[HN] Five billion phones are dead in drawers – carriers want to mine them
It would be better to cut out the planned obsolescence of phones. I have a $1000 phone in my hand that is in perfect working condition. In a few months it will no longer receive security updates. I could use this phone for another five years if the manufacturer wasn't so greedy. That would reduce the land fill.

I just made a post. Hopefully, we can get some traction to build a small community on Lemmy.

The pickups are Lace Alumitones. They are ultra-quiet and articulate pickups and have no wire coils. The polished aluminum bar that you see is the conductor of the electromagnet. I also wired a ghost pickup system into the bridge.
I cut the pickup rings out of sheets of copper and melted silver dust into them. This gives a discoloration from the heat and splashes of silver on the copper substrate. I have been silversmithing for a few decades, but woodworking is always a challenge for me. When you mess up, you can't just melt it down and start over.

Anyone else like small spaces?

He's a large Mini American Shepherd. By large we are only talking 38 lb. But he does have that classic Bernese coloring.

I am not quite sure how measure. I would say around 20" at the withers, but he is much bigger than any of the other dogs from his litter.
I have had full sized Aussies before as well. Imagine taking that energy and compressing it to a singularity that is always ready to explode. That is Rufus and I wouldn't trade him for the world.

This sounds great. I moved to CT a round a year ago and am into Linux and FOSS as a hobby. I will check out Discord.

I've used gnome for years, about a month ago I decided to give KDE a try on my old spare laptop. Two days later it was on my desktop and work laptop. I am loving KDE.
