I’ll never forget buying my first MacBook in '07 and asking the guy how much it would cost to bump the RAM from 1Gb to 2Gb. He told me in no uncertain terms that I’d be better off looking online for a cheaper price.
Well, in the intervening years they certainly have closed that loophole.
I use Voyager to access Lemmy, which is heavily based on Apollo for Reddit. And one of the very best things they kept in Voyager is the “New Account Highlightenator”, which adds a baby emoji next to a username, with how many days the account has been active. This disappears after a month (I think it is), but it’s really, really handy for quickly highlighting whether it’s worth paying attention to the shitty opinions being spouted.
Chances are, if it’s a bot or a troll, they’ll be using a new account. If I see shitty opinion + baby emoji, I’ll block and move on.
Other than that, I personally don’t really give a shit how long someone’s been on here. This is my third account on a third server since I first discovered Lemmy a couple of years ago, and I’ve only had this one for a couple of months.
When cucumbers are so cheap, and re-usable.

It’s mad that I have to search for how to turn my iPad off every bloody time.
I had an HTC Wizard that ran on Windows Phone 5.0. It really was a piece of shit, but I loved the slide out keyboard and the fact that I could stream internet radio with it (when I was on wifi).
But I remember having to explain to someone that no, just because it ran ‘Windows’ it couldn’t run Limewire. That said, it’s entirely possible that someone wrote a version of Limewire that it could run.
Holy shit! TIL.
I’ve recently gone through a pile of ‘dead’ ThinkPads T410 at work, cleaning them up, harvesting usable parts and installing Kubuntu on them so people on the shop floor who just need access to online forms can use them.
I’ve been genuinely surprised at the utility they can still offer, despite being fairly low spec dual core i5 machines from 2010. Sure, no one’s gaming on them, but that’s not the point. They’re still useful.
As a relatively new Linux user, I picked KDE Neon for my work PC as I figured it made sense to have direct access to up-to-date KDE software. So I’m kind of disconcerted at reading that Neon is considered by KDE to be at the end of its road.
Given that I just did a regular installation, without putting Home on a separate partition or anything like that, what’s the most efficient way of backing everything up and moving across to a distro that’s more actively maintained?
Mintedlambchopius it is then.
That sounds horrifying.
Buzzfeed saw the popularity of Clickhole and didn’t get the joke.
Yeah, I ended up dropping 4Gb in that one. For some reason it could only see 3Gb, but it made it immensely more useful. It got me through a radio production degree and only got replaced because I happened to find myself in a position to be able to afford a 13" Pro a few years later. In fact, it’s still in a box somewhere.
