Since this is DIY, you can fuck it up as badly as you want. The possibilities are endless!

Watch this guy’s video. He DIY restores a smashed iMac screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FStfdGjAwc

Excellent hack.

In case you’re a masochist like me and want a lot more work on your hands, then you could remove the whole laptop mobo and make its own case and make it more compact in the process.

I’ve done this recently to make a standalone machine out of a busted laptop. This can give you a single, more compact unit with all the parts inside. You can improve the cooling and noise too (by using desktop fans). You’ll maintain your laptop resale value too by not destroying the case and being able to put the mobo back in place in the future. Infact, with today’s ram prices, the reason I went down this route is because you can get broken laptops with soldered in DDR5 ram.

Thinking about the normal things people have to do is weird. No matter how powerful or rich or famous someone is, they still had to try on socks to see if the seam was uncomfortable, they have to wipe their butt, they have to do smell checks on their armpits, they have to agree with somebody that they “would like some oral sex please”, they have to apologise for spitting while eating and talking. Imagine the most powerful and influencial person you can think of, walking back and forth while trying new shoes and trying to figure out of they’re comfortable enough to keep for daily use.

What do you think of e-scooters?

Is there a podcast you subscribe to or something?

This is a huge gripe I have with the fediverse. They need to keep access open and let people decide for themselves what they want to ban from their own feed.

I think something was launched when the LemmyNSFW instance died, to carry on the torch. I don’t remember the name of the new instance but it shouldn’t be hard to find. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of other instances have de-federated from it though.

Trends are trending.

Levi makes good videos about these things. I enjoy following his channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19ZjMXZYq_Y

I’ve got news bud… Karma wasn’t real on Reddit either. Sorry to disappoint.

You can’t. You can’t make people like something just because you’ve discovered that it’s amazing.

My wife is a technophobe and makes a point of commenting on any time my selfhosted stuff doesn’t work right (even though it’s unrelated to my server, like our ISP shitting itself).

I’ve personally installed and logged into Jellyfin on all of my mother’s and wife’s devices and neither of them uses it and both go back to Netflix (with ads!).

My parents won’t use Signal and dont see the point of installing another app besides WhatsApp.

I’ve Ihad to install firefox+adblock on my father’s laptop and replace the desktop icon with an edge icon to get him to use it.

Even my brothers (who are as tech savvy as me) would not de-Google or start self-hosting after a year of me telling them how awesome it is, until they eventually discovered it for themselves.

You can’t make people. Tell them about it, introduce the idea and demo it. That’s all you can do.

They’re surprisingly expensive for what they are. I’ve been shopping for broken laptops like that for ages to use as an emulation console for my kids. Ended up going with a NUC/mini PC and that’s got a smaller footprint, better cooling, better IO and tends to be quieter.

My kids keep asking me if I played the same games when I was their age (Mario Odyssey, Sonic and Mario at the Olympics, Ori and the Blind Forest, etc). I keep telling them that I played other sonic and Mario games, but these specific ones didn’t exist back then. They’re still confused about WTF sort of ancient historical time that was. Same with their Android tablets and asking me if I had one as a kid.

Private 1 on 1 lessons? Would be unusual. I guess some people might.

I’m sure a lot of people take group classes for socialising as well as learning. That wouldn’t be unusual. I would probably recommend that for anyone looking for social interaction and meeting new people with common interests.

The dead ones are the keepers.

No judgement. People should enjoy what they like. No kink shaming… But damn, I ain’t brave enough to scope this out

Those dude doesn’t care if Swifties hear him. He fears nothing. Probably correct though.

Consider the carbon cost of manufacturing and distributing the drug too. The most carbon friendly thing you can do it store as much carbon as you can in your body. After you die we can seal you in a drum and throw it into an exhausted oil well.

It feels like an over correction. Therapy has been long since been badly stigmatised and people realise how much it can help. If someone feels therapy will help then that’s great. But it’s not a magical solution to every problem. And even if therapy is helping you, you need to do 90%of the work on yourself and therapy helps you untagle the last 10% that’s too difficult to handle on your own.

Every Frame a Painting… Come back to us

Not quite in the spirit of what you’ve asked, but I think this still applies:

Cold food. I have no problem with it. I get distracted by kids and my wife gets worked up about how I could come back to cold food and not heat it up. Doesn’t bother me.

Same food every day. I’ve spent years eating tuna sandwich and an apple for lunch every day of the working week. “Don’t you want variety?” Nope. I also used to bulk cook food. So even my dinner was the same every day. Didn’t bother me.
