  • Deposits should be held by the city. The landlord should be forced to prove they deserve it in a court of law.

    Jump

  • In Canada your landlord is required to pay back your deposit with interest, so if you gave them a $1000 deposit and stayed for 10 years and interest is at 5% they would be giving you back about $1600.

    Very few actually do this and most of the time interest is so low nobody bothers to fight for it.

  • the definitive proof that you weren't your parent's favorite

  • I'm not sure why this would be fake, but the word seems too straight and the paired letters too perfectly uniform to be handwriting, it looks like a font.

    This is gonna bother me now.

  • What are some tech products that you want that you can't seem to find?

    Jump

  • How low-tech is still tech?

    I want a device that can be armed and if moved without being disarmed (optional passcode) will set off an alarm.

    This is both for my laptop when working in public spaces and for my cooler/food bag when camping.

  • UK considering making USB-C the common charging standard, following the EU

    Jump

  • This is just to avoid becoming the dumping ground for previous gen tech.

  • What small tiny app have you found that not many people know about

    Jump

  • If sunrise and sunset is your thing then the website suncalc.net works great to find what places will have the best views for different times of year.

    I go watch the sunset as part of my solstice and equinox adventures so finding new places with nice views is fun.

  • What small tiny app have you found that not many people know about

    Jump

  • I use the AR tool for sun positions every time I'm finding a tent spot or to watch a sunrise/set, and the bubble level is perfect for finding a tent spot that isn't tilted 2 degrees towards your head so you wake up with a headache.

  • Reading habits in Europe

    Jump

  • Do they count audiobooks? Is it about consuming the content of the book or the delivery system?

  • Gemini is replacing Google Assistant on Pixel phones, and it’s a train wreck

    Jump

  • When google asked if I wanted to try Gemini I gave it a try and the first time I asked it to navigate home, something I use assistant for almost daily, it said it can't access this feature but we can chat about navigating home instead - fuck that!

    Even though I switched back to assistant it's still getting dumber and losing functionality - yesterday is asked it to add something to my grocery list(in keep) and it put it on the wrong list, told me the list I wanted doesn't exist, then asked if I wanted to create the list and then told me it can't create it because it already exists.

    I've talk to more logical toddlers!

  • Women of Lemmy, do you mind being called cute?

    Jump

  • It really depends on what I'm doing to elicit the comment - I'm often doing silly things, getting enthusiastic about stuff, exploring my environment and other things vaguely "childish" and so would consider cute to be a compliment.

    Coming with no context it's neutral, way better than being called sexy but generally my appearance doesnt need comment.

    If I'm upset, or being professional, or an authority than being called cute is 100% and insult.

  • Too many tourists?

    Jump

  • Yes, a line graph showing residents vs visitors by month would tell a much more meaningful story.

  • Fellas of Lemmy, what's your Every Day Carry (EDC)?

    Jump

  • I pull my card out to tap, though it's just habit from pre-tap and I probably wouldn't need to. I leave NFC off on my phone or it tends to keep detecting my cc and chime.

  • Fellas of Lemmy, what's your Every Day Carry (EDC)?

    Jump

  • My EDC is

    1. A pixel phone with a case on it, in the case I tuck my driver's licence and one credit card. I have a wallet app on the phone for all other cards I might need.
    2. Keychain is a carabiner and short piece of webbing holding 2 house keys, car fob, mini knife and mini flashlight.

    The keys clip onto bra strap and go inside my shirt and phone tucks into bra. Definitely not a fella :P

  • Giving fake info can compromise your GDPR access rights

  • I work in tech and often have to create accounts for testing or to hand over to clients. I was so happy when we hit 2019 and Jan 1, 2001 became a valid birthday, 01-01-01 in any date order.
