Have you tried either Summit or Blorp?

Summit is my favourite pick, but Blorp is fantastic and was that for Lemmy for quite a while before switching. Summit feels a bit more modern and clean to me.

They are very clearly “a 40 year old traveling nurses who is a lesbian”

With the added shipping and tax on bringing it into the country, plus postal insurance on an international package like that. Really not worth the time, money and downsides compared to just buying local

It’s already ridiculously expensive for what it is. $700 in store here in Australia

Well this name was definitely a lesson to double check what you read from a post when just scrolling on by…

I saw this video show up as well, and it got me thinking what are mine?

I tend to do tonnes of research before buying any tech. But potentially it would be my TP-Link BE6500 WiFi 7 router. Like it works amazingly well, and it solved all of the routing and bandwidth issues with streaming and gaming on WiFi, however I don’t think it was worth the price or headache getting it working.

Otherwise, not sure if we’re regarding this as tech, but I purchased the Illumi Classic IPL device a few months ago. I made the wrong decision here, I should have spent the extra and picked up the Illumi Pro instead.

Not sure of local pricing in your area, but would a ThinkPad T480 or T490 be within budget? The AMD version (I think it might be the T495, someone correct me if I’m wrong) would be my pick personally.

I think it has to depend on a person by person basis. For example, I have to be left for me to figure it out, if anyone else tries to get involved then I guarantee I will be burnt out after a day and then just give up for a while.

Others may benefit from the help and guidance, but not all of us unfortunately 😔

I’ve gone up and down throughout my life, and these days I am quite an awkward individual in person.

However, what worked for me in my early 20s when I was probably at my most sociable was finding a hobby to interact with people in. Even something as simple as a monthly book group can work wonders on your social skills

Timber and truckers is what I was originally taught. I remember it taking a while to get the truckers hitch down then out of no where it was like ‘snap’, had it ever since lol

gamedate.org really deserves to be promoted around gaming communities way more than it currently is!

So many older but still online shooters could be somewhat revived (even if only briefly), would love to play some Day of Infamy with a full server again!!

Hi! No not at all, at least for me on both devices (Skyline and S25) Blorp ran great! If I get bored of Summit I’ll immediately return to Blorp ☺️

I’m a pretty geeky IT person, who is trans, watches anime, reads manga, and plays WoW.

Yeah I’m basically a walking stereotype at this point 😅

This resurfaced a really old memory from when I was like 8 or 9 maybe.

We had a homework assignment (kind of) for school, where we had to go out and pick a star from a spot in our backyards or wherever, and then for each night over 2 weeks we had to track the stars position relative to our position we chose on night 1.

This was around the late 90s by that point, and I always thought it was pretty cool to get our young imaginations going on the stars beyond ☺️

Not sure if it’s available on F-Droid or not, but I’ve been using Summit lately and absolutely loving it. Blorp was my previous favourite, but I prefer the bit more modern and clean UI of Summit.

I did try Jerboa about a year ago when I first tried Lemmy, but quickly dropped it due to UI/UX issues I was experiencing at the time, but I would personally just stick with Blorp if it was between them.

Voyager was another I tried previously. Earlier I tried on my other phone (HMD Skyline) and consistently had performance issues with the app (long load times, occasional crashing, janky scroll). When I got my S25 I thought this would be solved with the more powerful device, and while it was much better than before, I still had performance issues.

Hope this helps a little!

This is going to be all about how they implement it imo. There was a specific line in that article “for those who want it”, if they go for an opt-in approach which only then installs the AI capabilities, then yeah okay I don’t mind as an end-user.

If however Canonical implement AI into Ubuntu without being opt-in, then I’m out and never turning back.

This is my biggest thing I need to change in my life currently. I’ve been told so many times now that the weight I’m holding on to is most likely still due to the soft drinks and sugary energy drinks I consume way too much of

Same experience here. I don’t think I’ve seen a bot in the comments yet, different story on Reddit thats for sure. And when I tried the recent Digg reboot, I’m pretty sure every second or third account was a bot

Maybe for ‘beginner friendly’ Arch distros in the future? It’s like the only use case I can think of

I tend to find through my work experience that it depends on a couple of factors, which industry, which department, and how senior they are.

For example when jumping on calls or attending client meetings, the IT peoples, Engineers, anyone technical really is pretty much never in a suit. I don’t have much to do with HR departments, but I to find their 50/50, could be the “chill” HR department where the HR lady is passing off active wear as work clothes, or the strict HR department where they are 100% in suits.

The more senior you get, especially in sales and marketing roles, C-Suite, etc. the far more common suits become again, the only industry I don’t see this so prevalent in is the tech industry, however I don’t work with tech companies too often as they typically have their own people lol.

I know in my role, I only wear a suit or a blazer 3 times a year, and that’s my companies conferences where we have a dress code for the first day.
