Logh@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•LA Times reports that Palm Springs bomber had an account on Lemmy.world2·1 month agoI have been exploring Marxist thinking deeply in the past but not for the past few years. True, it might be something to go back to sometime.
Logh@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•LA Times reports that Palm Springs bomber had an account on Lemmy.world2·2 months agoI feel a little bit like I was duped by ml. Chose it because the devs were here, but I haven’t thought about the top level domain until I saw their profile pictures. Now, I’m no stranger to leftist views, but I’m pretty far from being ml. I might switch if things get ugly, but I can take some minor stigma for a while longer.
Logh@lemmy.mlto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Anyone ever want to pirate for moralistic reasons?English2·2 months agoSpotify only pays for the first few listens I think. Also, the payout is a fraction of pennies.
I have a T14 gen1 ryzen 7 (only 16G of ram for now), with integrated graphics running bazzite. Civ 5 and 6, rimworld, FTL run flawlessly. Anno 1800 is a bit laggy, but playable. I also do some sim racing and no complaints there either, if graphics are set just right, so I think that the bar for hardware is pretty low. As for hardware, not sure what I’d go with, but I’m sure there is no need to go overboard. For software bazzite is amazing if you want near hassle free gaming.
As for accessories I have a keychron keyboard which was a worthwhile investment and a Mionix 3200 mouse that’s over 10 years old, still amazed at the build quality and value for money. A good keyboard mouse combo is invaluable.

Logh@lemmy.mlto Cars - For Car Enthusiasts@lemmy.world•What are your guy's dream car?English1·4 months agoLoved my little Rover 25 with the 1.4 K series. Incredibly fun car and super underrated. Now I drive a high milage hero mk 1 Skoda Octavia with the venerable 1.8T remapped. It’s a barge and a little ropey, but it’s really funny how I can take even modern cars from light to light. I would like something with fewer doors though, maybe a Porsche boxter is up next. A step up from that would be a 993 or 996, but those are pretty pricey. With an unlimited budget I’d probably go for a GMA t.50 or t.33.
Funny how CrowdStrike already sounds like some malware’s name.
Logh@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•Can anyone recommend a lightweight, stable distro for a thinkpad?3·1 year agoI have been using a t450 for the past 5 years as my only pc. For about 4 years I used Arch without any major issues, but my “optimizations” became too much to maintan. For the past year I’ve been using Kinoite and it’s brilliant.
Everything runs good enough out of the box and in my daily use I haven’t noticed that I’m running a 9 year old machine. I even play games that should have no business running on that crusty old thing. Also, the stability is divine.
I always found the difference between general and special whativity fascinating.

Logh@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•EasyJet bumps 19 passengers off flight because plane is ‘too heavy’English3·2 years agoProbably better than doing it mid flight.
The radiator hoses are as old as the car bar a few that have been changed in the last 24 years. The radiator looks pretty good, the hoses look alright as well, I just had some problems before out of the blue so that’s why I’m a bit worried. I also had slight ovearheating last year during searing summer days under either very high load (slow and steep climb with 4 heavy dudes and luggage) or inching in traffic with the AC on. Nothing a short stop at idle with the AC off wouldn’t fix
I have some nice grippy summer tires that I used for a single season, so that should be okay. The spares will come from the winter set which are a bit older but they are good enough as spares (I wouldn’t drive on them for another season, but I tend get new tires after two seasons max).
Maintenence under my watch was pretty consistent. The car is at the shop to take care of anything I neglected. They’re changing the cambelt, waterpump, rocker cover gasket, a few bushings, pretty much the entire exhaust system and a few bits here and there. Pads are brand new, haven’t had the chance to bed them in yet.
Last year I went on a similar trip (roughly 2000km but only 1-2 passes in mild weather) and things went great. Now there will be a LOT of climbing and descending and it’s the height of summer.
Honestly I trust the car, but I like to be prepared. It’s an old hile milage hero (about 470k on the clock) with the venerable VAG 1.8T (and a cheeky map). On paper it has no business running, much less doing this sort of stuff, but it never let me down regardless of not being easy on it. If I had the time and money until the trip I would jury rig a sprinkler above the intercooler to cool the charge air a little further, but I don’t see how it would go well at this stage.
