@joel I did this for a while. my findings: 1) eye strain and neck pain were the biggest problems for me. 3) height and hand positioning were the next biggest problems. 2) slower speeds with an incline made it easier to avoid issues. 3) after a few hours it was a bit much, and I didn't like standing on the treadmill when I wasn't walking. So I ended up swapping between desks to either walk or sit.
I did all this with a full size treadmill that became a permanent part of the standing desk. Maybe with the smaller modern treadmills and modern motorized desks, it'd be less of a hassle to swap between walking, standing, and sitting.
Over time I used the walking setup less and less and eventually just tore it down to get the space back.
@selea I am glad I could find a home here with no sign-up friction, but it is totally reasonable now to have an exclusive invitation filter, or an approval step. Now that the fediverse is more popular, commercial abuse will just get more and more common. You absolutely should take some steps to protect your own time and keep hosting fees reasonable.
If you wanted to accept donations so that you could cover hosting and also hire some moderators, that might make it more sustainable to have open access.
I miss when products were designed to be used and enjoyed instead of as bait to monetize attention.
@lauren If enacted, it may not disenfranchise the bloc of voters they are hoping it will. I seem to recall something similar happening in Arizona: https://www.justsecurity.org/103415/arizona-gop-noncitizen-voting-reversal/
When state republicans realized they accidentally disenfranchised their own voters, they changed their position. This makes it pretty clear that it was about victory and not integrity.
As far as I know there has been very little evidence of actual non-citizen voting occurring. When you look into it you find wild claims that turn into failed court cases.

it will be less hazardous if you drain the battery fully before you stop using it.
Plenty of recycling places in the bay area will take it (i think for free), or somebody might take it off your hands to replace the battery. It's not easy to replace them but it's also not super hard. Someone with $150 and a few hours might be delighted to take it: https://www.ifixit.com/products/macbook-12-retina-early-2015-battery
@lauren Apologies if you're past this already, I wonder if migrating from 4.2 non-docker to 4.2 docker might be more smooth, then 4.2 to 4.3 as a totally separate upgrade step? I imagine once you're on the docker version a lot of the complexity will be hidden, for better or worse.
Sarah Jamie LewisI'm someone who deeply appreciates the vibe of monotone screens, green on black, and ascii diagrams - I also think that there is some good to be found in transformer models (I've used stt models a fair bit, and found some use for code llms).
But Mozilla doesn't have a branding problem; it has a "keeps alienating supporters by pushing unwanted features onto their browser" problem.
@LilahTovMoon This is from a speech given on April 2nd 2024, so it's not even new.
It should be a career liability to stay on stage after a politician says something like that. Absolutely wild that this wasn't bigger news at the time.
@da_667 It's a Frito Lay product, should be available online. Often you can get the same packs that vending machine operators get. Whether that's a good idea or not is left as an exercise for each of us :D
