Maybe the phone autocorrected it

As in, it's applying a force on the pci-e slot in the direction of the back plate? That makes sense.

On the other hand, when I turn it back upright, gravity will apply a downward force on the pci-e. :(

I will try loosening the screws so the lateral force is less but still enough to counteract gravity.

You're right the cable doesn't insert properly. :( I'm Hoping to use this machine as a headless server with a graphics card for jellyfin transcodes, and thought that it would be better to be partially secured like this than free floating, especially when I turn the computer back upright.

But if low profile to full-size adapter brackets are standardized, that seems like a better solution. It was just too funny to not take this picture.

Definitely supported the Republicans. It was a red flag to hold opinions like this:

Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot: Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation. Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote. At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up- JD Vance. By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand. Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost. Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

He's not wrong about the Democrat party choosing the establishment over the progressive wing, but the idea that he supports the Republicans as being more likely to reign in tech companies is so laughable it's not even funny, and makes you wonder why Andy Yen believes it.

What other commenters have said before though is true: aside from this incident with the CEO, Proton has been careful to stay politically neutral and on message... It damaged their public trust but didn't destroy it.

Boards of Canada set it to music very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-FI6D8ZXpc

Now that the show is over
And we have jointly exercised our constitutional rights
We would like to leave you with one very important thought

Sometime in the future, you may have the opportunity
To serve as a juror in a censorship case or a so-called obscenity case
It would be wise to remember that the same people
Who'd stop you from listening to Boards Of Canada
May be back next year to complain about a book, or even a TV program

If you could be told of what you can see or read
Then it follows that you can be told what to say or think
Defend your constitutionally protected rights
No one else will do it for you, thank you

Can someone grep Wayland and tell us what you find?

IDK how I would do that on my phone.

 

Ok hear me out.

I've never worn normal socks inside out because it's so easy to get them into the correct orientation. But I have a whole bunch of toe socks now, and the easiest way to take them off is by peeling them off, which leaves them inside out at the end.

I've been righting them and washing them, but it adds quite an annoyance as for every n socks it adds n time.

So I am wondering can I just get away with wearing them inside out half the time?

Potential downsides I've already though of:

  • It might look dumb
  • It might wear out the fuzzy side faster than normal.

Let's say those are both a price I'll willing to pay. Is there anything else I haven't thought of? Does anybody have personal experience or cultural knowledge in this regard?

Edit: this is all very good information. Thank you, I'll try it out for a few days.

 

I guess I must post something

 
 
 
 

Hmm

 

I live in an ideal part of the suburbs. I'm close to my work, school, the swimming pool, the grocery store, etc.,. In many instances, the scooter is more consistently faster than driving and finding parking.

Commute times (door to door):

       : Work   : School : Grocery : Swimming Pool            
Walk   : 40 min : 15 min : 25 min  : 15 min 
Bike   : 15-20  : 5-10   : 15 min  : 5 min 
Scooter: 10-15  : 5 min  : 10 min  : 3 min
Car    : 5-10   : 5-10   : 5-10    : 5 min

My problem is, I really need to make changes in life, like go to the swimming pool more often even in winter; get a better job which will be farther away. I think I'm putting these off because I don't want to drive.

All of these will be easier if I just embrace driving my car more. I can take groceries more easily. I can carry more swim equipment and I won't get so cold coming home from the pool. But I don't like driving because I feel like I'm a greater danger to myself and others, even though I'm a pretty careful driver.

Do any of you face similar challenges; do you just drive when it makes the most sense to drive?
