I was working in my (poor third world) government job, and our keyboard broke. Replacements took months, since they only bought mouse and keyboards in bulk once per year or so, and they ran out of.

I had a second job working as a contractor for a private company, where we were contracted for a public hospital providing system administration and technical support. We had some old PS2 keyboards that were to be decommissioned, but since they didn't have inventory number, I got hold of them and brought some to my other job.

So I donated some equipment from one area of government to another, but it was kinda illegal, lol 😆.

Sennheiser headphones that I bought for about $20 about 10 years ago. The cable is indestructible. I once had to resolder it to the speakers because it my cat pulled it out, but the cable itself has endured all kinds of abuse without breaking. And the sound is fantastic.

I don't have a story, but I have a setting that's been really underutilized.

We, as a species, were nomadic for hundreds of thousands of years. We had tens of thousands of years of cohabitation with other hominids, intermingling, making important and powerful discoveries, exploring, etc.

And there's no one using that for a story?

The only stories about that time that I see are about dumb cavemen or ice age migration.

These people had the same mental capacity that we have now. They had culture, rituals, trade, interesting things.

So yeah, a story set in the prehistoric times.

Tomb of the Necrodancer is a rythm rogue like which is very unique, imo.

I just think that lemmy.world tries really really hard to be reddit.

I think it would be auctioned and sold to the highest bidder.

It's Monsanto, not Montesanto.

I understand the reasoning but I think it's not the same situation as lemmygrad, which I feel is a normal instance with an ideological bent. Exploding heads is just violent propaganda. I hope you defederate.

What about hexbear? Is programming.dev federated with them? Or are they intentionally defederated with everyone?

The other day I saw a talk made by one of the wiki media guys, that talked about integrating LLM with knowledge graphs. It was very cool, I'll try to find it again.

Edit: found it! https://youtu.be/WqYBx2gB6vA

I'm in south America and there's a lot of plant based burgers available. And you know what? The cheapest costs double of a 100% beef burger.

Coincidentally, the half beef, half soy protein burgers are half price of 100% beef burgers, 1/4 of full plant based burgers.

Why is that? The half soy burgers are made by the same companies as the full beef burgers, might be related to economies of scale?
