I actually kind of like hearing about his ongoing effort to waste billions of dollars and destroy his own platform, but the community is definitely misnamed. It contributes more Musk-related content than the rest of Lemmy put together.
My understanding is that it was created in response to a ton of Musk spam which was primarily positive, when he was first emerging as a popular figure. People got fed up with hearing about him, and started Enough Musk Spam to point out how absolutely terrible he actually is.
Nowadays, there’s much less positive Musk news, so it feels more like a misnomer. But it was started as an attempt to highlight how bad he is. Seems to have worked a bit, tbh.
It’s a case by case thing. Admittedly I’m defending myself here as I’m 41 dating 25 and I will never assume to be a good person or doing the right thing but am at least trying. Basically minding and respecting the gap but allowing the fact we fell in love to go ahead and happen.
Both guys (idk, I heard age gaps are more common with gays anyway?)
He was the one to approach me and ask me out, I’d thought about it but was reluctant to, turned out he got there first
I check regularly that he’s happy and remind him of where the difference will be in 9 years for example
It’s an open relationship, largely for his benefit and freedom (of course I get some fun too) and heck we’re not actually all that sexual between ourselves
I’m not in any rush to pin him down, and often say he’s free to do what he wants, enjoy the 20s fully and decide for himself if he wants a future with me or not. If one day he finds someone closer in terms of age or distance and wants to let me go, of course I’ll be heartbroken but love and want the best for him so would respect the decision - hopefully ultimately remaining friends and lives made richer than when we started.
To be honest, whilst I know it’s not a good thing, I’m a late bloomer, so in various ways kind of like the same age but sadly in an older body
I’m not gonna be like “oh I’m a good person so it’s fine”, I don’t know that. I might be an asshole. I can only try, based on things like the above, hopefully without being labelled something nasty.
(Who am I defending against anyway? Probably my own conscience.)
Same thing happened to my mom’s HP except that they sent her the wrong cartridges so she closed her account. They bricked her printer. I bought her a Brother.
Ford’s patent document also mentioned playing annoying audio meant to bother drivers dodging payments.
The patent filing also clarified that late payments might result in a driver given partial access to their vehicle during the week so they can earn money for financing, Insider reports.
Sounds like they want to be in court a lot. There’s no way any of that is safe.
Why are they getting patents for stuff like that? I thought patents were for mechanical inventions only, not new money schemes to stop others from doing the same so you’re known for that scheme?
Ford’s patent application mentions the possibility of payment plans for financially struggling drivers and exceptions for when a person is hospitalized or out of the country.
Good advice from 1901. Especially the bit about not marrying women older, taller, or wealthier than you. Especially all 3. Even if she's like 1 day older, 1 inch taller, or $1 wealthier than you. You gotta man up and not tie that knot!
Actually, a good advice in general though. Not many marriages last when the woman is considerably wealthier or older. Not sure about taller, I’ve seen a lot of successfull exceptions.
Honestly I’ve unironically missed the entirety of the image at first, I went directly to the text. And probably a lot of internet-savvy people would, this kind of image is useless decoration 90% of the time and people are trained to not look at it. Same concept as in that research where they asked people to find the current population number on a webpage and they had a very hard time, despite the value being in big red digits or something equally distinctive.
I was so sad to find out that Samsung pulled out of the printer business a few years back. I’ve had a Samsung color laser (it’s actually LED, but it looks like any other laser printer) for over 10 years and it has been nearly flawless all this time. I don’t print a ton and on an ink jet printer, then cartridges would have dried out between the few times I would actually need to print something. Then you’d waste like 1/2 the ink just to unclog it and realign everything. But this Samsung just doesn’t skip a beat if I let it sit for 3 months - it fires right up if I need something. And unlike HP’s offerings, the drivers for this printer aren’t like 2 GBs in size with a ton of bloatware.
Brother is still a good contender here for laser printing - I’ve had a new color laser from Brother for a year or so and I’ve had zero problems with getting it to work on Linux, the toner is cheap, and the print quality is great.
Won’t give HP and Canon another dime so long as Brother is quality.
I hope to never have to replace this Samsung, but Brother is one of the few brands I would consider. I remember back in the day Epson made the best print-quality ink jets. No idea if they make laser printers these days, but I might consider them as well.
it was an amazing company that did legendary, pioneering research and development and made outstanding research tools. the HP of today is the result of 50 years of mergers, acquisitions, conglomeration, and violent shittification.
The HP you mention still exists today as Hewlett-Packard Enterprises, a separate company from HP Inc, which is the consumer-facing brand. It’s very similar to what Motorola did in splitting into enterprise and consumer companies.
Fun fact! Motorola started out as a company making record players specifically for cars. The big name in record players at the time was Victrola, and since they were making them for motorcars they called themselves MotoRola.
Even more fun! In-car record players were made upside-down so that the weight of the record held it against the needle. These are all of my record player facts.
