I'm guessing most of the Beehaws at least have duplicates since they cut themselves off.

[-] Knoll0114@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Yeah I assume the reason there isn't is because the general ones are US-centric by default and then everyone else has to have somewhere specific to go. But I guess if they want their own dedicated place too why not?

We're paying them to produce this pollution.

What books/comics/mangas etc. Did you read in June?

It's hard to turn more conservative without actually owning a stake in anything as our parents did.

That's gotta be the most insane anthropogenic impact I've ever heard.

Britons’ trust in politics has fallen significantly since Covid, report finds.

Can't say I'm shocked.

Do you think prizes dedicated to certain groups remain useful? Is this prize something you'll be paying attention to or is your TBR pile already full?

I'm pretty sure it just doesn't suit New Zealand right now to call him a dictator, especially with a visit coming up in a week. Australia and New Zealand have to occupy a precarious position because they are European/Western in nature but obviously closest to the Asian powers. Therefore they have to try and be besties with the US whilst staying ok with China.

The WoK was a 5 star read for me, WoR a 3 star and now I'm struggling to get properly into Oathbringer. I think I'm on chapter 10. Anyone else have this problem? Does it get more interesting or am I just not a Sanderson person?

Sometimes a post will say on Jerboa that there is one comment but on the post none is visible. Is this a problem with Jerboa? Is it because the commenter may not be federated with my instance? Or is it a problem with Lemmy?

I just finished L'Âge des low-tech by Philippe Bihouix and am currently reading The Harlem Rennaisance by Cary D. Wintz which I picked up at a hostel.

Currently in Egypt and they just asked us to pay in USD cash for an added activity but, not being American, we don't have USD. We have the local currency and the ability to get that out at ATMs, but no way to access foreign currency. So annoying but they accepted local in the end.

How would you like to see this place differ from Reddit/TikTok/YouTube etc. as a place to talk about books?

X280 Won't turn on (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Knoll0114@lemmy.world to c/thinkpad@lemmy.ml

Hi, my X280 just suddenly won't turn on. It was left on a bed alone so no physical damage. When plugged in the charging indicator is solid white after flashing white 3 times. I've tried turning it on with the battery out but plugged in. I've also tried draining the CMOS battery (unplugged CMOS and the battery and held the power button down for 10 seconds before plugging everything back in.)

I'm wondering now if it could be a problem with the power button? The laptop is dual booting Fedora 38 and Windows 11 if that helps and wasn't powered off but went into sleep/hibernation before this behaviour. Is it somehow stuck in sleep mode? I have had some issues with sleep to wake being slow/finicky before.

I have access to a screwdriver set and isopropyl alcohol. What would my next steps be?

I am confused. Am I supposed to be confused?

The community vibe is definitely a huge motivation. They want to be able to control the sort of people on their instance which they can't do if the mass user bases from lemmy.world etc. that are (relatively) neutral have access. It's a shame because they had some good communities established.

Mainly that there are really solid midrange android phones nowadays. I just can't justify the iPhone pricetag.

Help was there when you needed it, even for niche software or usecases there was more often than not someone who had already asked the question or who could help. This has been invaluable every time I've tried something new (eg. Making a static website, learning Spanish, switching to Linux.)

I've gotta get on that that sounds amazing
