Are we assuming open windows or something? Either way, I’ve never seen ceiling fans used for ventilation, only for the same purpose as a floor fan, blowing air at you so you can cool down. Is ventilation a common use case in some places?

Does this person never leave their room? Why run the fan when the room isn’t occupied? That’s just wasted electricity…

TIL: flies have antennae.

Thanks for that etymology bit. I wonder why I never bothered to check, but it makes perfect sense, as I know Turkish.

And yeah, I should have used “sometimes” not “usually”. Pan fried shawarma is a thing, while döner isn’t, so depending on the way it’s prepared it may technically not be kebab.

Btw, kebab doesn’t need to involve any bread element whatsoever. In fact, in places that use the term natively, it usually isn’t. Kebab is just any grilled meat on a stick, and often is just the equivalent of BBQ.

Fun fact for you: All döner is kebab, but not all kebab is döner. Because döner is just a type of kebab (grilled meat on a stick). Which also means that shawarma’s status as kebab is questionable, as it’s usually sometimes roasted or pan fried, as far as I know.

They’ve got a lot of distros to try out, y’know?

Careful, posting your collection of Harry Potter books to Lemmy.

Reinstalling Windows is a generations-honored ritual.

Nowadays there are several tools where you tick options and do it in one click.

Dang, you’re still posting? I haven’t seen these for months.
Probably because I rarely scroll below 100 upvotes on Top…

I saw list item 1 more as “I want my phone to last for 5+ years, so I will want to replace my battery eventually”, rather than “I wanna wreck my battery fast, so it better be replaceable”. Being wasteful with your battery like that goes against the spirit of Fairphone, IMO.

2.5 years isn’t that long to evaluate battery degradation IMO, and as you said, you mostly don’t even push your battery that hard. And the article even seems to imply that faster charging does impact battery life, it’s just that manufacturers consider 100w a sweet-spot between charging speed and battery degradation.

Surely, that impacts the battery longevity, right? Personally, I disable all fast-charging features and charge my phone overnight.

P.S. Sorry for calling you Shirley.

Why do you need 120 watts charging for a phone? Most laptops don’t even support 100w.

Electromagnets engage when you release the mouse.

It’s just a joke about how there’s so little video posting on Lemmy and that some clients don’t support it.

What do you think you’re doing?! Videos on Lemmy are illegal!

You’re not wrong, as it’s your personal subjective experience, which can’t be wrong.
But the fact that it pisses you off implies that you don’t understand the reason behind it.
We used to have information-dense UIs before because:

• devices used to have only large screens with lower resolution.
• devices were used primarily be specialists for productivity.

Which means programs had to fit a lot of stuff in very few pixels. Nowadays, vast majority of users are casual, the people of the land, fatfingering their tiny displays. They don’t need a ton of buttons and sliders. In fact, a common user would get overwhelmed by all that, even on the desktop. And while a small amount of people would benefit from a denser UI for the same casual apps, it’s usually not with the effort designing and implementing them.

Is it short for Wartholomeow?

But the post is about censorship and controlling the narrative. WhatsApp doesn’t do that. If we are talking about corpo apps that do any sort of communication, then the list should be much longer.
