Not sure if everyone knows this, but: if you don’t want to answer the question—you don’t have to post a reply! Crazy idea, I know.

looks at companies forcing RTO 👀

Unfortunately, I bet these guys don’t care. I used to work at a company you might have products from and I would constantly hear “Hey, we’re a business” as an excuse to degrade the user experience. :(

Arch, btw. With GNOME.

Just yesterday, my manager asked me how often I was coming to office. I said 3 days.

Then he said (paraphrasing):

Well, okay. 3 days is the minimum, okay? Now, you know it’s up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. If you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then okay. But some people choose to come in more and we encourage that, okay?

I’ve always assumed this was a variation of the pro police brutality flag that Republicans like. I don’t think I’ve met any non-Republicans with these flag designs.

Lol. That’s what I was thinking. I feel like this meme should be reversed…

I was born in the US and have switched by myself. My brother thought I was weird until one day we went to the hardware store.

I needed to buy a 15/64 in drill bit, but they didn’t have it. So then we thought, fine, maybe we can use the next closest size…

…

Except WTF is the next size up or down from 15/64??!!! Neither of us could figure it out. Internet wasn’t great. Sales people didn’t know. We left because we weren’t sure what to buy.

In metric, it’s trivial. 5mm drill bit, 4mm is smaller, 6mm is bigger.

After this, he stopped thinking I was a weirdo for using metric measurements. But he still uses imperial because murica.

Also, interesting, I learned that he thinks imperial units were invented by the US. I told him they were British units and I stopped caring about British units in 1776, but he didn’t seem to believe me.

Wait, wait. Elon may have a huge issue because I own the “X” trademark!

Yeah, definitely shop! Ally has like 4% on their savings account!

I hate dongles with a passion. They’re so easy to lose. And for what? So your headphones work like normal? Not worth it.

Most people should use ext4. Only use something else if you want to tinker and don’t need long term data storage.

The right answer is use a password manager to generate and store a long password. Then it doesn’t matter.

I’m signed in to my lemmy.world account. When I try to upvote something from memes@lemmy.ml Liftoff says I have to sign in. I can view the post, I just can’t upvote.

Sometimes I click something and I get a pop up that says “View from lemmy.world” or something like that. When I click on that, then I can upvote.

Anyway, I just switched to Connect for Lemmy and it doesn’t have that issue. I’m signed into lemmy.world and don’t have to care what instance a post is on.

I want to login to 1 Lemmy server and never have to worry about logging into another instance. Currently using Lift Off, but it’s pretty annoying that I can’t just up-vote or comment on posts that are on different instances because I’m not logged in.

I thought that was the whole point of being federated, that I could interact with people on different instances.

If you want access to some underlying knobs and buttons, but without running your own email server, then Migadu might be interesting.

Trying to do this mentally:

1989 + 1 = 1990
2023 - 2000 = 23
2000 - 1990 = 10
23 + 10 = 33

33 - 1 = 32 Ha! Easy!.. Wait.

33 + 1 = 34 Shit. Double+1. Ok, I thought the -1 at the end would undo the +1 at the beginning. But, I guess the 2000-1990 messed me up.

Maybe

2000 - 1990 = 10
1990 - 1989 = 1
2023 - 2000 = 23
23 + 1 = 24
24 + 10 = 34

Because it doesn’t matter what my username is. It’s just a unique identifier for my data on Lemmy. I use my password generator to also generate short usernames.

I recently got a Kia with Android Auto and my Tesla-driving brother is jealous that I can use Google Maps on a big screen, with no extra car mount.

Na, I’m good. I never touch it, except to update my CV before I send it to recruiters. Don’t care for employee influencers.
