Being on a video call while operating a motor vehicle is dangerous and should be illegal in any sane jurisdiction under distracted driving laws.

Pfft, everyone knows Santa lives in Canada. His postal code is H0H 0H0!

I yearn for people to let me just read the goddamn instructions. Give me 5 minutes with the booklet and I’ll be good, or you can ramble for 15 minutes trying to explain it and I still won’t understand until like 3/4 of the way through the game.

This is me whenever someone is trying to explain a board game as we’re about to play.

Not particularly, and while I admit this can seem hypocritical, the verb “to google” has just become a generic trademark.

When someone says band-aid, or kleenex, or jello, I think of bandages, tissues, or gelatin desserts, not of a specific brand of these products. Same goes with “googled”, it just means “searched the web” now rather than specifically using Google.

Yeah I’ve noticed this user basically inserts a “kagis” into like 2/3 of their comments, it always slightly irks me because it makes me feel like I’m getting advertised at. I’ve never felt the need to proclaim which search engine(s) I’ve used to research any particular comment on Lemmy, and I find it odd that the one person who does so regularly is doing it for a paid service.

Apart from that, their comments are usually pretty good, so I’m not accusing them of shilling or anything, but I find it super peculiar.

I used to pirate movies my older neighbour wanted to see and burn them on blank DVDs because she felt way more comfortable having discs than streaming. That could be an option if you have a tech-averse person in your life you care about.

She had a bunch of empty cases too, and would make customer covers for each movie with a sharpie and a piece of paper.

Thanks for not participating in the vehicular arms race!

I think this advice made more sense when the majority drove reasonably-sized vehicles rather than the huge trucks and SUVs that pollute our roads now (at least in North America).

I wouldn’t be surprised if this bit of advice contributes to the problem in OP.

I scanned the whole page and I didn’t see this censorship you allude to, I did see a couple of uncensored “fucks” though.

You don’t need 5 posts a day for a community to survive here. There’s not that many people on Lemmy, things are a bit slower paced.

I mod !bicycles@lemmy.ca and we’d be lucky to have one post per day, yet I think it’s still a relatively healthy community, with a decent amount of engagement on most posts.

It’s a complete guide for beginners, they never claim to be a complete list of display managers.

I don’t have any specific recommendations for a stacking WM, but I doubt trying to force Hyprland into stacking would be your best option.

Based on your wants and a very quick search, I’d maybe check out Wayfire.

He said that in 2007. Things have changed a lot since then, Debian is as easy to install as any other big distro (most of them, including Debian, use the Calamares installer nowadays)

There was this road adjacent to the local university campus in my city that was littered with potholes. The city said it was the campus’ responsibility, the campus (rightly) argued it was up to the municipality.

Things were at a standstill until, one night, this guy I knew went out and spray-painted massive dicks around each and every one of those potholes. The city then finally fixed them within weeks.

If I were having high-stakes conversations, I might agree, but any slight delays in updates is unlikely to affect me. I’m not a high-stakes target of any sort.

Oops, all FOSS! :)

The only proprietary apps that see regular use on my phone are my banking app and Spotify.

Silicon-limited obnoxious patterns

I get stressed out leaving my cheap hybrid out even with two locks. In my city, a $10k would disappear real fast. I don’t need that stress.

I’ve seen that Medium article shared here before and find it very unconvincing. While I agree that framing the Proton CEO as an evil Nazi lapdog is a bit much, here’s a comment I saw on Lemmy another time this was discussed that explains why the article is flawed better than I could.
