in technology@lemmy.world•SanDisk introduces the first 8TB SD and 4TB microSD cards - Liliputing

I feel like this is a product looking for a market. Why would anyone ever trust that much data to something so fragile and easy to lose?

And after you spend 14 hours filling it with data, it falls out of your shirt pocket when you lean over to tie your shoe, gets caught by a gust of wind, and is gone forever.

in apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world•Macbook Air wireless card replacement?

I am having this exact same problem on my MacBook Air running Ultramarine Linux, a Fedora derivative.

I finally gave up and plugged in a Panda USB Wi-Fi adapter. Not ideal, but it works.

I’m a huge fan of Joplin. It runs on everything and syncs to either your or their cloud. Been using it for a few years now.

Are we really complaining about gendered pronouns in source code notes for a web browser?

Is that what we are doing?

There are mountains of bigger fish to fry, y’all. Social change doesn’t happen overnight. It can take decades or longer.

Widespread language changes have historically taken decades or even centuries to occur.

Ask any woman or person of color over the age of 50 about the CONSTANT slights or worse endured every day for most of their lives for some perspective.

Fight the good fight, absolutely, but this isn’t worth getting angry over - at least not from what I’ve read so far.

in linux@lemmy.ml•Is it possible to replace the wifi card on a Macbook pro 11,2 (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)? If so, are there any compatible wifi cards with open source drivers for Linux?

I got tired of fooling around with mine and just plugged in a Panda USB Wi-Fi adapter. It’s ugly, but reliable.

Fuck Israel right in the ass with a 2x4.

They have become the very genocidal monster that they were once the victims of.

Fuck Israel.

“Hevy” is the name of the Clone Trooper from The Clone Wars that the computer is named after. That’s his helmet pictured in Neofetch, along with his famous quote, “You didn’t say ‘Please!’”

All of the computers I manage are named after Clone Troopers.

It IS accessible. SVG is a standard format that can be opened by any number of different programs across multiple operating systems.

Just because you chose not to install one of those programs is not my problem.

I don’t get mad when I need to open a pdf but I don’t have a pdf reader. I install a fucking pdf reader.

Get off of your horse, dude.
