Warehouses are dirty.

Can we have one mention of windows or macOS without someone coming shilling Linux all smug and superior?

I’m extremely tech savvy, a software engineer and nerd of decades, so I got sick of seeing all the Linux stuff and decided to wipe windows last week.

Installed fedora, set up networking and then the Nvidia Proprietary drivers and did whatever it needed to do with secure boot.

Powered off and on and boom no network connectivity at all and not sure what happened.

Suffice to say it piqued my inner nerd and I’ll put hours into setting this up again as it’s fun, I’ve gone Arch btw, but let’s not pretend that the average user is going to have an easier experience than they would on windows or Mac.

And that’s perfectly fine, life would be dull if we all liked and disliked the same things.

Thanks for the answer.

I find it fascinating to graph things like this and the trends you can notice. Which further highlights how big corporations are able to make insane predications because of the sheer number of data points they have.

What caused the massive spike in humidity in the bedroom shortly before midnight?

My mind went to a dirty place is all I’m saying.

Any idea the area based on the phone number?

Not American so not sure how your area codes work and I can’t remember the Ludacris tune about hoes in different area codes.

Ey r rkid there ain’t no need for that you muppet

Buy me those items and I’ll dress like that. Send the receipts too please.

Which isn’t specifically about sleep or anything.

I believe it means God willing.

Mashallah is similar and means something like God willed it (made it happen).

You should know that things you might find normal or acceptable are not the same things that neurodivergent people find normal and that’s ok we all have different experiences and we should be tolerant of those.

I’m not saying OP is neurodivergent but I am and I might do things you think are odd as I might with you.

Furthermore even if a card is skimmed these days, at least in the UK, it’s still unlikely transactions would be processed online.

That’s because it’s become so commonplace now for transactions to pop-up in the banks app on the owners phone and they must confirm the transaction and / or receive a code via SMS. Some just use SMS as a means to confirm a transaction.

I guess one vector for attack still remains and that is SIM swapping, but even that is more difficult these days due to widespread awareness from carriers.

No problem. I just want to say your English is amazing for a non-native speaker / writer.

Also, I carry my burdens around the home like Sisyphus so there is that 😂.

I’m not sure if you’re being serious right now and it doesn’t help that my Greek mythology knowledge is severely lacking (something I’ve wanted to learn more about).

So in case you don’t know what I’m talking about, indoor bouldering is like indoor rock climbing but not so high you need a belay system. Also, the climbs imitate boulders and so you might climb with all the holds being above your head, like the top of a cave.

As an expert in hobbies, I can honestly say this is freaking amazing. It’s got physical activity mixed in with problem solving and all the people I’ve talked to are super nice too (geeks, we are all geeks). If anything like me I find it hard to turn off my mind; this does that for me though. It’s meditative for me.

No no it’s PDF file (I know the second file is redundant but that is the trend on YouTube to not get demonetised).

Edit: I got curious and it turns out the file isn’t redundant as the F is for format. Portable Document Format. TIL

My hobby is hobbies. I start something spend whatever money I want whilst it entertains me and then drop it without reason and move on to something else. Some I will come back to years later.

The curse of ADHD.

When friends comment on my ever changing hobbies and dropping them, my reply is simple; it’s the journey for me and not the end goal.

Current hobbies and durations:

• Rubik’s Cube - 6 years
• Indoor bouldering - 4 months
• Running - 25 years on and off, currently off.
• Lego - 1 week. Only have one set. The Bonsai Tree.
• 3D Printing - 2 years but off right now until I can get a new printer that isn’t so high maintenance.

I know it’s irrational but at this point if I bought premium I would feel like I’ve been bullied into it.

It would feel less sour if they didn’t lock other features like background play into premium, for me that’s too much of a dark pattern to support.

Good point. Although, I would question whether Lemmy is such a place as we really don’t have the numbers to warrant the effort, imo.

What’s the most interesting thing you could tell us about CPU design, something that a layman could appreciate.

You should know as a software developer I write inefficient code and appreciate all the extra clock cycles we get these days haha.

This is what pisses me off about people that go on about I’m sick of this woke society or sick of these “crazy trans people”, or whatever else.

And I’m like brother I do not care and most people do not care. Let people do what they want it ain’t that deep. I’m off the view if it doesn’t negatively affect me then what business is it of mine how people live their life. The things they get outraged over is just from some minority of loons on Twitter and not everybody.
