I encourage everyone to carry around an internet-connected audio-video listening device on their person at all times. Not only to have calls potentially tapped but also a microphone that can listen at any time and a non-removable battery.

When I had my phone delivered it was from a special courier, not the normal post. I had to show ID in order to accept the delivery.

I’m still open to giving the Immich licensing model a chance.

I have a feeling they are going to retroactively shorten the “lifetime” of my license.

Even if they were reading a book, a 10 year old in the cart still sounds a bit silly.

I remember being very active as a kid at the super market running “missions” to get items. One time I dropped a jar of tomato sauce on the floor and I felt so bad about it. Another time I remember college kids making fun of me for pushing the cart (to be fair it probably looked quite ridiculous). Now I look back and laugh…

Since this is real feel, I would guess high humidity.

Immich also has (local) AI for face recognition.

Most people here don't like it when other people are training on your photos.

I just quit my job on Wednesday, felt great!

I like that my colleagues are happy that I am going on holiday rather than feeling betrayed.

Also, insane how sick leave in the US needs a doctor's note immediately and is limited.

From mainstream to minority in 4 years (lemm.ee)
 

Not sure if this is allowed here and I mean no disrespect to anyone’s views. However, I am curious how this transition was experienced by folks here.

In March 2020, it was quite taboo to ignore the guidelines in many places, and laws were strictly enforced. Now, the vast majority have essentially returned to “normal life”. Basically a complete 180 in right around 4 years.

Did you see this outcome coming?

Was there a tipping point?

Did your views evolve over time? Or diverge in specific ways?

As someone in the middle of the spectrum, the trajectory the pandemic took (in terms of how serious people took guidelines) seemed somewhat unsurprising and inevitable. Personally, I picked up a couple of good habits like being stringent with hand washing and never going into the office sick (regardless of illness).

Just interested in other peoples perspective on this if you care to share :)

Simple joy from repairs? (lemm.ee)
 

Our washing machine broke last week and the first thought was to buy a replacement but I wanted to at least attempt a repair first.

The machine would still fill and empty water, but the dishes remained dry and there was a burning smell. So, I unplugged it, tipped it over and popped open the bottom cover.

Aside from the controller, the dishwasher was very simple: a drainage pump, a circulation pump, a heating element and some solenoid valves. A multimeter showed the (main suspect) circulation pump still had continuity which narrowed the search down to the pump’s starting capacitor. Seven euros and a few days later and it’s back in action!

The simple fix really gave me a sense of joy and satisfaction. It feels great to extend the use of something that I already have rather than need to consume more.

Can anyone relate? Any good repair stories?

I’m a big fan of the right to repair movement.
