This is how books were written 100 years ago, you had to spend like the first third explaining why everyone else is wrong before getting to the part where you claim to be right.

Even in the wet sciences, most “mad scientists” are just crazed engineers.

Ioughttamow , to asklemmy in What's the hardest you've ever hit your head on something or something hit yours?

I suppose running down the stairs when I was 5 or 6. Look I was really excited to use those stickers. Tumbled head over heels down the basement stairs and struck the top of my head on the support beam at the bottom. Ended up getting stitches, a bear stuffy, and topical cocaine so obviously I came out ahead

I think “I’m hungry. You food?” Would be near the top of the list too.

Drusas , to asklemmy in [Serious] Best Pee Strat

Drink a bunch of water (as in, as much as you can stomach or up to 32 oz or so) about an hour beforehand and you will really need to pee.

This is what is required when a pelvic ultrasound is performed so that you have a full bladder at first but also need to pee so that you can then be imaged with an empty bladder.

This shark has more of a blue tint to its eyes. Not black eyes, like a doll’s eyes.

helpImTrappedOnline , to android in Motorola Update neuters Syncthing

Well that really sucks.

It sounds like the file permissions were changed/reset. As a not Motorola user, I have no clue any difference you may have, but I’ll try to help.

Judging by your date of June 22, I’m guessing its been a month sence you got this, or was it just rolled out to you in the last few days?

Here a few potential spots to start, theres a high chance you’ve done them already, but I’ll start here.

  • If you share a new folder to your device, does it ask permission to “access the folder”. You may just have to redo all your syncs.
    • if you where previosuly syncing to the system “root” folder, you can not. (The folder with “Android” and “Pictures”. You have to be in a sub-folder. (No idea how long this has been a thing, but will include anyways)).
  • Does sync thing (and your file apps) have any new required permissions, obviosuly ensure your running the latest version. It might require a reinstall to retrigger the permission diologues.
    • There is a backup option in the sync thing app, however I have never used it and thus have no idea how “complete” of backup it is.
JackGreenEarth OP ,

Yeah, I tried the first thing basically immediately, I grant it access to a subfolder (I discovered much earlier to my chagrin I couldn’t just sync the root folder). I checked the app’s settings to see if there were any permissions it needed I could give it, there weren’t, but I hadn’t tried reinstalling the app as I didn’t want to lose my data. The backup option just backs up the configuration file of the Syncthing app.

@boogetyboo@aussie.zone avatar

Yes. They started the rudeness and I was done being the polite one. It was clearly a misunderstanding that led to a mistake on their part but once I made that obvious to them, they doubled down.

I was getting more and more blunt, think ‘so what you’re telling me…’ type tone. And then I heard myself and internally cringed.

Yes the fuck up was theirs alone. But having worked in a similar role 20 years prior, I remembered how one interaction like the one we were having would completely ruin your day.

She was flushed red in the face and neck and I remembered being young and making the (wrong) decision to double down when I’m caught out in a fuck up rather than admitting fault and working on a remedy. It’s a lesson only learnt in time and humiliation.

I think she’d learnt it at that point but it was too late. And an angry middle aged woman ranting at her was not going to do anything.

So I stopped and said ‘I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be speaking to you like this. I’ve already had a bad day and this has made it so much worse. But that’s got nothing to do with you and you don’t deserve to be spoken like that by customers. When’s the next available appointment?’

She gave me a curt ‘that’s ok’ - and believe me that almost made me snap again, but we sorted it out.

I noted the next time I got a confirmation for my appointment that they’d included my suburb in my surname - I think to differentiate between me and another customer (the reason for the crossed wires). That’s a win. But I hope she learnt a lesson about seeking truth rather than victory and I hope she wasn’t too upset.

People shaking coconut trees are often crushed by facing people who don’t exist within the context of all in which they live and which came before them.

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

My answers below, but for your current issue, put in a complaint with the FCC or email the CEO of the company directly. Most major companies have a process to resolve issues that normal agents can’t access if you can get to the right level. Emailing the CEO works with many companies, but telecom companies are sensitive to FCC oversight and would rather fix your issue than deal with the FCC.

…fcc.gov/…/115002206106-Internet-Form-Description…

Yes, the agent agreed with me that the company owed me money, but told me they couldn’t do anything about it. I told them I understood, but please put in a ticket to someone that could do something about it. They just kept telling me they couldn’t help until I got mad. They eventually relented and put in a ticket, which was then denied without reason a month later. I resolved the issue by circumventing the call center entirely and getting directly to an escalation team similar to what I recommended above.

I would complain on their twitter account, That seems to get action pretty fast these days.

You exist in the context of all In which you live and that came before you

possiblylinux127 , to linux in Is there a program that I can run on my laptop to tell me what Linux distro supports the hardware out of the box? Also whether the hardware is supported at all?

All Linux distros are Linux based. There isn’t that much variation. The only things that could change support are:

  • kernel version
  • Nvidia kernel modules
  • Ubuntu kernel
SynopsisTantilize ,

I will say that depending on a distro, there may be more growing pains than others. Like Elementary OS vs MInt vs PopOS

Edit: elementary being behind on versioning, and popOS being the most versatile out of the box.
