  • The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home.

  • I've never had a plumber not charge a callout fee. Same applies for any trade. Idk where you live that you don't, but in my experience, any kind of tradesperson will always charge a fee for their commute

  • Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

    Jump

  • I've never owned an iPhone, but I 100% agree with you. The reason I choose android is because of the freedom to use my phone how i want (for the most part).

    Apple is a walled garden, but their security is good, they're not an advertising company in the same way google is and don't have as much of an incentive to harvest and sell your data. If android is going to be a walled garden like iOS, I trust apple more than i do google and If in the future I can't find a phone that has all the features i want anyway, then i may as well just get an iPhone.

  • Those of you who install non-google-play apps (aka: sideloading), what's your gameplan for the upcoming Google restrictions on Sideloading?

    Jump

  • Idk if you're aware of this. But phones with headphones jacks still have Bluetooth. I use wireless earphones occasionally (and yes, it is horrible) but I also need to be able to plug in to my home hi-fi system

  • Honestly no idea. It's hard enough finding a phone with an audio jack, and now I have to find a phone with an audio jack, and an unlockable bootloader so I can install another OS?

    Just seems like my way of living is incompatible with modern society. It's all just too hard

  • Linux Desktop Share hits 6%... Will Adobe finally Support Linux?

    Jump

  • Why does it need to be non cloud based? I use onshape and it's reasonably good

  • Who is the next Daft Punk (earlier stuff) to you?

  • Yeah looks like it's only a north American tour. That's a shame. Most people aren't willing to go to the US right now, including me.

  • How do you handle overeating caused by boredom and innatentiveness?

    Jump

  • I don't think snacking and overeating have to go hand in hand. You can snack without overeating - if you know you're a big snacker, try having smaller portions at meal time to compensate for it.

    Replace snacking with drinking water or chewing on ice cubes. It's the same stimuli, and it's healthy.

    Celery sticks/carrot sticks are good, healthy and give you something to bite into that isn't ice. 1 carrot gives you probably 20 carrot sticks, which would probably get you through a movie. And I wouldn't be concerned about 1 carrots worth of extra calories a day.

    Or a charcuterie board, not as healthy as above but at least it's not full of sugar. Having some crackers with hummus, and some cornichons is a relatively healthy snack, maybe some cherry tomatoes and prosciutto, and a little bit of cheese to go with it although that's getting into meal territory - but I found that if I'm having a charcuterie board for dinner, you can drag it out, eat it over a couple hours, slowing down your intake and satisfying your craving for snacking without it being in addition to a meal - it is the meal.

    Lastly, if you only snack when you're bored, don't get bored (lol easier said than done). I find that I love a project and when I'm working on a project time flies and I haven't eaten anything because I've been busy.

  • David does not walk, talk or eat independently. He is visually impaired and has hearing loss. He has an unrepaired cleft palate open to protruding brain tissue, covered by a thin layer of mucous membrane.

    Poor fucking kid. Nobody deserves to live like this. Not only can he not eat by himself, he can't walk or talk, see or hear properly. His ability to interact with the world is almost non existent

  • 7 years later, Valve's Proton has been an incredible game-changer for Linux

  • when you buy a banana at the grocery store, show me the receipt that you paid for the shipping of said banana. When you buy a computer keyboard, show me the receipt for the 'F' key. When you buy a TV, show me the receipt for the capacitors.

    This is not how receipts work.

  • macOS is absolutely not free, and your argument is exactly the same as those examples the previous user provided.

  • I've never heard someone refer to New Caledonia as NC before

  • I laughed when a guy came in from Doordash and picked up one can of Formula. I thought crazy someone would do that. But he claimed that he once delivered a candy bar. Anyone know if that possible?

  • Idk what you're on about. Why do you think I have excess wealth? I grew up homeless and have worked hard for everything I have. I hold down a job, the times Im suffering so badly I can't get out of bed are few and far between but they do happen. And in those low desperate moment sometimes I'll order uber eats, fuck me right?

    You're right the vast majority of people with depression still have to go to work, and that includes me.

    Depression is a mental disorder, of course it's in my head. Do you think depression occurs in the lungs??

  • Thanks, hope I didn't come off as rude. Just that there are reasons some people might appear to be lazy when in reality they're battling demons

  • I've dealt with mental health issues my entire life. Crippling depression and anxiety means somedays I physically cannot even get out of bed, let alone leave the house and walk to the shops where there are a bunch of people.

    I've used uber eats like this before. I wouldn't consider myself lazy, just somedays I'm not ok and physically cannot face the supermarket. It's not a good feeling to do this, it's not laziness, it's a last resort.

    Be thankful you're not in a position like this, and maybe try to see it from another perspective

  • Hyundai wants Ioniq 5 owners to pay to fix a keyless entry security hole

  • That was a great read. Thanks for sharing

  • In the star wars holiday special, there's a segment where Princess Leia sings. This act retroactively makes her a legitimate Disney princess.

    Jump

  • Why is singing the deciding factor? She is a princess in a franchise owned by Disney, is that not enough?

  • We had this in my house growing up

    Jump

  • I'm not that old, and we were in poverty growing up so didn't have anything even remotely like this.

    But now that I'm older with a decent job, one of my favourite things I've bought for myself is a nice stereo system. It feels like such a nice luxury, especially when all my friends rely on tv speakers or Bluetooth speakers
