Of Course it’s Logitech. Their software has been shit for ages.

I’m going to assume these are open source apps because for some reason that’s how those guys like to name stuff.

I don’t see my preference listed. I just wear socks.
- Comment on I got herpes. What can I expect? 1 week ago:
For what it’s worth, something like 1 in 4 adults have it. Most don’t even know.

It’s also possible a critter shorted the contacts. Happens all the time in Florida. Usually the fried lizard is still there.

At last it’s an inexpensive and easy fix. Just buy another capacitor with the same specs and swap them out. Better yet, buy two! Keep one as a backup.

I’m in the middle of a similar journey now and it has been eye opening. I’ve dreamed of living up in the mountains. In practice, it’s a huge pain in the ass! Narrow winding roads that take hours to drive just to get to the nearest anything! If I was living off the land with little need to venture out it might be ok, but I’m finding I’d prefer OP’s current situation. Far enough to have some peace and quiet but within reasonable reach to civilization.

I’m impressed it got the words right.

AliExpress in particular is terrible with however they’re going about language selection. I have had this happen countless times and I don’t even travel or use a VPN. Like it’s based on a merchant you viewed or some other nonsense.
- Comment on Oil company funds computer game that promotes fossil fuels to schoolchildren 3 weeks ago:
Correct. That is the shithole we are currently living in (excluding the few countries that give a fuck about children). For an example of someone born from shitty parents in a shitty society “educated” by the shitty public system of the USA, I present you with… Me.
- Comment on Oil company funds computer game that promotes fossil fuels to schoolchildren 3 weeks ago:
The crappy parents unfortunately.
- Comment on I hate Samsung and their dumb software design choices, and this is one of them. Why do I need a SIM card to enable a hotspot whereas every other phone works without one? 3 weeks ago:
Both of those are such a scam. Greed has ruined this country.
- Comment on I hate Samsung and their dumb software design choices, and this is one of them. Why do I need a SIM card to enable a hotspot whereas every other phone works without one? 3 weeks ago:
Many carriers sell hotspot as a data capped premium feature. They probably want a SIM so you can be monitored and charged for using your own device on your own network and services that you’ve already paid for. Because greed.
- Comment on Why do so many people delete their posts? 3 weeks ago:
Downvotes are not what I’m afraid of. I shouldn’t have to explain this to someone with your username.
- Comment on Why do so many people delete their posts? 3 weeks ago:
What I still post here is still genuine. I’m just biting my tongue about certain topics. No different than one would do while at work.
- Comment on Why do so many people delete their posts? 4 weeks ago:
It was with great pain that I recently deleted something like 50 to 100 of my own posts. They were all political. Lots of great discussions. But we live in a time where having the wrong kind of history on social media could make you a target either now or in the future. I’m sure a lot of that is still floating around one way or another but if I can reduce any spotlights on my ass it’s something I felt I had to do.
Since then I haven’t deleted anything. I try to keep my posts non-political. In my real life I am now focusing on bettering myself. I’ve given up on trying to change the country or anything like that. It can all they to ash. I’ve ran out of fucks to give.
But hey, I’m contributing on !loweffortmemes@crazypeople.online again, so there’s that.
- Comment on Why don't people like Melon Tusk get tired of the shit they gave you pull through literally every day ? I mean doesn't the guilt of bad decisions pull them down enough like the rest of us ? 4 weeks ago:
Some people may alter names and words to avoid retaIiation if/when the oIigarchs figure out how to scrap Iemmy for keywords in search for those who may oppose them. This is already happening on other pIatforms.
I don’t have a solution to this dilemma.
I will continue to protect myself in favor of assisting others to keep their heads in the sand.

One more reason to use Aurora Store instead of Google Play. Or better yet, F-Droid.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Yeah I’m going to start with Mint. If that doesn’t satisfy my inner geek I’ll branch out. I’ve got several PC’s for different uses so I wouldn’t be opposed to eventually having different distros for each of those purposes.

This is the way. As soon as they hear “charge back” they’re going to scramble to satisfy you. If they don’t, they have no idea how screwed they’re going to be after too many of those.
- Comment on Max pulling THIS shit every time I finish watching Last Week Tonight 2 months ago:
I haven’t paid him much attention the last few years but that’s always been how I’ve felt about him.
Even if he’s wrong half the time, at least he thinks for himself. That’s a quality I respect in people, which is sadly lacking these days. People are right about his arrogant attitude though. Probably why I stopped paying attention to him.
