Back up whatever data you want physically on your computer before doing anything. While still using your Mac os, take an external drive you are okay to wipe clean, then reformat it to an .ExFat file type (so both computers can read the drive easily)

I haven’t experimented too much with different distros, but I would say Ubuntu has a Macintosh feel to it to me. Linux mint is what I use for my gaming PC, and it works fine, but between Ubuntu’s and Mint’s terminals, I like Ubuntu’s way more. It’s a bit pedantic, but I just prefer it that way

The Real World is an ongoing reality show on MTV. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was in the 1997 season that took place in Boston Massachusetts.

I read through the non paywalled link and I couldn’t find any info on if this analysis adjusts for inflation or not. 17 times larger (before inflation possibly) seems so ripe for cherry picked data points in the name of sensationalism, that I wanted to confirm this one idea, and I didn’t. Did anyone else find anything like that?

This puts into words what I’ve been feeling more and more over the years. I felt that Reddit had developed some sort of language all its own (thanks for the gold kind stranger, happy cakeday, etc), that felt off to me. On top of that, the sensationalism, and the ever increasing political echo chambers, and then closing the API access to force everyone onto their own app out the final nail in the coffin for me. I’m not off reddit entirely, but I’ve gone read only and only on a computer. Lemmy seems more organic, and genuine to me

I was just thinking “maybe I can just give them my email…” but of course it isn’t that simple

As a software engineer, I would think to call this a patch or a hotfix. I agree that recall for this type of situation is a bit too dramatic, but I’d also say that patch or hotfix are too casual sounding

Noteworthy composer has a free edition that I’ve used before. It was somewhat basic, but it gets the job done

I have been exposed as a fraud and I will take my punishment! j/k, but worth noting

As part of AWS? S3 stands for “simple storage solution” and it is used for storing data in the cloud. A typical s3 setup has a “bucket” which would act like a folder directory on your computer. At that point it can be pretty much however you want to set it up. In theory it can store anything, as long as it can be converted into a binary string, I believe. I havent worked in AWS in a few years, but I recall it being easy enough to use for storing files when handling file transfers with other microservices like Lambdas. You just need to configure a few things, like the bucket name, the “file name” (I say it that way, because you dont necessarily have to store files - and anything stored in s3 has to be converted to that binary string), and the

It can be even more than just simple storage when used with other microservices, the possibilities can be endless

As someone who recently switch to Lemmy, I did notice that there is a general difference in the tone of conversation. This is the first time I’ve seen it put to words

Hi, I am a musician (thought almost entirely with using bass clef). I’m not sure I understand what you are transcribing. Are you trying to change the song into a different key, or are you just trying to write out the song as it would be in sheet music?

And just for full disclosure, I am not familiar with this song, so I can’t comment on the accuracy of it how it’s written
