Dude, you enlighten me, that happened to me too but it was during the time I jumped between win and Linux and one day did the wifi card just stop working and I couldn’t figure out why, I tried many things without luck but some days it magicaly worked again and I haven’t been in windows since and have never had that problem again. I don’t know if I turned off fast boot (but I have done that many times so it is likely), so it could have been an update that turned it on. I will remember this if it happens to someone or myself again. Thank you!

Me too but I can’t breath when someone use it… So I thought I was the odd one

You are not alone my friend. I heard that Chinese ppl feel the same way as you do and pay ppl to remove the smell before using the car. I don’t know if it is because of the same reason tho haha

Yea, these kinds of topics are great. Makes you think.

You may even feel weirder because apparently you have a party trick and you didn’t even know it haha

I thought that was normal and I just had not learned how to not vibrate, I can vibrate my whole body by tensing up or whatever part I focus on. So I vibrate like crazy when I do the plank… Extremely annoying…

For me has ubuntu and pop os just worked with all my hardware. I have tried manjaro (it broke often after updates so I gave up on it. This was maybe 5 years ago), arch (worked great but got tired of the tinkering), mint (never wanted to work with my wifi and Bluetooth adapter so I don’t have a ton of experience with it), debian (too long ago for me to remember why I switched), ubuntu and now pop OS for 3 years and I won’t switch. I have only had problems with yakuza 1 (couldn’t save and input delays were crazy) and mafia 1(all icons for the game pad were blank) . I also own a steam deck and play a lot of games on it without any problems. But I do not mod that much, skyrim is the only one I heavily moded and I played it on windows. Cyberpunk did I mod some on my steam deck to fix bugs but it was bellow 30 mods.

Tldr; i am with kaldo! Pop OS is great! And yes I use Nvidia GPU and I have never had a problem with the drivers.

I am with you. We should use the ai as a tool to automate or remove things that is frustrating or in the way of the actual goal to help the customers. Plus I don’t think any model is good enough (yet) to act as tech support (they can use open ai if it was enough). I think ai is great as a tool tho. For example you can use it to go through a lot of documents of products, policies, other tickets and so on so the tech support person can find the relevant information faster. We can also use ai to create summerise of the call or take notes and so on. A lot of great potential to make everyone happier but I don’t believe in replacing actual ppl.

I think instead “be nice to the future you”, in the end do we do most things for our future self. It may be hard today but you will be happy you did it tomorrow.

Not a db, I just want to share one reason that happened to the startup I was working at.

The owners were thinking about keep business as usually which means paying more to the employees or scaling up which is very expensive, they only had small to medium sized companies as their customers(but many). Then this big company came from a different country, they were on a shopping spree buying a lot of companies(scaling up and taking over the market). The owners of the company I worked at were soon 65 or above 65 so they thought that it was a opportunity. Because if they sell then they don’t have to be worried about money after retirement. So they did. But they did think the company would be taken care of, but I think they also looked away from the bad stuff, wishing this would be great. Almost everyone left the company after a year or two (myself included), it was a sinking ship. Same goes for the other companies they acquired.

Tldr; selling the company to get retirement money while hoping the company will be taken cared of. Took only a year for ppl to leave because of how bad it was.

Do you know how the merch shops works? Spotify seems to be a reseller of some kind. How many % of the money is going to the artist usually?

I am getting scared… That is not a normal pay here for an experienced developer. Who gets over 10k a month?! Sign me up! I would say even 100k in a year is a lot for someone, 60k to 80k is a bit more normal. But we also get payed vacationdays (30 days) plus all of the payed holidays and half days, and payed sickleave (80% of your pay) and monthly pension (4-6% of the pay). But that does not cost 140k - 120k for a company, and that was low?..

Everyone think this is normal in the us?!

Winget like everyone said. But you can also download the exe with powershell if you know the url (otherwise just download the page and have fun finding the link haha)

seems i don’t have adhd then, nice!

Yea thought so, it feels a bit like horoscopes in newspaper sometimes. I only know two with adhd and they are both very extreme cases but polar opposite to each other so i don’t have anything to base these “facts” on.

Yea i was taught that parentheses is just wrapping extra information that you won’t read out loud and can be skipped. It was meant to be there to give more context for those that is not as well versed in the subject or helpful to point out things that may not be as obvious for the reader. For example “VIP(very important person)” or “a lot of things here are brown (the tables, chairs and floor)”.

But i never even thought about how parentheses should be used until now. My teachers never really said anything about them.

Is this an adhd thing?! I haven’t been diagnosed but this community makes me think too many times “i thought it was just me”.

Because of the tweet did i have to remove my bonus thought it felt unnatural in this context 😂

Back on track: Sometimes do i want to add a parentes in a parents and it hurts every time.

That could actually happen, it happens to me a lot. I use voyager and sometimes do i hold the vote slide too long. But (i hope) i always see it and fix it. Sometimes i need multiple tries, i vote too little to get good at it 😂

I earn money so I don’t need to use my freetime for things I don’t want to do. For example I dont make my own fabric and sew my own clothes I buy them. So it is a trading, time (hopefully fun time) for money (work) and money for time (services and things). Money is pointless if I don’t use it. Why spend time working if I won’t use it to buy time? And sure Spotify profile me so they can recommend music that I may like and I am fine with that because that is how I find new music anyways. I don’t use services like Google because of their tracking and always try to use a browser instead of apps if possible so I can use ublocker. It is always a priority thing you know. I could live outside the society (off grid, no tech) if I don’t want to be tracked or I can let some services track me because it is a lot more convenient for me in the grand scale of things.

Sure, being infected may not be a big risk for some I am only generalizing it. I am not saying you will be infected because I don’t know what sources you use I only said it is a risk. There are always malicious ppl and even trusted sources can be compromised and trusted companies with payed services. Just like it is a risk to jaywalk but it doesn’t mean you always risk your life doing so. But some are too naive like you said.

Just to add I am not trying to convince you, I just like discussing topics and different perspectives. I wish you happiness too.

You can download the songs automatically or manually on Spotify if you wish. You can set it so it can only download the song when you are using wifi. You can also turn on being only able to listen to songs you have downloaded when you are not using wifi. It is very seamless. I am lucky and live in a country with dirty cheap data plans so I don’t even care for that. But it is nice it exists when I travel outside of my country.

And pirating isn’t free, you and everyone who makes it possible for you to torrent is paying with your and their time and you are also paying for the risk for getting infected. But you do you I just wanted to correct the “free” part of your statement.

The page they linked doesn’t seem to exist. I think they wanted to share this one: https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/whitelisted

I checked the censored list and got surprised by how many pedophile instances exist…

What I found is only this kind of info about the instance (by clicking the instance in the list) https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world

So it seems like this is a site where other instances can guarantee other instances so you need to trust the ones that guarantees others.

You see in the footer who is in charge of the site and which instance: https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.dbzer0.com

Couldn’t find any financial info. But they got a community !fediseer@lemmy.dbzer0.com so you can ask there.

Pretty cool site tho if you want to find a new instances

Also art haha
