They lost me when they discontinued snap cam on the computer.

I use krita way more than gimp

I agree completely that open source can be audited by anyone, but I did read something tried to be sneaked into an update, and you never really know, software is complicated and maybe some roundabout way to have an exploit using code that looks like it’s intent was something different.

I was reading how the us gov tried to plant something in an update.

For all we know, Linux could be just as compromised…

Maybe when she finds a way out of that abusive house she can truly bloom into the great version of herself that she seeks.

My wife and I met ages ago. We were friends for a while. Went on some dates, and eventually got together. I think we were dating about 8 years before getting married, we knew we were compatible. We didn’t rush anything.

I got married in Vegas, it was a very affordable wedding. That was almost 10 years ago.

If one of us dies, being married is a very easy way to make sure the other person inherits everything they need to survive.

I also see how impressed older people are when we say we are married, it seems so few people get married anymore.

There are so many good reasons to get married. Just be sure before jumping in that both are on the same page of life and goals, compatibility, compromise and understanding, etc.

Yea, it’s been super nice. Mine can be powered by 120V AC or 12-24V DC. I’m using the 24V DC so I can still use the 12V outlet on my BLUETTI for other things. It’s been working great.

That is how our iceco fridge is, it opens at the top like a cooler.

We do have a lot of wind most of the year, my neighbor gave me 2 wind power generators, but I need to get them and install them.

I was saying that when it’s really rainy the clouds will block the solar, so I might need a gas power generator to keep my batteries going. We have only been here a few months so not really sure what to expect.

Right now we are very light on power, the most power hungry is our portable iceco fridge that uses about 40w of power on and off. We have mostly rechargeable lights and phones, and my laptop that is USB-C to charge.

We are in Arizona, high elevation so it’s not as hot as the big cities. (Over 5,000 ft)

We want to order water delivery first, then collect rain water after we build a roof over the RV.

We have solar and it’s been enough for us so far, but I know when it rains during monsoon season that I may need a generator.

They are not only in that place, but that is the level where you find the most of them.

I’m very happy to be a land owner. Just a few months ago I bought some land and now live in an RV on the land. Tomorrow we drive about 7 hours round trip and get the last of our stuff from storage. So happy to not pay that rent anymore.

We have fresh air, beautiful views, and tons of space to work on projects, free electric from solar, and soon free water from rain. I can’t wait to start our garden soon, then it will be free groceries.

Are you at the correct level. Minecraft changed the level diamonds are at a few years ago

I had an HP laptop that melted, but they voided the warranty when I unplugged it to stop it melting.

I avoided their products since then. Fucking $1200 gone.

I also have an HP printer and if I were to ever use HP toner it’s over $1000 for the 4 toners. But the generics are way under $100.

I avoid HP!

I never connected my TV to the internet, I use a computer, an Apple TV or other box like that, etc always using external hdmi devices.

Practice daily, any chance you get. Then see how far you get and if you enjoy doing it.

I always say “AI (LLM) is just a random sentence generator “

I see throughout history things have their ups and downs. I look forward to the next up.

One time in the mid 2000s my friend and I were on a hike in the mountains and we found a tree that was like a cave, all branches everywhere except a little entrance. Inside we found porn magazines with the pictures ripped out and placed on branches all over the inside of the “cave”. After that we always joked about the porn cave we found.
