They also aren’t ashamed or scared to show their faces.

Yeah, forgot to mention pets. All of mine hate the fireworks, so it makes for a miserable time all around.

How do fireworks help my neighbor’s PTSD, let alone my own mental health?

I can grill on my own time, thanks.

I haven’t “celebrated” the fourth in nearly a decade for this reason. On top of that fireworks are pretty bad for everything and those with PTSD.

Yeah, it’s one of those things where I was vaguely aware of the hazard, but for some reason wasn’t consciously acknowledging it. Since I came to that realization, I’ve started to gather all of my lithium batteries to take stock and start to get rid of some.

I’m definitely more worried about the batteries I’ve forgotten about that ended up in boxes or drawers. Another thing to keep me up a night, yay.

I lost my model A1263 in a box during a move. I’ve been looking for it over the last couple of weeks once I was notified about this, but no luck. I actually emailed Anker to ask if there’s a risk of fire even in storage or not in use, and apparently it can happen even when not under any load and completely discharged.

I don’t even know if I still have it. Fingers crossed that my serial isn’t one of the affected ones, but I’ll keep looking and hoping that it doesn’t burn my house down.

Holy shit, this guy actually thinks that women marginalize themselves. The mental gymnastics behind that thinking are insane.

You can use Molly from F-Droid. They even have a full FOSS version that you can set up a self hosted notification socket for, to avoid Google Firebase.

Molly is great.

I use a fake name at restaurants and fast food, and if I know something is coming via FedEx or UPS, I also use a fake name for that too. Unfortunately USPS will only deliver packages to the listed names at your address, or I would use a fake name for everything.

This only affects mastodon.social IIRC

So much for keeping the US out of war…

It sounds like you used crappy hall effect sticks or have defective ones, to be honest.

I use hall effect on the daily and have had none of the issues you’re discussing. I suppose time will tell, but I much prefer hall effect.

They could have easily fixed it with hall effect sticks. That is a proven and inexpensive solution, but Nintendo prefers to sell more joycons and create waste, it’s that simple.

Question about this since I’ve never been asked - they asked for a photo copy of your diploma? I landed my tech job without them even checking or asking for my college diploma, let alone my high school diploma (both of which I would be willing, but it’s strange to me)

I jailbroke my Kindle and use KOReader on it which made my Kindle 10x better. But you’re right in that I’d support mom & pop before Amazon.

It’s decent, with the deepseek model anyway. It’s not as fast and has a lower parameter count though. You might just need to try it and see if it fits your needs or not.

That’s fair, but I think I’d rather self host an Ollama server and connect to it with an Android client in that case. Much better performance.

Why would I use this over Ollama?
