Eyedust, to android in It's time to stop thinking plastic phones can't be premium
@Eyedust@lemmy.world avatar

Yup, I agree 100%. I usually go with a slim case because I follow a few self-imposed rules.

  • Phone does not leave pocket when drinking or around people who are drinking.
  • I don’t need to take my phone out if I’m visiting friends or family.
  • I immediately pocket my phone if I’m moving, even just around the apartment.

I’ve not dropped my phone once since owning my first 12 years ago. I do not care what it’s made of.

Eyedust, to artificial_intel in Microsoft’s Recall feature will now be opt-in and double encrypted after privacy outcry
@Eyedust@lemmy.world avatar

Too late. Still not enough to keep me from going back to Linux. Especially now that I’m all excited to try NixOS with Hyprland. This was your last mistake, Microsoft. 🫤

Eyedust, to technology in Any LinkedIn alternatives?
@Eyedust@lemmy.world avatar

Kind of bs, seeing as how I use my friend’s account (with permission) to access the free Udemy courses that his career provides him and I’ve never seen this. Figures they’d nail legitimate users and completely miss people who abuse the system. Typical Microsoft.

Hope an alternative comes someday; I’ve always disliked LinkedIn.

Eyedust, to lemmyshitpost in New unit of measurement
@Eyedust@lemmy.world avatar

Three. Depending on where you are in the U.S., a toilet is also a “can”. It’s more of a slang meaning, but if you ever hear an American saying they’re “going to go hit the can,” it means they’re going to use the bathroom.

Eyedust, to casualconversation in I'm experiencing indecision
@Eyedust@lemmy.world avatar

I’m in the same boat. My partner and I are extremely excited for a new start and can’t wait to get away from some things here, but the apartment we have lined up is fairly smaller than what we have now.

To top it off, there’s another apartment with a beautiful screen in porch on the same floor, but it’s a tiny efficiency apartment. The worst part is that that tenant will have to walk through our part of the porch to get to the stairs. I’ve rented long enough to know that you don’t always get great neighbors, so not looking forward to that.

My new landlord is my brother in law and he wanted to combine the apartments and just charge us a bit more, but my sister didn’t want to lose the money of having two apartments up there. I understand that, but it’s such a nice one bedroom apartment and the two bedroom feels like a bunch of tiny boxes nailed together.

The area is extremely rural and my gf will have to commute a bit longer to get to her transferred job, but we think it’s well worth it despite all that. I’d say give it a try and see what you think. If it doesn’t work great, view your other options from there. It sounds like you’re both looking for a change either way.

Eyedust, to asklemmy in Has anyone else ever set a special ringtone for that one boss you dread will call you? If so, what was it?
@Eyedust@lemmy.world avatar

I thought about this a few times at my last job, but unfortunately the job was solo work and if no one showed up, the whole contract would have been rescinded. My boss certainly abused my sense of responsibility, though.

@Eyedust@lemmy.world avatar

That was a fun watch, lol! I should find one to set for my girlfriend. I had it set to the Daria theme song a long time ago. It’s one of her favorite shows and she has a dry and jaded sense of humor to match it.

@Eyedust@lemmy.world avatar

I had to in my case. I worked for a company that was contracted out and had an on site boss. So instead of something like management calling me from the work phone, it was always the boss that did it from her personal cell.

Eyedust, to linuxmemes in Top post of PCMR on Reddit today XD
@Eyedust@lemmy.world avatar

It didn’t affect me, due to using startallback. It replaces start menu, taskbar and explorer. So my start menu is Win7 and my task and explorer are Win10.

It used to have a 100 day all access free trial and was 5 bucks, but I haven’t checked lately. I gotta keep a Windows machine around for art. My Gaomon tablet was able to use wacom drivers on Linux with some terminal tinkering, but it couldn’t map the scroll wheel by design, which was a deal breaker.

Eyedust, to asklemmy in How did you meet the love of your life?
@Eyedust@lemmy.world avatar

My ex-fiancee and ex-girlfriend for 7 years was getting hit on by our boss. She used to brag to me about it. They started texting back and forth until suddenly she wanted to “just be friends” with me (which entitled “benefits”).

This was all about a month before our wedding. So naturally I declined being “friends” and slept with her bride’s maid. We decided the sex was good enough to try dating.

That was 12 years ago now.

Eyedust, to mildlyinteresting in My icon pack's clock icon shows time and moves like an actual clock
@Eyedust@lemmy.world avatar

I was a little sad to see that my icon pack foregoes this feature, but I can’t see myself using a different one. Delta icons on F-Droid has so much coverage (10k+), are free, and they’re so clean looking.

Plus I’m using Chrono as my default clock and alarms.

Eyedust, to nostupidquestions in How should I link to music so that anyone can open it?
@Eyedust@lemmy.world avatar

Would be useful, but I can’t think of anything that would do this. A bot that scraped the chosen song’s links from popular streaming services would be pretty neat and, to my knowledge, possible. I’ve seen it done with stuff like Skyrim mods or MTG Card linking on Reddit.

Eyedust, (edited ) to linuxmemes in Found this on the web years ago
@Eyedust@lemmy.world avatar

Story time.

I learned Debian-based distros back in high school from a college tech class. After leaving school and getting my first job, I built my first computer (after two DOA boards and much gnashing of teeth). I sat happily in my Windows bubble for a long time.

Years later I had a catastrophic failure when trying to get clever and unlocking my system32 folder to do some tinkering. I’d had enough of Windows. Thought Pop! OS looked really nice.

But we sometimes have that one friend. Arch. Every time I talked about my OS or showed him my clean setup, Arch. If I had a problem with packages. Pacman. AUR. Arch.

I was going nuts. Did he care I was running Pop! OS with KDE Plasma using Kubuntu backports to jury rig a later version? No. Arch.

After a long and grueling battle, after slogging through mountains of unsolicited Arch memes in my DMs, after vehemently defending Debian, I will only say this:

I use Arch, btw.

Eyedust, to asklemmy in Aluminium drawback? Why US still uses so many plastic bottles?
@Eyedust@lemmy.world avatar

That’s enough from you, gregorium.

Eyedust, to opensource in Anyone migrate from PlayerPro to a FOSS alternative?
@Eyedust@lemmy.world avatar

I found a cool little app on F-Droid called Gramophone. It has neat little animations that make me happy, and it can color the player controls according to album art. I’m a sucker for nice UI. I was using Auxio before that. Both are good.

If you want something for ad-less streaming, RiMusic is really nice. For local audiobook playback with chapter selection, Voice is the best I’ve found so far.
