I was joking unfortunately, I don’t have a Land Rover. However a close relative of mine has a Discovery 2 (2.8L i5 Diesel, TD5 engine) and sure, it’s a damn solid and capable vehicle, when it’s running.

My god, doing any work on it requires custom tools (that relative fabricated his own spanner tool to hold the radiator fan while undoing its locking nut), a custom aftermarket computer to do basic functions you’d typically do via OBD (talking about the proprietary Nanocom, car isn’t compatible with OBD2) and extra effort for the odd engineering choices made (coolant system runs through the oil system, separating some part of the motor to service this immediately mixes your oil and coolant).

When that relative bought it I was pretty onboard with getting a Land Rover, maybe a Freelander or Discovery 1, but after his experiences I’d never touch one. No thank you, I will stick to my small Japanese cars.

You leave my Land Rover’s proprietary oil check system out of it!

Well don’t leave us hanging - what game is it? Let’s Lemmy hug the game

As I see it, yes.

My god, the onion article from yesterday was not actually a total joke? What the hell does it even mean when you don’t believe the onion article when it’s actually true?

What the heck is it? Looks like a guinea pig but that’d be good work on the piggie’s part to get up there

OP, I’ve been here before and walked this path - it’s not one I advise anyone to take.

Minecraft and other video games are fun, especially with friends, but you have to have your priorities sorted first before indulgence. Do you want your degree, or do you want your degree? If you imagine yourself successful in 5 years time in the profession you’re studying for, how bad do you want it?

Minecraft in class won’t get you there, and will in fact hamper you. Unlike school, no one will stop you because the lecturers aren’t paid to give a fuck about your success - they just lecture and it’s on you to take notice.

My intention isn’t to shame you, I just see myself 5 years ago in this image and while I bounced back, it was years of hard work on myself.

If you’re finding yourself zoned out in lectures, you need to find study habits that work for you, and you have to be in the right headspace. You’re very capable of completing this degree, you just have to do it.

Take your mental health seriously if you don’t already, and work with student counsellors on study habits. They are paid to answer questions like “I feel zoned out in lectures, how do I keep engaged and not fall asleep to this guy?” and “How can I have a healthy balance of games and study?”

While that’s respectable, just link the original meme in the post body - if I want to see a meme on my phone, I want the whole meme and nothing but the meme.

MSFM 2000 was the one (and only one) that I’ve played, and unfortunately no, it just pauses the game right on impact.

That’s what emulation is for!

Maybe for the positions you may have been in; had I used Linux at any of those other jobs there would constantly be document compatibility issues between LibreOffice and Word, and in an IT position I wouldn’t be able to replicate issues a user is facing, unable to read Windows memory dumps or event logs on my own machine, the RMM doesn’t have a client for a tech to use on Linux, and that’s just scratching the surface.

The benefits of Linux for me (no ads, no telemetry, familiarity of the terminal and config files, open source, privacy, sticking it to big tech, etc.) just don’t translate into things that would make me more productive at work.

None of my desk jobs have ever allowed a personal computer because of the risk of data leaking.

Was cautioned about an employee at our competitor who used a personal device, it was stolen and it had client data on it including some of their IP, and when that client took legal action, because the employee acted out of company policy they were on the hook for it.

I would say that !selfhosted@lemmy.world is leaking, but I think most of the communities here tend to leak into each other anyway

That’s actually a valid point. I guess for me personally, I have a line somewhere between using a meme template (especially when it’s actually used in such a relevant manner) over typing “Hey ChatGPT, make a meme about how a TV presenter says autistic people will never pay taxes with an autistic child watching, and in the next pane have said autistic child dance around happily with money flying around in the background”

That being said, that line is only of my personal preference and isn’t really based on a hard logical rule.

To actually answer your question, it’s likely this dinghy has an aluminum floor or structure, and that ‘bollard’ would be an anchor tie-off point.

I wouldn’t know much more than that and I’m sure I’ve used some terms wrong, I just know that my father’s Naiad dinghy is built this way.

The most egregious thing with pretty much all the AI memes I’ve seen so far has to be that it’s not even that hard to find (or heck, piece images together to make) a meme template that would have worked with 5 minutes of effort.

It’s nothing but fake eyecandy for a mediocre joke.

It’s not unfortunately, there’s a date of 09/12/2024 under the original tweet
