This is me. This is also me when a new sales rep would email some huge internal distribution list and the “take me off this email” reply-all clusterfuck would start.

… Do you mean calloused?

… I think they mean calcified, it’s how I feel at least.

Nah, then they will turn to calcium. They obviously mean codified

Clearly you’ve not been on tinder any time in the last 10 years. If tinder profiles are correct, literally everyone looooves hiking

Cruxifux ,

Yeah, I’ve never used tinder.

Track_Shovel OP ,

Everyone thinks they love hiking until they hike without trails.

ObviouslyNotBanana ,
@ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world avatar

Hiking without a trail is better imo

Not many will agree on that however.

state_electrician ,

I just enjoy walking outside. I don’t need to make it a contest in difficulty.

ObviouslyNotBanana ,
@ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, it’s not about difficulty for me! If that was the impression I gave it was because I wasn’t awake yet.

I just feel more relaxed when there’s no set path.

betterdeadthanreddit ,

A more challenging route does lower the odds of encountering other people though which is a plus. Nice to have the solitude even if that means extra effort.

settoloki ,

I mean you see other people for a matter of seconds as you pass them on the trail, maybe give a head nod or a quite hello and keep going. Going out of your way to avoid this seems extreme behavior that probably means you need help.

betterdeadthanreddit ,

Thanks for the diagnosis, doc. Can’t have preferences without somebody pathologizing it.

theneverfox ,

I beg to differ. I like to pick a treeline and just dive in, and I’ve had a ton of weird encounters. Like once I was walking through the woods, and I very suddenly came to a clearing… There were two dudes in their underwear and a single moped

I had so many questions… Like why didn’t you stash the moped closer to the trail? Or did you have your underwear on already, or did you hear me and scramble? Are your clothes in the moped saddlebags, or did you ride out like this?

I had no idea how to react, so I just gave a nod and nonchalantly walked between them like I was on a trail

ObviouslyNotBanana ,
@ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world avatar

The best way to avoid that is to not start at a trail to begin with. But that is difficult in many places of the world. Since I’m from Sweden I’m free to roam pretty much anywhere I wish and that gives me an unfair advantage.

Track_Shovel OP ,

Here. Take this shovel and come with me. Bring your Munsell book too.

ObviouslyNotBanana ,

Are… Are you the shovel?

Track_Shovel OP ,

I can be anything you want me to be for the right price…

Passerby6497 ,

Human trails or deer trails? Because my absolute favorite hiking experience was when a group of friends and I said ‘fuck it’ to the people trails and spent the day wandering the deer trails.

10/10, will do again

thesohoriots ,

Back in the day, I got so sick of seeing it that I just put: “I hate hiking, bonfires, and beaches.” It worked out pretty well.

SturgiesYrFase ,
@SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml avatar

Nice, met my now wife on bumble, hooked her with talk of my love of video games and Golden Age Sci-fi novels…or maybe despite of, she’s pretty tight lipped about it.

theneverfox ,

In fairness, hiking is a great first date. Shared goal, nice scenery, and you can just talk about what you read about the length, difficulty, view of the hike if you’re flailing for smalltalk

Then you hike, and you can point out what you see or ask random philosophical questions with time to think in silence without it being weird

And then, you spend some time seeing a nice view, maybe have a small picnic, and by the time you get back you already know each other without the awkward “interview” stage of a first date

If tinder wasn’t a cesspool at this point, I’d probably have it in my profile

tacosanonymous ,

Get lured to a secluded area by a stranger…

theneverfox ,

Or alternatively, mutually agree to travel to a semi-public area where park rangers will start looking for you if your car isn’t moved by sundown

There’s a spectrum of hikes, the casual popular ones aren’t exactly secluded areas

Fedizen ,

Its a great first date for like a “friend of a friend” connection. Its a terrible first date for a dating app.

The rules for online first dates:

  1. go somewhere you don’t mind never going to again
  2. have an escape plan
  3. go somewhere public with lots of witnesses
Dumbkid ,
@Dumbkid@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Wouldn’t say I love it, but I don’t mind hiking, trees and mountains are cool. I also live in a part of new england where it’s basically just trees mountains and hills so any sort of walking around turns into a hike

Cruxifux ,

Yeah hiking is okay. But I like to exercise. People who like to exercise are in a huge minority.

There are far too many people out there in desperate need of a good wabbajacking!

I too shouldn’t be allowed to use it.

Fake4000 , to technology in Running Windows on bus screens at Schipol Airport

That’s not the case. Usually governments and public organisations go throw a volume licensing agreements that sees them taking more than just windows. It would usually include things like windows, office, a bunch of enterprise applications, as well as support on top of it all.

Microsoft usually relies on those agreements to push software that might not be needed.

Another reason could be the video display management system they used to remotely control these screens. The software might only run on windows.

Sunny OP ,

Thanks for the clarification! 🙌

lemmyreader , to technology in Running Windows on bus screens at Schipol Airport

This seems rather harmless. In the past people have been posting photos of Windows running on ATM cash machines 🫣

cloudless , to technology in Running Windows on bus screens at Schipol Airport

If they only have a support team for Windows, then it makes sense to use Windows only for all their devices. If they deploy a different OS, then they need to either hire a new support team, or train the existing team for the new OS. Either way would be more expensive than the licensing fees.

Sunny OP ,

That makes sense yeah

Miaou , to technology in Running Windows on bus screens at Schipol Airport

The intern who did it didn’t know better and it’s cheaper to spend hundred of thousands on Microsoft rather than project past the next few years since whoever is in charge will be gone by then.

Welcome to the work world, where inefficiency is only problematic when it shows up on an Excel sheet.

Sunny OP ,

Was never aware such existed, thanks for pointing it out!

rdyoung ,

This right here. Many years ago when a foodlion near me rolled out self check outs I happened to discover a way to crash the self check app and access windows running underneath.

Linux is not always the answer, and free to install isn’t always cheap.

skatrek47 , to memes in was this not allowed before?

To be fair, as both an iOS and Android user, the way android moves icons around drives me crazy , I much prefer the iOS “shift everything down” approach

brown567 ,

As an exclusively Android user, I couldn’t agree more

can ,

Get a new launcher in your life!

can ,

Isn’t that launcher dependent?

skatrek47 ,

Not sure, I have a Pixel and use the stock everything

Poiar ,

Well… There’s yer problem

can ,
knexcar ,

Glad I’m on iPhone where I don’t have to worry about “launchers” and everything works out of the box.

can ,

Androids work out of the box too. The point is if you don’t like the way it works you can find alternatives. If you like stock iPhone that’s fine but I find it claustrophobic.

gofsckyourself ,

Ignorance. The mark of a true apple cult follower.

mexicancartel ,

Happy because no choice. Android works pretty well with default one but lauchers helps to overthrow what oem gives

metaldream ,

You’re talking to a bunch of geeks. There’s nothing wrong with the default pixel launcher. I used it for years. Most of these people have a butt ugly home screen and all kinds of ridiculous customizations that no one else has time for.

can ,

I cannot refute any of this.

TheAnonymouseJoker ,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

Ah yes a simple app drawer with A-Z scroll bar = NEEERRRRDDDDDD

I have the most plain home screen with dock icons and a wallpaper, and Nova Gestures to open my common apps one handed. Not a custom ROM/Xposed/TWRP/Magisk nerd since years now, live a very normal life. Do you Apple shills have a life, or is it just about consoomerism?

Ugh, I would not even use Android if I could not root…

That’s my favorite too but every since they were sold* I’m hesitant to recommend them. I’m too accustomed to swiping up/down on icons for shortcuts.

TheAnonymouseJoker ,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

Nova was not sold till 7.0.23 beta and was good till 6.2.13 stable.

can ,

So you just run the older version?

TheAnonymouseJoker ,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes, with internet disabled in firewall.

can ,

Smart, so you run 6.2.13?

TheAnonymouseJoker ,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

That is the last stable version before Nova did that codebase rewriting, which killed a lot of its features. No other launcher suits me at all.

can ,

Hm, right now I’m on the latest and didn’t notice much. Guess I’m not a power Nova user. I really only need the shortcuts when swiping up/down on icons. I’d switch if another launcher had that. I don’t have a firewall set up either. Guess I should look into that?

TheAnonymouseJoker ,
@TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml avatar

Nova Gestures is what makes it so good. I have dialler, NewPipe, maps and JetAudio on my fingertips.

You can just go in app info, find network/mobile data section and turn off all for any app. It disables networking.

kratoz29 ,

I see what you mean, and this could be easily fixable with a toggle.
