Additional day 3: be overjoyed that you can just replicate your basic needs, so you now can work less (or not at all). All that free time! Think of all the projects xou could do!

Start by replicating junk food and beer and sloth around until the evening of Day 29, panic, make plans for some way to big Project for Day 30. Day 30 replicate stuff you need for the project. Before properly starting, realize you forgot to ~~buy~~ replicate some crucial stuff but ~~home depot is now closed~~ you've already used the replicas quota, be discouraged, overwhelmed, give up, promise "next month is going to be different!".

Second that notion about not being IBM. Currently on a quite new Carbon X1 (from '24), because my previous one (five years old) started having issues (internal monitor flickering, staying black for some time, keyboard falling apart...), which was in turn a replacement for a T430s. That was preceeded by a T400s. The T4x0s still run without issue, so I found quite the drop in quality from the Ts to the X1s, especially the keyboard.

All of those of course were no match for my trusty old T43, that was one beast of a machine.

I guess since most devices don't have removable batteries anymore, you'd be violating checked baggage regulations as they don't allow batteries. Not sure what the consequences would be, though.

Add gorgonzola or some other blue cheese, had one like that recently, and though I absolutely loathe Hawaii pizza, the pear and blue cheese combo blew me away.

Tried this with streaming from the cable box, and it did not work really well. Upgraded to a Pi 4, which now runs a full Kodi MediaCenter and is connected via Gigabit Ethernet to the cablebox. I use a Logitech harmony with an IR USB dongle, which was a bit clunky to get to work because it's old, there's probably much easier Bluetooth solutions available, or you can just use your phone as remote. All in all I fiddled around an afternoon to get the whole thing to work, there's tons of how tos on the web.

Mit achzisch Euro is der Prüjel aber auch jut bezahlt.

I would say that this is not just to blame on the Generation, but to large extents of how stuff is designed these days. It has been becoming harder and harder to control where stuff is stored, and to find it outside of the intended app, and this, IMHO is by design, to wrestle the control of your own device from your hands. Just look at how aggressively Microsoft is pushing one drive in its office suite, they want control over those documents so they can lock you into a subscription model.

Das ist der Weg. Ist ja nicht so, dass Privatisierung und Auslagerung von staatlichen Aufgaben im Großen wie in Kleinen versucht wurde und exakt immer eins von zwei Ergebnissen liefert: 1) Scheissifizierung des Angebots bzw. Nutzen für den Bürger (Bahn, Paketdienste) oder 2) am Ende höhere Kosten für den Staat weil Kapitalistenfirmen Kapitalistendinge tun, und die öffentliche Hand irgendwie immer sehr schlecht verhandelt. Beispiel hier im Kleinen: Kantine einer öffentlichen Einrichtung wird privatisiert. Nach einem Jahr "lol, Inflation!" wurden die Preise um im Schnitt 60% angehoben. Gebäudereinigung ähnlich.

Was die Jünger der unsichtbare Hand des Marktes immer verschweigen, ist dass diese Hand deren eigene ist, die vorrangig aufgehalten wird. Die Ineffizienz liegt in deren Augen darin, dass das ausgegebene Geld irgendwo an zu viele überbezahlte Beamte als Sold verteilt wird und nicht gesammelt bei denen als Gewinn aufläuft.

Nicht ganz, wenn die von Parteien kommen, die unter den 5℅ liegen, wird aus einer für die Sitzverteilung irrelevante eine dafür relevante Stimme. BSW->Linke ist ja durchaus vorstellbar. Wie viele von der FDP kommen...?

It is advanced access, however Firaxis did an announcement shortly after release, addressing the rocky release and promising to fix things, where they (accidentally) called it early access. It seems they changed that now, still, it was there (and was made fun of) in forums and other Lemmy like communities.

Wouldn't that be "hundreds of a thouseand"?

Civ 7 is Early Access (Firaxis called it like that themselves) and the founders edition is 130 bucks, so I guess this is becoming normalized...
