I've been using Tutanota. They are kind of similar in principles to Protonmail, but until recently were dirt cheap at €12/yr (now €36/yr). The only "drawback" is that you can only access your mail through their app, this is a feature, not a bug, according to Tutao.

Bicycle.

Yesterday while driving on a two lane road with a bike lane there were two people on bikes. What appeared to be a man and a woman in full brightly colored garb and helmets. Both were weaving in the bike lane and/or riding on the dividing line between the bike lane and the road. At one point, as a few cars were approaching them from behind, one of them whips over into the center of the road for no reason other than to block traffic thereby forcing the overtaking cars into the oncoming traffic lane. There was no obstruction on the bike lane. The other rider proceeded with weaving about unpredictably. She simply couldn’t stand the idea of someone safely passing them and forced an unsafe condition for everyone involved…

Can’t Understand Normal Thinking.

I pray that every bike she every rides has a slow leak in both tires no matter how often it is patched or replaced. The more time she spends off the road pumping up the tires, the less time she is endangering herself and others.

Rarely is someone on a bicycle and not an asshole!

SexyFlanders138 ,

This is such a strange perspective. I’m not a bike rider, but never understand people’s issues with bikers, joggers, or anything on the road besides cars. Sure, assholes are everywhere, but nearly every biker? That has not been even close to my experience, and I mostly see cars/trucks being unnecessarily aggressive towards bikers and runners.

Old_Fat_White_Guy ,

I live in an area with a lot of paved bike trails… made specifically for bikes, walkers, and joggers to have a SAFE place away for automobile traffic to enjoy their outdoor activity. Also there are bike lanes along side many main roads. The issue is the asshole that isn’t using the provided bike lane and intentionally blocking the main automobile lane while weaving unpredictably thereby making it unsafe to pass.

Driving down the road and a farmer on a tractor pulls out with a trailer loaded down with hay going 5 mph… that’s an annoyance but he’s got work to do and NEEDS to get where he’s going… sucks to be caught behind him but whatever he’s gonna get off the road eventually.

An asshole on a bike unnecessarily whipping over in front of a line of cars for no reason other than to be an asshole… that’s not acceptable behavior that’s a self important entitled asshole. Blocking traffic for LOLs is a dangerous game to play.

ccunix ,

For pulling out into the lane, it may have been called “taking primary”.

If the road is not wide enough to pass them safely, that is the best place to be. That way drivers cannot try and squeeze through. Obviously, I cannot speak for the precise road conditions where this happened, but it is legitimate in certain circumstances. Traffic calming is a good example, as it makes the lane too small for a safe overtake. Add in the fact that most cycle lanes in cities are more dangerous than the main carriageway and you can see why cyclists will take the prime quite often.

Old_Fat_White_Guy ,

That’s where the problem lies… in that particular area the bike lane is plenty wide enough for two bikes to ride side by side and the main roadway, in both directions, is plenty wide enough to not crowd the bike lane. No reason whatsoever for her to move out of the unencumbered bike lane and block the automobile lane which forced everyone attempting to overtake into the oncoming lane. It WASN’T a no passing double line so it was a safe place to take the oncoming traffic lane if it is empty of traffic. She was clearly playing stupid games. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes or fuck around and find out both apply and if she keeps up with that type of action then most certainly some day she will find out what winning a prize is all about. Of course the automobile driver will be the one at fault for driving in the main traffic lane and not avoiding the asshole on a bike.

PureTryOut , to linux in Integrating VSCode and Distrobox
@PureTryOut@lemmy.kde.social avatar

I use VSCodium in Distrobox daily on Alpine Linux, and it works flawlessly. I don’t experience the problem you encounter but I use KDE Plasma which I suppose handles it differently.

I am however looking into slowly moving over to KDE’s Kate for development, my laptop really doesn’t like opening multiple chrome instances for the various instances of VSCodium and then also an Android emulator on top of that.

rainier OP ,

I think part of it is my trying to use VSCode on Wayland… are you launching VSCodium with Wayland?

Accessibility, I find a lot of things still have issues on fediverse (especially the mobile app scene). Although I am atleast well under 30 if that helps break the stereotype haha.

As far as I’m aware this was possible before the api changes. I’m not sure it’s possible anymore

I finished using Andrew Banchich's shreddit (install via cargo, it's mentioned above) only yesterday.

You999 , to selfhosted in How much power does your home lab take?

Avarage load for me is around 300w running two T320s, a R510, and a NUC. The T320s are clustered running plex, 'arrs, pihole/unbound, game servers, and odoo. The nuc serves two purposes, firstly to keep quorum in the cluster and secondarily as a low power device to run a secondary pihole/unbound instance incase the power goes out as it’s the only server that will stay on UPS power until the battery runs out. The R510 is my storage server with around 56TB and growing.

I am planning on adding a GPU server with a few tesla P40s as I’ve been using my workstation for these tasks which makes it difficult to use it for work.

I went from Resilio Sync to SyncThing because Resilio stopped working for me. SyncThing is… complicated, but I can assure you that you’ll figure it out after climbing the difficulty cliff.

Lots of zoomers are on Mastodon. They’re in niche sexual communities

maybe everyone here respect more, looking more mature, giving the impression of older people

Very_Bad_Janet , to piracy in A great mobile app for free music

So, to use this, I download F-droid to my Android device and then download Vimusic?

cutitdown ,

That works. F-Droid is an alternative to the Play store. You can also download the .apk directly instead if you prefer. Just scroll down to the versions and find the most recent.

idk837384 OP ,

You don’t need to download F-droid, you can just scroll down to the downloads section on that page. Also you can just find the ViMusic GitHub repo and download it from the releases there.

Isotretinoin ,

Do you need any help with fdroid ? did you do it ?

Socialphilosopher , to fediverse in What do you think is the best solution to having the same named communities on different instances?

İt’s very difficult. It will be a feature of uniting/separating communities. This will only visually show the groups as a whole. We will also be able to name this group. In this way, we will be able to see the content on similar topics in different instances as a whole.

HRDS_654 , to fediverse in I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.

I try, but at this point I think it might be too late. I’ve been on the internet pretty much my whole life and didn’t realize how big of a deal privacy was until I was in my 30s.

greatwhitebuffalo41 , to asklemmy in If you suddenly had "fuck you" money what would be the first thing you did?
@greatwhitebuffalo41@slrpnk.net avatar

I probably wouldn’t quit my job because I like it. I probably wouldn’t even tell many people I had that much money. My only debt is my mortgage so that would be gone. I’d probably buy a better house with an actual yard. Sell this house to my roommate for dirt cheap. (There’s no way he’d just take it)

Probably do some lying that my brother won some kind of raffle and give him a bunch of racecar parts. Shit maybe even sponsor a race team or two, gotta get the young kids back in the sport as all the old guys retire.

I’d probably buy some land in another area, give myself a vacation house. But this wouldn’t be immediate. Probably get a new car, mines pretty old. Build a greenhouse on my new property, have way too many rescue animals. Maybe even run a small rescue.

All this is assuming I’ve already set myself up for retirement and I’m good to go with everything else.
