  • What’s a cat behavior you secretly find adorable even if it’s inconvenient?

    Jump

  • Pretty much all of them, up to and including biting me. 🥰

  • Who spilled cat right by the door?

    Jump

  • that is without a doubt the liquidest cat I've ever seen

  • LG joins Sony and TCL in abandoning 8K TV market

  • I highly doubt they were talking about gaming.

  • While funny, this doesn't work because the time traveler told him specifically which one is negative.

  • 1st Feb is #GlobalSwitchDay

    Jump

  • Yeah, you're right, and that sucks. Mastodon is much better at this.

  • The Fediverse's biggest onboarding problem is having too many choices that seem important but don't really matter. Namely, which instance to sign up on. Listing two different platforms that do the same thing and even federate with each other would only make it worse. I'm guessing that's why they only listed one.

    As for why choose one over the other, I don't have a horse in this race, I'm sure they had their reasons.

  • The Universal Operating System

    Jump

  • Maybe the necessary codecs just aren't installed in Debian by default? Mint and Ubuntu are targeted at laptops for general use, so it makes sense they'd bundle all Bluetooth codecs in a default installation to be ready for most users. But Debian makes fewer assumptions like that, and is often used for servers, so perhaps they didn't want to bloat it with codecs that many installations will never need.

    I'm just guessing here, but that makes sense to me.

  • Gotta conserve resources

    Jump

  • You've got some courage standing in the middle of the street with no visibility like that. A car can just appear out of the blue and run you over. Glad it didn't!

    Though, if it was as quiet as it looks then you could reasonably expect to hear a fast car long before it got near, so perhaps it's not as dangerous as it looks.

  • Before social media/internet/cell phones/landlines/payphones; how would 2 friends living across the same city arrange in person meetings and stay in touch?

    Jump

  • Your message might be correct (maybe) but the way you wrote it could not be wronger.

    For starters, it's not an unusual problem at all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loneliness_epidemic?wprov=sfla1

    Secondly, your whole comment is really aggressive, from "Um, excuse me?" to "you should work on it asap" it's all just attacks as if it's as simple as that.

  • The Universal Operating System

    Jump

  • I never actually had to deal with Bluetooth issues on Linux so take this with a grain of salt.

    BT audio devices generally support multiple different encodings, for example aptX, but they can always fall back to the most basic and most horrible codec that is universally supported on any BT host device. Sounds like that's what's happening. So you might want to look into why your PC isn't using the better options.

  • Virgin Framework vs Chad ThinkPad

    Jump

  • I got a (very cheap) Thinkpad from my university. It had that proprietary Ethernet port. It came with a ThinkPad-branded USB to Ethernet adapter. The adapter came with the laptop and still didn't use the proprietary port!

    Now, there is a chance that the university IT which set stuff up before giving it to me, is responsible for disappearing the proprietary adapter. But because the USB adapter is branded with ThinkPad, I really think it's just what it came with.

  • Not that I or anyone would ever have issues.

    Jump

  • Out of curiosity, what do you recommend instead?

  • Volvo invented the three-point seat belt 67 years ago; now it has improved it

    Jump

  • That's great. That's not the world we live in.

  • Volvo invented the three-point seat belt 67 years ago; now it has improved it

    Jump

  • That's nonsense.

    That's why patents are relatively short. A patent grants exclusivity for the inventors, which incentives people and companies to invent in the first place. But it's limited in time so that the whole world benefits eventually. Everything that was invented over 20 years ago is now public domain. This includes a ton of safety mechanisms, some in cars, that never would have been invented if there wasn't a financial incentive for it.

    I don't like this all that much from a moral standpoint, but this is a good compromise for the world we live in. To say it would have been better if it didn't exist it all is just plain wrong.

  • The hidden engineering of airport runways: Engineered Materials Arresting Systems

    Jump

  • ex-kakapo

    Jump

  • Its name is "poo" twice. Fitting.

  • What kind of job can you never imagine yourself doing?

    Jump

  • Any job to do with food. Restaurant, bar, cafe, pizzeria, whatever. I just feel utterly incompetent there.

    And it's not just cooking, even being a cashier or delivery guy is impossible for me. I can't put it into words, but I am just incapable of doing it.

  • Check mate, Libertarians

    Jump

  • Are you sure nothing moved? Perhaps they saw a twitch that was enough to confirm for them?

    I can easily cause this reflex to myself.

  • The daily saga

    Jump

  • Man, I really need to binge that show. I only saw some episodes as a kid.
