I thought this was funny. My SO pointed out this is a real term for couches that don’t have a structural frame.

And then I remember that it was in fact my own PR.
Speeds weren’t too bad for me, but setting it up was a pain. Even when AIO came out, I spent hours trying to get it right. After several years and tearing it down and rebuilding now and again because something would get messed up, and realizing it was nearly impossible to get it to work with Tailscale instead of a reverse proxy, I decided it was time to throw in the towel. Nextcloud parades itself as a product anyone can use, but in practice it feels like it was meant for enterprise users.

Technology@lemmy.world•How I Reversed Amazon's Kindle Web Obfuscation Because Their App SuckedEnglish

The world should not have crime. And in such a world, guns would not be needed (excluding for sport).
To play devil’s advocate and get the conversation going (please don’t down vote), the idea is primarily coming from US citizens whose constitutional amendment states that the right of citizens to keep and bear arms should not be infringed. The idea behind it is self preservation (the right to live and defend yourself) and fight against government tyranny. Which, given the origin of the US, that last one is of valid concern. It’s not about the love of guns (though many do), but upholding that amendment.
The oppositional approach as I understand is if guns are illegal, there will be no mass shootings.
I don’t have an answer. I don’t have any guns, and I hate hearing about shootings. So here’s some questions to consider:
- Will laws banning firearms work against criminals? If not, who now has all the guns?
- How would we handle cases of tyranny where the government controls all militia?
- Those who intend to kill, assuming that can’t illegally obtain a gun, will they still kill? (Homemade explosives, mass stabbings, probably more) If killing people is already illegal, then how will making guns illegal make things any different long-term?
- Given the high percentage of shootings being gang on gang violence, which is illegal by the way, will new laws help?
- Statistics is complicated. Cars kill way more people, do we outlaw them? Knives kill people, do we outlaw those too? How do we measure statistically what laws will work and what won’t?
- How do you outlaw and then remove 400,000,000 guns in the US?
It’s complicated, genuinely. But people argue about it so vehemently that no ground is ever gained in the conversation. I think both sides are in favor of not killing people, but want to go about it in different ways.

271·3 months agoIf a show requires a laugh track to tell its viewers when to laugh, then it lacks substance enough to cause it without.
I want to see a graph where X ranges from “ambitious” to “I’m so tired”, and Mint is at the end. That’s where I’m at.

I had a septoplasty a couple of years ago. My nose has kind of closed up again since then, but it’s still 20% better than it was so I’ll take what I can get. But… I fantasize about how it felt when I first got the splints out.

Yeah that’s true. Never said anything about being happy. Or it being sustainable. Sometimes it’s all you can do to survive.
On the bright side being indispensable makes me impervious to layoffs.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple CEO Tim Cook gives 24-karat gold gift to Donald TrumpEnglish
633·4 months agoThis is my own conjecture, but I’m willing to bet that playing nicely with Pres. Trump somehow saves Apple billions more in lost revenue to tariffs and legislation because Trump rewards those who are on his good side. I’m also willing to bet Tim / Apple is pressured to do this and has a very different attitude behind closed doors. Not that this excuses anybody for their actions, but it’s clear they’re trying to game the system the best they can in the name of “business”.
