46 at present. Furry porn sites that weren't tagged NSFW, memes, shitposting, a number of communities from the h... server (you know the one), tankie communities.

I'm subscribed to a lot of communities, too, but I still use the all feed for discovery.

Doing my bit to support the open web. Plus, while it's probably just familiarity, I've always felt that Firefox works with me while Chrome works against me.

Sure, why not? Everyone has their own reasons for moving and climate contributes to an area's quality of life.

When I moved from Southern California to the Pacific Northwest, the benign climate here was a factor. Didn't want to live somewhere where it was blazing hot every day for months, where it was a steam bath all summer or where I had to shovel snow every winter.

Mid 60's in the US. I've always driven manual transmission cars. Fairly common for folks my age to know how to drive manual transmissions, since most of us had economy cars in the 70's and 80's. At that time, automatic transmissions were an expensive option and had a negative impact on acceleration and mileage.

My daughter is 29 and doesn't know how to drive a manual transmission and I don't think most of her peers can, either.

EDIT: Accidentally a manual.

This really has very little to do with consumers and everything to do with a tug of war between processors, banks and businesses. I'm skeptical that any potential savings to businesses is going to be passed on to consumers.

From a personal perspective, I'll miss rewards cards if they go away. I make all my purchases with plastic and pay off the balances in full every month. In 2022, I received $711 in cash back.

I knew someone was going to ask that and I'm going to give you the lame answer that I don't remember for sure. It's been a while since I used my Chromebook, but it was a fairly mainstream application that wasn't compiled for ARM. I ended up using the Flatpak version, which worked fine but was a resource hog on an ARM Chromebook with only 4GB of RAM.

The S330 has an ARM processor, so definitely avoid that one (and any other Chromebook with an ARM processor). To be honest, I would buy a cheap Windows laptop and install Linux on that rather than fiddling with trying to get it to run on a Chromebook.

Or, as others have said, leave ChromeOS on the machine and run Linux in Crostini. If you have a reasonably speced machine it runs pretty well. Although again, I would avoid ARM as some Debian applications aren't available for ARM Chromebooks.

In my 60's. According to Internet sources, shorthand was taught in schools until the 1990's. It's likely that shorthand use declined as PCs became common in offices.

I'm old enough to remember when shorthand was a required course for women in secretarial schools. I always though it was black magic and very cool.

Buy a newer car and increase my 401k contribution. Maybe I could retire a couple of years earlier than I plan to.

I don't think an apology is necessary. You were completely comprehensible and there wasn't anything wrong with the way you expressed yourself. Conversations on Lemmy are informal and a lot of people write the way they speak. We're not composing academic papers here.

Because the Republicans, with their allies in the Federalist Society, have been planning this for decades.

Because the US Constitution excludes the most representative institution (the House of Representatives) from the appointments process. The President (determined by the Electoral college, which gives disproportionate weight to low-population red states) nominates justices, who are then confirmed by the Senate (where low-population red states have disproportionate power).

And here we are. Where the conservative supermajority in the USSC exists because two presidents who lost the popular vote have nominated justices who were then confirmed by a legislative body representing a minority of Americans.

MHO... I would not miss Hexbear at all if they were defederated. Most of the content I see from them is pretty obnoxious, and even the "nice, polite" posts have a strong sealion scent to them. I block most of their communities when I encounter them in my All feed, and will probably block the instance once Lemmy has that capability.

That being said, I support the decisions that @sunaurus is making in regard to Hexbear. His decisions about site administration and moderation have always been sensible and competent.

But what about the source of funds for Hunter Biden’s laptop? Is anyone investigating that?

Not necessarily worse, but more ambiguous than if I say something is good.

I agree with the posters who are telling you to stick with Windows if your career depends on software that isn't Linux compatible. If you want to play with Linux you can install WSL on Windows, run Linux in a VM on Windows or buy a cheap used/refurb business laptop and Linux to your heart's content on that.

Very cool. Didn't know they were building one.

I guess the reviewer doesn’t care about software updates, because Motorola’s support is abysmal.

No extra steps, just update as you normally do. The only thing you'll notice is that more packages are updated. The updates you get between point releases are for security issues and high-impact bugs. Lower priority bug fixes and updates are rolled into the point releases.
