would it be possible to live in the modern world only using a laptop?? no cellphone anything
  • There'd be a few times it would be really inconvenient.

    For example some concerts only allow tickets from the Ticketmaster app, not even a printed ticket. Though possibly showing the ticket on the laptop would work but then I'm not sure they'd let you bring a laptop into a concert.

  • New Smile Album, Single

    I'm pretty excited for this album, I feel the two tracks we've gotten so far are really great and a bit different from the first album.

  • Is there any kind of printed Warhammer community? I'm starting up an ork army and looking for good models. Leaning towards station forge but they are definitely a different aesthetic.

  • CUPE statement on violence in Palestine and Israel
  • Even within unions it can be bad. I was in a union and the company did something against the contact so I talked to the union reps. They told me I shouldn't grieve because the company gets mad at me, but I insisted so they said they'd look into it and get back to me. A month later they said they asked but found out there is a three week window so I missed it.

  • How does healthcare work in your country?
  • Not the other poster but a Canadian too. It varies. To see my GP I can get an appointment within the week, usually same day, though most people here need to wait a couple weeks. Then there GP refers me to specialists, that's usually between 1-6 months wait.

    Emergency yeah you are usually looking at 4 hours wait absolute minimum. Though you don't get charged for it at least. Though I guess it depends on severity, they will prioritize by how serious it is not by first arrival.

    The other thing the other poster didn't mention is that medication is not covered so you have to pay full for that unless you have insurance. Also for some reason dental isn't covered at all without insurance (or I think recently for low income families but I'm not 100% sure if that's implemented yet or not)

  • Undo "hide read"?
  • I think what they are saying is: Lemmy itself has an option you set on your profile that shows or hides read posts. That'll apply forever no matter which client you use, but you can't even see your own posts that way so it's frustrating.

    Then the clients themselves, like sync, might have their own option to hide read that works independently of the Lemmy setting, in which case they should have more control over it.

    In my case I have Lemmy set to show read posts but sync set to hide them but like other people have said, it doesn't seem to work perfectly.

  • Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson
  • I liked it quite a bit for the first three quarters or so but I felt the end was a huge info dump. Normally he manages the world building in a way where it's not a huge leap to understand what had happened but in this case there were multiple layers of the narrator saying "oh, you're confused?! Of course you are! Here's an info dump about the cosmere".

    I've read everything cosmere, but I'm not very happy with the more recent books that expect cosmere knowledge to make the story enjoyable or even understandable. And I feel like he's getting pretty lazy with that lately (though maybe the secret projects not having a third party editor has something to do with it in this case)

  • S2E4 - Honeydew (Discussion)

    They can't afford anything, yet they send the baker on an international trip to learn molecular gastronomy?! He's gonna end up just making a dish his mom used to make anyway instead of anything fancy.

    TTRPG Talent Systems
  • WFRP (Warhammer Fantasy role play) has a fun system where there are lots of careers, but those careers have talent options. Each talent isn't limited to one career so there is overlap but the combination of talents and skills is what makes the careers unique.

    What's everyone reading this week?
  • I started and finished the first two Murderbot books from Martha Wells (All Systems Red, Artificial Condition). Reading the ebooks I didn't realize how short they were until I got to near the end. I guess they count as novellas? But it's nice to have something fun and easily digestible now and then so I'll start the third tonight.

    Children of Time was very good. There is a sequel, no? But I never read it.

  • eReader recommendations?

    I'm looking for an eReader that doesn't lock me into a particular ecosystem or format. Ideally I came just copy files over to it and have them work.

    Other than that, small physical dimensions and a backlight would be great!

    It's been years since I had one but in the market again and I'm not sure the current state of things. My old one was a Kobo and took files just fine.

    Machine to run Frigate NVR

    At the moment I've got frigate running on an old dell server through proxmox, writing to drives on that server, but they are shared with a lot of other services.

    I'd like to separate it and have a machine that is kinda just acting as a full NVR and writing to it's own drives.

    Anybody have any suggestions for one? Are the mini PC's any good or I guess they wouldn't hold enough drives to have plenty of storage.

    Getting started?

    Any suggestions on an easy way to get started? I'm not sure all the equipment I need and which is just nice to have, for example.

    Vaughan Exploring split from York Region

    Thoughts on if this would be good for Vaughan? To be honest I'm not completely clear on which services are currently provided by Vaughan and which by York Region.

    Bigwind Lake New Provincial Park

    Technically it was nonoperating before, but explicitly did not allow camping, and had really rough access, so this is nice. Though I was hoping the new park would have more canoe routes.

    Will Suggestions

    Looking to make a will. Anybody have any suggestions? Are online ones any good or do I need a proper lawyer? Things to look out for?

    The Smile - Bending Hectic

    Seeing as I couldn't find a community for The Smile, I figured people here would be interested.

    Personally I love it, and have since seeing it live. It's like the first 3/4 is "Bending" then the last is "Hectic".

    Best pizza in Vaughan

    I'm going to go against popular opinion here and say I wasn't very impressed with Taste of Naples. The guy was rude and the pizza expensive.

    I prefer pizza break. But my favorite is the Fortinos pizza!

    Best takeout for a picnic?

    Looking for suggestions for a place with good takeout to have at a picnic! Bonus points if you can recommend a park or nature area nearby to have the picnic as well.

    Frost Center / Algonquin Highlands Water Trails

    Anybody been to this area near Algonquin in Ontario? I can't seem to find a digital map of canoe routes other than the booking one.

    Edit: Turns out Jeff's Map (of Algonquin) actually has the whole area included!
