  • If you take data backup seriously you need an offsite backup

  • For people who rent and don't have a space for a dishwasher or you don't have one included

    Desktop versions do exist but they are obviously smaller

  • Gaming PC'S are better than laptops in the long run if you don't need constant portability since they are entirely upgradeable

    Though if you need a laptop I'd recomend the framework laptop

  • How many times are you pressing the button

    I press 3 times, holding each time until the water rises near the top then I stop and press again until it's 3 times

    Gets very bubbly without that unpleasant sharp taste you get from supermarket drinks

    Though I've heard the drinkmate softdrink machines are better but they're only avalible online and I'm not completely sure if the sodastream c02 cans are compatible or not

  • Get one of those rentable food safe C02 gas cans that you keep and you just pay for C02 refills and just mod your sodastream to accept it or get an adapter

    When you no longer need the tank you just return it

    Not sure if you can buy the tank instead of renting it

    Way more economical than the sodastream two you buy at the shop

    Though YMMV depending on your location

    Though if your feeling fancy get one of the more expensive carbonators ones that you can install in your countertop

  • I wouldn't trust a eufy product in my home after their security camera vulnerability controversy that they initially refused to fix

  • Desktop DAC & Bookshelf Speakers - Always find changing volume on OS itself to not be perfect as it too low or high for my liking. I can simply tweak the volume knob of my Desktop DAC to get the volume just right. Also great way to listen to music

    If I'm understanding you correctly and you just got the DAC purely to be a volume know then I disagree with you because keyboards with volume knows exist.

  • Obligatory Jellyfin is better and free

  • You sound like you'd really benefit from "Home Assistant" if you're not already using it and the addition of smart bulbs that can change colours to sync with circadian rhythm (and possibly smart switches)

  • Try getting a stool that raised your legs to the point where you are squatting or near squatting over the toilet

    It relaxes the sphincter if I recall correctly

    • Epson Ecotank Printer

    Has ink tanks so money isn't wasted on cartridges and the printer is actually initially expensive unlike those printers that make money back on ink catriges

    • Hammer Drill with the proper bits

    Makes it easier to mount shit to bricks, goes in brick like butter if you're using the right drill and bits

    I recomend Ryobi Hammer Drill & Bits

    • Air Fryer

    I've stopped using my oven and only use it rarely for things that I don't want blown apart thst I can weigh down with a fork or spoon like Pizza for example

    • Refillable Japanese brand pens and mechanical pencil

    I recently got these to aid in Japanese study and refillable pens are more economical in the long run

    And Japanese brands go hard on the quality of stationary and I got introduced into the cult of stationary obsession with this

    I'll edit my comment if I can think of anything else

  • Yes, I have a friend who is extremely progressive but is still very much a slut shamer. She really looks down with disgust on women who like sex or have more boyfriends than she deems acceptable.

    I had forgotten about this kind of problem and I absolutely hate it

    It reminds me of progressive people who want to ban anything lewd or sexual because it's a "problem"

    Or shaming women and LGBTQ+ people for liking sexual or lewd things and claiming it harms them, have these people even browsed the internet because there's a whole culture of women and LGBTQ+ people liking lewd and sexual stuff and even creating it

    I've even seen some progressive people shame LGBTQ+ and female creators of lewd and sexual content because it's "harmful"

    It's not just men who like and create lewd and sexual stuff

  • As a trans but Closeted person myself I hate when non trans allies speak over us for us without letting us actually speak and allies of other minorities speaking over the minorities they claim to support in the first place without letting that minority be involved is an actual problem

  • On the not understanding cultures thing I think there was one time if I recall correctly where people got angry at a movie, TV show or media due to some misunderstanding it and assuming it was bigoted

    I don't even know if I'm remembering it correctly or not or if it even happened but the problem of misunderstanding cultures and assuming they are bigoted or are being bigoted is a very real problem

  • I've disagreed with the whole fuck cars movement because it introduces more problems that are absolutely not worth having and they are ignorant of a lot of things

    I'm also introverted and autistic and I like having my alone space when I need it, I don't hate interacting with people but I only like interacting with people when I feel like it

    Cars allow for that alone time where I can he alone when I want to and getting rid of cars and having to be forced to ride public transport would make that worser

  • Please do not co-opt my post, this has nothing to do with veganism qnd if your the type who thinks I should be dead for eating meat them you can kindly get off my post

    I'm left-wing, progressive and I eat meat

  • I swear I saw this movie from the gif on TV once but I can't remember the name and only remember a small section of it

  • I'm gen z and even I know this is IDE

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    what's an unfortunate typo you've had that made it look like you said something fucked up ?

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What Google search in your search history is for something innocent but looks really messed up to others ?
