Wow almost 9 years old, but I hadn’t seen this before so thanks for posting.

Socks are always a good stocking stuffer. Also candy, bathroom products, cards, etc.

This hasn’t happened to me but probably because my computer doesn’t support Windows 11 (it doesn’t support TPM)

Macs also make you put your password in all the time for updates, installs, etc. Laymen seem to use macs just fine

I don’t have an answer to your specific question, but honestly I think learning to subscribe to a community is a really important “tutorial” on using lemmy/reddit. Otherwise they might not understand how to get to each one. You also could just have them look at the local feed so they wouldn’t even need subscriptions.

I personally haven’t used it yet but I believe you can do all this with Matrix (choose your client - probably Element).

Changes in terms of service regarding AI (artificial intelligence), changes in the block feature and the presence of so many bot-like ‘impression zombie’ accounts are viewed negatively by Japanese users

But, X is still incredibly important in Japan and Bluesky isnt a serious threat to it culturally right now.

X is still a major, major news source for Japanese users, so it really won’t slow down anytime soon. Newer platforms like Threads or Bluesky really don’t have any meaningful adoption or use for brand marketing in Japan — yet

I actually have not plugged it into the car yet. I thought I remembered apps showing up in the carplay settings immediately after downloading, but maybe that’s not the case. I’ll report back after I’ve tried.

Many data centres use water-based systems to cool the plant with towers evaporating the heat, like a huge perspiration system, which means that the water is lost. It also has to be drinking quality because impurities can damage the servers.

If anyone was curious like me.
