I guess I’m chaotic neutral. I’ve never had enough money to buy two of the same monitor. All of my stuff is stuff I got either for free from school or for extremely cheap.

Every thinkpad released in the last 5 years has had screens with 100% adobe rgb color accuracy. They’re almost all at least brighter than 300 nits. Some brighter than 400. They’re objectively incredible screens. 1366x768 hasn’t been the standard in a long time. 1440p has been an option for a long time too. As far back as the t460 or the first gen x1 carbon like 10 years ago. The last ThinkPad I can see where 1366x768 was even an option was the t490 in 2017. After that they moved onto 16:10 screens and made 1920x1200 the minimum. Hell even 1800p OLED screens have been available in some models for 7 years. The t570 and p50 both have 4k screens and they’ve been available for about 7 years as well.

Lenovo keeps doing this. I’m still upset we didn’t get the y700.

It is when a free alternative which offers more features and is easier to set up exists.

I mean this post has 1200 upvotes. Considering most people don’t engage with the voting system that makes me think that there’s a decent amount of people here. At the very least it means there’s a lot of people here who engage with the community. More come every day. If this post were on Reddit, it would be on r/all right now. That’s not bad for a community with a fraction of the users.

I think that in 10 years this place will be doing alright. I think the growth that’s happened in the last few months won’t last, but I think that growth will still steadily happen. The reddexodus doesn’t happen every day but with most social media platforms shitting their geriatric pants more and more lately, I think a consistent flow of refugees will come here.

this is about 500 yards from my house. Fortunately a lot of it has receded but the road is destroyed. What isn’t covered in inches of mud, is just gone. Idk how I’m supposed to get into town. All of the roads leading into any of the towns near me are closed.

The sun is now out and there genuinely isn’t a single cloud in the sky for as far as I can see. The ground around my house doesn’t even look wet anymore, though the lawn is completely saturated still.

My brother found a dead fish in the parking lot where he works which isn’t anywhere near a source of water. That’s how bad the flooding is in some places. I’m up near Newport and we don’t even have it anywhere near as bad as Barre or Johnson.

If you have PayPal you could try linking the virtual card to that. I’ve had luck with that before. I foolishly chose a digital prepaid card as a refund once and PayPal was the only ones who would take it. I just loaded the money into my PayPal account and then used it on an eBay purchase.

My mom recently tried the using white wine to remove red wine stains thing and it made everything significantly worse. It just spread out the stain. It made It slightly lighter but like 5x larger. The white wine left a stain too. The area surrounding the red wine stains looks like it’s wet even after it dried.

Reddit ruined it. Reddit just isn’t reddit without RIF. I don’t even wanna see what’s going on there anymore. From what I’ve heard it’s going downhill anyways.

This is how my poor grandmother must feel all the time. I’m slowly trying to understand it all. I’ve got most of lemmy figured out so far I think. But there’s a lot more to this.
