The only Android devices I've seen last for years are Huawei phones.
Hmm, interesting. Where are you from?
Men, how well do you know your best male friends?
I keep seeing men online (Reddit, Instagram, TikTok) saying how they don't know personal details about their male friends of several years. It is mostly said in a proud context, or in disbelief when a woman talks about it.
I'm talking about knowing someone for years and not knowing what they do for work specifically, their relationship status/major issues, their life goals, their family situation, birthdays, and stuff like that.
For context, I am a man in my 20s. I have a close friend group of around 10 people. We all know each other very well. We have a group chat, and meet at least once a week (obviously some people can't always make it). We know a lot of details about each other, so this idea of being close friends with someone and not knowing personal stuff about each other seems foreign and weird to me.
Does it actually happen, or just internet hyperbole?
If you are still somewhat young, its better to use a pseudonym. I'm not sure how "spicy" we are talking, but you might not be as much of an "extremist" when you grow up, so it's better to not have these ideas permanently linked to your name. It might even affect job prospects, no matter whether you change your ideology or not.
I can't manage to make Kate look half descent on Mint (Cinnamon). It does look great on Plasma
I am aware of this one, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I think I'll start using Kate, and contribute whatever features I'm missing if I can.
Visual Studio Code alternatives for Linux?
While I understand the lack of proper open source alternatives for some software like AutoCAD and After Effects, it always felt weird that the best IDEs/Text Editors are made by big corporations, because you know, these are the tools programmers use.
I tried vim/neovim, which I enjoy using, but I've come to prefer visual editors instead of text based. Kate looks promising, and I'm willing to contribute to it in my free time, but it just has that "amateurish" feel to it that I can't explain.
Anyone aware of other alternatives?
Exactly. I'm a mod in a few subreddits, the biggest of which is /r/Showerthoughts. People don't notice our existence unless we interact with them directly, and you rarely interact with users unless to ban them or to remove their content. So it is expected to be hated.
He is not denying that they are building settlemens. He just doesn't consider it occupation. Anything for more donors, I suppose.
TIL Steven Russell escaped from prison by using laxatives to fake AIDS, then called the prison posing as a doctor, asking for prisoners interested in an experimental treatment, and volunteered.
Once out of Texas, he sent a death certificate to the prison stating he had died.
I'm neither American, European, Russian, nor Chinese, and have no clear vested interest in any if them. Seeing how Americans view China as the "big evil" from the outside is just mind-boggling. Most of the bad stuff you think China did, they didn't. Some of the terrible stuff they did, the US did as well. They do have a bad side that the US doesn't have, but the US does some things worse than China.
Now its easy for the naive to just reply "whataboutism" to my comment and move on. But what I'm trying to say is that the world isn't black and white. The US isn't the "good guys", no one is. Take a look at some communities on Lemmygrad. You might change some of your views.
It is common in the middle east, with some leeway. Like if someone is sitting diagonal to you such that your foot isn't directly facing them, it's okay. Unless its a professional meeting, then having your foot up is just disrespectful, but I imagine that goes for most countries.
And because things are so chaotic, scammers are going to have a field day with this one.
Not knowing what is said exactly in the Poneglyphs we have already seen is infuriating
I'm talking about the Poneglyphs in Skypia, Alabasta, and Fish-Man Island for example. Like the one in FMI, we know its Joy Boy apologizing, but it would have been great if we had the full exact text.
Best single player Android games?
Looking for good games for Android. By good, I mean a game with a story, no ads or in-app purchases. I'm okay with paying for it, but I'm looking for a good experience. The game should be story-based, as in it has an ending, not an infinite game. Any recommendations?
Counting Android is just lying. ChromeOS and WSL are a stretch, but you can make an argument for them.
It's been a while since I used Jerboa. Will give it a try. Thanks to all contributers.
Changing the JWT secret does this. So instead of a button, its a line of code, making it less likely to be done by mistake.
Check the post date.
I posted this 2 years ago.
Yeah I posted this 2 years ago. The way "Active" sorting works in Lemmy, is you see the posts with recent comments. Someone commented on this, pushing it back to the front page.
HackerNews has an interesting approach: You can't downvote comments unless you reach a certain amount of "Karma", and you can't downvote posts at all, you can "flag" them, meaning you think they don't belong here. Flagging doesn't affect the vote count, but massive flagging does make the post appear lower in the feed, and alerts mods.
This, alongside the tight moderation and zero-tolerance towards flame wars in the comments makes HackerNews one of the best places on the internet imho.
Same. For me, upvote = adding something to the conversation. That's why I upvote most comments I come across, and rarely downvote people.
I'm on Android. Maybe this is default browser behavior on Android that doesn't exist on iOS.
Android or iOS?
Why make an app for Tildes instead of Lemmy?
I mean the dev is obviously free to work on whatever he wants, but I've had a Tildes account for like 2 years now, and honestly it never got any traction. Lemmy on the other hand is getting a lot of users, and it is desperately missing a non-buggy app.
Any specific reason?
I made a reddit Megathread on /r/Lemmy about what Lemmy is and how to join iy
Feel free to share it with people, or suggest any edits for me to make.
How to block an instance as a user?
When browsing All, I would like to block some instances, mainly those in a different language that just clutter my feed. Is that possible?
Hereditary (2018) Discussion Thread
Spoilers are allowed.
Whenever I finish watching a new movie, I like to go to Reddit and browse the discussion threads to see what people thought of it. From now on, I'll start a thread here if it doesn't already exist.
What did you think of the movie? How did you interpret the ending? Feel free to discuss anything about the movie you like.
What do you think of The Matrix: Resurrections?
No spoilers for Resurrections please, I've only watched the first 3 movies in the last couple of days. Yes, I know that I'm 20 years late to the party.
I think the first movie is great, I hated the long action scenes in the second (Neo vs the Smith army got boring after a couple of minutes, and added no value), and mostly enjoyed the third, even though it didn't really feel like a Matrix movie.
I've read that the fourth is terrible. Is that because it ruined people's nostalgia, or is it really that bad? I'm probably going to watch it either way, just like to hear your opinions.
