• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're called leaves for a reason.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I deal with 3 massive city-owned (and admittedly beautiful) removedapin oaks and two privately owned red maples on a 1/3 acre lot. If the leaves don’t get removed then everything dies as a result of the acidity and thick leaf cover that wont fully decay before the next autumn. There is no room for a compost pile of that size considering that the leaves couldnt make up more than half of it. I’m not a fan of grass lawns but the city and the HOA have to give the ‘okay’ before a lawn change can be made.

  Spend most of your waking hours acting as a different person for insane amounts of money and the adornment of millions of people you’ve never met. -I’m sure that never causes problems.

  To my knowledge upgrading to the newer release of any of those linux distros did not cost any money to the users.

  I see that you too have heard the prophecy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do public schools not teach keyboarding anymore? I ask because I had a keyboarding classe two-hrs 1day per week in grade school plus a full class one year in 7th grade and then again for a full year in high school, and they were always taught by some of the oldest teachers in the school. -My high-school teacher started his career teaching typewriter typing something like three or four decades prior to teaching me in 2004. It seems strange that new young people aren’t getting that same basic education.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Businesses have more money than individual citizens. You will get what you want from the U.S. government when we get money out of politics -Full-stop.

  It’s certainly been a long drawn-out mess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I Just got falsely accused of downvoting someone yesterday. I had chose to give them a second downvote to prove that the first one didn’t come from my account. I admit, I have always been curious about the specific sources of votes but If I’m being completely honest, I don’t think actually knowing would leave me better off. I think people already read too much into these votes in the first place and it gives the ego-maniacs too much to obsess over.

  Cellular enabled cars are dumb. That’s a hill I’m willing to die on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LAPD warns residents after spike in burglaries using Wi-Fi jammers that disable security cameras, smart doorbells⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If a burglar is using a wifi-jammers then the basic consumer is not going to be able to stop said burglar. Basic consumer security products aren’t designed to do anything more than keep honest people honest. It’s much harder & more expensive to prevent a determined criminal from gaining entry and would likely require rethinking housing construction from the foundation up.
