bleistift2 , to asklemmy in How do you feel you've aged?

At the end of my 20s I can feel that I’m becoming stupider. Reading texts or just thinking about a problem take more effort than they used to.

BallsandBayonets , to asklemmy in Is it wrong to report email as spam when you previously opted out and they either add a new subscription/newsletter, etc.?

I applied to a job with a hotel once, now they send me regular emails about other unrelated jobs. But to unsubscribe I have to log in, and apparently applying to the job didn’t create a complete profile so I’d have to create an account just to unsubscribe.

They’re marked as spam now.

man probably said a slur, got his comment removed, and now dedicates his time to complaining about it

eezeebee , to asklemmy in Be honest: have you ever lost your temper with a customer service rep? And did it ever help?
@eezeebee@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes I have, and no it does not help. Always apologize and tell them it’s the situation, not them, that you are upset with.

I’ve done that job before and most likely they would help you if they could, but the company won’t train them or make any solutions available because it costs money. Your impression that they don’t know what they’re talking about is probably accurate.

Your best bet is to keep escalating to a higher department (“manager”, “office of the president”).

blaue_Fledermaus , to youshouldknow in YSK Americans, check to see if you can vote. Its real quick.
@blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io avatar

The USian system is so bizarre.

Here in Brazil everybody HAS to register when turning 18. The registration can get suspended if you miss an election without justification, but you get a fine for each time.

Voting is not a right, it's a duty.

ByteOnBikes OP ,

Absolutely!

It’s in the core fabric of the American system. Yet some conspiracy theory has made voting and the right to vote a difficult process.

Great, isn’t it? You just set up a system you like for you to use, without any bullshit.

Ceedoestrees , to asklemmy in Be honest: have you ever lost your temper with a customer service rep? And did it ever help?

In person at an apple store.

I bought an iphone used off a friend who stopped being my friend immediately after. I never wanted an apple product, but my phone broke, I was poor and he sold it to me for $50.

I didn’t know you needed the apple id and password to SIGN OUT of anything. I sent him messages, did the whole “click here to request a new password” thing so he would get an e-mail about it…to his apple e-mail which, let’s be honest, no one uses.

Not being able to use the full functionality sucked, but I could manage. What was worse was receiving pictures and messages intended for him.

I did what any sane person would do and brought it to the apple store. The first person who helped me repeated “Our security systems protect your privacy” so many times, no matter what I said, I lost my shit, shouted “I would like to sign out so I can stop seeing nudes of this guy’s girlfriend!”

They didn’t help and I bought an android.

jewbacca117 ,

iphones are decent devices from a security standpoint, but useless if someone is still signed in. Your former friend sold you a $50 brick

Ceedoestrees ,

It still worked as a phone.

Calling features “Security” when they significantly reduce the secondary market is a convenient way to increase profits.

30p87 , to showerthoughts in How transwomen/transmen dream

I rarely dream, and when I do, it’s either a nightmare or the most borderline trash imaginable. I dreamt once about myself, and it was about me being trans specifically.

RSS feeds maybe? Either host them yourself and have people use one of the many RSS feed readers out there. Or use RSS feed links for Mastodon users (e.g. social.kernel.org/users/torvalds.rss).

user_naa OP ,

It seems what I need but it is incompatible with ActivityHub, so cannot be followed or viewed in Fediverse (Mastodon)

Ab_intra , to nostupidquestions in How do you drive in Cyberpunk???
@Ab_intra@lemmy.world avatar

Haha. The driving in that game is horrendous.

2ugly2live OP ,
@2ugly2live@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve tried turning down the steering sensitivity, but no dice. I’ve been running on foot, or trying to see if I can get Jackie/NPC to drive. If not, I’m just creeping along on the highway, probably getting laughed at by NPCs

Thank you for the links!

clay_pidgin , to nostupidquestions in Where can I find rings with extremely rounded edges and half cylinders stacked above a flat band?

To clarify, are you talking about a finger ring, jewelery?

MajorHavoc , to asklemmy in How do you feel you've aged?

Are you radically different than your younger self?

Oh yes. Younger me was an intolerable little shit.

Are there key elements that have stayed the same? > Most parts?

Lots of stuff. Getting older is mostly additive, hobby wise. I’m just worse at all the physical aspects of each hobby.

Do you feel as if you’ve followed the “roadmap of life” or forged your own path?

I had a pretty clear plan and stuck to it. Make the pretty beep beep computer box dance, and charge people money for doing so.

Have there been “chapters” or do things all sort of slide into one contiguous flow?

Definitely separate chapters. 0-2: Literally full of shit. 2-22: Full of shit, because I didn’t know any better. 22-32: Full of shit, but working on improving. 32-42: Getting my shit together. 42-62: Still full of shit, after all that effort. 62-Dead: Probably still full of shit, honestly. Hopefully in a fun way, by now.

perishthethought , to mildlyinfuriating in Google and Big tech are unbelievably vicious!

I just signed into YT for the first time in ages to verify this, and you’re right - I am not “verified” with YT, so they won’t let me upload any custom thumbnails. You’re right to not want to give them your phone #, but then again, I imagine they did this because people will game the system, setting a misleading thumbnail for an otherwise unrelated video. (Set the title & image to say, “How to do X” but then the video tries to sell them something else entirely).

But in the end, it’s their platform, as crappy as it is, you have to work within their rules. This is why we need better options for uploading videos. I know you mentioned PeerTube, but have you tried one of these alternatives?

alternativeto.net/software/youtube/

anticurrent OP ,

I might try peertube one day, even though I am not sure it is the plateform with the best audience for tutorials, I had the impression that most content on there is either political or just content creators making backup accounts in case youtube terminates theirs for no reason.

cheesymoonshadow , to asklemmy in [Serious] Best Pee Strat
@cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world avatar

I agree with the others – stay hydrated and maybe drink coffee to give yourself a boost. But I have another suggestion which works for me but not for my husband so I have no idea if it’s unusual.

As long as I haven’t just very recently peed, I can make myself pee by tickling the top of my ass crack. So I sit on the toilet, touch that spot, and pee starts to trickle. Then it’s like as soon as it gets started, it’s easy to continue.
