  • TIL owning a dog was associated with a 24% lower risk of dying from all causes over the course of 10 years

  • What if your dog clears old growth forestry to raise a herd of cows? 🤔

  • Every Terminal program should have a black background by default

    Jump

  • I'll give that a try, thanks :)

  • I can use the terminal in short bursts, but switching to black text on a white background just looks wrong. I might just have to suffer >.<

  • I've got a feeling I've tried bigger, but not bolder. I'll try them both, thanks :)

  • Try having astigmatism, white text on a black background is physically painful

  • Pissing in the shower is better than pissing in the toilet in every single way.

    Jump

  • Nah, I've got bad kidneys, and I manage not to piss in my own face 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • Fly-tipping across England reaches record high

    Jump

  • A lot of the time it's a man with a van scenario, where someone's had too much rubbish to take to the tip themselves, so have hired someone cheap to take it away. They either don't realise or don't care that the person taking the rubbish isn't licensed so can't take it to the tip, and the rubbish gets dumped

  • Motorola Moto G Power (2026) review: The cheapest Moto you should buy

    Jump

  • I've got the G86 5g. The live lockscreen can be disabled, there's an option in the settings. You can tell it not to ask again too.

    Mine came back after a system update, but that's when I found the don't ask again checkbox, and it hasn't come back since 👍

  • What are the advantages of portable apps?

    Jump

  • I used them on Windows to manage a handful of websites. I'd have a Websites folder with sub folders for each site, and a few portable apps in each one. I'd have Thunderbird and Firefox at least, and they'd keep everything separate.

    For me at least, it made things a lot easier than trying to remember to log in to profiles etc individually :)

  • The economic cost of Brexit has just been laid bare – and it’s devastating

    Jump

  • At least they're summarising it, which implies that they've done some work. Lots of UK online 'newspapers' now have a brief story with a load of quoted tweets at the end. They're absolute shit.

  • What is something about how people view or use technology that needs to die?

    Jump

  • That's part of my point. For most people, giving Google their data means things like their travel info. The majority of people don't understand that tracking data is different, or what it means. When you tell them not to give their data to big corporations, they think you mean any data, and don't know that they can get data that you might not want shared

  • What is something about how people view or use technology that needs to die?

    Jump

  • The thing is though, that most people don't know why that's a problem, and privacy advocates seem to think that 'you've got a door on your bathroom' is a gotcha.

    If someone is giving Google their home address and work address, and planning the route to get traffic data, they're not going to be concerned when Google Maps suggests their work address as a destination through the week. Same for their shopping data. 'Of course Amazon knows what I like, I do my shopping there!'

    We need better ways to explain it to people who don't understand it, and who are not interested in it or the tech behind it. We have a big problem on Lemmy where we tend to assume that everyone understands the same issues as us, just not as well.

  • Or, for my pet hate with FOSS, the instructions assume that you understand the underlying technology.

    'Hey, we've made this fantastic new program for Linux newbs, it's so easy that even your grandma can use it! To install it, clone the repo and pipe the results of awk through sed using grep. You can add flags in the usual way!'

  • What's your missed shot?

    Jump

  • Oops! At least the ring was waterproof 🙈 😂

  • App zooms out when I comment on a post.

    Jump

  • I've just tried it now, and the whole app looks slightly different. Let's see if it works... Edit: It worked! 😁

  • What can I do with my old-but-functional android smartphone?

    Jump

  • Media player with apps like media monkey

    Just be aware that Media Monkey has issues. It regularly swaps my track numbers for the play count, and has consistently lowered the volume of my tracks.

    I used the volume leveling function, and found out that it was decreasing the volume of all the tracks it had access to. Luckily the originals on the computer were unaffected

  • What can I do with my old-but-functional android smartphone?

    Jump

  • I do this by running a MagicMirror server on my media server, and Fully Kiosk browser on the phone / tablet. It's pretty handy in the kitchen, as we're all in there in the morning :)
