I would say that while there are general rules of thumb, it’s generally good to never assume the intentions or beliefs of another user based solely on their home server. There are nice people all over, and there are also a lot of assholes all over.

By the way, as to your question mark, they are just called “Communities” on Lemmy typically, though I think some instances call them something different occasionally.

True what people are saying about no ability to roll back, but if you want to install windows 10 to the device, you used to be able to buy 1 time activation keys for stupid cheap (under $10). Then you just have to flash a USB with the windows 10 installer ISO and use the key when you get to that point.

The downside of a one time activation is that if you ever brick the OS or some such, you have to buy another key and can’t reuse the original you purchased.

If it can be proven that an LLM bot account is present on the instance masquerading as a human user, I would recommend you report the account for that reason/spam so that it can be investigated and removed per instance rule 4 after evidence is found.

Since they aren’t people, I’d say it’s pointless to reply to them with ad-hominem in the first place since it means nothing to them, and therefore reporting it would be the more effective action to take in any event.

Why not both.

Instruction unclear. Please send step 2 at your next convenience.

Yea, in my case im not sure what the impression of me was. I am single and work full time and don’t have the money or time to cook meals for 4 people let alone the dishes and stuff for that many.

Not in my experience. I guess it might depend on the brand or affect individuals differently, but I’ve been using grocery store off-brand dish soap for this for like 10 years and never had a problem.

Oh neat, I’ll have to go watch the new one when I have a chance. I recall it working quite well and being absurdly cheap - I can’t recall if he did a cost analysis. Maybe I’ll watch the old one again and then the new one haha.

Yes, that’s what I mean. I don’t pay for TV because I just put all of my media on a Jellyfin server as I also don’t want to watch ads, let alone pay to watch ads.

Ah I seem to recall a video he did about dishwashers and why the pods are bad etc. I think he may have briefly touched on making your own detergent using bar soap and borax as well as the manufacturer recommendation to put some detergent in the bottom in addition to behind the spring loaded door.

Yes but I think there is a miscommunication here.

I’m not talking about detergent/dishwashing liquid - I’m talking about liquid dish soap which I can purchase locally for about $3 to the litre and is a different thing.

Detergent/dishwashing liquid is definitely much more expensive and probably would not be great for washing hands.

Bar soap is definitely still cheaper though overall, you are correct.

True enough. I haven’t had any problems in using it myself but I supposed you could ratio it with some water or something to make it not as intense for hands.

It’s a lot cheaper than hand soap too so in doing this you could probably get a tonne of hand washes out of it for really cheap.

The primary downside to it for me is that it lasts ages and I get kind of tired of the smell.

Television. It’s like paying to see ads.

Hand soap. Dish soap works better and you can use it on dishes in addition to your hands.

A dining table. I eat at my desk or standing at a counter. I was pressured into buying one by family because it was apparently bizarre to them I did not have one. Got the cheapest one I could find to appease them. I have now owned it for 4 years and it has never been used once, it just takes up space.

If you are coming from Windows, I would say Mint for sure. I have friends that are 20 using it and my parents in their 70’s use it. Both seem to like it and even find it easier to use in quite a few respects.

Speaking of Quod Libet, Ex Falso from them is still the best way to fix meta data on music that I have found - so very very handy.

Definitely agree - I usually use cmus because it follows my system theme as part of the terminal and kind of fits in anywhere, but for graphical players having options for skins is a must for me. Used to like all the options for this on AIMP when I used to use Windows.

That’s true, the problem with the original statement is that it is too broadly scoped by “knowledge”, implying that it is any and all knowledge. If I obtain the knowledge to write a singleton in object oriented programming while at work - even if the concept is applied to a work project, and later use the programming concept of a singleton in my own software, then they can’t do shit.

A simpler example that shows that it’s too broadly scoped is that if I get trained and certified to use a forklift for a job, and later start my own company and have to use a forklift, there is no precedent for my original employer to come after me for using a forklift in my business operation just because I learned how to use a forklift while I worked for them.

If the knowledge is proprietary or copyrighted or a trade secret and what I do uses any of that, or what I produce is a 1 to 1 product of that, then they can come after me.

FIDE is just such an awful cancer on the back of chess at this point.

If Emil offers some backtracking apology, it shouldn’t be accepted. He’s too bereft of humanity to realize that perhaps the reason why people may have not wanted to support Danya as much publicly is because to do so would put you straight in the crosshairs of Kramnik, and no one want’s to be harassed for years by him.

Where were they Emil? They were being forced to hide because your organization failed every player of the game, and as the head of the organization, that is your fault. FIDE should have illegitimized Kramink years ago.

A new governing body for chess, made by the players of the game has to be established and FIDE should be boycotted into non-existence.

This is amazing, really excellent work.
