That’s scummy, but I don’t care if your ads for amazon on your blog or whatever don’t work. Not my problem.

My company did that too, then they replaced us with cheaper labor from overseas.

I’m curious, do you recall what hardware issue you had? I’ve been using Fedora-based Aurora on my 13 and 16.

If it makes you feel any better, this happens in the UK, too.

That did make me feel better, thanks! 😃

I’m betting hard that microplastics are actually good for us

Plenty of easy solutions. I’m not here to tell anyone their preferences are invalid but I personally don’t consider the lack of a headphone jack to be a deal breaker when there are easy solutions.

You probably could, but you’d have the taste of citric acid (which is not awful) and baking soda in the water. The Spärkel has the water that activates the reaction in a separate chamber so they don’t wind up in your drink. You need to change that water every four or five times you use it.

I use a “Spärkel” carbonator. Instead of CO2 canisters, it uses packets of citric acid and baking soda to generate CO2 and uses a compressor to infuse the liquid.

Pros:

• You can either use their pre-measured packets if that’s convenient for you, or do what I do and just buy a bulk amount of both the citric acid and baking soda.
• You can carbonate pretty much any liquid. Water, wine, flat soda, mixed drinks, you name it. The sodastream will explode and cause a huge mess if you try to carbonate anything besides water.
• They don’t appear to be Israeli.

Cons:

• Because it uses a compressor, it needs to be plugged in to operate. It’s pretty loud too!
• It takes longer than a sodastream. While a sodastream is almost instant, this will take 1-3 minutes depending on the level of carbonation you desire.

Agreed. It’s touch optimized, not mouse and keyboard. That’s not a criticism!

I love Voyager on mobile but feel constrained by it on desktop. (It reminds me of using Gnome, which is not my personal preference.)

Ah, this is so cool. I have been absolutely loving Aurora. Maybe I can make a check point and rebase to this to try it out.

Is there good humor somewhere on Lemmy?

The health insurance industry is an abomination. It’s completely across the purpose of keeping a population healthy to try to extract and concentrate wealth out of the process, and they’re dug in like a tick.

It’s possible! https://lore.kernel.org/all/YzwooNdMECzuI5+h@intel.com/ This was only 2 years ago.

There was a intel driver update that broke some laptop displays. It’s not impossible. https://lore.kernel.org/all/YzwooNdMECzuI5+h@intel.com/

I don’t think Beastars was a documentary

Except that time like 50 years ago when Universal sued because Donkey Kong was too close to King Kong.

It looks like they’re considering adding some equivalent of a robot.txt to express consent or non-consent for posts on ATProto, but of course as they say:

“Bluesky won’t be able to enforce this consent outside of our systems. It will be up to outside developers to respect these settings.”

“Personal Data Server.”

I recommend we use that random one I posted which is sure to be assigned to someone.
