In the beginning of COVID I ran out of tea once and since then I got used to just drink warm water from the tap in most cases. 🚰

That’s new to me. For me so far it was sufficient to follow this part from the linked article…

Or, if Windows is already installed, from either the Sign on screen or the Start menu, select Power (Power button icon) > hold Shift while selecting Restart. Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware settings.

As you’re currently using Windows on your PC, you might have to do an extended reboot. By default Windows skips the UEFI/USB step in the boot sequence to make Windows boot slightly faster.

From my perspective mails are federated. If I want to explain federation as a concept to someone I always use mail as an example because everyone can write to everyone independent of the provider, you can selfhost it easily, you could move from one company to another (if you use your own domain), protocols are all FOSS.

So at least it’s an open and distributed system. What would be missing for it to count as federated?

Also, in the greek alphabet Alpha always comes first ;)

The problem with most crypto compared to regular money is that it’s often seen as an investment. However, one of the most important factors for a currency that is used in everyday transactions is stability and predictability. Money is supposed to ease trading goods and services as a universal middleman. It’s not supposed to make someone rich who invested first.

Of course there’s also inflation and deflation with regular money but as soon as that’s getting out of control, it typically leads to serious economic issues.

But just a tiny Matchbox car that you need to spend a small fortune over almost two decades before it’s ready for use.

Depending on the speed of the hotdog car you should get your exhaust checked. ;)

Not for you today. Try again another day with proper shoes!

Does it work to change that on-the-fly by manipulating the HTML source via the browser’s inbuilt dev tools?

As per the statement all remaining instanced will go down over time, though not sure how long that will take.

It also works with Amazon FireTV (Stick) or any other Android TV box / stick, just in case you have already one lying around. ;)

I don’t think being interested in the (ancestors’) race of a co-worker is necessary racist. I worked with people with all kinds of cultural backgrounds and it might be just an interesting topic to talk about. If someone has family in Iran, Senegal or Indonesia that’s definitely more interesting to me than a conversation about weather or last night’s football game.

And the middle one hugs the one in the back <3

Unpopular opinion: I hate Elon Musk and basically never thought I’d consider buying a tesla. But to be fair, I did quite some research and a couple of test drives with various cars and overall the model 3 is the best deal for my requirements. Especicially, it seems to be the most energy efficient car in that size and cost range. You can drive a model 3 with around 15 kWh / 100 km even in winter on the highway where competitors range around 18-22.

Regarding the two buttons for the turn signals: yes I’d probably prefer the old-fashioned approach with a lever but the two buttons are definitely not as bad as claimed in all the articles. I got used to it pretty quickly during the test drive and also in roundabouts it is practicable even thought not the most ideal approach.

I’ve always missed a rating/feedback/comment feature in F-Droid. A lemmy-based solution would be pretty cool.

I agree, so easy to sort stuff like that. :)

In German we also say it in the order as we write it.

From my experience it’s definitely not as bad as described there. Yes, there are some issues here and there but still a 3D printer is an awesome tool to have at hand. I often designed / printed spare parts and fixing something on a Sunday afternoon spontaneously. Without much planning and lead times, without a third party printing service. Feels pretty awesome.

I would say in 8 out of 10 times I can just plug the printer and start using it without issues. In 1 out of 10, I have to do some small tweaks (e.g. bed leveling for 5 minutes) and in maybe 1 out of 10 I have to invest a bit more time for leveling or unclogging the nozzle. But even all that is less than 30 minutes.

Fixing the printer is nothing that I enjoy but using it is so handy that it definitely makes up for the small hassle here and there.

When I checked online printing services the last time, they were really expensive. For my very first project (4 custom card organizers) it would have cost me more than a hundred bucks. My printer + the initial accessoires were around than 200 bucks and I’ve printed so many functional parts since then that it easily amortized itself within the first year.
