  • You actually think there’s children on Lemmy? Young children? Maybe there is but I get the feeling that kids aren’t likely to give a shit about the Fediverse.

    I’m here out of principle, but also because I genuinely like it of course. I haven’t exactly seen any children’s influencers using the fediverse or proselytizing about it though. What is there to draw them here?

    I’d genuinely be amazed if there was more than a handful of under-10 kids on here. I’d love to be proven wrong though.


  • The sheer power of forklifts is unbelievable. Consider what we’re looking at for a moment. That was likely an ~8000lb lift going ~ 5mph that did this. A blunt metal fork straight through a steel beam. The absolute danger of a careless driver on a forklift is rarely understood.

    I loved being a forklift trainer but the stupid shit the other trainers got away with when teaching people was unreal. No appreciation for the magnitude of the responsibility of driving those machines. The trainees suffered for it. Fucking human wrecking balls driving around the warehouse.









  • I certainly have. I ride often enough.

    My knees were busted too. Took me a while to realize I was overtraining at the beginning. The ramp up to 5k took me 10 weeks when it should have taken 8 as I was all sorts of busted up after thinking I could just complete the goal early. I was wrong. Slow and steady won that race and every race after that in my experience. Injured myself a few more times on the way to 10k and again on the way to 21.

    I seem to have leveled out so next year’s goal is 42.2 for a full marathon distance.









  • Thanks for this. I’m kinda concerned about attempting this on my current machine. I’ve got it set up as a music studio PC with Steam as a secondary feature. It works great with all my recording peripherals so I’m hesitant to introduce additional complexity to it with these drivers. I’d like to move away from Win entirely but its not exactly a do or die situation for me right now.

    My linux install is on its own SDD separate from Win. I only use WIN for simracing and counter-strike so that use case is very limited. Also I don’t think iRacing’s anti-cheat runs on Linux yet? I’ll have to investigate.
