  • I've used the 2720 and it's pretty good. Battery life will be nothing like the old days since it has 4G to contend with. Call quality and hotspot if necessary is decent but is a battery drain. The camera, like most dumbphones, is practically useless. How you like it will depend on whether you like KaiOS, but for the most part it functions fairly well.

  • Largest 100 Australian student loan debts revealed
  • Probably medical degrees etc. However, if I were to do a masters in CS it would be 70k so my total debt would be up to something like 110k. Thus, if I do a masters it will be a cheap US-based one I can cashflow because that's just a stupid amount of debt.

  • It's weird that there isn't a US-specific Lemmy instance
  • Yeah I assume the reason there isn't is because the general ones are US-centric by default and then everyone else has to have somewhere specific to go. But I guess if they want their own dedicated place too why not?

  • 5 years - Keep Off Pounds Sensibly (KOPS)
  • I'm lucky my brother and a couple of friends are on a similar journey and go to the same gym at the moment. On the grind as soon as I get back from Thailand (Thai food is too good to calorie count.)

  • [vent] does anyone else get frustrated at larger folks who want to lose weight?
  • It is a little annoying to see the volume of food they can eat but it's always going to be annoying. I'm a little taller than average so my maintenance is closer to 2100 at the moment but I still look at my brother needing 2700 and get jealous. At the end of the day you'd both be hungry eating under your maintenance.

  • What always helps me is remembering that: hunger feels good -- desire feels good -- food tastes better when you're properly hungry
  • I think that for me it is sometimes good to feel proper hunger because I often just eat so frequently that I won't feel it for a long time. Allowing myself to feel hunger is then a healthy thing because it allows me to redistinguish between actual hunger and my stomach just having more room. I wouldn't want it on a regular basis though.

    ground.news Britons’ trust in politics has fallen significantly since Covid, report finds

    The British public’s trust in the political system has fallen significantly since the pandemic, potentially as a result of recent political scandals, according to a report from a leading think tank. Just 6% of the public have full trust in the current political system, while 89% support constitution...

    Can't say I'm shocked.

    Do you think prizes dedicated to certain groups remain useful? Is this prize something you'll be paying attention to or is your TBR pile already full?

    Anyone have trouble getting into Oathbringer?

    The WoK was a 5 star read for me, WoR a 3 star and now I'm struggling to get properly into Oathbringer. I think I'm on chapter 10. Anyone else have this problem? Does it get more interesting or am I just not a Sanderson person?

    Comment count inaccurate

    Sometimes a post will say on Jerboa that there is one comment but on the post none is visible. Is this a problem with Jerboa? Is it because the commenter may not be federated with my instance? Or is it a problem with Lemmy?

    What are you currently reading in Nonfiction?

    I just finished L'Âge des low-tech by Philippe Bihouix and am currently reading The Harlem Rennaisance by Cary D. Wintz which I picked up at a hostel.

    Asking non-Americans to pay in USD

    Currently in Egypt and they just asked us to pay in USD cash for an added activity but, not being American, we don't have USD. We have the local currency and the ability to get that out at ATMs, but no way to access foreign currency. So annoying but they accepted local in the end.

    X280 Won't turn on

    Hi, my X280 just suddenly won't turn on. It was left on a bed alone so no physical damage. When plugged in the charging indicator is solid white after flashing white 3 times. I've tried turning it on with the battery out but plugged in. I've also tried draining the CMOS battery (unplugged CMOS and the battery and held the power button down for 10 seconds before plugging everything back in.)

    I'm wondering now if it could be a problem with the power button? The laptop is dual booting Fedora 38 and Windows 11 if that helps and wasn't powered off but went into sleep/hibernation before this behaviour. Is it somehow stuck in sleep mode? I have had some issues with sleep to wake being slow/finicky before.

    I have access to a screwdriver set and isopropyl alcohol. What would my next steps be?

    Share your Hugo site!

    Post a link to your site and what it's about here!

    For me I write book reviews, speculative and nonfiction, at my blog. It's using a colour-altered version of the Archie theme.

    What's some features you'd like to see added?

    To get the ball rolling on the community, the title question.

    Personally, I'd like a simple way to 'add' it to the fediverse. All of the example ways I've seen so far have looked pretty complicated (but to be fair I haven't really tried.)

    Beehaw defederation means this is now the largest book sublemmy accessible

    Beehaw has decided to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. I believe it was already separated from lemmygrad. I think this makes this community the largest one accessible to the most instances whereas before [email protected] was. I guess we'll have to make the most of it!
