What kind of apostrophe use is

You’ll have people arguing two hundred years later if women are technically members of the generic plural ‘boys’.

“How about a salad?”

I recommend distrohopping to check out Vista and iOS. It’s easier to get started with if you dual boot them on your W11 netbook.

I like flapjack* for the occasional programs I want the newest version.

*Sure, autocorrect, let’s call it that now.

I’ve also hopped distros on a scale of several years at a time. Loved Arch before I was living on an awful internet connection; did Ubuntu until they messed with snaps; loved Tumbleweed for a few years, but the volume of updates was getting a bit much; nearly learnt Nix but a trial run of Home Manager went up in flames, then I realised multiple layered package versions wasn’t worth the ‘stability’; now Mint’s been doing the job nicely, but I’m tempted to try KDE’s new distro someday.

It’s not even shorting it. Imagine if you took a plain battery and tried to charge itself from itself. You’d connect +ve to +ve and -ve to -ve: it’d do nothing.

I think the battery pack does clever things stepping voltages up and down: that’s how it can give charge at the same 5v as it was charged itself. So in this case those circuits will be just burning off energy.

in a ball of FIRE!

Going back in time is cheating a bit, but around 2013 my computer was an 8gb netbook. I carefully segregated my files into a couple of GB that I’d keep available, and the rest on an external HDD. To this day I keep that large/small scheme, though both parts have grown since then.

“Grumpy Grognard”. Do we have flairs on Lemmy? I can subtitle myself, grumpy grognard.

Fair point that laptops aren’t really the use case, though there have been times I’ve wanted to try things out on my laptop - actually that’s a reason I still want to learn podman or docker, because I hope it’s a way to try server-y things on my laptop without polluting my system, and being able to cleanly uninstall.

But okay, space on servers. I have a VPS with 20gb storage. And that has to include my backup data that lives there.

None, in fact, because I still haven’t got in to using docker! But that is one of the factors that pushes it down the list of things to learn.

I’ve had a number of low-storage laptops, mostly on account of low budget. Ever since taking an 8GB netbook for work (and personal) in the mountains, I’ve developed space-saving strategies and habits!

On year seven, after Mayor Lewis sold out to Joja despite your best efforts to restore the community house, you challenge him to a battle of Junimo-singing and frighten him all the way off to exile on Ginger Island. Half the town side with you, but the governor rolls in (in his Joja-branded limo) and rules with an iron fist, bringing in cheap labour fleeing the Gotoro Empire, and torturing those who try to resist.

“Stardew belongs to the valley-folk!” you cry from your farm, now fortified and suffering the bitter winter month.

“M’lord Farmer Sir,” says Vincent, now grown up and serving as your errand boy. “News came of a trader caught trying to enter from the Calico Desert. The Gov’s forces were going to execute him-” (would that be poor Robin with her famous axe?) “-but he was saved by the ominous arrival of a green jelly!”

For a moment your hopes rise: are the prophecies coming true, that you found inexplicably written in a note in your farmyard tree last year? Will this mysterious interloper perhaps give you victory and free Stardew Valley from the clutches of the evil governor and his swarms of cheap immigrant labour? … From the dirty, rude, immigrants … From the immigrants…

You slump forward in your hands downcast, at last facing the terrible realisation: that you have, in fact, become the very evil you once swore to destroy.

Thanks :-)

Getting paid to be there through the night for the times when a person is actually needed, as well as being on site to keep an eye on things. Sounds like honest work to me

But fibre does form a crucial part of a healthy diet. Much on fibre optic cables while you sweat hard to dig up the real copper.

I have ADHD -> I’m excellent at moving from one task to another.

I dunno about those of you who have more substantial ADHD, but I find moving intentionally or external-led from one task to another - i.e. other than my brain’s natural flow - is one of the hardest things for me. Switching from, even, washing dishes to mopping up water splashed, can be a great mental strain.

I have anxiety -> I anticipate accidents and hiccups before they happen

Those do go together for me.
