obligatory xkcd

*Legume

normal shirt buttons, which come off fairly regularly.

Maybe your technique isn’t sufficient and the posted method isn’t as “over the top” as you claim, but fundamental to not loosing buttons.

Classic Microsoft Business Strategy

Drugs alter your perception, not awareness. Mediation and a philosophy class you didn’t take on YouTube will cure you of that confusion.

I had a similar network appliance “nest”. I got a rolling kitchen island from IKEA because it has shelves that encourage ventilation and it also fit my printer, UPC, and HTPC/server. Now I have one network appliance cart. Everything is always a few inches off of the floor. All the cords are contained and tied off where necessary to keep the cart’s contents from spilling out in the way. When it’s time to clean around it, it can be wheeled away from the wall or corner. The only cords still connected to the wall are one for power and one for Internet. I can even disconnect it entirely from the wall briefly without too much fuss, just a short time without internet but with the wifi intact.

The cart would be overkill in your case, but the idea of it would still have value. You could probably fit everything you’ve got into an empty milk crate. That crate could be on wheels and most crates are pretty well ventilated.

Whenever I’m forced to use windows, show file extensions and show hidden files.

So, given your work history, where do you stand on the Clerks deathstar contractor debate?

Same reason anyone has played any of the thousands of games that predate “the cloud” or games that don’t even have a save feature. Cloud saves? No thanks, never have, maybe never will.

Besides, if you’re not paying for the service, you’re the product not the consumer.

Thanks for further proving my point.

Ditto. The plastics floss/pick combos work even better. Being thinner and super flexible, they are less likely to cause damage and reach the tiny crevices better.

You just repeated your claims without explaining them or backing them up with any details. You sound like someone selling essential oils and crystals as medicine. Try again?

You seem to be implying that you are somehow more entitled to that public space than kids. Sounds like something an entitled little bitch would say. Are you an entitled little bitch? Public space is for the public, ALL the public. If let your own hangups lead you to bullying the most naive and impressionable of us, then you are sacrificing other people’s freedom. And if you are people like this then I say, “fuck you too”. The social contract of public space doesn’t entitled you to be unbothered by other people.

To be clear I am in no way excusing parents that do not actually parent their children, especially in public. However the logic of the above comment is just a bunch of “get off my lawn” anti-social ME generation boomer energy. Also, kind of telling that the parent commenter just doesn’t see the parallels between their entitled attitude and everyone else’s entitlement. It’s a public space, if you can’t be compassionate, you don’t deserve it any more than anyone else.

Bull. This is corporate propaganda for the grind culture, the same capitalist culture that is currently grinding the middle class into the gutter.

I love my job. I’m pretty fucking good at it, probably wouldn’t be much good at anything else. But, I wouldn’t do it for free. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t need a job. And I still get burnt out on the constant demands it makes on my time and energy. Turns out, humans value play over obligation. We are most fulfilled, happy, and joyful at play. Play is like the opposite of obligation. The only thing worse than being forced to work is watching as your play (fulfilling thing you enjoy doing) turns to work (that thing you’re obligated to do for survival).

It’s the time that is the difference, not the bullshit fallacy of “do what you love”. If we could all survive off of a 3-4 day work week and a 3-4 day weekend, that might actually make a dent on those problems. We might all find we’re all a lot less stressed, fulfilled, and able to connect more meaningfully with the rest of humanity.

Things often have various maintenance cycles that need to be maintained. Most tools require regular safety checks (usually performed by user right before use) that you probably don’t want to depend on the public for. Batteries may need to be charged or changed. Oil changes and the maintenance of other consumable parts. Firmware updates. Licensing (and maintaining a record of licensing) for said firmware or software. Warranty timelines for repair or replacement. Maintenance that needs to be done after each use, every time interval, or only (or especially) if the thing sits unused.

“On a previous android phone”

They’ve been incrementally locking down those features and options (or security holes) over the years. I’ve used Tasker almost from the very first android phone to automate tasks and watched those features it tied into slowly get stripped away or locked down to the point of being useless.

A space battle with transcendental Borg Spheres.

Believe it or not Lemmy.world is not the only instance.

Usually only kernel changes if at all, but they mentioned registry keys.

I mean that’s what you want when it comes to nuclear weapons. Right? Either be the first to know or the last to know. I guess some people would prefer to die in the flash than live and struggle through an apocalypse.
