I got my first "home computer" in the days of the BBS's when there was such a thing as a "long distance call". Internet access was crazy expensive and not for the average geek. Back then it was a bit "underground". There were professionals and there were passionate hobbyists. Most people didn't have or need a computer in their lives. Things changed in the late 90's boom. A cultural shift when suddenly everyone joined in. The geeks were no longer king

My first experiences with computers started when I was in Junior High around '79. It was a total nerd hobby, almost "underground ". Now I see it for what it is. Gadgets become necessities and we become enslaved to them. We have to stop chasing our tails

Can I assemble a metal building by myself? in c/diy@slrpnk.net
[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Yes. Hopefully everything is cut to size. Cutting metal siding and roofing sucks if you don't have the right tools. Rent them if you need. Best to build this on a concrete slab. The ground will be too uneven, throwing everything off plumb

Cuba Kills 4 Exiles Trying to “Infiltrate” Island by Boat as U.S. “Medieval Siege” of Cuba Continues (www.democracynow.org)

This story seems to be getting little attention. I'm getting Watergate/Bay of Pigs vibes. Trump Whitehouse is uncharacteristically quiet about it

Cuban exiles on a U.S.-registered speedboat attempted to enter Cuba undetected, but were confronted by border patrol in Cuban waters on Wednesday. According to the Cuban Interior Ministry, the Cuban nationals on the speedboat fired on the border agents who then returned fire — killing four and injuring six of the men. This comes as the Trump administration’s blockade of fuel has triggered a severe humanitarian and economic crisis in Cuba, compounding the impact of the U.S. economic embargo in place since 1962. In response to the growing humanitarian crisis, activists are organizing a flotilla to deliver aid to the island. “We cannot allow us to go back to the days of gunboat diplomacy, where the U.S. thinks that it is allowed to violate sovereign nations, and it can have hegemony over the hemisphere,” says CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin, who is taking part in the flotilla. “These are sovereign countries. We must leave them alone.”

I replaced the aerator in my kitchen sink faucet and now the flow of the sprayer is restricted? (lemmy.world)
 

The new aerator is 1.5gal/minute. I have no idea what the old one was. When I remove it, flow at the sprayer is much greater. I don't understand how the aerator restricts flow to the sprayer. Is there any way to improve this? 1.5gal was the highest they had at the hardware store
