I’m out of the loop. Could someone please explain like I’m a 5 year old that knows just enough Linux to be dangerous?
I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

My last office had a gym and a shower. It was awesome back when I to was “between wells” at my house and so didn’t have any water pressure for a couple of weeks.
(Oh the glorious day when my new well got hooked up and I could take a bath in my own home again!)
Technically, it’s not been my municipality that’s charged me, but those around me and where I work. I don’t vote there. My town didn’t exist when the people I’m researching were making records. And at the state level, it comes up every few years but dies in committee. Last time was in 2020, when it died due to the pandemic changes everyone’s focus. I’ll ping my local congresscritter and see if it can be revived–the person advocating for change recently retired, sadly.
Accurate. I both misread your comment and I have a bee in my bonnet about a $20 fee to take pictures of something you can examine for free.
Tell that to my town clerk, charging $20 to take pictures of documents with your own phone. This is based on Sec. 1-212 part g (the bottom) of state law And, as a local history researcher, it bites ass.
I’m really glad other people get to enjoy their dad in their dad’s old age. It’s lovely.
He’s a good senior pup.
I was just as alert after the first 3 alerts as after the 8th. The additional alerts didn’t tell me anything new, they just gave me alarm fatigue.
And yes, it was bad. Roads were flooded. Buildings were flooded. People were evacuated. People died.
I finally went in and did this a couple weeks ago. We were under flash flood advisory and every time the end timestamp was updated, we got another “severe” alert. I didn’t need 8 very loud alerts going off over the course of a quiet evening at home.
TBH, I’m not convinced regular Spam is trying to act like meat. Sometimes people just want a hunk of spiced protein.
Agreed, it’s pretty great. And while the computer sometimes misunderstands what you swipe, it will show you potential alternatives you can tap on. Like in this screenshot:
How many X are in XTX?
I wish they would. It might mean fewer fire alarms tripped by vapes. (I work in a college library and it’s not funny have to evacuate the building just because someone decided to vape in a study room.)
Walk someone else through editing a config file on the command-line over screenshare? Nano. Omg nano is your friend.
The problem with using nano for years is that I now try using nano shortcuts in other programs. Random new windows opening is confusing, until you figure out Ctrl+o isn’t save in that program. Then it’s just annoying because you still have your inappropriate muscle memory.
You can also ask a librarian for help. We like finding things and might be able to get a copy through interlibrary loan or other connections. We also like girl scout cookies, especially the ones with coconut.
Can confirm: am allergic to latex and use LaTeX. Benadryl and barrier cream are my friends.
ALL HOUSE CRITTERS ARE BADASS! YOU PET THAT HOUSE PANTHER UNLESS IT DOESN’T WANT YOU TO. SOME HOUSE PANTHERS ARE PERSNICKETY LIKE THAT.
YAS! I’M DOING MY CROSS-STITCH AND IT’S WICKED AWESOME! DO STUFF! PET DOGS! PET MORE DOGS!
I like you, Cock_Inspecting_Asexual. You have a way with words.
