Well passed time to do some monopoly busting.

Next time don't buy HP, :(.

I'm an old school emacs guy, I prefer that for c++/python/etc and run KDE Neon because I like KDE and I'm used to ubuntu (and Kubuntu has some issues). For c++ I use CMake, google test. Not really a fan of docker etc. but I have used Kubernetes and docker in the past. Those types of containers just create new and more complicated problems than just testing on the target platform, but in some niche cases it can be useful.

I can't stress enough how awesome emacs is, but it takes a serious investment to get efficient with it.

Is this an anti-meme?

Yes this is the anti cancel tactics that many companies use and the ftc is working on it: https://www.npr.org/2023/03/23/1165527249/ftc-rule-charges-cancel-online-subscriptions

I recently canceled surfshark too (i hope) and I recommend Mullvad if you need a vpn in the future, you pay for one month at a time, no subscription bs.

Lots of stuff here, assuming you are a minor because if not you should move out immediately.

First about the AC, I would recommend you ask to turn it on when the temperature is at a certain level in your room, say 80 or whatever your parents can agree to which is a more reasonable way to control it.

Next, I think daring your father to disown you sounds like a bad idea, I would not recommend you to escalate the situation since it sounds like a very poor relationship. If your mom can't help, maybe you have grandparents that can help you? Good luck, try to hang in there.

Scientists like Michael Mann are trying very hard to not create so much panic that people give up and stop trying to end fossil fuel use. But this article is definitely panic inducing lol.

Ugh, how can a US citizen not be a doomer these days.

Interesting that nowhere in the article does it mention that 1/3rd of the country was underwater last year. This is what climate change looks like...

HVDC links between countries will also make renewable energy transmissible to places around the globe that need it, so sun shinning in one country can be transmitted to where the demand is.

Cool what did you get and how do you like it?

Built up this Milwaukee bikes steel frame a couple years ago, my favorite ride.

I think it's a bit weird to copy paste a link in order to subscribe to a community... Luckily I found a browser plugin that mitigates that. It's the little details and usability improvements and performance optimizations that need to happen for Lemmy to really take off imo. As for Limdit, I like the theme, otherwise don't have an opinion yet.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lemmy-instance-assistant/ Is what I've been using.

This is great!

Just sprung for a bolt v2 since it's on sale today and I'm still using an old edge 500 that has seen better days. My wife has a bolt v1 and I think it's great, the app integration is nice, the screen is really easy to see etc. From what I can tell the v2 ad 530 are pretty similar, there are many videos about it. I tried a hammerhead karoo 2 and returned it, the screen is just too hard to read in sunlight.

I use strava and non of the garmin stuff for stats, so go that route if you switch to the bolt.

Looks great, I like it better than Rex and Chris'. I'm inspired to give this a shot...

I was about to say Samsung, but then I just googled and found they were bought by HP lol... So no idea.

I use kde neon, I much prefer it to Kubuntu.
