When I get to the point where I need a controller I am planning to use reef-pi.


Oooh I bet this will work for viewing my salt water aquarium at night so I can see the nocturnal critters and corals at work!
Or maybe I just got a little too excited because this is for the output light filter and not the camera/input.



Also not found searching the in f-droid store app.


When someone says “I don’t like or follow politics” my reply is something alomg the lines of “well, that’s your choice, but you know who does take an interest in politics? Your boss, their boss, your bank, your landlord… So go ahead and choose not to care about politics, just shut the fuck up with your whinging about the state of the world you’ve just told me you opt out of having a say in.”
Or something


Try a multingual lemmy instance. On sh.itjust.works I get German and French posts in my feed all the time from various communities when I browse Local.


It is such a dark realization that what causes so much quality of life increases is not productivity or technology but legislation and policy.
And that’s how we got Prosperity Gospel: rich folk trying to justify their lazy asses hoarding wealth and complaining about the people who actually do the work wanting fair compensation for their time and effort.


how expensive it is to be poor
For anyone that needs the read, Terry Pratchett said it so well it is an economic theory now, the Boots theory.
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. … A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. … But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes ‘Boots’ theory of socio-economic unfairness.[4]

Nah, that’s getting an mmorpg.


So now we need home addresses for all of Flock’s c-suite so we can host a website showing their lives on Flock cameras.
Start of AI generated shitsites?


I was not expecting a compliment on my manscaping when I went in for my vasectomy.
Edit to add: I did not shave for today’s colonoscopy.


I hope the best for you, friend, speedy (yet comolete!) recovery and all.


I once knew a guy that got a job by telling dick jokes on a forum. Got hired to work on some internal newsletter at Microsoft.


Oh, oh, my turn: I was fired on my first day of FMLA for a mental break caused by the ongoing discrimination at my workplace. Woohoo!
Edited to add: your job is protected for 12 months on FMLA. Your specific position is protected for 3 months after which they either have to give you a job, but not necessarily the same position you were in previously.


West. There’s gold in them thar hills!


Have you seen the movie Serenity? When they’re out in Reaver space, remember the radio chatter?
That’s what it would sound like.
Neo store is empty after installing and syncing repositories. Why would an app not be on f-droid but appear on an f-droid client app? Seems like an unnecessary extra layer.
