My only problem is trying to use it with the android app. I have to manually sync it like all the time which is a pain in the ass when I forget to do it before I go out the door and my shopping list isn’t update. That and it won’t sync files I create on the phone to the server

Give me a video game library for the down time and I’d sign up.

I have to talk to someone at the lumber yard though …

My parents just had a house built last year and there is so much shit wrong. The biggest thing I found is one of the alcoves on the side of their fireplace is a full 1.5" wider in the front than the back. You don’t have to measure to see it. How the fuck the guy who did the framing, or the guy who did the drywall, or anyone else walking past that fucking thing didn’t notice I have no idea. They sold their nice old house for that pile of shit and it’s not even better even if you ignore all the problems. It pisses me off so much because I told them this was going to happen.

Doing any amount of research about the cars would bring him up. These people are spending that much without doing any research?

lightnsfw ,

That just means they could be selling the full range version cheaper. You’re getting the same hardware. It’s insane. Not “tricky”.

lightnsfw ,

You searched top 10 EVs. If you search Tesla specifically his name and face are all over the place.

lightnsfw ,

The additional price of the full-range version is partially subsidizing the lower priced version.

That makes it even worse!

lightnsfw ,

Because they are over charging people for the same hardware. Everyone is receiving the same product except for the fact that the cheaper one is hamstrung by an unnecessary software change. If it wasn’t for that all these cars would be identical. If they can sell it cheaper then do so. If they can’t don’t. If you want to have different price tiers make a version with more actual features. How are you not seeing this as a bad thing?

One of my housemates has a brother printer and I was testing some stuff out on LMDE and noticed it was available to print to. No searching for it or driver to be installed or anything. I don’t actually need to print but that’s pretty cool.

lightnsfw ,

The comment I replied to didn’t mention you had any issues. I just wanted to mention something I had noticed that I thought was cool. Not trying to get into a debate about it.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

I have a hard time hitting my protein goal and maintaining correct macros even with meat. I have looked at vegetarian options and I don’t see how anyone could do it without just slamming multiple protein shakes a day. Which would destroy my digestive system. I’d probably be ok when I’m not bulking but I’d have to do a ton of research and basically forget about fast food options. If someone could lay out a vegetarian diet for me that would work I’d be more than happy to give it a shot but I don’t have time to make that effort myself.

The issue is ads are for supporting free software. Windows is not free therefore should not be showing ads.

lightnsfw ,

Same thing happened too me lol. Other than the retaking it part. It was kind of useful in the sense that it made me think about if I was acting that way and to make an effort not to do so.

lightnsfw ,

Just fill them with garbage, we have plenty of that everywhere.

lightnsfw ,

Works okay in Dwarf Fortress.

lightnsfw ,

Yea, hire a bunch of underpaid undertrained peons to take support calls from the rest of your underpaid untrained peons. If an exec has a problem they get to bypass the helpdesk and go straight to someone that knows what they’re doing so they never see how bad things are. $$$

lightnsfw ,

You guys eating breakfast?

My LG V20 does all that and more. Not sure about water resistance but that hasn’t been a problem for me since the flip phone days. There were so many options 8 years ago and now just about everything is a variation of the iPhone loadout. It’s infuriating.

lightnsfw ,

I always assume they just left a trail of ant stank on the ground and everyone followed it. To wherever the food was.

lightnsfw ,

Yep, if taxes are preventing you from having a minimum of a comfortable standard of living then what is the point? That money should be coming out of the pockets of those that can afford it.

lightnsfw ,

At the very least they should allow you to use the “safety nets” if you’re being taxed below the comfort level.

lightnsfw ,

The “common sense” is you control your fucking dog. If you have to kill it to do so, you’re a failure as a pet owner and as a person.

lightnsfw ,

Agreed. McDonald’s sucks but I literally throw up about 1/3 of the time I have White Castle and it doesn’t even taste good.

lightnsfw ,

I haven’t bought a new phone since I got my LG V20. Lack of headphone jack is among many reasons. There’s nothing on the market that has all the features it does or even new features that make up for what I would be giving up if I got a new phone. I fear the day when I’m forced to get a new phone because it gets too out dated for my work apps.

lightnsfw ,

It’s all fun and games until the cat gets fed up and this turns into an “I’m not locked in here with you, you’re locked in here with me” scenario. Especially with bare legs.

Happens to the best of us.

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

I’m working on a some materials for a class wherein I’ll be teaching some young, wide-eyed Windows nerds about Linux and we’re including a section we’re calling “foot guns”. Basically it’s ways you might shoot yourself in the foot while meddling with your newfound Linux powers....

lightnsfw ,

this one used to fuck me up sooooo much.

lightnsfw ,

I’m the same. If I know I’m going to watch some thing I don’t what the trailer. People get pissed off when I ask them not to talk about the trailer in front of me too.

lightnsfw ,

I just watched that a few days ago. What was the twist? There wasn’t anything all that surprising to me as far as I can remember.

lightnsfw ,

And they’re speeding them up so they can cram more scenes in. I went and saw Godzilla X Kong and could barely keep up with some of them they were switching through things so fast.

lightnsfw ,

Oh yea, that makes sense.

lightnsfw ,

I like that there’s a (small) barrier to entry here. Keeps out the riff raff.

lightnsfw ,

Cool single idea: donate twice as much blood. Drink all the wine coolers yourself.

Immune system: I’m not here to keep you alive. I’m here to kill infections.

A bullet journal. I can’t get distracted and doom scroll for hours in a notebook.

They’d rather have the protagonist run around screaming like a moron for 20 minutes for comedic effect instead instead of putting any effort into developing characters

lightnsfw ,

You can get 3.5mm to (whatever usb port) that will as far as I know work in every phone. Just because it doesn’t have a dedicated port doesn’t mean you can’t wire in your headphones.

not if you want to charge it as well.

Lol, bring on your down votes. I bet if you surveyed a hundred random people on the street if they really want a headphone port on your phone and are committed to using it you’d get less than ten people, definitely less than 20. It’s not realistic to support every legacy hardware function on a modern device because a few tech enthusiasts want it, especially when there’s a very easy way to support it.

If you’re the only option with a headphone jack that’s a guaranteed 10% of the market buying your device. More if you also include other things tech enthusiasts want that are no longer widely available.

lightnsfw ,

Simply put, if companies determined the market need for 3.5mm port was valuable enough they’d leave it on there.

The reason it’s not “valuable” is that they want to force people to buy expensive earbuds every year when they crap out. This is demonstrated by the fact that none of these phones that have removed it have added anything new in it’s place and they’ve only gotten more expensive. Practically every phone on the market is just a copycat phone, camera, social media browsing device. Maybe a few have a stylus. The only thing that differentiates them is specs. My 6 year old phone has more features than anything available today and I dread finally reaching the point where my work apps stop functioning due to it’s age and I have to downgrade to some garbage that can’t do half the things I used to.

lightnsfw ,

Their point was that archive.org is going to get fucked in court.

lightnsfw ,

I don’t see anything pro IP in their comment. They just stated the reality of the situation.

lightnsfw ,

Couldn’t they just *2 all the bills from before this was ran and straighten it out?

lightnsfw ,

Well I wouldn’t want to bother her.

lightnsfw ,

No. I would be happy and awesome at doing pretty much any ground level technical work but thanks to corporate greed and inflation I can’t afford to live on what I’d make doing any of those. So I had to take promotions to roles that are more about communicating with a bunch of different people to have them do stuff while fielding questions from leadership about why shit wasn’t done on time. This stresses me the fuck out and leaves me too mentally drained at the end of the day to do any personal projects and I’m still can’t even afford to actually own a home.

lightnsfw ,

I’ve looked but haven’t found anything that pays enough. Which in itself is a pain in the ass because no one just says what a position is paying until you go through an application and interview.

Searching for random stuff on Yahoo with my friend when I was in 5th grade.

lightnsfw ,

I had to take a van that a baby had thrown up in out in the middle of the summer to diagnose a vibration issue. That was the worst smell I have ever smelt. I still remember it sometimes and it’s been a decade since then.

lightnsfw ,

Yea, I was always good at math but shit like that made me hate it. Like you said I either understood the concept or I didn’t. Having a higher volume of problems wasn’t going to help. The funny thing was, later on in high school, my english teacher gave me a list of all the assignments we would have that semester with how many points they were worth so I went through and figured out what I would be a able to skip (pretty much all the stuff that I’d have to get in front of the class for) and still pass. She did not give a shit about it other than initially being concerned that I was failing really hard for a while because most of what I skipped was at the beginning. I told her what I was doing and she was just like “… well ok if that’s what you want to do…”. I
