100% agree, which is a shame because having real numbers for the proportion of the population that don’t fit into what the bigots think is normal might help to convince some of them that they’re not so normal. (I’m not saying this very well, but I think you get what I mean.)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder :-)

OK, I was on my phone. Just checked on my desktop and agree the original could do with some margins. I stand behind the rest of what I said - the default colours for the “best” are awful - the black black and red red is really garish. If I didn’t notice the dark/light mode switch and contrast adjustment does it really matter if they were there or not? There is also way to much information on the “best” one - if I’m going to a web site cold, with no expectation at all of what you might find, I’m not going to sit there and read that much text - I need a gentle introduction, that may lead somewhere.

I prefer the original. The “better” one had a bit of a lag (only a fraction of a second, but in this context that’s important) loading and the “best” one has the same lag and unreadable colours.

Did you read my post, or just the subject? I’m not asking for help, just sharing an observation - just in case I got a bunch of "me too"s.

I resolved my issue by unplugging and replugging my Zooz USB stick.

It seemed to be a hardware issue - the blue light on the controller was out until I removed and replaced it. It’s too much of a coincidence for me though that I just happened to have this hardware issue at the time when the software that uses that hardware was being updated.

I use Vendor/Product ID to access it:

I’m not a server admin., just a user. The Lemmy instance I’m on setup a Piefed instance in parallel and is giving users the option to use either, or both. I’m still trying to get my head around the history and the pros/cons of each but for now it seems like I’m switching to Piefed. I imagine that if most users move then the Lemmy instance might get shutdown in the future.

yeah, I need a TPU - my CPU is 5 generations too old

but not really sure what you are doing?

I want to install one of these in a machine that doesn’t have an M.2 slot.
