I mean, It was that or being deported to Afghanistan - he obviously thought a boat journey was better than taking his daughter to "safe" Basra.
Is it what AI is good at, or is it just that the image generation stuff is where the focus has been because it's more accessible to non-tech literate?
Regrettably I know many professionals whose grasp of written English is worse than OP's.
I've found that breaking cables is a personal issue. I still have an old usb Xbox 360 controller for pc gaming from when I owned an xbox. My partner has destroyed cables for laptops, hairdryers, headphones in less than 12 months.
Some cables are objectively worse than others (macbook chargers I'm looking at you) but a modicum of care generally is enough to make sure they last without too much hassle.
And, you know, a society in which your parents bank balance and the school you get sent to is the single biggest indicator of your future successes.
Brexit was just some real end-game shit for them to cement their authority over us little folk.
So it's likely that I'll have 2-5 people accessing the central info.
It's one household so they'll be on the same network but ideally I'd like to be able to sync calendars (and the associated info) at any given time online.
That's where I run out of knowledge, essentially. Setting up a basic CalDAV server (like Baikal for example) isn't beyond the realm of possibility, it's just knowing how to actually get it online.
Would I need my own server in my home, or can I host it similarly to my Wordpress website, for example?
Yeah, CalDAV looks like the best fit from my limited searching, it's just actually putting that into a usable system that I can use that I'm struggling with!
I (and plenty of people I know) regularly attend live music, with on the door prices that are equivalent to the cost of a few drinks. But equally I've been prices out of seeing some of my favourite acts because they're big enough to demand higher costs so I totally get where you're coming from.
I think what I'm getting at could better be phrased as; people don't want to see small acts much these days.
There's loads of acts like Ed Sheeran, but if you're into Ed, not just music like him, it's going to seem like it's impossible to watch it live, when in actuality there's a lot of gigging musicians who are out there with accessible performances.
I'm tired of being tied to specific calendars and to-do apps because of difficulties in sharing and syncing my data, so I'd like to be able to manage it myself, either self hosting or using someone else's servers.
I already pay for web-hosting for a personal website (wordpress) but beyond this I'm totally at a loss.
My main goal is incredibly simple - I just want to host some notes and calendars for my family (tomavoid headaches when phones invariably break and so on), which I feel can't be too hard but I'm also incredibly stupid.
Please help?!
That's partly it as well! It's fun to explore artists and genres who aren't super mainstream.
Although sometimes it's just artists who aren't likely to be that well known. I saw Asgeir in Bristol for less than £50 - he's pretty mainstream I'd say (>700k monthly listens on Spotify) - he just happens to be Icelandic and performing in his mother tongue at least half the time.
Not the original commenter, but it think they're not okay with it, just clarifying the situation...
I think a lot of the issue is that people aren't seeing as much music.
My fiancée saw Taylor Swift in London years ago when she was a country act and yeah it wasn't cheap but she could afford to go as a teenager with a weekend job who happens to enjoy country music.
The acts people want to see are all huge by the time a lot of people would bother going to see them and they know they can charge insane prices for tickets because people will pay. It's the same for theatre. There's tonnes of awesome stuff you can see for peanuts (relatively, depending on your location) but people will still pay through the nose to see The Cursed Child™.
If you want to see live music (of any genre) you can - it's cheap and easy. But you might have to go to a small cramped venue or see someone you've not heard of. Or seek out smaller acts before they become huge industry behemoths.
And even better than that, they tailor their flavorful food for our palettes!
Fantastic.
Traditional porridge is amazing. Just with a little salt added it's the most fantastic breakfast food.
What's the countryside got to do with shitty governance and disability policy?
If you're a billionaire you're exploiting people - It's literally impossible to become a billionaire without exploiting others.
If you can afford to fail it becomes astronomically easier to throw ideas around, turn them into real things and see what sticks.
What are you using to browse lemmy?
In any case I was trying to link to matrix.org
I'd bloody love to be earning half that 😂 at least I know now that I'm not in the 1%.
Bring out the guillotine I guess!
I have a Lenovo Tab P11 (Gen 2), which while not being that old seems to have been entirely superceded, to the point that I can't seem to find stock of the only compatible stylus listed on their website (well, that isn't approaching £90 or shipping from China in Ebay- the RRP being something like £40)
Are there any decent universal styluses that can be bought for a decent price that will write well enough to be worth the cost? To my knowledge the Tab P11 isn't USI compatible, unfortunately so I understand that my options may be limited here!

I've been looking at 'Bridge Phones' which would let me ditch my (rather large) Android device for something much smaller that won't significantly reduce my ability to use some key apps (Signal, Spotify, OSMAnd+, and some activity tracking apps).
Does anyone have any thoughts on this device?
I'm not bothered by not having cameras, and it looks like this fits the bill, being a smaller version of the F22 Pro as far as I can tell.
