I was thinking of various movies that constantly run on TV, but your comment made me realize that Cars or Polar Express is probably the correct answer. My son was obsessed with those movies when he was young and we had them on constant rotation.

I’ve had an Odroid running for many years, just as a Linux server to play with and automate some stuff on my home LAN. I was looking to upgrade to something with more RAM and found that the SBCs with more RAM get expensive pretty quick. Plus, there is the limitation of depending on a custom Linux build from the manufacturer that runs on the device. So I ended up buying a mini PC for not much more than an SBC with lots of RAM. There’s this one, as an example for $150

I ended going higher in price with this one https://www.amazon.com/Beelink-U59-Processor-Desktop-Computers/dp/B0B74GGMBG/

But for just playing with Linux, these are much more useful because you can run any normal Linux distro.

If you are a Grateful Dead fan, there are five days that are the least interesting: https://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/01-09-1965/

Jan 1, Jan 19, Feb 29, Aug 9 and Dec 25.

Those are the only days of the year that they never played a concert.

It’s from a comedian but I can’t remember who. Maybe Dennis Miller?

On this topic, I’m really surprised that Apple made Airtags with batteries that can be changed by the user. I’m even more surprised they used the most common coin cell as the battery

I like the silly related quote:

Build a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.

“Don’t sweat the petty things, and don’t pet the sweaty things.”

I’m not sure if that link is supposed to take a user somewhere, but clicking the bot’s link from within Connect doesn’t work. The leading “!” Is not highlighted in blue, so that’s probably why it doesn’t work.

The link in the parent comment does work within Connect and takes me to that community.

Unfortunately his net worth has really jumped up since acquiring Twitter. He briefly went to #2 in the world, but has rebounded back to about $250B, which is where he was.

Musk even encouraged people he fired to work for a competitor in a post he made in November. I don’t have a link to it, but he was mocking their abilities and said that if their skills are so good, they will be welcome at another company.

Edit: found it

It was buggy and the “Subscribed” feeds weren’t showing anything. I just deleted and reinstalled and it’s working well now.

I like that it shows the full community/instance name with each post. That lets me see where the content is coming from. It seems hidden on another apps I’ve tried.

Following up on this, I’m hoping that some journalism organization sets up a “default” instance for verified journists to post from. It was nice having verified Twitter instances for this purpose.

I don’t think that is necessarily relevant. Romania didn’t seem to be in a hurry to arrest him until she made the post. I think the more relevant thing she did was to embarrass Romania into action.

It reminds me of the occasional times where a corporate email would be sent out improperly to “all” in our company. A few people would reply all: “take me off this list”. Then someone would reply all to those guys: “don’t reply all”. Then other people would reply all:“you are spamming the whole company!”, etc.

It would take an hour or so to die off, but It was kind of amusing to see people react to the chaos. I assume the bitching about Reddit will die off naturally.

You can use them if you aren’t logged into your account. I still try BaconReader every once in awhile, just to see my old friend. Even the NSFW links worked just now.

That’s the app I used exclusively. Have you found a Lemmy app that is similar? I’ve tried Jerboa, Connect and Liftoff, but I’m still looking for something comparable to BaconReader.
