Piefed?

I try to do every 6 weeks

If I’m going to a wedding or something at the 4+ week mark I’ll get it done early

If I don’t get it done until 8+ weeks it starts to get into an unmanageably scruffy zone

At this point, I’m just looking at all this as an interesting social experiment on sunk cost fallacy

I wonder how long they can go without delivering on anything

Anyone who travels with an entitled attitude sucks.

I’ve met people from all over the world that fit that description.

Assholes aren’t just from one place

Yep that’s exactly it, it’s hard to convince people to pay for any service on the internet, let alone for something like privacy that many users have been conditioned to not value at all.

Genuinely surprised to see this exists, SOLIDWORKS seems to always be in the same “hard no” category as Adobe software in every one of these kinds of threads I’ve seen over the years. This is literally the first time I’ve ever seen a response with a potential solution.

I wonder how well it works (Just out of curiosity, I don’t do CAD myself)

Big tech in 2025 makes its money from invading privacy and there’s an increasing demographic of users that don’t see any value in protecting their data from harvesting for some reason

You only have to look at a company like proton who provide a pretty comprehensive suite of privacy focussed software, and yet they’re still very much a niche player in the wider tech industry

The reason is greed, wealth facilitates the accumulation of more wealth.

Significant wealth needs to be taxed asap or the next generation will know nothing but perpetual poverty from birth until death.

I’m generally pretty suspicious of new accounts that start posting like power users the second they get an account

Vision is the opposite of blindness, no?

Surely if the spectrum exists for one it must exist for the other?

0 becomes 100 and 100 becomes zero

0% blind is perfect vision, 100% blind is no vision

Surely vision is a spectrum with everyone on it.

One end “better than 20-20” on the other “only darkness”

If it is a computer, it is compatible

You may just need some extra bits in addition to the base ISO

IIRC the Broadcom website has the latest Linux drivers on there if the kernel doesn’t support it out of the box, so grab a copy of those and put them on a USB.

As others have said, you could get a live distro to test it out before you install

Someone with better knowledge correct me if I’m wrong, but:

Hospitals because you don’t need to interact with the pager to see the message it’s beeping about (the doctors hands may be occupied and/or they want the quickest possible response)

Prisons because if a prisoner got hold of a receive-only pager, it’s a lot less of a problem than if they get a two-way phone

Big thanks OP for the read,

You don’t see posts like this on lemmy every day and I’m grateful to have seen this one

Last I heard they’re still heavily used in hospitals and prisons, though that is pre-covid intel now

I think you’re possibly looking for Wero and its predecessors (iDEAL, Giropay, etc)

It’s relatively new in its current form, but I think it’s being adopted across the EU at an alright rate

I might be misremembering but wasn’t it bought out by one of those data harvesting companies a while ago?

Classic UK

Here, have this sensible modernisation… With a side of surveillance

Hmm browser landgrab is an interesting one I didn’t anticipate until recently

I feel attacked that the mod replaces my main
