A) to go and earn any money
B) I actually pollute less in the place that I moved to since I don't have to drive a car

I don't think you understand - I can live poor and destitute without a job in my hometown, or leave to find work somewhere else. This is the reality of many Americans in rural America.

This isn't a quest for "wealth", it's a quest for life

sometimes people don't want to live in the middle of nowhere forever. not many engineering jobs there. we all want economic mobility too

Beehaw is an excellent instance, and the admins who run it are very nice and easy to work with.

It's true that the moderation tools on Lemmy are quite limited, and I frankly don't blame them for defederating with anything one bit

Your submission, "Is there any solution available for controlling the volume without pressing the physical volume buttons ?" was removed for Rule 2: post these in !askandroid.

Currently tracking this issue. I restarted the pictrs server for now which might fix the issue. Our pictrs is backed by S3 object storage which is effectively infinite. Additionally the pictrs database definitely has not run out of room, the root vol is only 822MB/3GB.

I'll look into this more this evening after work if it is still not resolved!

I actually run the infrastructure. Our pictrs is backed by S3 object storage so it should not be possible to run out of space. I'll have a look this evening

I've played 2077 and RDR2 on my PC (running arch Linux) with no problems. couple hundred hours between them. tbh I couldn't compare to windows, since I just haven't used windows in ~7 years

wtf is that bullshit. interning is basically required experience in some fields (engineering especially). companies will usually pay for your housing and food even

really rough to use honestly. I'd rather use non-FOSS (on shape) while I wait for this to hit the "blender inflection point" and actually get good.

Hey maybe I've ridden on your bus before! Honestly, we need more protected bus only lanes, like not share with HOV at all. This would be a big boon especially on the 520 bridge. I think that + traffic light priority would be a big step forward. fuck cars

hol up what kind of intern can afford to buy a Model 3?

cole , 1 month ago to Android in Android 15 could make it easier to use your phone in landscape mode

I'd say PopOS, EndeavourOS (or just Arch), or just Fedora Linux 40 (might need to check a box to enable proprietary drivers on install for Nvidia to work right).

Nothing will run MS365 though, that's just not on Linux (and Wine doesn't work very well for modern versions). Best you can do is a Windows virtual machine if you need the actual applications and not the cloud version.
