One of the cleanest and best kept cities I've been to. I was surprised, that's for sure. I was expecting this grungy hole, but no, she's a very well kept place.

Nice to see some facts on this. I think it's a fair workaround. We were in Europe recently and my wife had to cover her shoulders with a scarf in the churches. You know, so that God wouldn't be aroused by her bare naked shoulder.

All (jokes) aside, high speed rides and some modesty clothing is simply going to allow more riders and increase profit. Its all about profit.

That there. That's the sign of an upcoming dictatorship. You can all see that yes?

For me it's webrings. And, they're back. I'm in a hurry so fame l can't research for you, but, they exist.

I'm happy with how it is now. There's still a bunch of power mad mods here, but, by and large, it's so much better than that cesspit.

The problem is that businesses are now going to lift their prices and they are going to lift at more than the small percentage that the credit card companies were charging and that they were passing on.

I work in software and we've been dealing with this with our customers for months leading up to it and in our tests not one of them was rising the prices the same amount as their credit card surcharge.

Watching, you will see a credit card surcharge of say 1.2%, but in the end they are rising their prices 2.5 to 3%.

They round up when they rise their price and they don't just round up in cents, they round up in dollars.

So, unfortunately, Albanese did not just save the country billions. He just raised inflation considerably. Watch your mortgage go up and watch the rents rise.

Very nicely done.

Love the way you've made the specular highlights by grouping the textures/lines.

The ambient occlusion around the bass is just excellent.

Yup. I get you. That's part of why I got this phone. For when the full lock down comes. I'll have a device that lets me move to Linux

Thanks for that. I'm not exactly sure what extra it gives. Is there anything about it that makes you recommend it?

I just purchased one. Swipe typing on it now. I'm seriously impressed.

It's far from perfect, but, she's a great phone.

My family and friends are loving the replaceable usb ports, battery, camera etc..

As am I.

Live in the UK for a few years. They are vicious and hilarious. Some cultures can't take them, but it's deep in their culture.

Not Australia. I can assure you

 
 
 
 

Hi all,

I want to start a photo community.

I'm trying to figure out the best place..

Mastadon?

Lemmy?

This will be a lot of (hopefully) high quality images. What is the best place for this?

What about pixelfed?

I'm a bit stumped!

 

Hi all, about to install latest LMDE with Cinnamon. I like my taskbar / dock on the left, to make better use of real estate.

Mint doesn't have that option to move it to the left.

Can I ask if anyone has done this, in a good, usable way?

Thanks for your help.

Hi all,

I want to upskill my aunty. She has below average skills, and does things like send a screenshot, when I want the copy paste of the text string (not an image).

She stores files and folders in the wrong place.

Writes notes on paper, rather than copy / paste.

She wrangles spreadsheets in a very tedious manner. Rather than running formulas, or selecting and dragging a series etc.

Are there any online courses, even if paid, that are QUALITY, that can take someone up a level to be a bit more savvy?

She has an admin job, and fears for her work. So, I want to help her.

Yes, her work has said they'll pay if she finds something appropriate, but I said I'd look to help.

Any help would be great! Thank you

 

As per the title I am traveling full-time in my van at the moment and used to make sourdough but I'm trying to figure out the best way that I would go about it in a baby q.

I also don't want to use a heavy Dutch oven as I have weight restrictions with how much I can carry.

Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Hi all,

I've got some more personal questions to ask, so, to avoid doxing, want another, second account. This account is pretty easy to piece together who i am. I can't have that with my planned community questions.

However, it's taken years to create my block lists.

Can they be exported and imported into another account?

 

Hi all,

I had this laptop (Lenovo Carbon X1 Gen 6), and when it had Debian, it would just go flat on sleep, and even when powered off. So strange. I checked all BIOS settings etc, but could never figure it out.

I moved it to Fedora, and it was perfect. Battery life was boosted like crazy, acted as it was meant to.

However, I have tomove away from Fedora, due to them dropping X11 (it's an accessibility issue I'm facing with my tools) and I forgot about said issue with Debian.

Back on Debian now, woke up, powered on laptop, which was fully charged last night, and it's flat again.

What is it, that Debian is doing differently, that is making it go flat, when powered off?

Please note, I am doing a proper shutdown. Not just closing lid, sleep, hybernate, etc.

Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

UPDATE: I booted into a fedora live disk, and shutdown. This time the battery did not go flat at all when shutdown, indicating that it is absolutely debian related, not BIOS or anything else.

 

All you need is some Jo Sonja acrylics. Cheap. High quality. Work perfectly.

Get base colours. Mix your own, and make some beautiful colours that nobody else has.

Save money. Win.

The industry doesn't want you to know you can just mix your colours, just like every other artist out there does.
