I limit things to swapping the launcher to Lawnchair, disabling most of the Samsung apps and loading Google equivalents (including gBoard). With the exception of notifications and settings, it’s a reasonable experience. Most recently I did this to a Galaxy tab S8. It’s close enough to my Pixel that it’s not irritating.
True Stories. After 40 years I still watch it every few years to make sure it’s still wierd. Excellent social commentary.
Oh no! Anyway…
I don’t need the ultra features. I didn’t even need the pro features. I bought Sync pro for Reddit as a “thank you” to the author. A subscription is a bit different. I would be more willing to spend a couple bucks on each feature release than a subscription.
I live in a town of 4500 in the California coastal mountains. We have a library, a dispensary, a volunteer fire department, and an ambulance. We’re open about diversity, and the mountain skinheads (NAZIs) are disliked and can’t get a foothold. Internet connections are touchy and max out around 50mbps. The power does go out so often that most folks have backup generators. Mine will handle a two week outage.
The only thing missing is a decent night life. I may be a biker, but the local biker bar is very sketchy.
Detectors of any sort can only flag expected variations from expected norms. AIs’ goals are to be undetectable with continuing improvements. Detectors help them do this by flagging failures. This is the same way antibiotic resistant bacteria evolve (well, it’s similar).
Reality has a well known left leaning bias.
Conservatives and their politics do not have equal status. In this climate, “both sides” is toxic and suggest each is equally supported and viable. They are not. The right is an incredibly hateful minority end should be treated as such.
The fine article bounces back and forth between base salary and total compensation (salary + bonus + stock grants). It’s hard to be certain of which they are actually using, but I work in Silicon Valley and this seems more like total comp than base pay. (Stock and bonuses can more than double total comp.)
We’ve shifted the grocery past of our shopping to Thrive Market.
We should include Pixelfed here.
Home: Windows 11, work OSX. I moved my personal computer to Linux a couple years ago (I’ve been using Linux since the mid 90s), but game support was an issue. I’ll try again soon. Windows is a necessary evil that I’d like not to be necessary.
I just had to work with my doctor to fill out an ADA (American Disability Act) form to allow me to work from home. I’ve been working from home for three years and only needed it now. (I do have the disability, but this whole back to the office thing has been annoying.)
Ignorance of the problem will not make things better. 
Over a decade on Reddit makes this a multi-day slog. It looks quite useful, but I’ve spent the last month moving into Lemmy. I’m using the same strategy here that I used there: search for the basics, subscribe, read, and if anything interesting mentions another community, subscribe on the fly. (Of course this strategy is probably why looking at Wefwef’s migration is overwhelming.)
TL;DR: ADHD makes some things a challenge.
I need someone (or some two) like this locally. Sometimes the strength is needed. I also need a handy person on call because getting old sucks.
I always ask “do you want help with that?”
If they’re talking nonstop, they don’t want input. If they’re not, this is the question I ask. Most of the time they just want to be heard, but not always.
I started using Spark late last year. It’s simplified my mail handling quite a bit. There’s also a desktop client for Windows, Dunno about OSX and IOS.
Indeed it is, though a clogged fdm nozzle can be pretty irritating.
I find myself in-between at the moment. I have more experience with resin printers, but I started with a cheap resin printer and a cheap FDM printer. I had a stellar accident with my resin printer this week – I forgot to bolt down the tray, which got hoisted up and hooked over the build plate, spilling lots of resin everywhere. This particular printer (which will not be named), has a big hole, without a raised edge for the arm that supports the build plate. Of course some of the resin ended up inside the printer. I cleaned what I could see, and even opened the printer to clean inside, but it was insufficient – the build arm froze on the next print. Currently it’s broken into pieces and sitting under a fluorescent light attempting to harden everything. When it’s hard, I will disassemble further and attempt to chip all the resin out.
In the mean time, my only fall back is the cheap FDM printer, which has never worked well. I bought cheap printers to experiment with. While I’ve just effed up badly, I know a lot more about what I need in a printer. I’ve ordered a larger scale resin printer (Elegoo Jupiter) and have had my eye on Bamboo for FDM. Why both? Each has advantages and disadvantages. Resin handling is a PITA, and fiber has a lot of variety (and easier cleanup).
I haven’t upgraded the fiber printer yet. I intend to, but I’d like to recover from this disaster first. ;-)
The best I can do for you. Note: don’t live in the EU and don’t use this company. This was just the first hit on Google.
