I think the rule is, “Don’t guess at that ever ever ever ever ever ever ever.”

13 Creepy Things Your Smartphone Knows About You in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (10 children)

Buy a faraday bag and keep your phone in it at all times unless you're using it or sitting at home. That's what I do.

It's extreme, but I don't see any other defense except not having a phone.

You screamed at me
  under a bright blue sky.

I looked up wishing
  you could see like I do.

Small clouds obscure
  with unsaid explanation,

All paths to us
  scattered and broken
   by our own unsteady steps.

Some tomorrow
  I will find a different sky,

Look again for you,
  and disappear in the blue.

Nope. I’m good.

McDonald’s reports largest U.S. same-store sales decline since 2020 in c/[email protected]

In the early 80's my mom left my abusive father, with 3 kids in tow, and managed to buy a (shitty) car, rent a (shitty) house, and feed all three of us with a waitress job at Golden fucking Corral (paying for child care while she was at work, too!), and all the while not getting a dime in support from dear alcoholic dad. It wasn't easy but it was possible. That's no longer true.

I have watched the world become impossible for younger people to thrive in, and it's really depressing.

Punctuation, my man. It’s important.

I gave them every opportunity to do the right thing. I’m only trying to warn others.

Skilhunt has really shitty customer service. They sold me a flashlight with a broken charger and refused to replace it.

Does humanism lead to tolerance paradox? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 days ago (3 children)

No. People who call out the 'tolerance paradox' are misunderstanding social tolerance. Tolerance of other humans is part our social contract to live with each other without violence. If you abandon the social contract by being hateful or violent to others, you are no longer protected by it. There is no paradox.

How do you guys manage your iOS device(s)? (lemmy.world)
 

Switched to Linux a little over a year ago and it's been great, but one thing eludes me. What's the best way to do the following when you don't use Windows or MacOS?

  1. Manage music collection - on Windows I used iTunes to sync my mp3's to the phone. Is there a linux solution?

  2. Manage SMS from desktop - I'd like to be able to read and reply to SMS messages on my iPhone from the linux PC right in front of me instead of this rinky dink iPhone soft keyboard. Is this possible?

And how the hell does anyone but a child type on an iPhone anyway, while we're at it? (rhetorical) Grrrr.

Thanks!

Do you have a unique pet name for your sweetheart? (lemmy.world)
 

I would love to hear stories about how you came up with whatever unique name you call your SO. Nothing graphic and don’t doxx yourself, I just think some nice stories like that would be fun for everyone in these ridiculous times.

My cats fully agree with this assessment.

I don't miss those days. Restaurants were the worst. Yes, your smoke is able to go over the invisible nonexistent fucking barrier between your seats and mine.

A huge win for animal rights. It's not perfect, but we shouldn't let the absence of perfection get in the way of celebrating progress.

edit: Edited the title to clarify this is only for Mexico City, not all of Mexico.

TIL the owner of the Segway company died driving his Segway off a cliff less than a year after he bought the company. (en.m.wikipedia.org)
 

This guy went to great lengths to acquire the thing (and the company that makes the thing) that ultimately killed him.

New player guide? (lemmy.world)
 

I hate that I have to ask this but the internet is awash in garbage these days and I hate sorting through it. Does anyone have a link to a good new player guide for this game? I installed it on Tumbleweed and tried it for a few minutes but had absolutely no clue what was going on. The love everyone has for this game makes me want to give a decent shot though!

Blueprint compatibility with 1.0? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm so psyched about the Satisfactory 1.0 launch and I just finished Dyson Sphere Project so I'm fidgeting looking for something to do. Don't want to get sucked into a new game, so I thought maybe I could kill the next couple weeks by making a bunch of sweet blueprints in the current release before 1.0 comes out, especially to help speed up the early and mid games which I've played through 3 times now. Does anyone know if they are planning to change anything in 1.0 that would make current blueprints incompatible?

Also is there an editor or god mode where I can just sit making blueprints instead of having to farm resources just to play with blueprints? I don't want to start an actual playthrough until 1.0 comes out.
