Yeah, I drove a (pretty short) burn-and-turn route, and a 500 mile range may have juuuuussst made it. AND if you read the article, that 500 miles battery is a special option. The standard is 325, which is just completely worthless

I mean, if you search "CachyOS" on wikipedia, it redirects to Arch. So now were saying distros based on another distro are completely different distros? Oy vey... It's going to become like techno where if you take a drum and bass song and add or subtract a hi-hat hit, it's suddenly this completely other genre of techno that's has nothing to do with the genre it's derived from.

The first one? In 2011. I think he got his third (and final) 2011 pizza box in like 2016-17. Just a terrible design with cheap parts. But it's a 'budget' model, right?? What do you expect? (Except you could get a lenovo with a smaller form, more ports, similar--if not better--specs since apple ran the same specs for 10 years, for $200 less. I got one in 2016 or so, fits in my back pocket and still runs. The power brick shit the bed in '21 or so, but I got a new one for $30)

I worked for a guy who was firmly a 'mac person'. He bought a 2011 'pizza-box' mini, and in three years the power supply died. Normally not a big deal, except the power supply was soldered to the motherboard and the whole thing needed to be thrown out. He bought exactly the same mini at exactly the same price three years later. This one lasted two years before the power supply fried, and again, it was donated to the dumpster. He then bought exactly the same mini at exactly the same price now five years later (after two had failed in the dumbest manner possible). I got another job, but an inside source told me that one made it a little over three years before... well, you know. Thankfully, Apple had finally introduced a new mini by this point, saving him from buying the same model at the same price a fourth time. Unsurprisingly, the new model has it's power supply soldered to the motherboard...

The moral I learned? 'Mac people' don't give a shit and apple knows it

...existence consists of "get as much attention/validation as possible at all times", modern philosophers are forced to bark up some pretty weird trees in order to make their nut.

I'll chalk this up as one of them.

While there are very definite law about cars riding down the sidewalk and striking pedestrians, unfortunately, not so much for e-bikes.
As a pedestrians who worked on a college campus last year, I feel secure in declaring: FUCK E-BIKES

The gig was about 9-10 weeks long, which puts me at an average of being struck once per week. Ranging from torn-clothing scrapes, to full-on linebacker hits onto concrete.
Furthermore, I was privy to the scene when the students left for summer. Dead e-bikes ditched in the middle of the sidewalk everywhere. In the middle of crosswalks! Who cares? If they want one for the fall, they'll just throw $300 more on mom and pop's credit card.

So much better for the environment than public transpo...

Yeah, I've never bought into the "uh... I'm way to old to be doing anything like that" when they're 42. I'm ten years older than that and still cook part-time on the weekends (and if all else fails, I'll move to full-time). I do 200 covers a shift minimum, and can keep pace with dudes half my age without a problem.

You're supposed to be highly-skilled, college-educated, big-brained, white-collar people. Are you telling me the concept of working smart rather than hard is beyond your grasp?

While Steam Decks keep selling, the number will keep increasing. Just saying.

Bored out of their skulls. "Maybe I'll try to run that linux thing on dad's old laptop and see if I can play CoD on it"

There's been an uptick every December for the past few years, and usually sinks again in January.

Last I heard, the official word on seamoney for pi was "just use firefox/thunderbird". RE: internet outages, while I can't speak towards the current Thunderbird, if there's one thing that's very nice about seamonkey, when I do want to move my mail/filters/etc between machines, it's a matter of copying a folder from a thumb drive, and that's it. No cloud syncing or other nonsense (my internet was out for over a week last spring and it would have been a NIGHTMARE if I relied on cloud/web)

You may want to give a look at Vivaldi. It's attempting to be a seamonkey for cromium, and it's email search is very fast/good. That said, it's devs seem to want you to use it instead of folders (it wouldn't be a stretch to call the devs 'anti-folder'), so thus, folder options are pretty limited. It's by the same people who made the old opera email client, If that gives you any idea how it operates.

I leave everything on the server except for my home machine w/seamonkey which then filters/organizes. Since gmail (and others) saves everything that's gone through the smtp, all sent email is reeled in to my home machine/filed appropriately too. I don't really need to carry every email I ever received/sent around with me. Usually a "I'll look that up when I get home", suffices. Occasionally I'll copy the seamonkey db to my laptop when I have to go out of town for extended periods.

Yeah, that's just what I use on my phone (and it's pretty good. Better than Thunderbird anyway).
For desktop I've used SeaMonkey for like the past 20 years (on mac, pc, and linux, with all versions being identical. Small, runs on anything, has everything Thunderbird has because it is Thunderbird just with the original UI)

It's not. I switched to FairEmail a few years ago and have been pretty happy

All of my folders are on my computer, where they're organized nice and tidy.

I have no idea how they're organized on gmail since I haven't looked at the web interface in at least five years. I don't need to, as that's kind of what an email client is for. I grew out of hotmail when I stopped checking my email at the public library. Just saying

"bro, who uses pop3 anymore? Are you still on a 56k modem too? LOL crying laughing emoji x8" comments. I still use pop3 (and don't use 56k anymore).

I work many temp/freelance gigs. When entering a new one I'll be at for 2 weeks, I can sit down at my assigned workstation and...

a:| enter my pop3 info into an email client and pull in new emails.
b:| enter my imap info into an email client and pull in 200,000 emails going back 15 years (and three new ones)
c:| use the browser interface which everyone on the planet hates (and gets worse about every six months or so)

which seems like the best idea?
