Good ways of meeting new people?
  • People who do the drogs have very elaborate and often inclusive social structures around them.

    Sorry, if this is a stupid question, but what do you mean by "drogs"? Do you mean drugs? Are you recommending taking drugs in a social context?

  • Vegan hotdogs // Veggie "Completo Italiano"
  • Will a vegan hot dog probably not be as tasty as the real thing? Yeah

    I actually find the vegan alternatives taste better than the meat based ones (I'm thinking primarily about burgers, the vegan hotdogs/sausages I tried some years ago were borderline inedible).

  • Could linux breathe new life into a busted toaster laptop like mine?
  • I also have computer with similar specs, just with an SSD and without a graphics card (ie. only integrated graphics) and with a slightly less powerful processor. And it runs perfectly fine for me and I always considered it to be "medium-end". You can't play any of the modern AAA games, but for most other tasks it gets the job done without any problem.

  • Flashing the Kindle Paperwhite with a custom ROM

    This is a of a post made during a time where outgoing federation for lemmy.ml was broken. I hope lemmy.ml readers will forgive me for shoving my filthy little words under the shining gaze of their precious and observant eyes for a second time.

    I have a Kindle Paperwhite (7th generation). (Stallman weeps) It appears people generally customize their kindle beyond Amazon's original design by jailbreaking it. But I was wondering if I could replace the entire system on the kindle by a new one, for even more hacking fun.

    It appears Kindle Paperwhites run on ARM processors, so there should be plenty of compatible software. However, it appears flashing the ROM of kindle only appears in the context of something called the Kindle Fire. Why is that? Is there any reason ROM flashing for the paperwhite kindles isn't common? The only reasons I could think of is that disassembling and reassembling the kindle paperwhite is kinda annoying (especially with the glue holding the case together) and that maybe not everyone has a board to externally flash ROMs. I've also thought that maybe the ROM is write-protected or that the software is signed and that the Kindle will refuse to boot off of anything that hasn't received Jeff's blessing. Is there any existing guide on flashing a custom ROM? Have any ROMs been created already?

    Maybe my foolish self has not searched good enough and hasn't found the discussions on ROM flashing of other kindle models, but in any case I think it's good to have this discussion on here on Lemmy too even if it potentially already exists somewhere else on the internet, so that other fools like me may come across your wisdom and be enlightened.

    If this is complete and utter nonsense what I'm babbling about, can I at least somehow download the firmware and software running on the kindle from the device, so that I may poke and probe it with my disgusting, dirty little fingers, defiling Amazon's intellectual property?

    I hope that you have a good day and that the following days be good too. If I am stupid for even mentioning the idea of a good day, I wish that some day our suffering may end and that a good day be something we all can look forward to.

    People who struggled with procrastination and now stopped, what made you stop procrastinating?

    People who struggled with procrastination and have now stopped, what made you stop procrastinating? What do you think were the factors leading or contributing to your past procrastination and how did you stop or improve the situation?

    Please don't answer with the "I'll tell you later" joke.

    I don't see the backups in my drive, but I also want a copy of them on my desktop.

    What meals do you know which aren't too time consuming to prepare (or if they are last for a very long time), are cheap and whose ingredients are easy to acquire?

    Bonus if it isn't just mainly carbon-hydrates and if the ingredients don't need to be used immediately (unless the meal itself when done can last for many days).

    I'm getting tired of tuna masala spaghetti.
