Exactly. When I was clean shaven, it was easy, I could just hold the shaver against the contours of my face.
Now, with a large beard, I only need to shave every one or two weeks, but it takes much longer to do so and is much trickier. I’ve got to sculpt and shape a mound of hair manually. And every day I still brush and oil it.
I’ve started to realize that every social media platform, including Facebook, Telegram, Twitter, etc., has issues with bot spam and fake follower accounts. These platforms typically combat this problem by implementing various measures such as ban waves, behavior detection, and more....
Quiet quitting is actually listed as a subheading on the work-to-rule Wikipedia page I linked, so I guess it’s the non-malicious variation of your standard work to rule protest. If you look at the See Also section, there’s some interesting related things. I think the Chinese Tang Ping suits exactly what you’re saying too
The legal situation is more complex and nuanced than the headline implies, so the article is worth reading. This adds another ruling to the confusing case history regarding forced biometric unlocking.
Not sure about all phone models, but at least with mine, if I switch it off then it requires a PIN, rather than biometrics, upon being switched back on. Thus if the police arrive, immediately switching off your phone could be a sensible thing to do
Watch out I guess, because that opens the Emergency SOS page on my OnePlus phone and, if I have an additional setting toggled, automatically phones emergency services… the phone does not lock
I think it was the prime minister (or spokesperson) who made this very clever argument: (paraphrasing) “we are not taking away choice… cigarettes are designed to inherently take away your choice by trapping you in an addiction.”...
Well yeah. I just meant in the modern wave of colonisation, where there is still a distinct and clear divide between native and new population left over
So what’s the deal with GNU? When I first saw it, I was sure the G was silent, or formed a dipthong, like gnat or gnocchi or gnaw or gnarly or gnome or just any word starting with gn in English. But IRL, I’ve only heard it pronounced with a hard G, same with Gnome.
UK’s got S, M and the Underground roundel. I think it’s interesting that those three different common terms, subway, metro and underground, used globally, all originate from the London Underground in different ways.
If the system is such that it warrants periodic relieving, doesn’t that signify it probably deserves permanent overhaul so it isn’t possible to need to borrow so much in the first place
Why? That’s the best time of day for an appointment. I’ve plenty time to actually sleep well, not rush to get ready, not be late, actually be awake when I get there. Well I might still be late
Sounds alright. I’ve got a phone, computer, TV, job. Might not be focused enough to actually be productive, but I’d rather that than be rushed, unready and unslept
Usually they’re building the website with browserlist and polyfills, and they specify how old a browser they wish to support, usually by analysing percentages of public usage, or they allow types only supported in newer browsers. Meaning if they use a feature only available in newer browsers, then it won’t be automatically backported to support older browsers.
But that’s only if they actually use those features, they’re just available to them. And it’ll only break in those places they do use them, which could be quite little of the site.
So often it’s just “we can’t guarantee it’ll work in your old browser and enough of our users use newer browsers that we’ll block you and not care”.
I have ad blockers everywhere, except native mobile apps. I’ve clicked on an Instagram ad for shirts. I bought the shirts. People keep complimenting me on the shirts. No regrets there
Time is weird. I’ve changed things up a lot in the past few years and I’m having much more fun. The few years before that seem like nothing. But now time is simultaneously so much faster (I guess more exciting, dragging less), yet so much longer (I guess many more unique memories).
Why are many men growing beards again ? (lemmy.ml)
Yesterday I passed a barbershop and saw ads on their wall outside of men with beards and short hair. It is a revival or saving electricity ?
