Another thing blowing my mind is the complete lack of screen brightness support. World oot on a few Linux distros I found. My keyboard has the keys, let me dim my damn main screen with those instead of the finicky buttons on the screen

Time to install Linux. I’m busy setting up family with Mint this holiday season to keep their rarely used devices alive.

The law and order crowed disagrees with laws or their enforcement surprisingly often

Switching back to Android with a OnePlus was pretty easy last year. Moved stuff and It even matched many of the installed apps. I’m all for making that even better

Someone should print this on a t-shirt. Or stickers. Both!

Regardless of whether or not they’re from the same day and what caffeine does: that’s so much waste! If you drink at the same place, get a fucking reusable cup! Cutting down on this nonsense would do so much more than damn paper straws. It’s not even hard. Drinking out of a nice cup is more enjoyable too. I really hate when I forgot my thermos or a store refuses to fill it

Totally. You don’t need to pretend to cry to make a point. I rarely cry but if I do it’s usually a relief to get it out. If the kids are around so be it. I don’t want to pretend to them that those feelings aren’t valid.

In general, yes, kids don’t need to know about all the little troubles of adulthood. But when you have a rare situation that makes you incredibly sad, like hearing of a friend passing away, being overburdened by stress at Work, … It’s better that kids know that crying is okay, others can take care of you and you get better again.

Healthy dads cry.

Desktop on a 3060 Ti is doing fine. Never ran Windows on it to compare though

This sounds awesome! If what you’re talking about is a new software you’re working on, hit me up! I have time to spare for some coding and have literally considered writing a better feed reader for myself or finding an OSS project to contribute to

But the problem is the lack of good, simple RSS readers on mobile. I miss Pulse.

Nice

Thanks for educating me! I seriously had no idea. The accident rings a bell though

Worse: they have a PowerPoint slide behind them showing 99% of the stuff they’re saying and you’re done reading the slide when their audio track is only 20% in

Neve heard of them until now. But wouldn’t be surprised if they chose their name based on the initials.

Oh and “NS” like in NSDAP is also a pure coincidence?

NS clearly signifies “national socialism” , i.e. what Hitler’s party called their ideology. Don’t evne worry about the lightning shaped rune in the center.

After testing a bunch I am now using HERE WeGo maps a lot. Less detailed on local shops and restaurants but has some reviews, opening hours etc Has great route planning including for bike and public transport.

More free would be CoMaps but that’s really mostly grey’s mapping and turn-by-turn and very little info on shops apart from them existing.

I’m glad I’m not the only one slightly confused
