Weird.

Also, I thought the whole point of logs is that you can’t delete them yourself. They get written to an external place and then they can’t be edited.

That’s probably a cultural thing, isn’t it? In diverse areas, people don’t expect to understand what they hear others say, so there’s no “Speak ___; we’re in ___” culture.

Oh, that makes sense. I didn’t consider anyone would do that.

That’s an interesting take. I haven’t played Cyberpunk, but now I know to stay away because I only play Destiny 2 (also a pretty lore-heavy game) for the feel and the sound effects.

Your toilet is so far from the toilet paper.

Ask Lemmy: Traditional vs natural mouse scrolling; which do you use?

Despite being a heavy cell phone user for more than 25 years, it only recently occurred to me that vertical navigation on most phones is inverted when compared to traditional computers. You swipe down to navigate upward, and up to navigate downward. I recently spent time using a MacBook, which apparently defaults to this...

I never was able to completely realize that it’s the wheel that makes it intuitive — that pulling down on the wheel makes the bottom of the wheel pull the screen up. But it makes so much sense, and it’s why I use “traditional” scrolling on mouse.

Yeah, sounds like an XY problem.

I hate how everything requires you to download a shitty proprietary data harvesting app nowadays when everything can be done just fine without an app.

I have recently started a new position and am required to use an app that has three Facebook trackers, one of them being a Facebook location tracker according to Exodus App Privacy in order to get your food when it would literally work perfectly fine ordering to a real cashier or shit even a website rather than having to...

I don’t know if anyone growing up these days would actually like mobile app requirements if they took the time to think about why they’re required. Source: I’m one of them.

I like this too because it doesn’t require you to turn on NFC which I feel like drains power.

Huh, today I learned. I’d always assumed it was like Bluetooth or location.

Scrub with wet salt and/or wet baking soda because both are abrasive.

Leave the baking soda + water gloop on the stains for maybe half an hour because baking soda cleans things, then rinse and repeat as necessary.

Good luck, brother.

Moving to Arch/EndeavorOS from PopOS?

I’ve been using PopOS for a few months now, and I’m interested in Arch, but I’m worried about whether or not I have enough experience to do that successfully. Also, I have an Nvidia GPU until I start a new build in the next year or so. I don’t know if that’ll be a problem in Arch. It was a major issue with Fedora for...

I’ve been using Manjaro for a few days with no problems, and I have an Nvidia GPU. It works fine whether I choose open-source or proprietary GPU drivers upon booting. Does it not work for you?

Honestly this is a good way to do things. Curate your online experience. I got it from Tumblr, actually.

What does “the better so tired from Reddit” mean? I genuinely can’t tell if you’re trolling me. What you said made no sense. I was on Reddit for a little while and don’t remember Spanish Reddit, poop knife, spooky, or Jesus ads.

I think it’s also a perceived value thing. You think something has more value when you pay for it, or at least you pretend to think so to save face.

I can confirm I literally never calculate change anymore. The only thing I do in my head is calculate a 20% tip.

I’m alright at written arguments when I can take my time and rewrite and make different multidimensional bullet-point lists and tables, but I can’t organize ideas or comprehend let alone create arguments verbally. This has led me to believe I’m far below average in terms of verbal sparring. Maybe 25th percentile at most.

I don’t do too wonderful remembering things people are saying either, especially in emotionally charged situations like arguments with loved ones. I have to write things to mention down beforehand and write specific actionable items to consider them resolved. I do well in academic lectures only because I take very good notes (not exhaustive; I paraphrase and use inside jokes to remember). I think I’m far below average there too, so for auditory processing maybe. I do my best to practice this by listening to podcasts and YouTubers without subtitles. I often have to rewind 5 or 10 seconds, but I’m getting better, I think. I’m probably around 40th percentile here.

I think I’m better than average at putting ideas into words, maybe 60th or 70th percentile. Unfortunately, that skill is made obsolete by ChatGPT and similar. (I’m not an “AI” evangelist; I just recognize that it is better than me at the common task of using English grammar patterns to make something that sounds plausible out of a list of bullet points and fragmented ideas.)

I think I’m maybe better than average at using search engines and reading manuals to figure out how things work. I learned everything I know about credit cards, CDs, stocks, 401ks, and Roth IRAs from various sources on the interwebs as well as from reading the fine print on the contracts I signed. Maybe 70th percentile.

As a bonus, I’m pretty good at inventing harmony lines to songs. That comes in helpful for songs I cover/write.

When it’s hot I like snacking on frozen mango pieces. They sell bags of them in supermarkets. Frozen blackberries and raspberries are also great.

I also like putting vegetables into curry and soup because personally I like my ratio of solid “food” to liquid curry/broth to be higher.

radix ,
@radix@lemm.ee avatar

Disclaimer: I make curry from premade pastes and blocks, not from scratch. I don’t love cooking that much, haha.

For Japanese curry from curry blocks: Boil hard vegetables and meat in water until they’re mostly cooked, then stir in some curry blocks and make them dissolve in the hot water. Add soft vegetables. Adjust thickness and saltiness. Done.

For Thai curry from curry paste: Boil hard vegetables and meat in some coconut milk until mostly cooked, then mix in some curry paste and the rest of the coconut milk. Add soft vegetables. Adjust spiciness. Done.

Hard vegetables (vegetables that are hard to overcook):

  • potato
  • onion
  • carrot
  • mushroom

Soft vegetables:

  • zucchini
  • broccoli
  • cauliflower

My siblings and I always loved the number 4 because our puritanical mother was so casual about sticking her middle finger out at only that moment. That was just about the most taboo thing we could imagine, and it was as a result hilarious.

Seconding the DNS suggestion. Specifically I set my DNS to dns.adguard-dns.com and that does the trick for mobile games and such.

Snap on Ubuntu. I totally did not comprehend that it was proprietary; I just thought it was convenient, like apt.

For what it’s worth, the “pro” and “max” labels merely indicate whether something is different from normal. The iPhone 15 is the baseline; iPhone 15 Pro has somewhat better specs; and iPhone 15 Pro Max has both better specs and more screen real estate.
