The beep multimeters make when in continuity mode. It is a way to test that 2 points are electrically connected with little/no resistance. If they are connected the multimeter will emit a continuous beep. If there is no beep than either the points aren't connected or there is a resistor or something else preventing the connection. The amount is resistance required to prevent a connection (measured in ohms) tends to be possible to set on the multimeter.

Which is probably a net positive on their lives. The less social media the better.

Why not make a group with the good players?

On top of that board game shops tend to do game nights, and probably have a system for putting together groups.

It's almost like there's more acceptance that mental health is real health, but no it's the evil checks notes sunscreen that's making me sad. Not the existential nightmare that life currently is, not the constant feed of negative news that's coming from the computer that is basically another appendage. Correlation != Causation. Could it be a contributing factor? Yeah probably, feeling the sun on your face does lift my mood, but I can point to countless other causes that are way more relevant. If you really want to figure out the causes, go see a therapist, they're great at helping out your feelings into words you can actually act upon. When if you don't have anything you're trying to figure out about yourself, go see a therapist, it's like getting a yearly physical just check in to make sure there's nothing wrong.

Still better than nothing. Not sure how I feel trusting Google to keep my data secure, but on its face I think it's a good thing. It should be used in conjunction with other good opsec practices, but having tools available to more people is a good thing. This assumes that it actually does what it says it does on the tin.

Fuck that hits my emotions really hard. Always love a good piece that achieves a lot with so little.

Does it count as visiting if it shows up on my main feed? (I am ignoring the fact I have to visit to leave this comment).

If it's a package I'm not familiar with and is relatively small/unknown then I'll give it a brief once over to see if there's anything that sticks out (obfuscated code, making http requests when the package should never do that, etc.). Most of the time though it is just trusting the FOSS community.

Do you have a source for this map?

This fool doesn't know that jet fuel can't melt steel beams. Edit: apparently I needed this /s

 

It's been ages since I've really done some deal hunting online with how ubiquitious Amazon is I've realized I'm not up to date with the current ecosystem for finding trustworthy online storefronts. Do you have any sources/tips for finding good quality products (especially with all the AI slop that exists nowadays)?

 

Always the first thing I turn off, but surely there are some people out there that actually like it. If you're one of those people is there a particular reason?

 

Feeling like I'm spending too much time doing nothing, and I know the mobile app for Lemmy on my phone is a huge part of this. Has anyone else tried removing Lemmy apps from their phone to cut down? Any unexpected consequences you have noticed?
