I’d wager you’re right, the lines to the right of the deltas flex with the uniform, so they may have used a metallic puff ink screen printed on.

Probably a kernel update that required a reboot, then a bunch more updates that had a dependency on the new kernel. I usually just click update when I jump on in the morning and let it do its thing before I get started for the day.

No, Apple can begin supporting RCS and play nice with other phones (not just Android) using a modern, encrypted, and open messaging platform. But they choose to fall back to SMS intentionally in order to market their devices as superior.

Eh? RCS is an open standard. Yes, you're basically required to use Google's RCS endpoints at this point unless you want to host your own, but it's far superior to SMS. Apple made their own proprietary version in iMessage instead, so you have iPhones on iMessage and every other phone in the world on RCS.

Yup, this is why you should always sign up using a credit card, never your debit card or bank. You can issue a chargeback online pretty easily with most credit card companies these days, it won't affect your credit, and the money never leaves your bank account.

What part of buying a textbook for $250 then selling it back in like-new condition to the same retailer for $20 three months later is bad for the consumer?

It’s really not. Run it in Docker on your home PC. You don’t need to moderate any users because you don’t need to have any users on your instance. It quite literally is “just set it up once,” defederate instances you don’t like, and occasionally upgrade the software like you do any other app.

That being said, a few Lemmy apps now support blocking entire instances, so that IS more simple than it was even a few weeks ago.

I’m a “best tool for the job” kinda person, and since only a few of the games I play work on Linux, my gaming PC will stay on Win10 til I’m forced to upgrade. We can all pretend that Linux comes anywhere close to the ease of use and compatibility of Windows or OS X, but it doesn’t. I wouldn’t be caught dead using anything Microsoft in a production capacity, or using Linux or OS X for gaming. Linux support for games has come a really long way, but I’m not going to hamstring myself just on principle, especially one as ridiculous as OS loyalty.

I’m a huge Linux supporter. I maintain an infrastructure of thousands of Linux servers, don’t have a single Windows install. My work laptop runs Linux, the only one in the company not on Windows or OS X. I have a mini-PC proxmox setup running a bunch of VMs for different services like pihole, FoundryVTT, NVR, etc. I use Linux for everything except my gaming PC.

And even I find the Linux fanboys absolutely intolerable. Go ask a question in @tech and any possibility of an actual helpful answer is drowned by hundreds of “Install Linux” comments that are all up voted to the top. The entirety of some of the most popular communities are completely worthless because of zealots like them.

Start up your own private instance and defederate hexbear.

Where did you read this nonsense? The COVID vaccines are FAR more effective at preventing illness and death than the flu shot. The things we learned about mRNA vaccines made for COVID will be used to improve the flu shot and other vaccines in the future. There is quite literally no reasonable argument against the vaccines. They’re extremely safe and extremely effective.

Central Florida has AT&T fiber now. I pay $108 a month for 2.5gbit up and down. 1gbit is $80 IIRC.
