My mid 2013 MacBook air sees more use than any of my other devices.

I bought it for £100 a few years back and haven’t looked back.

They have enough of those in their club already tbh.

XFCE. Because I’m an idiot, and all my computers are old.

It’s hard not to be a doomer with news like this - I’m glad I’m not having kids is all I can think about when I read this; I don’t want to think about what the world is going to look like when I’m (not much) older.

Population is increasing, despite this. But the current dialogue around immigration is absolutely horrific, so good luck to everyone who plans on living long enough to maybe need care.

The line must go UP.

I mean, It was that or being deported to Afghanistan - he obviously thought a boat journey was better than taking his daughter to “safe” Basra.

That’s sort of besides the point really, though, no?

If you’re tasked with maintaining a structure (lol) you can be expected to perhaps attempt to know where all the bits you’re responsible for are aren’t you?

But then again, Severn-Trent uses dousing rods to find water mains so who knows what they he’ll they’re actually doing.

This is pretty much the main reason I’m struggling! A few bucks a month for GCN was amazing - now I’m stuffed!

Is it what AI is good at, or is it just that the image generation stuff is where the focus has been because it’s more accessible to non-tech literate?

I’ve found that breaking cables is a personal issue. I still have an old usb Xbox 360 controller for pc gaming from when I owned an xbox. My partner has destroyed cables for laptops, hairdryers, headphones in less than 12 months.

Some cables are objectively worse than others (macbook chargers I’m looking at you) but a modicum of care generally is enough to make sure they last without too much hassle.

And, you know, a society in which your parents bank balance and the school you get sent to is the single biggest indicator of your future successes.

Brexit was just some real end-game shit for them to cement their authority over us little folk.

How does the law require them to be greedy?

I just assumed that it was shareholders.

So it’s likely that I’ll have 2-5 people accessing the central info.

It’s one household so they’ll be on the same network but ideally I’d like to be able to sync calendars (and the associated info) at any given time online.

That’s where I run out of knowledge, essentially. Setting up a basic CalDAV server (like Baikal for example) isn’t beyond the realm of possibility, it’s just knowing how to actually get it online.

Would I need my own server in my home, or can I host it similarly to my Wordpress website, for example?

Yeah, CalDAV looks like the best fit from my limited searching, it’s just actually putting that into a usable system that I can use that I’m struggling with!

I don’t mind a bit of proprietary-ness, what I’m after is controlling how and with whom I can share my data.

Essentially the goal is to have a family’s worth of accounts with Calendars, To-Dos/Reminders, and Notes that I can back up myself but still allows syncing to phones/PCs, etc. and basically a central calendar for ‘global’ (ie. Whole family) events.

I went to the wrong church…

And even better than that, they tailor their flavorful food for our palettes!

Fantastic.

If you can afford to fail it becomes astronomically easier to throw ideas around, turn them into real things and see what sticks.

What are you using to browse lemmy?

In any case I was trying to link to matrix.org
