billbasher,

Mmm that was a nice sticker

billbasher,

What a perfect username for this picture haha

billbasher,

Welcome to the club! You’ll never swap back. There’s a lot of good info here already so I won’t repeat a bunch of stuff.

The brushes with a nice block of lotioned cream are best but can cream still works fine. I got a $30 screw top razor and can get very close. I go with the grain then reapply cream and go against. One thing to be extremely careful of is never slide it sideways ha. It’s a blade.

Likely the first time you use it you’ll lop off any imperfections in your skin. Those generally grow back flat. I shave my head with one and the first couple shaves when I switch styles are a bloodbath lol

billbasher,

The biggest thing is view distance vs size. Your eyes can only see up to a certain density.

Right so basically the places where the boss has to ‘crack the whip’ will see an improvement in productivity. Creative types like software engineering work better or the same alone with some collaboration.

billbasher,

They wonder why piracy is on the rise. Have they tried no corporate greed yet?

I have chronic sleeping problems therefore I love(d) taking naps but waking up afterwards is absolute hell. What should I do? **Edit: I have found a short-term solution**

I am currently struggling heavily with depression. Which impacts my quality of sleep. Sleep now has never been a talent of mine. So I generally make up for it by napping. I used to absolutely love it. Both the initial and the waking up (feeling well rested). But lately the waking up part is getting more and more difficult. It...

billbasher,

I like short coffee naps. It makes it really easy to get up afterwards. I’d only recommend it if you are able to fall asleep almost instantly though.

Basically you chug a cup of coffee and then nap, setting an alarm for 20-30m. Once you get woken up the coffee will be mostly in your system and you’ll feel really refreshed.

billbasher,

Nice yeah coffee isn’t always the play for me either for that reason. I like Yerba mate and white/green tea too

billbasher,

That’s totally fine and your choice completely. All I was asking was to consider doing it.

Would it not give more incentive to listen if it gives them the opportunity to go back to a previous rating? If they know they are going to be stuck there they might just go through with the decision people are protesting.

billbasher,

Again I’m not calling for it. Just consideration which led to the discussion we are having.

If everyone gives a negative review for the other games that require PSN, then takes it back when they change then they will see their games stay negative until they take PSN out. Then they stop putting it in all together.

I think your union example doesn’t quite fit the situation. A union gives you lawful rights. The threat for the company to start treating you right is that unions exist and once you join you don’t quit one. We have no rights on steam so our only influence is negative reviews. If we never ‘reward’ the company for not being dirt bags then even if they make a bad decision, there is no incentive to change it back.

billbasher,

There should be a website where we can do group boycotts / reviews when companies do bad things. This one really worked

billbasher,

Agreed, check out my reply to the guy one below. I just don’t want to force people and would rather debate ya know?

Is a sound level of 105 decibels for a few seconds enough to rupture a person's eardrum?

In 2022, a Texas family filed a lawsuit against Apple for damaging their son’s hearing after an Amber Alert went off while he was wearing Airpods. According to Google, the maximum volume of phone headphones is around 105 decibels. The family are claiming that the son now requires hearing aids after his eardrum ruptured....

billbasher,

It’s plausible since humans probably have different sensitivities for their ears. I live in a city with a train that goes right through the middle of it. It’s got no guard rails and if you’re driving you could reach out and touch it if you wanted. They are required to blast their horns every X meters for safety at max decibels of 110. The closest I’ve been is 3 or 4 meters when it went off. I didn’t get any hearing damage from it though and I haven’t heard of anyone else getting any. That could be related to how close the source of sound was though.

So I would conclude with it’s probably unlikely that was the sole cause as people are around trains all the time. Plus I’m sure plenty of people get amber alerts through there.

billbasher,

I really want to know why it was delayed in the first place. I’ve heard some rumors. One being the devs knew 6 months ahead but just messed up the deadline. Others said the servers were overloaded on launch. Does anyone know the answer? Maybe some sources?

billbasher,

Yeah stuff like that needs to be in the check box terms and conditions format and individually agreed to. Then you can’t purchase if you don’t check a ‘I understand I need a PSN account’ box. The format it’s in just feels like I’m agreeing only to the steam terms and the other ones are designed to be ‘snuck in’

That being said I guess everyone needs to read every detail before purchasing, which I and many others don’t do. I think even if they put a notice somewhere at first launch describing that their servers are overloaded and it will require PSN linkage eventually this wouldn’t have blown up at all. I’m way more salty at the shadiness of how it was handled over the fact that I missed the notice on purchase. That’s why they have the 2 hour return window. If I boot it and it says log into this site and I’m not ok with it, I can just give it back. Which is great that they are giving refunds regardless of hours played to remedy that.

And yes, I do take responsibility for not checking.

billbasher, (edited )

It shouldn’t unmount those system dirs unless you have a really weird setup or specify with —types.

From the man page:

-a, --all All of the filesystems described in /proc/self/mountinfo (or

in deprecated /etc/mtab) are unmounted, except the proc,

devfs, devpts, sysfs, rpc_pipefs and nfsd filesystems. This

list of the filesystems may be replaced by --types umount

option.

www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/umount.8.html

If you are using a system with snap like Ubuntu, it will unmount those since they are technically mounts. It will fail if an app is using the snap but subsequent opens of closed snaps will fail.

Edit: Formatting

billbasher,

I know FFXIV saves your data. You’re welcome back anytime with your account

billbasher,

I feel like the easiest way to make that happen is by getting it into state level voting systems first. IIRC MN has started.

Either that or get a president in who doesn’t talk about it and then pushes for it after getting in. And the only way that would succeed is when all the dinosaurs retire or pass

billbasher,

Yeah third party apps can do end to end encryption. It uses the data network and not the cellular network then though.

Google Fi on Android actually does run E2E on calls fi.google.com/about/end-to-end-encrypted-calls/

billbasher,

Yeah the way people can recreate someone “in need of assistance” to trick family or associates is really scary especially for people who aren’t exactly tech savvy. That seems to me to be a worse crime than an explicit video that is pretty obviously doctored

billbasher,

“In the case, which began in January, the plaintiffs are arguing that HP issued a firmware update between late 2022 and early 2023 that they allege disabled their printers if they installed a replacement cartridge that was not HP-branded.”

Can we get a 2d printer that isn’t exploitative? I print on paper with a sharpie on my Ender because of bs like this

billbasher,

Actual X-ray of people who think brains show up in detail on X-rays

billbasher,

That sounds like a good protocol but that was not followed in the incident I was referencing

billbasher,

The “wellness checks” are way too often murders. I would never call the cops to check in on someone because they’ll likely shoot them
