Omg I forgot Corel Linux ! I installed it 25 years ago, wow!

my 5680 has absolutely nothing. Checking online I found that the right one is a usb-c 3.2 and the 2 left ones are TB4. IIRC they all support DisplayPort and all support being used as the power input (165W charger), not sure for PD and fast charging a cell/tablet…

True, my latest Dell laptop has 3 “usb-c shaped ports”, there is 0 symbol anywhere close to them or the underside cover, you’re on your own as to what it supports, you have to find the doc online somewhere I guess.

Yes, I’m using QEMU though, no VMware or VirtualBox .

MX Linux (debian based) works perfectly on a usb drive

Well, less and less people post stuff like their vacation pic or food pic etc. Then more and more companies pay to be in your feed, so now your feed is only non-sense stuff like yours, or mine, it does not make sense, I often see posts from stuff not in my country or sometimes not in my language.

I only use FB for Marketplace (really big here), and for some FB hobby groups that replace good old forums. I never publish anything, and only one of my friend still post pictures of their journey, that’s it.

In Canada it is way worst, because every sources deemed news media cannot post/share articles, imagine in the USA if your feed had no news like cnn, abc, nbc, cbs, npr, nyt, etc. but in your feed you see all the alternatives news (read: far-right, conspiracy, pro-russian, pro-musk, anti-ev, etc).

This is our reality in Canada, our facebook feed looks like twitter, full of hate and fake news. I always block them, but there are certainly thousands and thousands of bots posting those kind of thing.

FB is dead.

The pic, can be everywhere in USA, everywhere.

Canada is in America too! In Toronto for instance the average car speed is 12MPH… Always jammed, everywhere. People taking 1h30-2h the morning, and same the evening, to commute 20-25 miles.

I’m in Montreal, it’s about 18mph here. It would take me ~1h+ to do my 20miles.

I WFH.

Yup, the green dot top right

Wtf? My company just gave me a Dell laptop, i7 13800H, 32GB ram, 1tb nvme, etc

Fucking Caml, hate this language 👺

Yeah about the same, I visited /., anadtech, tom’s, betanews, etc about daily maybe 20 years ago, but I haven’t been to those in a decade for sure, except slashdot I still go there

Pretty cool!

I understand you prefer f-droid, I’m also an old FOSS user, but I used Sync for reddit for like 13 years and bought the “no ads” version of Sync for lemmy in the first hour it came out too… I only used Jerboa in the beginning for a couple of months.

Something like 1% of internet traffic is by satellite…

Debloat your phone with UAD maybe, no root require, you can simply disable an app instead of really uninstall it, it’s safer

Those old centronics cables on the other hand, maybe it’s time for them to go.

Yep, I bought a Centronics cable maybe 30 years ago for $100, for a parallel printer. I kept the printer maybe 10 years, then moved to a laser/ethernet at the time. But I kept this damn cable 20 years more in case of!!! It’s now in a thrift store bin for $1 I guess.

wrap them and tuck them in an empty roll of toilet paper, it is also a good trick

As an old coot I had boxes of various cable, I gave most of them to local thrift stores. But I kept one of each, in case of, (black, white, short, long) AC power cable, a VGA, RCA, DVI, TOS, serial, S-VHS, etc

IN CASE OF!!! until next round :)

You can meet all of them at the local Golden Corral, Sunday at noon.
