It's really great to be able to browse via all - these days it's very easy to bubble up in some echo chamber. I've been here since the great API apocalypse and you all have made me research so many topics I'd never looked up on my own.

Find something middle sized. I work in a bakery, around 200 employees. I do some industrial automation, in house IT support and I ended up writing ERP for the joint. I think I could get 20 to 30 percent more at a larger company but here I do what I want and not what I'm told to.

The article has some really weird parts underlining somebody's anti-Russian and pro-Ukrainian while discussing Gaza/Israel -situation. It's like there's one larger eastern power killing indiscriminantly a smaller population west of them. And per article it's horrific when it's Gaza but somehow it's US and UK imperialism when Russians are killing/raping/pillagin in Ukraine.

I'd take the source with a grain of salt.

Even us close to Scandinavia get triggered. There aren't that many practical ways to get around at winter. Skis work when feet don't.

In the article there was a link to UW:s own article which had a link to research groups own page, which had a link to original research: "Recyclable vitrimer-based printed circuit boards for sustainable electronics" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-024-01333-7 .

I'm just a curious layman, but on my cursory look it seems that it's quite stable against heat, moisture and chemicals. Looks promising, hopefully this is cheap enough that manufacturers actually start using it.

My father is a leftie and as a young child I found it cool that he could do stuff with left hand while I was only able to use my right.

That inspired me to learn how to use both arms and that really has been a blessing - being ambidexterous is awesome. It was especially great when I finally learned to stick weld with my left hand. So many impossible corners are just corners now.

To my knowing there's round 5% of people that are totally left handed or totally right handed. Every one else, please learn to use your non dominant hand.

As I understood my Swedish was so off that they couldn't trust my Finnish passport or driving licence to be trustworthy. They claimed they could not verify my age.

I was in over 40 in this exchange.

Last time I went to Systembolaget they refused to sell anything to me because of my obviously Finnish accent. Luckily the nearby ICA had no problem in selling me some folköl. My Swedish is passable, it is just obviously from wrong country.

There's also the fact that in Finnish it's properly ihmissyöjä (personeater or some such). Kannibaali is quite used loan word but we do have our own.

I will not make vim my sweet as it is optimized for us keyboard. Most of the shortcuts are awful in my native (Finnish) layout. As much of a heretic I am, there is a place for mouse and windowing display managers.

What I do miss from the Redmont dystopia is Notepad++. Can do anything, can be explained over the phone.

That's the way it works. I had an uncle with multiple sclerosis (spelling?). He used to get his PC infected with all sorts of ransomware back in late 90's. For him credit card was the answer, luckily his siblings mostly got somebody to clean the shit up.

That's the funniest thing - I'm one of those senile Digg to Reddit people. Digg to Reddit was something I felt and dreaded. Reddit to Lemmy was a relief. There is not as much to click but everything is worth a click.
