  • [YT] Less Than Half of Android Users Have Upgraded to Android 13 or 14! 🤯

    Jump

  • My point wasn't that nothing changed. My point was that if I haven't noticed the changes, they must not be important. I would be perfectly happy with Android 9 right now. It would make zero difference to me, so why would I go out of my way or pay money for a new phone to upgrade?

    Jump

  • I can't think of a single thing that's changed in Android since like Android 9. There's no reason to upgrade.

  • What advice would you give to people in their 20s?

    Jump

  • I graduated college with a 3.55. I got my first job through contacts (my sister cut the hair of all the executives' wives, I including the CEO's wife). They never once so much as looked at my transcript.

  • Before your change to Linux

    Jump

  • I was at work and I spent a full day trying to figure out how to do something work-related on Windows, but every program for it was for Linux. This was before WSL, so that wasn't an option. I don't remember exactly what the task was, but I remember growing increasingly frustrated before I decided to just dual boot my work laptop with Ubuntu. I never booted back into Windows a single time after that. I eventually deleted that partition to reclaim the space.

    I didn't install Linux on my personal laptop until about a year ago because of how awful Windows 11 is. I was reading about how Windows 10 is going EOL fairly soon, and decided to just make the switch now.

  • Has anyone got KDE Plasma 6 - Wayland running on Arch using an NVIDIA GPU?

    Jump

  • Just this weekend I installed Manjaro after having tons and tons of issues with SUSE since the Plasma 6 upgrade. I have a laptop with AMD integrated graphics, which Plasma is running on, so your issues may not apply to me. But if I run any apps on the Nvidia GPU in full screen, I do get the flickering issue.

    My biggest issue I have is that no matter what distro I use, as soon as I install the proprietary Nvidia driver, my system fails to boot like 20% of the time. It just freezes during boot with no error messages or warnings that I can find. But once it boots, it works.

    I'm not sure how to run Plasma on my dedicated GPU so I can see if I have the same issues you have. But with my current setup, it works.

  • How does OLED burn-in truly happen and why doesn't my phone show any signs of it?

    Jump

  • Phones are often used for small amounts of time as people pick them up to reply to a message, browse the web for a bit or watch a video.

    Haha.... Yeah..... Me too.... I definitely don't just have it in my hand while I look at it for 12 hours a day. Nope, not me.

  • Andrew just wants to open his files on Windows 10

  • More confusion for recruiters

    Jump

  • Make it so the capitalization affects the scope.

    Oh wait.

    (Sorry, I recently had to switch to golang for work, and I'm just not used to it yet, and I'm getting annoyed by some of these design decisions)

  • Google is switching the Pixel 9 to an ultrasonic fingerprint reader

    Jump

  • I sort of had the opposite experience. My pixel 5's fingerprint reader worked about 20% of the time. It was so bad. I've actually had a much better experience with the Pixel 7's in-screen one. It's probably 90% successful. Before my Pixel 5, I had a OnePlus 6, and that one was like 99% successful.

    I did prefer the location on the back, though.

    Steam Summer Sale 2024 is live now

    Jump

  • Could you elaborate more about why returns discourage deep sales? I'm not sure I'm getting it from your comment. It seems like it is just correlation rather than causation.

  • The constant negativity is killing me

    Jump

  • It's the casual fans who are bad imo. The ones who hate everything except the OT. And they just constantly talk about how Disney has ruined Star Wars because the only thing they watched was the numbered movies.

  • How can I easily and conveniently transfer files wirelessly between my linux computer and android phone?

    Jump

  • I have tried KDE connect, and it never works when I need it to. I just send it to myself on Signal. It's the easiest, most non-bullshit way.

  • I don't have advice, just a worthless anecdote.

    I work at a large tech company. We had a Windows XP system on our network get hacked. They used that to jump to our servers. IT had to quarantine off the whole lab, because they didn't know where the hacker had hopped next. So then IT had to do a post-mortem and figure out how they got in and what was affected. That process took 3 months. In the meantime, any team with servers in that lab couldn't use them. The team directly responsible for this couldn't work at all for the full 3 months.

  • How do y'all backup docker databases with backup programs like Borg/Restic?

    Jump

  • I guess I'm a dummy, because I never even thought about this. Maybe I got lucky, but when I did restore from a backup, I didn't have any issues. My containerized services came right back up like nothing was wrong. Though that may have been right before I successfully hosted my own (now defunct) Lemmy instance. I can't remember, but I think I only had sqlite databases in my services at the time.

  • Fallout 4 mods are broken again following update

    Jump

  • Thanks, I'm considering not. People here are very unwelcoming and elitist. Even more so than reddit, which is impressive.

  • The Offspring, The Beastie Boys, Van Halen w/DLR, and the B52s. Are there other bands that rock, but are often silly/goofy and funny?

    Jump

  • Also, The Presidents of the United States of America.

    The song "More Bad Times" came on my Spotify radio playlist a few years back. I had never heard the song before. I was dying of laughter. I was not at all prepared for a song that silly.

  • Do you leave a tip for housekeeping if you're only staying one night in a hotel?

    Jump

  • The 20% is relatively new. It was always around 10%, and then restaurants started "suggesting" higher tips on the receipts, and basically guilting people into tipping more. It was pushed up to 15% in the mid '00s, and then only pushed up to 20% during Covid. I have been called a piece of shit human on multiple occasions because I didn't buy into the restaurants randomly changing it on me. There is immense social pressure here around tipping.

    The restaurants have a financial motivation to want the tips to be higher, so I feel like it's a conflict of interest for them to be suggesting the tip amount. I think the government needs to get involved and regulate tipping or even outright ban it at this point, because restaurants aren't going to stop pushing the envelope at 20%.

    Jump

  • I live in the US and I have never tipped housekeeping, nor have I ever heard of someone doing it.
