this season's racing?

I really don't want to subscribe to discovery+ for cycling (as I'm unlikely to actually watch any of the other content), so I'm looking for suitable alternatives (legitimate or other).

How do I self host data? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

I'm tired of being tied to specific calendars and to-do apps because of difficulties in sharing and syncing my data, so I'd like to be able to manage it myself, either self hosting or using someone else's servers.

I already pay for web-hosting for a personal website (wordpress) but beyond this I'm totally at a loss.

My main goal is incredibly simple - I just want to host some notes and calendars for my family (tomavoid headaches when phones invariably break and so on), which I feel can't be too hard but I'm also incredibly stupid.

Please help?!

Universal Stylus? (self.android)
submitted 1 year ago by Chouxfleur to c/android

I have a Lenovo Tab P11 (Gen 2), which while not being that old seems to have been entirely superceded, to the point that I can't seem to find stock of the only compatible stylus listed on their website (well, that isn't approaching £90 or shipping from China in Ebay- the RRP being something like £40)

Are there any decent universal styluses that can be bought for a decent price that will write well enough to be worth the cost? To my knowledge the Tab P11 isn't USI compatible, unfortunately so I understand that my options may be limited here!

Experiences with Qin F22 (non-Pro)? (qinphone.com)
submitted 1 year ago by Chouxfleur to c/dumbphones

I've been looking at 'Bridge Phones' which would let me ditch my (rather large) Android device for something much smaller that won't significantly reduce my ability to use some key apps (Signal, Spotify, OSMAnd+, and some activity tracking apps).

Does anyone have any thoughts on this device?

I'm not bothered by not having cameras, and it looks like this fits the bill, being a smaller version of the F22 Pro as far as I can tell.
