Sorry. Couldn't resist.
Uh-oh. It's getting down to the wire and there's a tie! Let's hope more people vote before Monday!
I wrote all my papers in high school and my first two years of college on an Amiga 500. It connected to the internet service on campus and allowed me to keep my course work organized in the Workbench in both high school and college. It was a great system for getting work done, plus I could play my games. I ended up having to get a Windows / DOS computer for the rest of college, though, because stuff stopped being compatible for printing in the computer lab.
I saved about 100 euros. I was looking at a motherboard with wifi and bluetooth included that was about 280 euros. I got one without for 156. Then, I ordered TP-Link adapters that connect via USB that cost about 18 euros each. I'm getting 25 euros cash back from ASUS for the motherboard. I can afford to give up the USB ports because the motherboard has 8 USB connectors. If you wanted to get a card, well, I think that could be cheaper than USB dongles, depending on where you buy it. I went with the dongles because they're easy to sell later if I decide I don't want them anymore.
I've never moderated before, no. It's not hard to learn how to do it. You just read the rules and make sure people stick to them and that's about it. I've learned it's just about paying attention to what's happening. I just check the community throughout the day and make sure everything is on the up and up.
You're very welcome. To give you some advice from my own experience here, which hasn't been much time, on the very rare occasion I've had to delete something, it's usually because of The Code of Conduct. Anyway, if you ever feel in doubt, I'm always available to consult with. You won't need to, though. It's totally easy. Easiest job I've ever had.
You're still a mod here. I already got my "preferable mod" by time zone and now you're here. You know, Portugal is right next door to me and is in the same time zone as you. Not in the same time zone as me thanks to Adolph Hitler and Francisco Franco. Your presence allows me to sleep an hour extra. Not that that matters, the more mods the merrier is my perspective. I've seen how you navigate around here and you're great. I've already made you a mod. You haven't deleted yourself, so I guess you're here to stay! Siyah and I plus that Canadian guy Zoidsberg thank you for helping us out. You're more than welcome to stay here and moderate.
haha! I had no idea penguins were learning how to use computers and how the English language works. If you're alive, a human being with an internet connection, and are awake when Americans are normally awake, then you're a moderator here. So, please tell me in all seriousness, do you live in the Americas and have a pulse? That's all we need here for you to be a moderator. If you turn out to be a dud I can just undo it all. No worries! I won't even have to do that, anyway, most mods disappear from lemmy as soon as they have spam created communities.
Anyway, I'm a huge fan of Canada. I have so many memories of visiting Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick. Anyway, welcome to moderating our community. As far as hockey goes, I love my Bruins. I don't see that as a problem here. I'm about to go to bed. Siyah is probably scheduled for sleep 6 hours ahead of me. Then, it's all about you. If anybody insults somebody else, you just delete the fucker. If someone is bored and wants to post something that smells to you as questionable for accuracy and you're not sure, you just ping my ass and I'll look at it. It never happens. But who knows? Today could be the day. Easy gig. You made my gig easy signing up. Welcome to the mod team. Smooth sailing, really. People here are really lovely.
Oh, I'm a huge hockey fan. I may live in Spain, but I'm from Boston.
