I used to read (books, newspapers, cereal packets, everything, even fricking Cosmo) a hell of a lot before t'internet. Now I struggled to read a magazine in one sitting. I have a diet of RSS feeds and the linked articles.

I'm thirty years older, as we all are pre- post- net, so that probably has an effect but it's upsetting me how little I read (read) now.

I have a old Kindle (circa the first paperwhite series) which I find is devoid of battery power whenever I pick it up and I forget to replace it on my wireless phone charger (buy the kindle a wireless charging client with a microUSB plug from Amazon/AliExpress to put between the cover you necessarily bought and the Kindle) when I remove my phone.

Thinking buying a dumb phone might be the way forward to kill my died of short articles which maybe killed my attention span.

I identify as older millennials (born at some point in the 80s), male, and about 50/50 split between living in North America or the EU.

I'm not but that's how I identify.

There's a reason they got the generic name Karens.

Like Gary (Garys aren't Karens), there aren't many around now but the few I've ever come across really were worthy of these name.

My ex wife. Imagine a Karen. Now imagine she's a solicitor who believes she is the law - no, not the police/a police officer, literally the law .. statute .. Acts.

That went as you might imagine it did.

John Wick.

Or maybe the Ian McShane character person..

Or the adjudicators that made JW an outcast in three (was it?).

Yes, the adjudicators.

Search. I want to search the entire Lemmy, not just 'my' instance.

Failing that: have Lemmy content appear in search engines.

Not heard of this.

Thank-you.

Do you have any enemies?

 

Hello all,

What do I actually do when I finally have a running instance (of containerised HA on a Raspberry Pi)? Delete all the toys from Alexa and Smart Life and start again in Home Assistant?

Is deleting everything the intelligent way to go rather than trying to transition?

My Google-foo is failing I did try to find an answer in Lemmy/Reddit/HA. Apologies if I miss an obvious place.

Thank-you in advance.
