No, all it would do is fracture the existing community, with some leaving for the new and some staying here unaware. Until there is an official migration tool in Lemmy itself this is the only way to retain the community that was built

I have no idea where you are but not even a single battery is 25 cents where I live.

Even then, you’re still literally throwing away money when you get rid of it instead of buying a product you can reuse in any other future toy, remote, whatever. Throwing away money is the dumbest thing. You don’t make any sense, not financially, ecologically, my original comment I think still reigns true, it’s pure laziness.

Yeah I guess it’s “weird” to use rechargeable batteries which are only slightly more than regular batteries but can be used over and over and over again. Putting aside “anti consumption” that’s just plain the better deal

From the votes, I think you are the outlier.

I get people even here who just swear up and down it’s impooooooosible for them to switch for a littany of excuses. It costs too much (it doesn’t, it’s actually way cheaper), why would I put them in a remote? (Literally why wouldn’t you) They aren’t as convenient (compared to buying them at a store?). Or my favorite “they don’t work as well” ,which they don’t in maybe 5% of cases. So they could still replace 95% of their alkaline but let’s be real they just don’t want to even try.

They’re still there, and usually it’s pure laziness, or just arrogance that they don’t care about the immense waste.

The US data center industry provides significant benefits to local communities—creating hundreds of thousands of high-wage jobs…

Bullshit. Real tired of this argument. It’s well known that datacenters are minimally staffed. Iowa got one and they convinced people that it would bring high paying jobs. Of course it didn’t. The high paying jobs are in tech centers, and even then they are less and less. Data centers are meant to just run with minimal involvement from humans. Everyone should fight for them to not be near them.

Same, I recently looked for vehicles and this was an option we desperately wanted. We have a great ev now that’s tiny and efficient, but a small truck would have been great

For those who need it, OP it might help you, but ProduKey is still valid. It’ll go into the registry and get your key, even if it’s OEM.

Because it gets your product key, windows claims it’s malicious. It’s not. You can force it to run anyway and get your keys.

10/11 don’t really have keys, but I still grab them anyway. Every beelink I get I grab the keys off before removing Windows

Dual license. You can specify one license under some conditions and another license for other conditions. So you could specify that if your code is going to be used by someone like say, Amazon, they need to pay you a license. But actual open source projects get it free and clear. Or whatever combo you want.

I fully understand and empathize this. No matter what I do, it’s thanks to her in her eyes. My faults and failings are of course not hers, but all of the wins and accomplishments are.

Agreed that if someone submits a dmca request they should be egregious enough that they’re willing to pay for lawyers and court fees. If they’re not ready to commit to that then it’s not that severe

Child walking onto the street in front of a truck? Billy please come here, please don’t walk into a truck. Never is such a strong word. And I have a mother who yelled, frequently, and I still think there are a few cases. Parents aren’t infallible or perfect.

Oh god that hit me hard. My mother’s is “but I raised good children” i.e. the ends justified the means.

Yeah but you could have done it differently too! It’s not mutually exclusive!

I tried for years to decide that, and with therapy learned that was I doing it for her or me, and if for me does it really help? She’ll never change, so it does no good. Instead I keep her a healthy distance away. I still see her, but measured intervals.

Dual license seems great. Mit for any not monetized code, if you want to monetize it that’s fine, but since you depend on the work of open sources devs, then you need to pay for a license

Well, not that they were top of the list but I’ve been considering a new von provider, and well they’re out of the running now

I’ve had aqara and I’ve never had it turn off randomly

I can see through time!

Homer and Apu

I heard my dad parrot every single one of those. Each one a perfect hit to enrage him and make him angry, each one contradicting the past, and all together show how it was always about wanting cheap labor.

Thanks for pointing this out. That is hilarious. I immediately assume bros who have tried to make their own launchers popular
