Oof, sounds like we really need a new, better put together version of the protocol. I wonder if the W3C would be good to do that.

Sounds like the protocol needs an upgrade if people are doing funny stuff like that. No?

It was always a mystery that they maintained two features with basically the same function in parallel for so long. Hopefully they made it better than the last time I gave it a try, because otherwise, oof.

Aw. Wish that worked on mobile.

It's this menu, accessible through the notification. Honestly I just try each of them in order even if they don't seem to make sense for what I'm trying to do.

I don't remember which one works, but I know it's not always what I expected.

Do you get the pop-up about on your phone about having plugged in a device to your phone? Have you tried a different, seemingly less preferable option?

I remember I had a phone where I had to choose an option that didn't seem like the right one at all for my PC to see it.

Also, do you have another PC/OS installed? Just to see if you can eliminate variables.

Ergh, I always ignore the lore anyway.

Well okay if one tenant is renting the whole building it's different.

For the SUM of your tenants' rent to pay for your mortgage and most of the upkeep? Probably fair.

For ONE tenant to cover the whole mortgage? Geez, that's not nice, to put it softly.

Thanks. I appreciate the encouragement. Maybe one day!

Though even snowboarding I haven't had the opportunity to go in years. It is pretty boring alone, after all.

My main issue is that the beginner's stance they teach you is trying to maintain a pie shape to reduce your speed as you go down. The problem is that the skis want to either be parallel, either go fully horizontal. It takes a ton of effort to resist the skis' tendency to align themselves that way, and the consequences for failure are dramatic.

There's assuredly a way to make it easier, but with the trauma I have, I'm not sure I'll want to give it another try.

 

One thing I liked (and sometimes disliked) about Reddit was that my feed was a mix of posts in communities I'd joined and a few suggestions of posts from subs The Algorithm™ thought I might like.

On Lemmy I'm realizing I'm starting to fall into a bit of an echo chamber situation because I basically only see stuff I'm already a member of, unless I explicitly go to All or scroll the list of communities.

Are there less involved (lazy) ways of discovering new stuff and broadening my horizons a bit?

 

Sometimes, when I'm really cold, it can take over an hour to warm me up, even with a heating blanket. The quickest solution, a hot shower, feels really inefficient with all the heat going down the drain.

That got me thinking about microwaves. They heat food (partly) from the inside, contrary to simple infrared radiation.

Could we safely do that with people?

I found a Reddit thread where a non-lethal weapon and people getting eye damage because they stayed too long in front of a radar dish.

Could some sort of device be made that would warm specific areas (say, a hand or a leg) without endangering sensitive areas like the eyes?

Would it actually warm someone up from the inside? Would it be possible to make it safe?

Would it present advantages in cases of hypothermia, compared to heated IV fluids?

 

I don't see how it's a benefit to capitalism or companies or, well, anyone, really, to allow people to make thousands of trades a day for minute profits on each.

My gut feeling is that the stock market would not suffer, and less resources would be wasted, if trades and updates to stock prices were limited to, say, one batch per hour.

There are probably reasons the system is the way it is though.
