I don’t either, but there are many in my family and friends I will gladly support.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port.

News@lemmy.world•Tesla sales resume fall in European markets in October
15·1 day agoIn Spain you can buy a BYD seagull for around 10.000€, with proper switches and stalks. A Hyundai for about 13.000. A really cool Renault 5 for about 20.000, if you want to buy European.
Granted, these are minis, but they are really adapted to much of Europe.
The cheapest Tesla is about 40.000, and arguably older tech.
Tesla has gone from innovator to legacy.

Technology@beehaw.org•Affinity’s new design platform combines everything into one app | The Verge
5·3 days agoI have been a Serif user since the early 2000’s and Affinity since V 1
I love the suite, and use it to do pro stuff, mostly typesetting supported by photo and designer.
Tracing is one of the features I really missed. Now I have it.
I have the universal license for V2, and it’s so good that it’s going to be relevant for a while.
The fact that Canva is, for the time being making it free, and not forcing AI, and allowing it to be optional, is OK by me. If I need AI for a job, I can pay for a month, pretty cheap for what I’m going to be paid.
I like the situation.
Canva is essentially making migration from Adobe easy and free, to poach users.
Win Win in my opinion

politics @lemmy.world•Trump Baffled That Dems Aren’t Caving to His Demands
14·3 days agoI’m sure there is some chapter in the art of the deal that describes something like this that the democrats could quote back to him.

4·4 days agoNot perhaps. All quotes have been authoritatively traced to Mark Twain, even this one.
They also slowly evaporate while in your pocket, irritating the thigh.
They are pretty much the best at sea, though.

News@lemmy.world•Americans increasingly concerned about government shutdown, more blame Republicans and Trump than Democrats: Poll
37·5 days agoI get that politicians may get deadlocked, Belgium was almost 2 years without government not long ago.
But why does the US politicians deadlock impact public spending already allotted? Especially long running programs and public employees.
In the civilized world, budgets get extended until politicians manage to change it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How to minimise the space taken up by windows partition? (dual-boot)

His YouTube channel is pretty cool too.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a useful or interesting product under $100 that you wouldn’t normally think to buy?
1·11 days agoMakes sense. It was talcum based, which is a pretty bad thing to breathe.

1·11 days agoWurth is just a badge engineering company with stupid high markup. I used to own a sign company, and we bought stuff from them. We slowly realized that they essentially sold convenience, a one stop shop formula.
Give me the real GOATS anytime: 3M, Hilti, any of the big pro power tool makers, etc.
With the internet, the convenience factor is gone.
Weaning yourself from doomscrolling to start focusing on (258) projects or hobbies is not embracing boredom, it’s getting your dopamine fix from positive things.

3·13 days agoYes, but please, get a good one. A crappy one is likely to strip heads.
Ifixit sets are highly regarded.
I have a Wiha set, but that may be overkill for many.

If you use an electric toothbrush, every two or three brushing, use a manual one. Both brush differently, so you will reach more nooks and crannies by alternating.
