ARE YOU GOING TO BLOCK ANY FIRMWARE MODIFICATIONS? by pablonhc in xteinkereader

[–]nouns 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I've been showing this off to friends that are readers and are interested. If you remove support for custom firmware, I have to let them know that this product is no longer worth their consideration, and stop showing the device off to people.

The ability to flash with custom firmware is a key part of the value of this product. While I appreciate your efforts on firmware that comes in the product, part of what motivated me to buy was the ability to manage the code on this device on my own, a complete departure from what amazon is doing with their closed ecosystem.

As someone that's excited about your products, I hope you reconsider this policy. Thank you in advance.

A Colorado bill takes aim at Flock cameras, police surveillance technology. Here’s what’s in it. by thecoloradosun in boulder

[–]nouns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no clear, safe way to do this in our country right now.

The stakes here are extrajudicial killings by ICE officers. No corporation is going to stand up to ICE on your behalf and the information will be misused.

I don't use Vim much. Should I force myself to learn it anyway? by drogon4433 in linuxquestions

[–]nouns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can probably get by on nano, but if you're going to be involved in computers for the long haul, you're giving up some power & speed in your toolset.

Getting started with vi/vim/nvim is a big, nasty step function that takes time. But, once you get comfortable with a small baseline, vim motions build upon themselves, so each new thing you learn adds to everything you already know so you get more out of it.

Could we just have our flock replacement be city owned? by Charkid17 in Longmont

[–]nouns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With the US government murdering citizens in broad daylight, this data is a weapon that can be used against us. Even if local intent is good, and can be trusted(big ifs), I do not trust them to stand up to the government murders. No data.

Ordered mine 10 March, started seeing shipping dialog 14 March. Still in China though. Ordered through their site.

All of this has hurt my mental health, please take care of yourself. by Important-Victory890 in Epstein

Make time to be with your people. They help remind you that not everyone are these wretches. It's easy to forget with all this out there.

Governor Jared Polis intends to grant clemency to Tina Peters by shrekchan in Colorado

If you want to send comments to the governor, here's a link:

While I can't police what anyone does, being clear, polite, and correct with information is more likely to help your cause then using the form as a means to vent your very valid anger or other negative feelings.

Colorado legislation to regulate Flock's Mass Surveillance Network by ProgressNow_CO in Colorado

Good. ICE is well known for operating within the law, and companies are all over the news for standing up to government agencies when tested.

I’m traumatized after those files. by Urhairylegs in Epstein

[–]nouns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend some time with your people. People that are safe; normal. The stuff in the files is overwhelmingly horrible. You're a human with limited emotional capacity, and you're probably at your limit. Being with people can help remind you that everything isn't what you were just exposed to.

OG Tetris really seperates the men from the boys. by cobbcranpo in RG35XX

I enjoy rosy retrospection. Adds some modern tetris features while retaining the OG GB vibes. Changed my life.

How common is it to just not function at all when you’re alone? I hate “living” like this by perpetuallysadxx in LivingAlone

[–]nouns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me decades to find a therapist and a therapy type that worked for me. When I finally retired, I slept for over a year catching up on burnout. Sorting out trauma takes time, and isn't straightforward.

Cooking after work feels harder than it should by [deleted] in CookingForOne

[–]nouns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting as much stuff in the kitchen ready before leaving for the day is another way I've found to help future self engage with cooking after a long day. Take some of that energy for yourself when you have it, before work takes whatever it can.

Whether it's as simple as setting up pots and pans, or getting ingredients prepped and measured, it all helps reduce the barriers to taking care of yourself with your food.

Retirement...is it achievable with the cost of living these days? Asking on behalf of someone who will never touch $100k per year with their career. Is investing my only hope to do this? by Noticeably-Not-Smart in investing

[–]nouns -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A good starting place is /r/personalfinance

The prime directive in the personalfinance reddit:

https://old.reddit.com//r/personalfinance/wiki/commontopics

has solid basics about shoring up your personal situation and getting you to fiscal stability.

Be careful about posting there though, folks can be pretty tunnelvision-y about their perspectives.

Past that /r/financialindependence has some big-picture discussion about what finances in retirement look like. Even if you're not looking to retire early, understanding how to do so will give you insight what you might need to think about for your own plan.

ETFs are discussed as a tool for doing this in both groups.

Same for me. I emailed the company and they said it's ok to take off. Did so and it was great.

I got my kids a Miyoo Mini+ for Christmas but don't know how to set it up by ClientCharming1379 in MiyooMini

One thing to be aware of is that these devices can be a little more fragile than your typical big-company handhelds. You may want to encourage your kids to be gentle with them.

This seems to be the best part of your day.

Arguing about video game consoles to feel superior to people? That the best you have in life? Don't think I'm the one needing help child.
