Manually save often. She learned the hard lesson all of us learn. I never rely on autosave anywhere. It does not always do it’s job.

Thanks. My win11 install is coming up. Looks like I may need this. Bookmarked

Yeah what did he expect. It’s not a people’s platform anymore. It’s the owner’s. Better he be off and do his own thing elsewhere. Find better fields!

This made me laugh but I can see why if you have interest you’d be somewhat annoyed by arranged and selected items. It’s not a natural sample. Sand’s not the only thing I’ve seen this done with. There are worse things in the world to be fussed up about tho’. And I do like the heart shaped piece 💜

Geeeez 🤪

I use Vivaldi. I’ve been getting the ads mostly. I have to open YouTube in a private window and view from there. Do you have Unblock with scripts? My scripts only worked for awhile. The built in adblocking is just not working for me.

I do! I have some regular playlists I use when I can’t sleep. I don’t want the Wi-Fi signal at my ear or near my body all night. Doing it old style sets me at ease.

Ew that’s kind of messed up, isn’t it?

This was hilarious. “I am not mature…” 😆

Hi, I’m glad I came across this post! I have a super super old HP printer. They were the best. I have to say mine is at least 20 years old, pre-wireless. It’s recently had problems and I’m not sure I can fix it. I need a new printer.

I have heard of Brother printers but not always been one of the top printers - everyone likes Canon, HP, Epson.

I think I’ll look more into them because of the non-proprietary ink. The ink of these printers is sometimes more than getting a new printer itself. It does not make sense.

I’m mostly an HP person since the start, so I’ll still be looking into these too. Hope you have better luck with yours.

$12 million - a bargain for digitizing the collection for eternity.

When the creator of Stardew Valley can charge $14 for his awesome game, and put it on multiple platforms and release updates for jo extra cost, and not charge subscription fees, and everyone can mod it and be happy, and the creator has made multimillions by now … Other companies need to take note.

From someone who worked at a company who wasted tons of money and had too many parties, excess staff and ceos who made excessive salaries, if these gaming companies are charging too much they need to look internally to fix issues instead of asking their customers to fuel their greed.

We always knew that. What they don’t tell you is your phone is also secretly listening. “Ok Google” <- turn that thing off too

I’ve been with Namecheap so so many years. Highly recommended.

I also had a career in tech. I’m a woman. I’ve been stepped on, harassed, disrespected. I’m just a country girl who tried to fit in the big city. And I did for awhile. But then all the layoffs, and the last company I was at just keeled over from insufficient funding, while the ceos had a ton of money and we had all these luncheons and outside training weekends. So wasteful. Disillusioned, I didn’t want to go back.

I also wanted a farm. If you’re young and strong still, do it. I’m 60 now. We were unable to obtain that farm. I guess it was meant to be. I still hope for a super mini something - some chickens and a coupla goats or a mini cow or something. You get tired after 60 and try to downsize and reduce what you do to just what’s important.

Regarding no electricity etc - be realistic and balanced. Don’t make it hard on yourself. Go get your farm in the country, but do yourself and family a favor and have a proper bathroom, running water and electricity with internet. Nobody really likes pooping in those compost toilets or having to hand pump a well for water or garden 😀 and while you may think it’s okay if you’re strong and young believe me in 20 years which goes by fast you’ll be wanting decent plumbing and electric and will likely be grateful for some internet.

I have so many. Would you like some? 😀 Most of them I’ll never read again and I’d love to see them go to a good appreciative home. I’ve collected them since I was a child, since Star Trek books started coming out. I may have some of the late 60’s books but I definitely have a bunch from the 70’s. I don’t have all the collections, just random ones I was interested in getting. I stopped buying when I went to college. Then when DS9 came out, I started reading them again after the series finished. I need to see if there are more of the story continuation I don’t have. I would love to read those.

One I think about from time to time wasn’t a novel. It was memoirs about the conventions. I wanted to go to one desperately but I was just a kid. I never told my folks - they’d never take me to something like that. I always dreamed of one coming to my hometown. Then I went to school, and career, got married and had kids. My daughter liked Voyager. We lived in a major city locale and I took her to some conventions.

Then the unbelievable happened. A ST convention came to my hick hometown. My childhood dream come true - even though I no longer lived there. We went home, and met James Doohan, Michelle Nichols, and George Takei, and another actress (the one on the episode where they age rapidly, and she died). I never knew until I got older, she was on several Westerns and I wish I could have talked with her about those! She’s passed now.

Anyway that’s the only convention I ever think about, even though we attended a good many. That one in my boonies hometown was very special.

I’m on today but was unable to get on many times. It says to change instances, but with no clue how to easily do that. I could not figure it out - so I just left it do its downtime thing until I could return.

Also, a lot of the posts are weird. Political. I don’t want to see that stuff and have blocked what I can but I’m still seeing the stuff!

When I go to specific forum topics I do want to read, there just aren’t many posts.

When I end up on the front page, some days it’s the same stuff I read hours before.

Some things need to change to make it more attractive to hang out here. Even us nerdy types are finding other places.

Not complaints. Just my observations that perhaps someone can look at as a point to make some changes

This is becoming like the paid to win games. Whales take all.

I shut off asuch of Cortana on my desktop as I could. Not a wanted feature.

I’ve looked at Obsidian but have you looked at Zettlr? I think I prefer it over Obsidian.

Nice to see that you’re getting your own thing going.
