That’s going to catch some people, especially older ones.

Rhaedas ,

Yet if I was helping my elders over the phone, I'd get all sorts of "What Windows key?", "I can't find that Control key", or "I did that key, the plus key, and then my hand slipped and I minimized everything."

Tylerdurdon , to technology in Be careful.

So inventive these guys. If only we could harness that ingenuity for the common good instead, it would have a huge impact.

CosmicTurtle0 ,

Fwiw there are a large number of people who volunteer their time and effort toward worthwhile projects. It’s just they don’t get rewarded anywhere near the level of benefit that they provide.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

Yup, I used to do that as a hobby, but now that I have kids, I just don’t have the time. There’s no way I could do it full-time, so I have a regular 9-5 that pays reasonably well for a cause I don’t hate. For me, that’s enough.

I hope I can make enough at my day job to go back to working on FOSS projects before I lose my ability to write competent software.

sometimes really, really, REALLY stupid puzzles

oh god, the wrench in the subway rail

shyguyblue ,

The inflatable duck ring make sense, after you solve it :/

noodlejetski , (edited )

it must’ve been… 20 years? since I’ve played it, and I still remember it. I also remember that the solution was in the guide that came with the game, and it actually acknowledged that it was one of the most convoluted puzzles in the game.

Nuke_the_whales , to nostupidquestions in Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?

Trump could be rolled out drooling and leaking brain fluid from his ears and 40% of voters will fully go behind him cause he’s a republican. And the “undecided” voters will somehow see it as a strength. By the way, anyone still claiming to be undecided on Donald Trump in 2024 is full of shit

golden_zealot , (edited ) to asklemmy in What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?
@golden_zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

A user on Lemmy a while back (can’t recall their name) had said that when they get fast food fries, they don’t salt the fries, they salt the ketchup.

I will confirm that this is a fantastic idea because it makes every fry taste equally salted, and gives the salt a way to actually adhere to the fries instead of just ending up in the bottom of the container or on your table.

My own recommendation where I can’t believe more people don’t do it is buying no name/store brand stuff when getting groceries and supplies. I’m pretty sure a lot of people don’t do this because marketing has pushed them into thinking these are “inferior” or are not as good, but 7 times out of 10 the no name/store brand stuff is equal in quality or better while also being something like 20-40 percent cheaper. Just because something is different than the name brand stuff does not make it worse, just different. Like you DONT need a more expensive type of aluminum foil for example, the cheapest aluminum foil is identical in quality.

Mycatiskai ,

To your first point, I do this with the Costco gravy, add one salt and two pepper packets into the gravy makes it way better.

To your second point, many times the no name brand or store brand is actually packed by the same company with the same product but you aren’t paying for the brand name marketing so it is cheaper.

foster , to selfhosted in Selfhosted S3 compatible recommendations?

If you need S3-compliant storage for testing and development, you can use an S3 mock server. I’ve tried the following for use in web development and CI environments, they are lightweight and configurable:

There is also Localstack. I found this one to be a bit more complex than the ones above and ended up not sticking with it.

chloyster , to gaming in I have been getting into emulation (discussion)

Talk of emulation is definitely allowed but might be for the best to not link places to get roms. Just out of an abundance of caution

some_guy , to nostupidquestions in When and why did democrats begin supporting fracking?

It’s pretty cool how my family, who are in Kansas, said that they couldn’t understand the risk I take, of earthquakes, living in the Bay Area, California. It’s also pretty cool how they now have earthquakes because of fracking in Oklahoma. The world is awesome, lemme tell ya.

Sigh.

db2 ,

they now have earthquakes because of fracking in Oklahoma

Why are you making me defend fracking? Gross. But yeah, that’s not how geology works. How many miles down are they injecting the poison solution?

Thank you, kind stranger!

Not sure, but maybe the QXL driver will help:

andrewta , to asklemmy in Does selling stuff you own affect your unemployment? (NYS)

As long as you don’t sell to much at a time then no. Also the reality is they won’t really know unless you tell them. Obviously if you are pulling in $50,000 a month that will probably show up.

yuuunikki OP ,

Tbh id be lucky to sell maybe $100 in a short time

Boozilla , to nostupidquestions in Can a COVID test show your level of infectiousness?
@Boozilla@lemmy.world avatar

Too many variables. There’s two types of test, antigen and PCR. The chemical reactions in both can be impacted by ambient temperature and humidity, light exposure, air pressure (altitude), air quality (contaminants) and so on. At-home testing is far from lab conditions. False positives and false negatives are possible. I wouldn’t put any stock in the timing.
