Pull your arms into the sweater and take it off over your head

Isn't a process happening gradually over years "slowly"?

Don't know how to solve your problem but I too recently made the switch from gnome to KDE and I really do love everything they do design-wise. Everything being so round in gnome for some reason makes me feel like I'm in a childrens playspace haha

This demonstrates in a really layman-understandable way some of the shortcomings of LLMs as a whole, I think.

I knew it wasn't going far when I heard the service was being run by having a farm of mac servers acting as the bridge and that you needed to give over your apple credentials to use it.

Unpaywalled article: At 12ft ladder

You may be confusing the Las Vegas Loop and the Hyperloop. Las Vegas Loop is the shitty tunnel you drive teslas single file through in Las Vegas, Hyperloop was the "vacuum tube frictionless train replacement" that was used to reduce excitement about the high speed rail proposal.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I think they're arguing that unless you make yourself easily replaceable, you don't have to make it a negotiation. They aren't arguing the law, they're just talking power dynamics.

Ugh. All the cool stores don't ship to canada

Not all gas, coal and oil are consumed to generate electricity. Lots is converted directly to energy in engines, furnaces, or other direct uses for the materials. They are saying that the title refers to 40% of the total electricity production is generated by renewables.

Yes, but it may be worth looking up the conversion rate from AUD to USD before making that comparison directly.

But most of all... I'M LOOSE

We wanted 60fps mode for other systems, but a switch port is most definitely going to be the opposite of a 60fps mode was the point I think.

I was ready for it to be loss but I'm glad it was something else

You can drag the line in the middle back and forth to show the whole place before or after.

Excuse me, the meme very clearly specifies it is a form of ballista since it works off of bent spring power

That's actually what the tab heading says if you open it in browser. "Google Graveyard - Killed by Google"

Lemmy got me into putting together a homelab. I started with just a NAS but now I'm upgrading it and setting up a whole stack of docker services. I'll probably eventually set up a personal lemmy instance for fun. It's frustrating at times, but its very rewarding hosting fun little services for myself and my friends!

I recently moved closer to work, so now my commute is a 10-15 minute ebike ride. I really enjoy the ride, and (along with a small dose of caffeine) it really serves to wake me up in the morning. Basically my only complaint is that when it gets cold and rainy it can be hard to bring up the motivation to get on and ride. Honestly though, it's nothing that can't be overcome by some good rain gear. Honestly, I highly recommend going out and taking a nice ebike for a ride if anyone is on the fence about it. I was convinced pretty quickly.

I am so confused by your comment. Did you comment on the right post? What would you make smell bad in this context

I use it one-handed. My pinky supports the bottom of the phone, rest of the fingers support the back, I navigate with my thumb. If I need to type for an extended period of time I use both thumbs to type more quickly. I use the Galaxy Note 10+ which I think is well into being considered a large phone

Right now that is a bit of a sticking point with Lemmy. Right now, as far as I can tell, none of the apps for lemmy really do discovery.

If you are on an instance with a large amount of people, the easiest way is probably your instance's communities list. This can be found by going to your lemmy instances web domain (in your case programming.dev) and log in. On desktop it will just show a little "communities" link in the top left you can click on, on the mobile site you have to tap trending -> explore communities.

What this "communities" list does is list every community that anyone on your instance has subscribed to. Subscriber and daily active user numbers may not be accurate as they as far as I can tell only count your instance's users.

What I did when I first started lemmy was go through this list and subscribe to any community that remotely interested me.

The place where you will be able to see the absolute most number of communities is a lemmy indexer like lemmyverse.net which lists almost all instances and has all of their communities listed.

Other than that, though, I think discoverability is something actively being developed on the lemmy platform.

Hope this was helpful and you enjoy your time here o7

I personally still find it a little confusing. Maybe something like "Tails updates to Linux Kernel 5.16.1 to fix critical vulnerability"

Does that say Twink Land?

The best news I've heard all week!

There's a fork of openboard that you can add the DLL for google swipe typing to. I'm currently using it and the swipe works as well as gboard

I see what you're saying but you're comparing $500-1500 for a PC to the millions of dollars you need to even prototype an F1 car, let alone transport and race it.

I've tried a few and Thunder is my favourite, plus it's F/OSS

Google has R&D ADHD. They get halfway to refining good ideas and then drop them for the new shiny. From the interviews with engineers in the article it seems like it comes from senior management.

+1 on darn tough. Only socks I own that I dont destroy in a week

Your point regarding the legalities of the situation wasn't missed. I agree with you that we need rights, but the point on the other side is while they can indeed say no, they cannot compel you to come in through means other than threatening firing you. They can say no and attempt to intimidate you, but firing and retraining for most non-entry level roles is a lot of work and often not worth the time and effort compared to letting an employee have a week off.

So while it is formally a request, we as employees can present it as an ultimatum and often if you aren't terrible at your job, the power-tripping boss will realize it is easier for them to acquiesce and let you have your vacation than it is to go through the hiring process.

Yes. These are all android apps from the f-droid app store

You've got it right. English just sucks lol. It's pokey
