Doesn't matter that much for Blu-rays since they're non-organic anyway. It mattered more for DVDs since they use organic dyes, but I couldn't find any M-Disc DVDs in Poland.

Which brand do you use? Not a single Verbatim has ever failed me, neither DVD nor Blu-ray. I also use a full-size burner with 12V SATA-USB adapter, not those stupid "slim" ones.

If I wanted to watch movies destroyed by compression, I'd go streaming. Blu-ray allows for way less compression. There's a reason Blu-ray remuxes aren't DVD-sized. Heck, some movies don't even fit on a single layer Blu-ray! Do you want to compress that to 4.7 GB? And that's only main title, without extras!

At least OF came to their senses and that's why they're still thriving.

Holy shit, it's like User Inyerface, but for stoves!

Android should automatically clean these up afaik

NOOOOOOOOOO! DO NOT. EVEN. SUGGEST. THAT.
I've got hundreds of tabs opened, if Android cleaned them automatically it'd be like burning my own Library of Alexandria.

JUST FIVE?! Holy shit dude, how much of bad UI/UX have you been through?

My boss traded in a pixel 1

He probably didn't realize having Pixel 1 means unlimited lifetime Google Photos backup in original quality... I bought a 50-60$ used one just for that purpose.

Samsung's official service center refused to not wipe the phone after a screen replacement, because "procedures". Paying extra wasn't even an option! So I said "fuck them" and took my Note 9 to an independent repairman who did it at half the official price because he could separate broken glass from a working screen and replace just the former. I simply turned the phone off and trusted Samsung Secure Startup encryption before handing it over to the guy. That was the moment I thanked myself for turning on full-disk encryption.

Like if I didn't have any mess in my bookmarks as well...

Apart from that, a tab open means a task to do. I can bookmark an interesting tab only if I've "been there" already, e.g. if I've already read an article cover to cover.

And you have to edit almost all of the pictures afterwards since neither DSLRs nor mirrorless cameras have automated post-processing that smartphones have. I'd love to upgrade my small Fujifilm X-T100 with GCam algorithms and I'd F-KING KILL for pairing it with DxO DeepPRIME denoising algorithm. Heck, these two would be fine additions to my Galaxy Note 9! No wonder @CherenkovBlue@iusearchlinux.fyi uses Pixel 6, it's perfect for a quick snap in good light.

What do you need a touchscreen for? You just take an appropriate pump (E95, Diesel), fill the fuel and pay at the register.

Intellectual "property" shouldn't exist. The property system was designed to solve the scarcity of physical goods. Information doesn't have this problem since it can be replicated forever as long as you have a medium to copy it to. That's why you can't own information. Once created, it lives its own life, whenever you like it or not.

2.9 stars in Poland. Not bad :)

I've got a hard nut to crack as well, my Note 9 is peak Samsung and I can't find a replacement that has stylus, 3.5 mm jack, microSD and capacitive fingerprint scanner (in-display ones suck, at least on A50 from my workplace).

Is the last one an absolute requirement?

No, but it must match capacitive reader's performance.

I've just checked the 2023 version of Moto G Stylus and... IPS? Seriously, Motorola? Sorry, devil wears Prada and flagships wear AMOLED.

Oh, yeah. I forgot that G Stylus isn't supposed to be a flagship. Duh.

Thank you for suggesting something anyway. Guess I'll stick to the Note 9 and keep fixing it until the world dies.

Rain bad; one droplet is too much of rain.

-f 140 is AAC, please don't do that. -f 251 is better since it's Opus, the best versatile lossy codec so far.

OPUS files

Ah yes, a man of culture

Ah, so that's what they use in a cremation chamber nowadays...

I've got an f-word as well: removed

EDIT: all I wanted to say was colloquial British name for cigarette, but lemmy.world has this word filtered lol
Thankfully I've got a spare account on lemm.ee

My ReVanced says 🇵🇱 WYPIERDALAĆ 🇵🇱

SYM MaxSym 600i ABS, this 565cc maxi-scooter is the first to launch from a green light in cities and has nothing to be ashamed of on highways since it can do 160 kph with some spare power still remaining.

I deleted all my comments on Reddit, all of my posts, and then toasted my user account

Are you sure about that? There were some reported cases of Reddit bringing back the content. They only listen to GDPR complaints (or that one Californian equivalent).

Not only that, but also exporting & importing comments, keeping their creation time like if they were originally made on that instance.

A fully enclosed velomobile would probably do the job, but I don't think it's legal anywhere in Europe :(

Mandatory Website Obesity Crisis mention, TL;DR:

Some kind of brain parasite infected designers back when the iPad came out, and they haven’t recovered. Everything now has to look like a touchscreen.

My gripe with this design aesthetic is the loss of information density. I'm an adult human being sitting at a large display, with a mouse and keyboard. I deserve better. Not every interface should be designed for someone surfing the web from their toilet.

It's like we woke up one morning in 2008 to find that our Lego had all turned to Duplo. Sites that used to show useful data now look like cartoons. Interface elements are big and chunky. Any hint of complexity has been pushed deep into some sub-hamburger. Sites target novice users on touchscreens at everyone else's expense.

I shouldn't need sled dogs and pemmican to navigate your visual design.

Eating ass, but now literally

whether it’s worth the price

You don't have to pay Google a penny. I bought a quite cheap (50-60$) used but working Pixel 1 XL specifically for unlimited lifetime full-quality Google Photos upload.

You take the exam on cars provided by either the examiner or your driving school.

The second option usually happens only if you wanna get an automatic-only car driving license (B78), like me. I had to pay my instructor for renting me his car for the exam's duration – standard practice, especially since it was his "daily" after working hours.

If you’re super lucky you get to take it on the car you used the most while learning

If you want to get the full driving license (B) and have no disabilities, you learn on a driving school's manual and take an exam on an examination center's manual. They're separate entities, so you never get the same physical car. At least the model should be the same – driving schools usually match their fleet with whichever model local examination center picked. E.g. in Warsaw it's Hyundai i20, so most (if not all) schools teach on Hyundai i20.

depends how cars get allocated

Like I've said before, examination center's cars are never used for teaching. That's driving school's job.

Screw MP3, Opus is better.

Apparently that includes voting machines.

I told a pedophile in dm’s (he messaged me first and I said I was 16)

He might be an asshole, but definitely not a pedo. 15 is legal age of consent e.g. in Poland. Beyond puberty = not pedo.

it’s frequently 10 Fahrenheit or lower in the winter

Fair enough, we don't hit such temperatures regularly in Warsaw (Poland).

a literal freezing steering wheel

Is it that bad? Wow. Didn't know that. I though the cage would provide at least some thermal insulation.

hold on to it for 10 mins until the heat kicks on

If my colleagues lived in a climate as cold as yours, they'd have mounted parking heaters (e.g. Webasto) by now. Electrics struggle in cold, but they can preheat themselves before the ride, using just the electricity.

I’m assuming you live in a warm place

Warsaw is at the same latitude as Edmonton in Canada, so shouldn't be really that warmer.

or don’t drive a car

Winter 2022/23 was when we still were in our previous office. It was ½ hour long commute with my Xiaomi M365 electric scooter. This winter 2023/24 we moved to an office further away, so I was forced to change my daily vehicle to a motorcycle, maxiscooter SYM MaxSym 600i ABS. At least you have the goddamn cage.

Wish I had public transportation.

I miss having good alternative commute via metro and tram to our old office. Took almost the same time as e-scooter. But our new office? Public transit takes 2x as long as a motorcycle commute, according to Google Maps Timeline, so might as well not exist. So now we're in similar situation. Wish you luck...

after the first few it was about 90 tabs of (teen) porn

I better hope you saved the links. Just asking for a friend.

wear gloves when driving

For example?
If it's so cold that you wear gloves, then get your AC fixed because it should've been running by the time you drive off.
