The US and Europe printed trillions during covid, and that barely caused a blip in inflation. Inflation only came after supply chains shock and the war. Like do some basic research, if I’m so obviously wrong it will be very easy to see…:

I still remember 2020 and 2022, it’s not that long ago. So Covid started to hit the US in spring 2020. And take a look at inflation rates:

Yeah, it took some time, but you really can’t deny that there was “barely a blip in inflation” and that it came only after the war started.

They are getting downvoted, because they are obviously wrong. Of course the government is “creating” the money. But it can’t just print money and spend it. Countless governments tried it and it always led to hyperinflation - and therefore the budget of course has to come from taxes

For everybody, who hasn’t that much of paperwork: I’m kind of doing the same, but without barcode stickers. Just scan the document into paperless and then stick it in a box or a folder. If you need the physical document sometimes in the future (which you won’t), paperless of course has the date of the scan / date of the document available. It then it quite easy to take your chronolocical sorted documents and find the one that came in on 2023-04-14

Which is kind of crazy, if you think about it: The federal budget is coming from taxes. So the deal is that Trump is destroying valuable services of federal institutions and only 20% of the “savings” are getting passed on? While normal people will have to pay for stuff like the weather forecast?

Just be patient. Those new GPUs are so new, expensive and rare that no game has them as target hardware. Stay on your current setup and wait until games are catching up and prices go down.

You could just use a computer without internet. Get something without a network card. But your use-case is quite bad as you still need access to the internet and you even want Facebook, Reddit & YouTube, which totally will send you into your doomscrolling dead spiral again.

So some hints:

• you can download YouTube videos and view them offline
• there are lots of ways to disable the internet or slow it down. Nothing will work when you’re the admin as you can and will disable them.
• if you get distracted doing your work, even black & white displays will not work. People totally didn’t do their work in the past and watched a lot of black&white television or even read some books

Exactly this - Join-Lemmy.org has some (minor) UI and text issues. I’m also not quite happy about the sorting of the instances and the selection there. If f.e. you chose “General -> English” during onboarding, you get this screen here:

Hexbear? Some random 11 user instance from finland? Lemmy.world nowhere to be seen? They are randomizing the instances, which kind of makes sense to prevent the bigger ones from growing even more, but which might confuse new users.

But those are minor UI quirks that can be solved. All those reddit couch warriors that claim that everything should be completely redone exactly how they want it to be are insane. Normal users are able to understand the concept of instances.

Oh :( Do you have some more information about that? Which directions are being debated?

From a photography perspective I’m not a fan of the background. Brown pseudowood combined with that dark plate is not doing much for me. I think that you could do better with a different background that would let the carrots pop out better.

And there seems to be a hair on one carrot, which totally shouldn’t be in food photography:

I’m really happy that the community stepped up and continued his great work.

Let me guess: Valve was not getting their cut from the ad money?

You might want to take a look at https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/ . That’s exactly what you want, but without Docker. It uses Proxmox / LXC / VMs and is really, really awesome for selfhosting.

You can also do a simple content filter. Using feddit.org as instance:

feddit.org##.d-sm-block.d-none > .post-container.row:has(.post-title:has-text(/trump|musk|puppies/i))

This will hide every post which has the words “Trump” OR “Musk” OR “puppies” in the title. Or if you don’t use Apple devices and don’t want to read about their new devices in every tech community:

feddit.org##.d-sm-block.d-none > .post-container.row:has(.post-title:has-text(/apple|iphone|macos|icloud|iOS|ipad/i))

It’s insane that people are not vaccinating their children against a threat like this.

Since every language seems to be dropping percentage-wise: What is the market Steam is growing so much in? India?

Is there anything fancy about the nozzle or is that just the general grift companies are doing with replacement parts?

First of all: Nozzles are replacable and they are also cheap. They are also wearing down with time. So if you worry, just replace the nozzle. And if you want to know if there is still filament stuck in there, unscrew the noozle and look at it.

It would be trivially easy to create an automoderator bot for that.

After everything Matt has been doing in the last months, I’m totally not excited to see anything he backs or pushes.
