Yeah Valve doesn’t ship to NZ. I have a Steam Controller 1 and have previously had an Index as well, but I had to freight forward to get them, and I seem to recall needing some trickery of changing the Steam account to another region to get it to work.

I’ll be trying, but there’s a 99% chance it’s not available in my country 😭

Huh interesting! I see playing on their website that an equivalent laptop is more expensive in the DIY version, it’s just that the starting price includes no RAM, storage, etc.

So the DIY is for people who want to bring their own parts, not for people who want to get all the parts then save money!

Framework sells DIY kits so the European dude assembling the laptop could be himself!

According to this page it’s about that 25% of the whole tyre, where more than half the tyre is not rubber/synthetic rubber but other stuff.

So there is more synthetic rubber than natural rubber. But the mind-blowing thing for me here is that I kind of assumed the whole tyre was synthetic, but they are only 25% plastic and still are the biggest source of mocroplastic.

Basically concerns from contributors about the governance structure of the project and how their drive for profit may impact it. And how this FOSS project with significant community contributions has it’s shareholders (yes it has shareholders) considering it their sole property.

There’s a little on Wikipedia here.

I guess it depends on the specifics of what you are worried about. I have a catchall set up for a domain I own, and so I can make up an email on the spot. I’ve never had trouble getting those accepted.

But for random internet stuff I tend to use either Firefix Relay or Simple Login. I use these most of the time and don’t normally have issues, but if I do then I use my own domain.

I think these relay email services (which are not temp/disposable emails btw) let you set up with your own domain too.

Oh so when you said:

subscribed community | posts (today|week)

You weren’t asking for a way to see posts for a particular subscribed community, you wanted a list of communities with the number of new posts in each?

I’m not aware of a way to do that, no. But I wonder if the communities list page might help you find them? If you go to the communities page and sort by Scaled, like this:

https://discuss.online/communities?listingType=Local&sort=Scaled&page=1

Then small communities with recent activity should show at the top?

I’m not quite following.

If you go to the community and sort by new you’ll see new posts? That seems to be what you’re asking.

Also see the “scaled” option for your subscribed feed. This makes low activity communities show up higher in the list to try to stop them being drowned out by high-activity communities.

I’m from a colony and pudding would normally be dessert unless further specified. I’m curious what specifically it was, was it anything listed in the top-ish section here?

Savoury puddings include Yorkshire pudding, black pudding, suet pudding and steak and kidney pudding. Sweet puddings include bread pudding, sticky toffee pudding, tapioca pudding, and rice pudding. Unless qualified, however, pudding usually means dessert and in the United Kingdom, pudding is used as a synonym for dessert.

I guess that depends on how much bigger the moon is than the Grand Canyon.

There is already plenty of empirical evidence to support the claims of the harms of social media, but in spite of this, change is glacial.

I think at one point you could make the same argument about medicines. The problem is that politicians are appointed with a popularity contest.

I don’t remember all the arguments of the article, but when you think about it, the harms of social media are medical. It’s possible that we could expand the scope of the current medicine approval boards to include algorithms, with their job not being to understand the algorithm but to understand the research on mental health.

I don’t have all the answers, but I do think it’s an idea worth exploring.

In my view social media is probably not the problem, but the algorithms they use that are designed to be addictive and manipulative.

I saw an article once arguing that the algorithms should be regulated in a similar way to medicine. Give some base ingredients they can use freely (e.g. sort by newest first), then require any others to run studies to prove they are not harmful.

There would be an expert board that approves or declines the new algorithm in the same way medicines are approved today (the important bit being that they are experts, not politicians making the decision).

I use a dedicated Raspberry Pi (5, previously had on a 4).

I host everything else on a different server, the HA one is dedicated. Pretty nice because then it can run HAOS and basically manages everything itself.

One factor in keeping it separate was I wanted it to be resilient. I don’t want stuff to stop working if I restart my server or if the server dies for some reason. My messing around on my server is isolated from my smart home.

I also have a separate Pi (4, previously on a Pi 1B) that runs Pi-hole, on it’s own Pi for the same reason - if it stops working or even pauses for a moment, the internet stops working.

Reminds me of how any app in Android can see all the other installed apps. Great for fingerprinting.

Lemmy is a different kind of platform. Twitter wasn’t for me, but I never clicked with Mastodon either. Some people like the microblog format but I just never got it, or maybe I never worked out how to use it probably.

90s me would have killed for speeds like that!

I turned it off because it kept triggering when I (or someone else) was talking to my Home Assistant Voice Preview (which the blog says it won’t do…). I also never really worked out good uses for it. My HAVP is in my kitchen/living room area, and is mostly used for playing music and kitchen related things (setting timers, unit conversions, etc).

If I ask home assistant on my phone to play music, it plays it on the HAVP speaker in my kitchen. I don’t really have a need for timers or conversions outside of the kitchen where I already have the HAVP so didn’t find any use for it on my phone.

Accessing every password would require a breach of the browser or the extension, right? Because the extension will only fill passwordds with a matching URL, so with the browser must be compromised to provide the wrong URL, or the extension compromised to accept a wrong URL? I am not sure how separating the extension and the manager helps with this?

Interestingly, auto-filling can also be more secure than just typing in your credentials, because the extensions will only fill if the site URL matches, where as people can be tricked into thinking they are on a different site.
