Yup, and it’s S-Q-L not sequel (🤢)

Oh hey now there’s an idea! I could probably 3d print a little cover too!

Thanks! If there was such a thing as gold on Lemmy I’d give you some, but there’s not so you’ll have to settle for this 🥇

And to think, MS could have done the same damn thing

I mean I got 6 of em for free, and ya can’t beat free LMAO

I actually had been putting off cracking one open for awhile now but the SSDs in them had been failing one by one and I’m on the last one now lolol

Took a look at the ifixit for the steam deck OLED, honestly it doesn’t look bad at all. I’ve removed lots of screens from phones and other tablets and such, and this looks no worse than those.

But man, MS really went out of their way to make the screen impossible to remove without cracking it on this one. There’s a ridiculous amount of adhesive and coupled with the glass being really really thin… 😅 Yea it’s a shit show when even the ifixit team can’t even get some photos for their teardown without a shattered screen lol

That’s actually a really neat window lol, I kinda want one now xD

But are you sure it doesn’t open? Maybe you need to hold a crystal to it at the right time of day so that sunlight gets focused by it and opens a secret portal to another better timeline!

Me and some friends wrote an outline for a zombie movie years ago from the viewpoint of the zombies. They see themselves as cultured and “normal” while the living are viewed as savages who waste their lives working, keeping up with the Jones’ and addicted to stupid stuff like reality TV. It would have been done in the style of The Office/What We Do In the Shadows, with a film crew following around a small group of Zombies who explain their lives. The zombies would have a very close-knit socialist/utopia type lifestyle while us stupid living lived in a right-wing 'murica hellscape.

If I was rich, I would be signing over a 500M budget over to you right now

Sadly, I’m just a Lemming :'(

You know what else is X? MY MOM WOOOYEAAAA

Lol sure, it has absolutely nothing to do with the authoritarian regimes they worship that are just Communists-In-Name-Only/s

The receipts

It’s by Sako Asko, https://www.instagram.com/sakoasko but the original doesn’t have any words to it, it looks just like a template already lol

It’s the artist’s thing, they also made the crying guy in shallow water meme

I’m hoping that !meshtastic@mander.xyz will need to a rebirth of that sort lol

That doesn’t sound unusual, it’s probably the heat they wanted

Interesting, I actually just adjust the volume knob on my desktop speakers so I didn’t think of this when I wrote the meme.

But now I kinda wanna see if I can hijack this monitoring it does and fake 100% volume to the application at all times…hmm welp to the mile long project list it goes!

Tl;Dw?

Try to pivot to contract/consulting IT work, it’s more of a PITA because you have to take care of things like health insurance on your own, but it might be a tad easier to pick up work that way since companies are always more willing to drop a grand or 2 here and there over hiring someone that needs commitment, benefits, support, training etc.

Thanks a billion!

An hour late :( lmao

This is a little confusing because you also re-post* questions from non-.ml users. [example] [example] [example] I guess you mean you’re copying questions that were posted by people on any instance to communities hosted on lemmy.ml. Yes?

Yea, I only monitor .ml comms, specifically I monitor the RSS feed provided by .ml

*(I say re-post because you do it without using the cross-post feature, so we can’t see the sources.)

I think I now understand what you’re trying to do, but I’m skeptical. As someone on the receiving end of your copypasta, what I see is a flood of posts from a single account dominating some of the forums that I frequent. The pattern resembles that of a bot, casts an unauthentic tint on the content of your posts, and makes the signal-to-noise ratio of the receiving communities look pretty bad.

This is only true for text-only posts, like this and is why I prepend with the “Original question by”. Articles/memes/images do in fact show in the crosspost menu chain

Even as someone who prefers to avoid the tankie instances, I suspect that what you are doing is likely more harmful than helpful to the other ones. I have been considering unsubscrbing because of it. And, since you are bridging content from the problematic place, I think a case can be made that your effort is counterproductive to your own goals. After all, why would people migrate away from lemmy.ml if they know they can post there and have their words reach other instances as well?

The vast majority of users…just don’t care, they simply follow where the activity is. I do monitor data points where I can, when I began months ago .ml memes would hover between #13-16 ranking among the Threadiverse. Now? ~30, .ml traffic overall is down. When I started, each morning I’d have to sift through 6-7 pages of new posts. Now it’s < 3

Ofc, I’m doing many other things behind the scenes as well contributing to that. But overall, considering the bulk of what is reposted isn’t text-based, it’s been fairly positive

As an alternative, might I suggest contributing your time to boosting awareness and membership of non-ml communities? This would be a more organic approach, and perhaps slower, but I think the results would be better. Take !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com for example. It was pretty quiet until recently, but after a little promotion and participation from a few interested people, activity there seems to be rising quite a bit.

Oh believe me, I’m taking a multifaceted approach. Individual reach out, OC content, organically sourced articles, harvesting of “The Bad Place”, documentation and promotion

I often aim for a 1-2 ratio, for every 1 crosspost I try to contribute 2 posts of “organic content”, however that is subject to fluctuation, since this is filled from my hobby time. The weekend particularly has the least free time to dedicate
