That seems more likely but we won’t know for sure until they tell us.

I would not take a laptop backpacking, but if I had to, I suppose I’d probably try to use something small and ARM based to get better battery life (but, more likely, I’d just use a phone instead which is smaller and waterproof).

It kinda depends on what exactly you need to do though. Can you provide us with more details? What do you need the laptop to do?

What kind of backpacking are we talking here? Going into the wild for weeks or months at a time? Going on a little vacation through cities in Europe?

I’d guess because it does not produce enough power to justify the cost of creating the condenser/turbine, otherwise, they probably would have.

They could scratch you up for sure, maybe poke an eye, but they’re more likely to avoid to than attack unless they’re guarding a nest or something. If they come at you, take off your jacket, an umbrella, or grab a tarp or something and open it up to catch their beak/claws and probably scare them away too.

If you happen to have something like an air horn, that would also probably scare them off.

American here: It’s a Christmas movie for sure, whoever you were talking to was talking nonsense IMO

We used encyclopedias, first physical, then virtual.

Also, there was the public library (which was, and still is, awesome).

Overall? Meh.

I don’t hate it, but they’re not great either.

Fluent.

Native means you grew up speaking it.

Linux is mostly pretty easy to install/use at this point as long as you stick with a main distro like Mint

Practically speaking, 3D printed stuff is inherently unsafe even with “food safe” filament due to the spaces it allows for bacteria to grow, potential contaminants from the printer itself (like the nozzle), and the risk of microplastic contamination even if you can mitigate risks from the other two.

If you are worried about microplastics, I would also avoid using teabags entirely: Get loose leaf tea and brew it with a stainless steel capsule instead because unfortunately the teabags leach PTFE into your teas.

It’s the cycle perpetuated by idiots and assholes in C-suite who either do not understand or don’t care because they’ve chosen to prioritize short term profits over making the company sustainable: Outsource to “save money”, lose money because they fired all their competent staff and are left with grossly underpaid, overworked staff on the other side of the planet who often barely give a shit or barely understand, resulting in the company having to rebuild their in house support anyhow, ultimately costing much more money but by then, the execs have probably jumped off with their golden parachute so it’s no longer their problem.

Some leadership is wise enough not to do this, but it’s very, very common.

Don’t bother, just make your own communities or magazines and contribute to them regularly.

“If you build it, they will come.”

You can tell people about it if you like (especially if it comes up casually in conversation), but if you try to push it too hard you’ll drive people away.

If the fediverse grows too quickly, it will also introduce more problems existing systems may not be able to handle.

It means this is his last term, barring any changes to the law or extralegal shenanigans, period.

Give him a call and see!

It already existed, check out Lenny. Glad there are more options now though so scammers will be slower to catch on.

Nice, there’s also Lenny, which is great as well.

“Annoying”, “serious safety hazard”, safe difference, right?

They kinda did, but it was an accident.
