I was thinking that as well.

Depends on if I want to listen to music or just have a radio on.

If I’m listening to music, I’m using Jellyfin. But I also have a large music collection.

If I just want a radio, it’s either Spotify or Amazon Music depending on where I am.

I also attempted a semi-successful build of Gentoo on a PPC Mac around the same time (nothing before or after that has compared in its level of nightmare).

Amen!

Didn’t read the article and I haven’t really used Android in a almost a decade, but aren’t most android devices on seriously old versions and sold with 2GB RAM or less. Or are shit Android devices less common nowadays?

Last time I seriously considered an Android device was 8ish years ago and devices running Android 2 were still being sold new.

Dig long ago dug its grave. Then Reddit jumped in too. Long live Lemmy.

You’re panicking. If you want to help, stop.

Life’s a bitch and then we die. We haven’t done more than get a glimpse of the bad part yet.

This shit started when everyone started looking to the federal government to solve all their problems. Started caring only about who was President but not paying attention to who was running the schools or local governments. Looking for the easy path instead of the right or best path.

As long as we still have elections, there is still a chance to turn this country around with minimal bloodshed. But it takes actually paying attention to whom your voting for and not just voting for the letter by their name. And then holding them accountable when they fall short.

I could go on and on about all of the ways that this can still be turned around, but I’ve got work in seven hours so it’s bedtime.

I get the sarcasm, and the downvotes, but I have always viewed my employer more of a customer. My product that I am selling is my time, passion and skill. So with that in mind, what can you bring to the table? What’s your skill set?

If you have a CDL or can get one, almost everyone is hiring. Company driver pay is generally in the $55k - $120k range. Though your first year or 2 will probably be less. Downside is you’re probably away from home a lot, and are held personally accountable for any damage you do. Literally, I could quit my current job, and be hired and getting payed by a new company within the week. Historically the average has been 2 days.

If that doesn’t float your boat:

I know of several towns within a 50 miles of me, that don’t have local electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs or even a handyman. You could charge as much as the traffic will bear.

Everyone in the local area is looking for every type of mechanic and can’t find them.

Nurses are always in demand (and very much not respected enough). Pays well too.

If you prefer working with Unions, the Boilermakers and Pipefitters will both train you. Both have more work than people last I heard.

Farmers and Garbage collectors both are having their help either deported or leaving the country, so they are probably hiring.

But ya, if you’re looking for a nice comfy office job, that would indeed be a tough row to hoe. Everyone wants the comfy jobs, so they’re scarce and the pay is shit. There is a reason I drive a truck.

The TSA workers have the same simple solution to a shit boss everyone else has. If the BS out paces the pay, walk away.

Probably not, but I doubt you, a random stranger on the internet, could cause more trouble than the current lot.

So take the downvote and we’ll give it a go. 😂

Well crap. Knew it was coming but still.

Anyone know of a good weather service that doesn’t rely on NOAA?

So. Not my state, but I’m pretty certain that that might run foul of the US Constitution. Even with the current Supreme Court.

Possibly. On Reddit, it’s possible to take over a dead subreddit. I’m not sure how that would work here. Especially if the original server has died.

For S&Gs I did a search on Reddit asking basically the same question. Didn’t find an answer but I did turn up this post from 12 years ago tracing the history of Reddit. Thought it was interesting.

Depends on the decade.

I know Voyager does, at least on iOS. I would suspect most of them do.

For Windows, Exact Audio Copy has been the standard for some time. In Linux, what I run, I tend to use Ruby Ripper which should be available in most repositories.

Either path ends with me adjusting the tags using Picard. Which reminds me, it’s been a few years, I need to check and see if there are any new rippers available for Linux.

Could he? Certainly, his actions certainly seem to fit the text of the law. Will he, under this administration? <laughter> That would be an incredibly cold day in hell.

Perhaps the next administration might pursue charges, but that’s still quite unlikely.

Depends what you call tech. I’ve been looking for a salt nic vape (say 10 watts) in the 1 ohm range with a easily replaceable battery for the last year. Bonus points if it doesn’t leak to hell and gone. Haven’t had a whole lot of luck with that so far.

Pretty much any portable device with a standard type, user replaceable battery. God bless Ryobi and the other power tool companies for building weird but useful tools beyond power drills. All with replaceable batteries.

At one point I was looking for any type robust portable storage media that had reasonable storage capacity and good shelf life (2+ years), and was large enough to actually write on a label what was on it. So far the closest I’ve seen since 2005 have been the portable SSDs and the newish USB m.2 enclosures but that’s still not quite what I’m looking for. Too large and non-standardized. Gave up on it several years ago and built a publicly accessible Nextcloud server. Yes I’m an old fart, dislike cloud storage and miss the floppy, Zip and Mini-Disk storage formats. I currently have a dozen mystery jump drives sitting on my desk in a 3d printed rack with only the vaguest clue whats on any of them. Most of them so small you can’t even put a key tag on them. I hate it.

A reliable multi port (4 or more) USB-C charger that can output 65+ watts on all of its ports at the same time.

A reliable source for 100w USB-c 3.x PD cables that don’t cost an arm and a leg. Anker makes good PD cables but tops out at USB 2.whatever.

Pretty sure more would come to mind if I sat and though about it for a while, but I’ve got to head to work now.

For a long time, many companies treated the SSN as a sort of secure password that only the individual would know. Some companies still do. Others, like schools and the military, just treated it like what it is. A unique id number. If you know name, address and SSN, it’s possible to do a lot of different things that can create headaches for the person who was targeted. New credit cards, bank accounts, loans, transferred utilities, rental agreements.

Because the social security number has become the default way to uniquely identify an individual in the US despite the fact that it was never intended for that function.
