For now, yes. You actually believe that will continue to be that way in 12 - 18 months?

I can tell you for certain, I measured my plug phiips (foil and 'one') and they are both 14VDC. So short answer is that the plug charger would blow up the usb trimmer you have (which is 5VDC).

The reason I know this and measured them, was because I wasnt sure the two plug chargers were the same, and I didnt want to blow up my philips one.

WTF!

At the time of this article’s publication, Star Citizen had raised $658,161,596 from more than five million accounts.

The game has not even officially been released!!

One for x86(/64), one for arm(64), one for RISC ? That doesn't seem like a valid argument.

The coroner's report said he needed a second coat.

I’m not sure what to make of it.

I think it’s holding me back.

He was a danger to himself and udders.

Those are non-stick.

She called him on the mobile asking, "Where the hell are you?"

Husband: "Darling, do you remember the jewellery shop with that diamond necklace you fell in love with, and I could not afford it but I said it'll be yours one day?"

With a smile, she blushed, "Yes I remember that, my love."

Husband: "Well, I'm in the pub next to that shop."

Back then, it was ground breaking stuff.

I think it sounds a little far fetched.

Not entirely sure why, but that flag was a big plus.

That would be a faux pa.

The man orders a few drinks for himself and the giraffe. After a couple of hours, the giraffe passes out and slumps on the ground. The mans starts to walk out.

The bartender shouts, "Hey you, you can't leave that lyin' here"

The man turns around and says "That's not a lion, its a giraffe."

A joke is a joke. No matter how much truth you throw at it.

I was working for an Australian company, that was bought by a big (F500) American company. Actually they bought over 200 companies globally to become what they were.

After the dust settled, the American corp started talking all sorts of stupid American stuff that would never fly in Australia. For example ALL Aussies have the right to 4 weeks annual leave, and 2 weeks of sick leave per year. They wanted to change that to 3 weeks and NONE! (again would never have happened, legally, but damage was being done..)

Staff started to leave.

Next thing was then global conferences at stupid times of the night/morning with staff that were not typically the type to take meetings AT ALL. (Not upper or middle management, I mean workers and supervisors) This was around 2015, way before anything we are more familiar with today.

More left (work/personal life balance)

And finally was all the stupid buzzwords and never ending general shit that we just didn't care about. "Bi-weekly" (ambiguous globally and simply should not be used. It's either fortnightly or twice a week..) Not to mention the plethora of other buzzword shit like "holistically engaging in resource-maximising virtualisation" and bluesky or "data-only sales" (we made manufacturing equipment ffs!!)

Middle management started to walk, it was becoming a rolling stone covered in moss.

Then when there was a bit of a market shift and the economy went down (and therefore the American company took an EBITA hit, they laid off 20% of the staff). This led to further insecurity in the company and about 30% of the rest of the workers said fuck it and left. What do you expect when they are assembly/production or electricians etc who can get more stability from working out of a van and a mobile phone.

They managed kill themselves and even drop out of the F500 list!

Generally I like it. It has a lot going for it. So for some constructive (uninformed probably, I only signed up today, but I have been lurking for about a month) criticism:

I don't really like how there can be 10 "Official Linux" subs, because 10 self-hosted servers can create it locally. But Okay, I can deal with it, searching for subs I can see where everyone has mostly subscribed to for a particular topic.

Which leads me to, Although its distributed, it should be distributed with common "global subs" which sit on all instances of self-hosted. This would allow me to see that "/g/Official Linux" is the main one (others might exist and that is fine but they are local self-hosted and accessible globally but might be more niche). This would eliminate some small popup Lemmy's self-hosted since they would need a reasonable amount of storage. But I'm not sure this is good or bad, if you want to self-host and not participate in sharing/storing that data, then fine but your local subs are not replicated to the distributed network. I don't know in my own mind if this is all good or bad, but something like this should be explored.

Currently, it appears to me in my limited usage, some sub on some self-hosted (lemmy.cheapdomain.for.fun) could blow up and that self-hoster cannot afford to maintain it, and shuts down. Boom, sub gone? (see previous, note I have not explored self-hosting a Lemmy server yet).

Server blocking/banning: This one concerns me, since its hardest to manage and deal with. Firstly, IMO you are going to get bad actors setting up bad servers with 'nazi love' subs or worse, and they should be filtered from the main distributed service. However currently this is in a terrible state of affairs and needs to be addressed, since free speech is what its about. People may disagree with things and even reddit had dubious subs. But you could choose to ignore it and not subscribe. There needs to be a way to inform users of a selfhosted site, and *why" the decision to block it was. So not just a federated list of "blocked" but with clear reasoning as to why it was blocked by lemmy.world or lemmy.me . Users could then at least identify a site that is blocked and if the reasoning for the block is against their belief they can at least go and check it out for themselves.

While being distributed, perhaps there can still be a self managed tagging system for subs and guidelines for how to tag your local sub, for global acceptance. You dont have to tag as the system says, but not doing so may prevent you from being shared across the federated net.

Everything else is great. Most of the reddit communities I had anything to do with exist here, albeit smaller. The Jerboa app is great (and another that I tried which I forget the name of off the top of my head).

I even like that the fanboys of Apple, Raspberry Pi, Docker etc are here to downvote the crap out of anything remotely negatively said, against their favourite thing... (That one might be a bit facetious, but that is what freedom of expression is).

I started using Bitwarden a few years ago, and I will never turn back. Passwords available across all my devices (android app, chrome extensions etc). You can also sign up with them (they have free which is pretty limited and a paid version) or you can selfhost.

I run it selfhosted, so I don't pay and don't have any limitations.

They have received a huge influx of users recently from ~~1password~~ Lastpass after that breach.
