It’s a public community - anyone is welcome to read the content. They only ask that people with the specific lived experience comment in the threads. If you’re not interested in the content then, like the rest of Lemmy, it’s on you to block it.
If they’re not publicly viewable, how do you expect people to know to look for them? How many communities / subreddits have you become a part of because you saw a post from it crop up on your feed?
Ask your friends and family as well. Someone has an old laptop/desktop from school or an old job stuck in a closet. A lot of people give up when their machines become too slow, but they don’t bother with basic maintenance to see if that will speed it up: virus checks, uninstalling un-needed programs, clearing caches, defragging the hard drive, etc. I have one friend ditched a PC because it ran too slowly and when I checked it out they had two antivirus programs competing with each other, making it impossible to do anything else. Other people take the fact that the battery or charging cable died as a signal to get a replacement.
Ask your friends if they have an old laptop (or desktop, if that’s acceptable) lying around. It’s surprising how much old tech people have stuck away in their closets these days
Just a note for anyone getting older: when you get your cataract surgery, when they insert the new lens into your eye, they can make that lens a prescription lens. And one thing you might consider doing is requesting that one lens be made slightly long-distance and the other slightly near-distance.
I’ve gone back and checked a couple times, this is the first time I’ve seen them restored.
I overwrote all my comments, then deleted them, and they’ve been restored as well. Anyone know a working tool to permanently delete stuff?
AI data centers are also gobbling down massive amounts of electricity, stressing the grid, giving consumers higher bills for worse service. All for something that pretty much everyone hates.
Much better when they have the little “vision impaired? click here!” button :(
I think the bigger problem is that there are at least 50 trays of tomatoes there and it’ll take a bunch of kitchen space and time to process all of them, all of which has to be done on next-to-no notice. It’ll also take a lot of time and supplies to can them all - though at least whatever they have the time and space to process will be shelf-stable in the end.
Well then maybe the AI industry deserves to die.
Good!
[I am now on a list.]
We prefer to think of it as ‘nicely trim’, tyvm!
Here you go! :
I’ve blocked like five of their accounts. I wish there was a setting that would block PMs/chats. Anyone who wants to talk to me can do it in public.
I’d call the local Fire Marshal.
How do you handle banking? So many places no longer allow Americans to have bank accounts because of the reporting requirements, or did that change when I wasn’t looking?
It means that’s a serious answer, and a serious recommendation. And I agree that you should read that book.
It takes a lot of time to design a new, official US coin. I’m sure this is a “commemorative” “coin”, worth about the metal it’s printed on, being sold for excessive amounts to rubes. The only thing I’m uncertain about is whether the money goes to the shithead in the White House or some random grifter trying to cash in.
Tribeca is a neighborhood in Manhattan. Everything in Manhattan is more expensive, simply because of the cost to rent the store. [Not denying there are other factors, but that will be a big one, simply because Manhattan cannot grow outward any more.]
Rochester is a large city in the north of New York State, on the banks of Lake Ontario. It has plenty of room to grow out - and it’s surrounded by rural counties. Eggs are cheaper there simply because there are more chickens and less humans than there are near Manhattan.
Again, there are unfortunately other factors in play. But surely they could’ve used a better example than the price of eggs in two such disparate parts of the state?
