My blanket on a very cold winter night

Arfman ,

It sounds like your sister has sleep paralysis

Arfman ,

Oh it’s not always the chest sitting experience. Back before I understood what was going on, once I had an episode where I felt my body being stretched across the room.

Arfman ,

It’s funny because the Taliban too is also fighting a form of terrorism

Arfman ,

I can’t speak for others but as an older millennial, I grew up liking spending time on the phone with friends and loved ones. However in my adult life, I spent being anxious waiting for phone calls regarding job interviews and outcomes of them, and even being interviewed on some of them, including those without much notice. I also had to make calls to follow up things urgently or if I’m in trouble. As a result, I started to equate phone calls as mostly negative experiences.

Arfman ,

Yeah this is the last version of Office that doesn’t nag you and your can find keys or buy generated ones off eBay if you feel guilty or worried about malicious cracks.

Arfman ,

I wish there’s more Mozilla forks.

Arfman ,

Have you asked the Video Download helper team? I had an issue before where it wasn’t picking up a media after an update and asked them and they fixed it by the next update. They’re really good with support.

Arfman ,

If you’re logged on to GitHub and go under discussions for this dev, you can just post a discussion or add to an existing thread with a similar issue.

Arfman ,

Uhh, I thought this was just a meme

Arfman ,

It’s quite cold right now that I’m scrunched up like number 4 or 12

Arfman ,

I hate it when more when I’m on my mobile and have to reserve precious data

Arfman ,

Parsec if you’re using it for windows

If malls continue to shut down and decay over the next twenty years, someone should turn them into retirement communities for GenX and Millennials.

Imagine apartments built into what used to be department stores, (Oh, you’re JC Penny 203? I’m at Sears 106). Get those old arcades up and running. Set up meal stations at the food court. Once people actually live there, stores will start to move back in....

Arfman ,

Enjoy your health and exercise. I thought I was in pain in the 20s and 30s but then it’s worse in your 40s. I wish I ate better and exercise more.

Arfman ,

I’m still coming to terms of people who don’t think visually, there are people who think in grayscale??

Arfman ,

Not a westerner but after moving to Australia, took me a while to get used to using please. It’s not common where I’m from lol

Arfman ,

I bought a Google pixel 4a a while back for 550 Australian dollars after shopping around and price matching. Helped my partner get a Motorola G54 for $250 after price matching and it seems to have all the features that I had on my old phone that I’m pretty happy with. If I have to replace my Pixel someday I’m kinda on the fence whether I should get a Fairphone or to just go for a Motorola like hers.

Arfman ,

I still feel touchscreen controls are such a bad idea in cars. Old stereos have dots and grooves on them so you can operate them without having to take your eyes off the road.

Arfman ,

Touchscreen in cars are so bad for safety. Buttons mean you don’t have to take your eyes off the road

Arfman ,

I guess that’s fine as long as you have both options for touchscreen and buttons

Arfman ,

Yeah ok having both makes sense as it allows easier controls for the passenger to use or while being stopped

Arfman ,

Maybe a system where strange women lying in ponds distributing swords might actually be better

Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

I have tried Linux as a DD on and off for years but about a year ago I decided to commit to it no matter the cost. First with Mint, then Ubuntu and a few others sprinkled in briefly. Both are “mainstream” “beginner friendly” distros, right? I don’t want anything too advanced, right?...

Arfman ,

When I started learning Linux years ago when I studied IT I was actually taught UNIX but the first Linux distro I was exposed to was Red Hat back in school around 2000. Fedora was derived from that and for a while I was more familiar with that. However with the popularity of Debian and Ubuntu, it seems most of the instructions out there are geared around that so I’m now pretty much just sticking with Debian.

Arfman ,

The “but smaller” part is what sells it to me. My traditional oven is like ten times the size and I hate the idea of all that adding up on my energy bill just to warm up small meals for myself.

And I can’t set a shutoff timer on my traditional oven.

Arfman ,

My traditional oven is sort of like that. It’s got two portions, one larger part and a smaller griller that’s also perfect for pizzas. I still use it to cook bigger portions, like for a party.

Arfman ,

My traditional oven doesn’t. So I gotta be careful not to fall asleep waiting for stuff to cook.

Arfman ,

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 ,

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.”
