I’ve had fewer issues when using servers in Asia.

You mentioned you have hobbies and you travel. Maybe see if you can find a career path from those? I know there’s the risk of ruining a hobby by doing it for a living, but it might be worth a shot since you don’t have anything else in mind at the moment.

I love the automatic time converter. So convenient! Thanks for setting this up. I voted.

Wait, I thought the movie was doing well? I haven’t seen it yet, but reading the article it seems like this is more of a PR stunt and marketing gimmick to align with what happens in the movie. Apparently it’s revealed they are the new Avengers, so spoilers for everyone (including me) who hasn’t seen it yet I guess.

Because lemmy (forums) is built for following discussions, while mastodon (microblogging) is built for following people. Unless you’re popular and have many followers, you’ll have better engagement in a forum because people follow the topic being discussed, not the person discussing the topic.

Same pair as you (34” curved and 27” portrait), but with the 27 on the right, and my laptop below the 34.

That’s definitely something that goes into your resume and should be mentioned in interviews if you ever pursue that line of work.

Same. After years of neglect, I finally had everything fixed at the same time. After 2 years of dental work and thousands spent out-of-pocket, I now floss and brush religiously.

I believe Firefox is installed by default on Mint, so install uBO.

Transmission.

Veracrypt.

Audacious.

Haven’t gone out yet, but we’re looking at a counter-height table. Square for the aesthetic but might just go for a reactangle for more useable space. Definitely not looking at getting a massive one.

Shop for a dining furniture set that sits 4 people. We just eat at the kitchen bar but since we’re having guests for the first time next month, we need a proper dining table.

Are they also running experiments on the AITA, AIO, etc. subs? Because I feel like 90% of the posts there are fiction.

Can’t say about Amazon and Google because I don’t have their devices, but if you read up on how Siri’s cue word works, you’ll see how it doesn’t “listen” to you all the time. It has 2 mechanisms in play, one that’s always ready to hear you call it, and the other that actually transmits the data it collects. Those 2 are decoupled to ensure the one waiting for the trigger/cue word is isolated and only works locally and does not collect or transmit what it’s hearing. Once you trigger it, the second mechanism comes in and then it’s fair game as whatever it hears can be collected and shared.

Having your phone listen to you all the time and transmit the info will cause an obvious drain on your battery and data. If that truly was the case, mobile security professionals would’ve sounded the alarm by now.

Exposed S3 bucket? Yep, exposed S3 bucket.

I’m bad at haggling but I try to do it when buying used items on online marketplaces.

I toggle it by flipping it like a switch with my thumb and index finger.

Yeah, and without additional cost if you’re already subscribed. So people would be more inclined to watch a movie they heard was terrible on their TV for “free” than pay for it at the cinema.

I don’t remember my dreams more than a couple of days back let alone immediately after waking up most of the time, so the most recent one I remember was 2 nights ago. I was singing Still A Friend of Mine as a duet with Maysa Leak and while singing, she was scratching away a piece of dry skin on my forehead.

I don’t even see what point you’re trying to make. All I said in my first comment is that having the car drive itself from the factory to your house saves Tesla the hassle of delivering it to you, and it will put unnecessary miles and wear & tear on the car before you even get to drive it.

That was my first comment right? Now look at your reply to that. So I explained that a car can be delivered to your house on a flatbed truck where it won’t put on said unnecessary miles and wear & tear. No imaginary special concierge needed to pick you up and take you to a dealership to get your car. Do you agree? If yes, then I think the conversation has reached a conclusion.
