If that is your interpretation then maybe that is your purpose.

What is the purpose of a snail or a polar bear or a single blade of grass with their life?

That is my purpose.

From the 80s-90s, my guess would be some proprietary format of conferencing or intercom that has not existed for thirty years or more.

I think it is fair to assume that if you get electronics branded by a candy manufacturer, you will not get any sort of quality electronics.

Obviously they shouldn’t be a fire hazard but still.

It’s very useful for dog owners when you can’t give it a proper shower. Dry shampoo and then brush it out.

Pro tip; do it outside. It’s a mess to clean up indoors.

For nerdy nerds like us a torrent client isn’t anything complicated. Regulating up and downstream bandwidth to personal preference isn’t complicated. Managing torrents to seed and not isn’t complicated. For your Average Joe though…

Not daydreams but I have scenarios that I explore in different narratives I make up to ease myself into sleep. Currently it’s a sci-fi one. They are not intended to be stories for anybody else and I have no ambition to write anything down.

And the traditional beverage of choice is the carbonated soft drink Julmust, despite a certain international soda company upping their efforts every year to be associated with Christmas. (Their Christmas ads are not very popular in Sweden because hey it’s once a year something is outselling your product, you greedy ghoul. Let us have our own traditions.)

Sweden. Some people are having decorations up already but normal is from advent. Christmas is celebrated the eve of the 24th with dinner and Santa visiting in person. Dinner is commonly a Christmas ham and other regional or family traditional dishes. 25th is a slow day when kids are playing with their new toys and the adults are relaxing after the build up until Christmas eve. The evening of the 25th is quite common for young adults that are visiting their family home in a town where they no longer live to go out to the local bars and get shitfaced with people they used to know, possibly air their teenage grudges or crushes and get in a fight or laid depending on the scenario and outcome.

Same here with ml and I got banned from subs and by mods because I am just a filthy leftist and not a full on totalitarian cultist. Signed up on some different other ones. Learned some time ago that it is possible to filter everything and everyone from ml and my Fediverse experience has improved bigly.

My understanding of space engineering is that getting rid of heat is a bigger problem. Makes me wonder how much of efficiency of Stirling engines are lost due to extra weight and complexity for heat exchangers and radiators.

If this post is intended as discussion material; No, not as long that I have my stationary computer that fills my gaming needs.

I think that’s the same game I queued up for like 90 mins at a computer fair to have a few minutes of very confused playtime and that was it.

I remember trying the first VR headset game 1990 that ran on a Commodore Amiga in like 7 fps and was terrible in every way.

Back in the day scanners were not the table model that is obsolete today but were drum scanners or hand scanners of which the latter was a hammerhead mouse with a horizontal optical sensor and regular computer mice used balls for tracking.

Back in the nineties I was told off that Windows users are fanatical to their OS by a girl with one single sticker on her bicycle and it was the Apple logo.

We worked in the same music studio with exclusively Apple computers and my money job was administration of an office with mixed Windows and Linux and BSD environment.

I never had problems with either OS but I did have problems with Apple hardware being 2-3x the price for performance back in the days when performance mattered.

I dunno if she mistook some single mouse button banter as something personal or what. Needless to say she didn’t take it well when I laughed it off and told her I don’t decorate anything with neither penguins or the Windows logo.

Why?

lemmy.ml is good to avoid not only for political reasons but people that are nuts enough to defend genocide for countries they have on their team are not to be trusted with much anything else either. Users are cultists that politicise, brigade and harass and community mods on lemmy.ml adopt old school Soviet style silencing of thoughts and discussion other than the state approved.

Before you are making assumptions, I’m a leftie and have been for longer than most of the users there have been alive, but I’m not an authoritarian communist so apparently my thoughts are dangerous for the believers to hear.

Wherever you have your account you can block other instances and everything from selected domain names. My Fediverse experience is so much better after consequently filtering out everything lemmy.ml on every account and instance I’m on and I’d recommend it for everybody.

And build a submarine of them.
