The US is a broken democracy. But unfortunately right now the only way to salvage anything and even get a chance of reforming it ever, you have to vote for Harris. It’s sad and the rest of the world would be laughing at you if it weren’t this serious for all of us. Please get Harris in and then suggest a move to a more pluralistic, modern democracy after. The other candidates will not matter in the current system. All you do is helping whoever wins.

I bought an MX3 on a sale when leaving one job that wanted the mouse back and coming to one that didn’t offer one (or maybe I simply wasn’t patient enough?). The next job had an MX2S from a previous employee in the box with factory sealed cheapo mice. Easy choice to go for the used MX. Now I have two! But sometimes I get confused when they’re accidentally in the same place 😅 also love the three channels for pairing to different devices. Even comes in handy on the iPad once in a while.

I had been wondering why the Asperger/ ASD communities on Lemmy are so quiet. Now I’m wondering if we just assume most Lemmy users are ND either way? Sure seems like it with this question.

Also OT: yes, when I was a kid but always brushed it off. Now that I’m recently diagnosed so many things are starting to make sense but I’m still new to this. I guess I’m high functioning and very good at masking.

The Logitech MX Master is the best productivity mouse ever. Apple apparently has no desire to compete with it.

Can’t we ever have software that just keeps working? Password managers are like the new RSS readers.

  1. search around for a good one
  2. find a nice one and start using it
  3. they add stuff you didn’t want and slowly make it worse
  4. they’re bought up/ abandoned/ otherwise become unviable

My daily driver was 6.06 up to 8.x I think. Only had minor encounters with it since. And here I am still fooling myself into thinking „I’m pretty familiar with Ubuntu“ 😅

I’m skilled with IT stuff (I guess many are on here) but have plenty of that at work and a highly varying degree of time for such things based on what’s happening in life. I guess the more handheld something is the more I fear it might break when I absolutely don’t have time or mental capacity to deal with it. I’m getting quite comfy with how well the Synology works. It’s kind of weird there isn’t a “pay up and just extend the synology into the cloud automagically” - it all sounds adding more possible failure sources.

Do they have any bundle offers like Apple One? It really adds up quickly. I’m honestly hoping for some Black Friday deals that reduce the cost for whatever I end up choosing.

Actually have Jellyfin running on the NAS and am starting to get back into “in-home streaming” - but I also want to maybe stream a show while traveling.

So far the NAS is not reachable from the internet and knowing how many threats lurk out there I’m sort of happy with that. I still want to do backups as well es find photos when I’m e.g. visiting family or simply traveling.

 

What are your thoughts on finding a good level of subscriptions for online services, such as storage, photo backup, music streaming, video streaming?

Personal situation: I don't want a ton of subscriptions. I take lots of photos. I listen to music quite a bit. I live in a household that has Android, iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, Linux, ... and a Synology NAS that is already filling up with old music and video stuff from before streaming, phone photo backups as well as the photos from the big camera (manually copied so far). I currently pay for two cloud storage thingies and have to free ones, 3/4 are full :P We also have Spotify Family and cut down to only (HBO) Max and public service for video plus sometimes getting something specific for a month or two.

Any experiences or other observations welcome as well!

Saw them at a hotel not too long ago and immediately talked about how matte black faucets would be awesome at home.
