  • Literally the only thing we miss out on when ditching Windows.

  • Interesting! I hadn't heard of this before, I'll have to check it out.

  • M+ 1m has been my daily monospaced font ever since I found it, which is about eight years now. I don't see it come up often when people talk about monospaced fonts.

  • Emacs is real whether you like it or not.

    (Also I go past one of these billboards about once a week, and I've always been so curious about how many calls they get. Or what they say when you call. I should get a Google voice number and check it out.)

  • I definitely prefer the original, although the AAF version is right in the nostalgia sweet spot for me.

  • Sorry, I'm not sure what to do about that. That's odd, because I thought most electric kettles shut off when they detect the presence of steam, and I'm guessing that it isn't turning to steam yet at 189 F.

    There's a good video from Technology Connections about how they work (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yMMTVVJI4c), maybe you could try taking it apart and looking for the metallic strip inside? Although if that needs to be replaced, I'm not sure what you could do about that, since I'm guessing Bodum doesn't sell parts. There are a few "Bodum disassembly" videos on Youtube that might help.

    I have an Oxo electric gooseneck kettle, which also has an all metal body, in case you end up having to buy something different. Water boils at 95 C (203 F) here, and it reaches that temperature every time.

  • WELL I guess that means I'm not that unique after all.

    edit: Wait, "sinus cavity" does not mean "nostril." Nevermind, slightly different.

  • Same here. The FUTO keyboard seems to have the best swiping feature among open source keyboards.

  • I love the fact that they produced an installation DVD.

  • The fact that they made an installation DVD makes me so happy. :P They definitely know their audience. Immich has been great; my installation has been problem-free ever since I first set it up.

  • I agree that it's good to let users know that their votes are public, but I think it would be better to just tell them that (kind of like how Mastodon says "heads up, DMs are not encrypted") and not by also giving them easy access to that information. Simply because if it's easier for more people to do, then more people will be tempted to do it.

    I definitely agree that downvotes should be reconsidered entirely. It's basically outsourcing moderation duties to the users, not to mention that people will always incorrectly use it as a "disagree" button.

  • It accurately got them backwards, the same way I always do. :)

  • I'm not, and I've enjoyed the process of finding my own music again. I started buying music CDs; there's a used bookstore near me with a giant shelf of CDs for $1 each. I set up a music server (I chose Funkwhale, although Navidrome seems to be the more popular choice) that I upload everything to, so I can still stream things, it's just from my own server. And I bought an MP3 player.

  • True, but some UI decisions can make good behavior easier, or unhealthy behavior harder. Even if downvotes are technically public already, I think it's a good idea to at least have a little bit of a barrier up, to make it less tempting to check. Having to manually go to lemvotes provides a decent barrier.

    This is the first I've heard about it (I'm on piefed myself), but I don't think it's a good idea. People will get snippier when they have this info available to them.

  • Your misinterpretation is WAY more accurate than you realize, lol. Obsidian gained an almost cult-like following very quickly. It has made people obsessively document their day. They are hooked on it. Obsidian turned journaling into a drug. If a hardcover notebook is a fine cigar, Obsidian is a vape. You know who won't like me saying that? People who vape. They don't want to be compared to Obsidian users.

  • Sumo wrestling. OK, it definitely has more fans than "basically nobody," although it's not exactly popular in the west. I have noticed a couple of people talking about it on Mastodon, and there's a community at [email protected].

    A while ago I stumbled upon a TV broadcast one night when I couldn't sleep, and immediately found it interesting. Now I intentionally watch them live when I can, and otherwise catch replays the next day. A very exciting tournament just wrapped up a few days ago. The next one is in November.

  • This is a 10/10 YSK tip. I haven't had to untangle my headphones or charging cable after I learned this.

    Here is the same trick with a smaller cable, probably more like what most of us are coiling up every day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fsvANAT3yg&t=160s (start at 2:40)

  • PC Gaming @lemmy.ca

    Do you still play any PC games on a physical disc? Or, when did you last do that?
