Learning Mastodon since 2022
That’s what I have and it’s great! No exhaust to waste the hot air, just a water outlet/reservoir. It’s maybe a tad slower than a conventions dryer but it still dries an entire load in an hour or less, for way cheaper.
The other factor that makes a massive difference is having a washer with a high speed spin cycle. Mine is 1200 rpm but I’ve seen up to 1800 rpm. Even 1200 rpm squeezes out way more water than your typically slow top-load machine.
I in fact DID click the links and change the filters on the tool to test the europe sites. Try it yourself next time.
And sorry but no, the Guardian, The Verge, and AP news, etc do not provide the same products. I simply choose to accept the reality we live in and deal with it.
From Europe they’re actually better than the other news sites you list here. Either way, I’m using ad-blocking, DNS filtering, and I do general browsing like this in a separate browser that wipes everything on exit sooo 🤷 saves you from worrying about this stuff or even thinking about it much.
Graphene likes to push the use of user profiles (just called “users” in the OS) but I find that to be a trash experience myself. Instead, you can enable work/personal profiles right within the single user account and keep sandboxed Google Play and the apps requiring it all within the work profile. You can restrict location and other permissions for Google and don’t even need to log it in for it to work. You just need the Island or Insular app to enable profiles.
The Google camera app works perfectly for great photos with the pixel hardware and last I checked it doesn’t even require network access or Goodie Play - except it won’t embed GPS in photos without Google.
As you can probably guess, the amount of data Google gets will really depend on your setup! I like to use NextDNS to further filter connections. (Pihole might be better but it’s more effort.)
Regarding seedvault, you can have it save to a webdav location, Nextcloud, or directly on the phone. If saving on the phone you could just have SyncThing or something similar auto sync the file to another device.
Agreed! Knowing what I was getting myself into was the only reason I even bought my MacBook. One thing not mentioned in that write-up is that if you increase your swap file size to offset the limited RAM it’s surprisingly quick still, I assume due to a fast nvme drive. For my use case it’s perfect. I’m even able to run some LLMs using Ollama that don’t otherwise work with 8gb of memory.
For Windows machines I’ve found the Linux experience has vastly improved over the years. It seems that most mass-market hardware is functional right out of the box.
I think hibernate is a missing function - I’ve never tried it though. Here’s a good write-up on the pros/cons and potential issue depending on your use case :

Maybe not what you’re looking for, but I use Asahi Linux on an old M1 MacBook Air and it’s quite nice. I bought it used for $480 last year.
They constantly force you to update or the app won’t work. I was already having issues with Revolut on GrapheneOS so I just closed my account and switched to Wise. The Revolut app was a bloated mess anyway.
Wait, you’d prefer a rando barrel plug to a standard USB-C PD?? Why?
Long ago, pre-internet I read this sci-fi book “Star Chase” by Brian Royal that I found at the library. (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1520203)
I later looked it up and found out it was a blatant plagiarism of “Escape Across The Cosmos” by Gardner F Fox.

Even the authors name was faked!
Not a medical procedure, but take the time to reevaluate your medical plan before open enrollment! Look at the cheaper plans and see how much you’d save in premiums. It might be greater than the difference in max out of pocket. And if you get a qualified “high deductible” plan you can even contribute the savings to an HSA that you get to rollover and keep forever into retirement, without ever paying taxes on it.
There are always people claiming Organic Maps or other OSM apps are perfect replacements for GMaps and I’m just curious what other tool these people were using for location based searches. Because it apparently wasn’t GMaps?
Yes, and so much more…
Look up Nielsen transaction data. Stores use commercially available checkout systems that work with Nielsen for tracking. This data isn’t just for the store itself, but is sold to all sorts of other businesses.
Your credit card also tracks every purchase you make and sells that data. Experian partners with Nielsen.
Stores also use customer tracking and even facial recognition in places where it’s legal or they can get away with it. Look up RetailNext. They sell not only Bluetooth “beacons” for tracking devices within range, but also ceiling/wall mounted devices with cameras for “Shopper Journey” data. These devices track your movement throughout the store and plot the data onto a store floor map to show what products you look at along with all sorts of other stats. They can even differentiate between employee faces and customers.
Lastly, look up how Kogniz uses facial recognition to surveil and flag unwanted people in stores, and potentially even call the cops on you if it thinks you’re a criminal.
And who knows what other commercial tracking services retailers use. If I didn’t see these services advertised to the marketing folks at my job I probably would’ve even know they existed.
Key points:
Temperatures in that part of the Atlantic cooled off more rapidly than at any time in records extending back to 1982. This sudden shift is perplexing because the strong trade winds that normally drive such cooling have not developed.
“We’ve gone through the list of possible mechanisms, and nothing checks the box so far.”
“It’s the latest episode in a string of events for a climate system that’s gone off the rails for a number of years,”
I have this but it’s no good for consent-or-pay, unfortunately.
I think Geometric weather is abandoned but Breezy Weather is a newer fork that’s maintained. I recommend it!
Makes so much more sense than a Cybertruck or Ford Lightning!
@derivator wow it would be amazing if Infinity and Apollo could just plug into Lemmy using this proxy. Right now Jerboa is alright, but I’d immediately switch to Infinity.

Packs a punch vs crunchy but bland?? Are the celebrities the croutons? And is this a common regional saying somewhere? I kind of like it
