Odelay42,

Having a penis conspicuously absent from this list.

Odelay42,

I’ve tried to use DDG for a few weeks now, and I find it gets worse the more specific I search.

For general things, it’s fine. But if I’m looking for an installation tutorial for a certain kind of plumbing hardware, it struggles to show me anything but brand and retail pages.

Odelay42,

Can I use kagi as a default search for my browser?

I’m trying to use Firefox on desktop and mobile more.

Odelay42,

Obviously “the” is a critical part of the trademark. Lawyers win that debate.

But why did the marketers win the “a… game” debate?

It could have been, “The Lord of the Rings: whatever whether Hobbit farm” and avoided all the weirdness.

Odelay42,

Meanwhile, a teacher in Seattle schools with a PhD and 7 years experience only makes 101k.

A teacher with no advanced degree can never make more than 94k in Seattle.

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I’m sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I’m sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I’m sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it’s been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one...

Odelay42,

My friend, I am also slightly nostalgic for the optimism and novelty of the flip phone days. I could text confidently with T9 inside a hoodie pocket during class. But my good friend there is no universe where I want to go back to T9 for the convenience and effectiveness of it. It is not quick compared to anything that came after.

Is it worth the solar panels I'm getting? (lemmy.world)

I’m sorry for posting this here. There isn’t a solar panel instance, nor did I see anything for electricians. I know there’s been a lot of gripe with certain solar companies (solgen being in litigation, and others) but I didn’t hear much about freedom forever, since they’re new to Seattle area where I’m doing this....

Odelay42,

I paid 26k for 8.4kw three years ago from A&R solar in Seattle.

Odelay42,

They said it about stories that were written down instead of memorized and told our loud.

Odelay42,

So far so good 3 episodes in.

The look and feel of the world is great.

The characters are pretty believable.

Writing is good so far.

Odelay42,

This is confusing. Is it supposed to be horrifying? Funny? I’m uncomfortable.

Odelay42,

Cruelty is the point with these monsters.

Odelay42,

I am in tech. My spouse was a teacher for 9 years. I made nearly 5 times as much money as her and worked literally half as much.

It’s egregious.

Odelay42,

Fwiw, my local golf course was built on the site of a former landfill that’s unsuitable for housing.

I know most aren’t.

House Bill 500 Takes Away Kentucky Workers’ Lunch and Rest Breaks and Cuts Their Pay (kypolicy.org)

House Bill (HB) 500, which is to be heard in the House Small Business and Information Technology Committee Wednesday, would take away Kentucky workers’ rights to lunch and rest breaks at work and would eliminate pay protections, including for time spent traveling to and from a job site during work hours. It is an assault on...

Odelay42,

I don’t understand how anyone can vote for these ridiculous ghouls.

Odelay42,

You could have said, “that’s unjustifiable. It’s also reprehensible how many so-called medical professionals kill people with dangerous and negligent restraint practices too.”

Odelay42, (edited )

Fuck the police. They are not careful. Any number of murders by the police is too many. Any number of murders by healthcare workers is too many. We do not have to tolerate one to condemn the other.

Odelay42,

I never said fuck the police over the healthcare workers. I said any number of murders by police is too many. Any number of murders by healthcare workers is too many.

My point is the police shouldn’t get a pass because there’s another group that’s worse. Both groups should be scrutinized and deeply reformed.

Odelay42,

You need to check your privilege and pause for a moment. Your opinion is not more valuable than theirs. Insults and judgement in angry posts undermine whatever point you were trying to make.

Odelay42,

it’s a bad time to be looking for work in tech.

Be patient, keep your head up. Keep applying. You’ll get something soon.

Sorry you’re seeking in a down market. It happens every now and again in this industry. You’ll get through the eventually.

Odelay42,

Nothing is more fun than guessing what arbitrary macguffin the DM has in mind. Or tirelessly asking if you see anything in this corner or that corner, or over there, or under the desk, or behind the tapestry.

Odelay42,

Education is antithetical to conservative beliefs.
