I have a licence but I grew up in a place where many people don’t bother with getting a licence. Car ownership is expensive. Learning to drive take a lot of effort and public transport is available from 6 am to midnight and run very frequently. Also taxis and ridesharing is relatively cheap. This is Singapore.

Arfman ,

I don’t know about you but the sponsored results and all that search optimisation manipulation made me switch to DDG long before AI

Arfman ,

I’ve seen enough dystopian horror thrillers to know this won’t go the right way

Arfman ,

You’d think the driver would have start hitting the brakes seeing how fast it was going towards the gates

Arfman ,

Any good distro that goes well with this? So used to how good the raspberry pi OS has been

Arfman ,

To be fair you can have the browser with just features you want and nothing else that other people want that you don’t need

Arfman ,

What the hell is a “private city”?

Arfman ,

Do people live there on a permanent basis though or does it just run a commercial enterprise?

Arfman ,

It’s not unique to Lemmy. I’ve heard it on other platforms first before here

Arfman ,

He’s great and I think he’s crossed with other similar content creators too including Tom Scott (or I could be wrong about that last one)

Arfman ,

Damn what the fuck was he thinking

Arfman ,

Having LLM taking orders seems superfluous when ordering kiosks already exist

ExxonMobil accused of ‘greenwashing’ over carbon capture plan it failed to invest in (www.theguardian.com)

Doug Parr, chief scientist for Greenpeace UK, said carbon capture and storage was hailed by the oil industry as a “miraculous silver bullet”, but had failed to deliver. “Carbon capture and storage does not appear to be much closer to reducing carbon emissions, or being affordable, than it did 20 years ago,” he said....

Arfman ,

Wow I’m so shocked, ok not really

Arfman ,

Weatherzone works great for me but I think it depends on where you live

How do you manage your headphone cables?

I recently switched from wireless to wired headphones (Samson SR-850, probably the best for the very reasonable price) and my chair’s wheels instantly started eating its cable. Right now I’m using a small plastic hook that came with a face mask to keep it off the floor, but I’d like to hear other solutions.

Arfman ,

I got this thing called the J22 that I can plug my wired headphones in and put it my pocket or clip to my shirt that then connects via Bluetooth. No more issues with getting wires caught to stuff and no lag.

Arfman ,

Oh ho ho it’s one of those protected species where you criticise him when he’s relevant and people say give him a break he’s busy and when you do it off season people say it’s not the right time

Arfman ,

I just use a case. It doubles up as protecting my phone if I drop it.

Arfman ,

I guess it would be kind of like referring to another person as “human”.

"Hey who helped you with this?”

“This human over here, my co-worker.”

What is a gender neutral replacement for man, guys, buddy, etc?

So I’ve realized that in conversations I’ll use traditional terms for men as general terms for all genders, both singularly and for groups. I always mean it well, but I’ve been thinking that it’s not as inclusive to women/trans people....

Arfman ,

I’m in Australia and I’ve started using this, in addition to folks

Arfman ,

Shouldn’t they just commit to follow the web standards? Most modern browsers strive to follow those standards.

Arfman ,

At that age I was only interested in gaming. Don’t know how people have the facility to form long term relationships

Arfman ,

Tinkering in terminal is the thing I like most about Linux. What’s holding me back is most of the tools and games I want to use is not yet available on Linux but I think it’s getting there soon

Arfman ,

I’ll definitely give that a go. Thanks.

Arfman ,

I’m in this post and I hate it

Arfman ,

I don’t drive much so my favourite EVs are trains, ebikes and electric buses.

Arfman ,

Then a calzone is just a big taco

Arfman ,

Huh the calzone we made at the pizza shopped I worked at was just a pizza that’s folded

Arfman ,

Thanks Jeoff

Arfman ,

Huh can prions pass through vegetation

Arfman ,

I’m worried we’re gonna have a situation like the death or Tito

Arfman ,

That just means people will use more of it.

Arfman ,

I’ve got a few games on my phone for when I’m flying. Minesweeper, Freecell, Alpha Omega…

YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective" (en.wikipedia.org)

“Systematic reviews of controlled clinical studies of treatments used by chiropractors have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective, with the possible exception of treatment for back pain.[8] A 2011 critical evaluation of 45 systematic reviews concluded that the data included in the study “fail[ed] to...

Arfman ,

I wonder if it’s a placebo effect. Like I go for a back massage every month or so and feel good for a few weeks but I’m fully aware it’s just muscle pain relief and not some permanent fix.

Arfman ,

Misinterpret it into wanting to get a migrate

Arfman ,

Ebikes and eScooters exist though

I'm so sick of dinky shitty devices with garbage rechargeable batteries

you always have to manage a million different cables for each one, and they all suck. why can’t we just use AAA batteries instead of these shitty lithium ones? it’s so fucking frustrating. where can I find gadgets that work while plugged in, or at least don’t need to be recharged every two fucking days?

Arfman ,

Maybe in buying the wrong AAA batteries but I’m struggling to make them last longer than a few cycles

Arfman ,

Surprising Australia voted in favour this time

Arfman ,

I saw a video yesterday that in Japan, your hosts will offer to serve green tea on rice. Apparently this is a hint for the guests to leave.

Arfman ,

Refuse and it’s the cue to leave

Arfman ,

I just got an email saying the subscription will go up by 60% in April (I’m on a grandfathered premium plan).

Arfman ,

Long time ago a friend of mine used a set of key press to generate a smiley face to put in his bios which ended up in a situation where he was not able to type in the same smiley face into the password prompt. I had to teach him to reset his bios battery to get back into the bios.

Arfman ,

What is this, some elementary school?

Arfman ,

At least the radio has someone that talks and occasionally interacts with the audience

Arfman ,

True, but I’m not a fan of those shows too. I’ve got some really good radio stations that I follow though and I find it hard to switch to any streaming services but I guess it’s just my age showing.

Arfman ,

Can’t speak for others but I notice I only feel sleepy if I have a huge meal. A normal sized meal followed by a fruit usually keeps me going till home time.

Arfman ,

LOL I’m still using an old CRT TV because it just won’t die and I barely watch TV

Arfman ,

Some of my friends call it the interWebzz though

Arfman ,

Yeah I’ve found the little house of hairball horror under the guest bed…
