Having a home printer allows for easy printing of shipping labels, zines, letters, etc.

As for books, it can be useful for rarer books that a library may not have access to, though that is a bit more rare of a need.

I’ve had an operational printer in the household since around the year 2000, and I cannot fathom not having access to one. I would be a virtual headless chicken running around wailing about gutenburg or something.

Switching from Ink to Laser printers was a game changer as far as maintenance and costs (you can pick up a reconditioned laser printer from the early 2000’s from a company that specializes in refurbing them and rock it for decades).

It’s pretty all encompassing, and can’t be shortened. I only found it a short while ago, otherwise I’d have posted it sooner.

It basically covers:

1. What to wear, what to bring
2. Various tactics for different situations
3. Quick medical aid primer
4. How to organize

and more.

Glad to be of help and that you’re up and running! :D

I had to go to the F-droid setting, click on Include Anti-Features, then enable ‘Tethered Network Services’ for it to show up in the F-droid search.

I love skewmorphism, personally, so I wouldn’t mind a return to that paradigm. If it was pixel art skewmorphism, ugh, I’d be in heaven.

Their military is in shambles. Satellite photos show their armored vehicle stockpiles are virtually empty, to the point where they’re sending some troops on suicide runs using ATV’s, golf carts, and motorcycles because they don’t have enough APC’s to spare.

They are in no shape to invade anyone besides ukraine.

Oh and as for the local communities you follow, they will have to move as well, so be sure to check if there’s a post saying where they’ll go at some point.

You’re welcome ^^

I wish you well finding a new home!

No idea, I’m just regurgitating another person’s comment who mentioned that thunder was in progress 😅

Lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month.

You will need to create a new account on a new instance. You can export your current subscriptions, blocks, and favorited comments and posts by clicking on the Export JSON file in your profile settings page, which you can then use to import at your new instance. You’ll need to export that file before the 30th.

To help find a new instance, check out this comment.

It’s a totally different project with a different codebase, but is Lemmy/activitypub compatible. Currently only one app supports it (interstellar), but more are coming (thunder).

After checking just now, it appears that it does! :D

Lemmy.world is already the largest instance, recommending it to more people seems like it’d just speedrun burnout like what happened to lemm.ee, not to mention centralization around .world goes against the philosophy of the fediverse.

That’s a good point. On a similar note, Programming.dev had pretty severe database breakage that took quite some time to fix, but thankfully both instances seem to be healthy and working well nowadays. :)

For lemm.ee users who will be migrating to new instances: You can export your subscriptions and blocks to import them to your new instance! You can export that info in your profile settings panel, and import it from the same page on your new instance.

General instances:

Sopuli.xyz is a great medium sized general purpose instance. Good admins that update to the latest Lemmy release consistently.

Lemmy.cafe could be another option if you’d prefer a smaller general purpose instance (to help spread the load and prevent the burnout that lemm.ee experienced) that’s also run by a solid admin.

Themed instances:

Retrolemmy.com - a cool place for retro tech/game enthusiasts

Literature.cafe - For book lovers and readers!

lemmy.dbzer0.com - fantastic instance for Anarchists and those who like to go Yarr! 🏴‍☠️

Programming.dev - For techies interested in programming and linux

Mander.xyz - Focused on Science and Nature

Lemmy.zip - PC Gaming and Tech focused

You can find more over at Lemmyverse.net

Piefed:

If you’re willing to try an entirely new way to interact with Lemmy and the threadiverse, consider giving Piefed.social a try, a completely independent project from Lemmy. It’s still a little behind in some ways, but also has a bunch of features that lemmy doesn’t. If you’re a community mod looking to migrate, Piefed apparently makes it particularly easy!

Also @1024_Kibibytes@lemm.ee

And Pirates Gold on the Sega Genesis is a good option for any emulation handhelds, basically a pixel art version of the remake.

I think the modified horseshoe theory describes it best.

I’ve never had a Manjaro install not break in the 4 times I’ve given it serious tries, all from updates. I could’ve avoided a few them by checking the forums first, but one was due to not updating for a couple months, which seem to set it up for failure when I did update.

I can’t imagine cursing a newbie with it.

In comparison, Linux Mint has virtually never given me trouble, even if left not updated for months.
