Primarily playing Guild Wars 2 and getting prepared for the new expansion around the end of August! I’m also super stoked for Baldurs Gate 3 and going to jump in with some friends!
I like analog gauges. I very much like knobs. I dislike anything digital in a car other than a touch screen. Cars need to be able to be operated at a glance and by feel.
Yup! If I’m driving and want to change station or volume I need to be able to know what I’m doing without watching, and it already feels distracting and dangerous enough to me. With a touch screen I can’t feel the buttons or knobs and I must look at the screen to do anything.
I never had a car with a touchscreen (my current car doesn’t even have an AUX or USB port) so I don’t know if it’s already like this, but probably an hybrid between the two would be ideal. You get a touchscreen to thinker with it and create presets or whatever when you’re not moving, and buttons to change song/station/preset/volume/whatever when driving
Disagree. I like having the screen for Android auto with music, podcasts, and especially gps. I do hate digital buttons when they aren’t necessary but i like having the big main display.
Those were my observations NOT accusations. Anyone can do a site search of lemmy and make their own determination of how many conservative groups that currently exist. This appears to be the only one. Then note the level of activity in this one remaining group. Lemmy like reddit can run things however they want so I am not condemning lemmy just noting my observations.
It’s not my observation. While I had no idea it was happening, my level of interest dies outside of this thread - a thread that kinda sorta reads like an “as a black man,” only as a “as a moderate voter.”
If you are here to prove there is some sort of persecution, then typically citing the evidence is helpful.
If you are here to just stir the pot, though? I guess you’re doing a fine job.
This conversation just confirms why I stay out of political groups. As a moderate I incorrectly thought that I could make an observation without it somehow being viewed as some kind of heresy.
Dude - I don’t know where to look and a simple screenshot backing up your observations is no where near as difficult as telling me to “Google it,” basically.
I’d love to hear reasons people vote for Republican policies, as I do not see them being truthful in what they say the policy will accomplish vs. what is accomplished.
I have several friends who are conservative and moderates and have a text chain going back 6+ years, personally between them and myself.
The one constant we ask for, that has been instrumental in our continued friendship, is that if you make a claim provide the source.
It would be better if that was the accepted standard for discussions with differing view points.
Well, what in the world is a “moderate” these days? I don’t know of a middle stance anymore. On one side in the USA we have book-banning, anti-science, christofascist, anti-woman, anti-lgbtq, isolationist, traitors with the average IQ of a potato. On the other side we’ve got the Democrats, who’s policies align with the 1990s GOP.
So, what is a “moderate”? You agree with abortion banning, are anti-vax, and deny climate change? BUT you don’t believe in Jewish space lasers, you don’t support insurrections, and you’re ok with birth control?
You see the issue here? The tag “moderate” doesn’t work anymore. Just as there’s no middle ground between Ukraine and Russia. It’s why nobody here is going to take you seriously. Go use one of the de-federated echo chambers if you want support for whatever crazy bits you believe.
Beat hazard 3. It’s in early access and I love the simple concept of “music creates the stage”. You can use digital copies of songs, or in this new fangled age of streaming it allows for a plethora of other streaming services and even just desktop live audio if you happen to have some dj streaming on twitch open.
It’s basically asteroids with upgrades, bosses, and waves upon waves of musically generated ships to blast.
Each track completed awards a unique new ship to pilot, procedurally generated. There is a galactic conquest mode where all your music is made into clusters in it’s own galaxy. And the solo dev of the whole thing went ahead and added upgradeable special attacks in the most recent update, which is why I’ve been playing this week.
Lemmy from Motörhead is the only other Lemmy I ever knew. Therefore, it was clear to me, that the name our our new home is a homage to the god of rock & roll and whisky.
I did manage fleet of Ubuntu and RHEL/Fedora instance. Mostly in education is research based services on top of container, either docker swarm or openshift. Most tech stack is PHP, Python for ML, and NodeJS
In software industries, I use kubernetes, and tech stack Nodejs, c#/net core, php, Java, python, golang, and some other popular language. Mostly using microservices arch, with DDD-MVC approach.
In education we have 10-20 Ubuntu/RHEL/Fedora for production, in Uni Labs, we have fleet (more than 20) of Gnome desktop with RHEL, supported by Red Hat Academy APAC. We do dual boot with windows because some WPF/.NET Desktop development lecture still held, but with Avalonia and React Native, seems it will change near future.
In software industries, mostly developer use windows, but they do debug on WSL2. Only small percentage using Linux desktop. Some are using mac, but it’s under 3 people, negligible. Well…
For Education, it need about 7 years to fully moved from Windows server 2012, using Full Linux. In past some lab do have MacOS server, but I never encounter or support them so… I can’t speak much.
But in software industries, from start, we have Linux box, and grow over time. We only have special windows server for SQL server that need reporting server ability, mostly tied to SAP/ERP project, the rest are in Linux Box. Mostly we use red hat ansible to make standard deployment. We do have cloud init, but only for first deployment, then ansible.
Not sure how relevant will this be to your question but the admin of the instance I’m on is quite transparent with the server performance etc. and perhaps it’ll provide some insight. Also quite interesting was the fact that storage itself is cheap but the bandwidth fees are not (from the comments).
I still haven’t figured out how to correctly link to posts on other instances so I’m pasting a direct link hoping a friendly bot finds it and updates it: lemmy.zip/post/509553
Most people are skipping the important point here, though I did see it at least once: the money you pay now is worth more than the money you’ll pay next year, or the year after that. That’s true not only because of inflation, but also because of your own earning power. Are you making the same amount of money today that you were making 3 years ago? Probably not–I’d guess that you’re making a little more. That means that each dollar you spend was a little easier to get, and is thus is worth a little less. The 12.5 K that you would pay now is probably worth more to you than it would be if it was spread out. So spread it out. The more dollars you pay later, the less those dollars are worth. This is a no brainer on a no interest loan, but it can still be true even if you’re paying interest, though the calculation gets a little complicated. If you have a relatively low interest loan, it might make more sense for you to keep making payments than to try to squeeze it in all at the beginning, especially if it’s a house mortgage (which are usually long-term). Those monthly payments, in 20 years, will be worth a lot less than they are now. It might seem crazy, but it doesn’t always make sense to maximize payments at the beginning of a loan just to reduce interest because 2023 dollars are not the same as 2043 dollars.
This is good advice to follow even if you do have air conditioning. Keeping the heat out makes the AC work less. Maybe invest a nice set of thermal curtains.
This is not good advice for poorly insulated houses, which most are that live in temperate climates. The sun will heat up the house almost immediately, making it an oven.
