I've contradictory feelings about that. On the one hand it's great to see some promotion of what I consider a great tech. On the other hand, if this does boost sales and raises prices I also doubt it will help the slightest new actual young users get their hands on affordable models...

Fashion and trends are such a pain. I would love to see more people actually write using a typewriter, and spend a lot more of their time away from their too many screens, but I'm a lot less excited having fashion-victims artificially raise prices of used typewriters so they can put a vintage piece of low-tech on display in their Instagram feed, or whatever. That's just silly.

Can't agree more :)

So it’s more “discover as you go” if I understand correctly, and peertube is just where videos happen to be hosted but discovery generally happens outside of it.

for me, yep.

Can’t say I like it much. Maybe if they did some actual moderation instead of letting it be flooded with, as you say, questionable content.

Like with peertube, human-curated recs may do a difference.

Nobody is perfect and trust can be earned (back).

Show her you learned both what trust means and how valuable forgiving is. And not just when it's something you need to be forgiven for.

Like others have mentioned: making it a habit to talk about everything is key. 'Talk' meaning to openly discuss or dialog about any issue, aka say what you think needs to be said and listen to what your spouse thinks needs to be said too, not blaming the other or venting (venting is good too, at other times). You both need to do that in order to solve any issue before it can grow into anything more serious.

Not at all coming form someone that cheated on his spouse, that is in a 25+years and counting relationship that is still growing stronger.

none. We watch discs.

my spouse being the person she is.

We've been together for 25+ years and counting but almost everyday single day she manages to impress me even more.

Exactly. Algorithm are trained to keep up unsatisfied, they're literal drug dealers.

How exactly does one go on peertube?

For me, it's by word-of-mouth. You stumble upon someone mentioning a video you might be interested in. A bit like the web used to work prior to its corporate take-over (and its ensuing enshitification), aka thx to careful curating made by actual people that want to share quality/useful info. So, a good starting point would be to start reading blogs focusing on whatever you may be interested in (not IA written or SEO-optimized crap, obviously) or to chat with actual people on forums related to that same interests of yours.

There’s probably a lot of instances and it seems kind of overwhelming to “choose an instance I like”.

One doesn't go on peertube like one go on YT. There are many instances and that's one of the quality compared to YT, imho. It's not owned by a single corporation, the price being that's is messier and less centralized (ease of use is the main Trojan horse used by corporations to make their 'service' so popular and, very quickly after that, a must have/use). With peertube almost anyone can (dedicate resources to) create a peertube instance. Like on Mastodon, or here on Lemmy. So, no one can force you to use 'their' instance (or can prevent you from watching whatever content they decided to not stream, and can't force you to watch some other content either).

If you want something more centralized (but filled with questionable content) you may want to consider odysee.com. Also, keep in mind there is no alternative to YT: it's unbelievably huge, you wont be able to find a 1-1 equivalency content-wise anywhere else. I think I explained in other thread that I severely reduced the amount of 'creators' I watch and not just on YT, in general.

Not that I know, but you can buy a thermal camera (or just a BT enabled thermal printer that will work with your phone for cheap (20$ or less, and rolls of thermal papers can be found for cheap too almost anywhere. So it wouldn't cost much to give it a try.

Some kids are even sold with... markers to color the (crappy) B&W prints; not kidding. It's kinda cool and children/teens love it as well as silly adults like me ;) It's real cool to be able to share an instant print that cost peanuts, even if it's a crappy one

Safely? Do you have a backup of the files in that C drive? I f not, do a backup be fore you do anything else as there is always a risk (of losing all your files) when resizing a partition. Sorry that I cannot help more.

I don’t take recommendations from machine learning models

I made up my mind sometimes ago but I do really think if a lot/enough of us were to stop using that nasty thing, corporations would be forced to reconsider the way they interact with us.

This probably sounds quaint, but i have returned to paper for my news/arts/culture stuff.

Not to me. I draft all my texts longhand, sketch and paint the same, and now over a year ago I quit reading ebooks because of privacy concerns, going back to print, including mags and newspapers... And my agenda is paper too.

Now, I am an atheist and very open about it (without, i hope, being a dick). But i found a church that is compatible with my beliefs and they do some nice community outreach

I'm one too but had an almost two hours long discussion yesterday afternoon with a catholic priest I went to ask questions about some passages I was reading in the New Testament. I was impressed by how available the guy was, and how open to discussion knowing I wasn't a believer, and by how close our view points were on so many things (beside the God/Salvation part, obviously) and we both happily agreed on meeting again to discuss further.

I'm not surprised by what you're saying about feeling connected. It's something that could very easily happen to me with that priest and his little congregation. I offered to help him in my field of exper... in those things I'm not completely incompetent, and will renew my offer next time we meet. Then, I'll see if he sees any use in it or not. Meanwhile, he gave a me a couple books from the church's library for me to read.

Je ne suis pas sûr que grand monde aille jusqu’à qualifier les ports USB-c d’“écologiques”…

Pourtant, on les vdens comem ça. Comme on vend des voitures électriques 'écologiques'. Et s'ils continuent à les vendre de cette façon, je me dis que ça doit plaire aux acheteurs.
