lenathaw,

Reminds me of a story a friend told me when I was living in South America.

My friend was walking home late at night and a guy from another country (forgot which, but it was obvious from his accent) asked him for money. This exchange of course happened in Spanish:

“I have an iron” “what does iron means in your country?” “by iron I mean knife” and pulls out a knife “oh, because here iron means this” and pulls out a gun.

Then the robber just ran away.

Hentai is the only ethical form of porn consumption

lenathaw,

participation trophies are like a 100 years old concept, they also got them when they were kids

lenathaw, (edited )

very big company, I was told they go through hundreds of laptops each quarter. Seems like keeping them in stock is more costly than selling them to the employees or sending them for recycling

lenathaw,

Intel, I’ll share the specs on the post

HP says I should have known its £399 laptop bargain was too good to be true (www.theguardian.com)

[…] Parcelforce texted the delivery slot. No delivery. Parcelforce and HP’s tracking systems then claimed I had refused the parcel. I scheduled a redelivery for the next day. Parcelforce then rang me and the agent acknowledged a delivery had not been attempted and that the tracking information was false. It claimed HP had...

lenathaw,

I bought a laptop that came with a broken charger, I could easily test it myself as a friend also had an HP laptop with the same brick (this was before the days of USB C).

I tried to make a warranty claim and they wanted me to send the laptop too and wipe the HDD, the RMA process would take weeks on top of that.

I ended up buying a 3rd party charger, I’m sure their RMA process is overly long and convoluted to deter people from making warranty claims

lenathaw,

are you using a VPN? Formula 1 YouTube channel blocks VPNs. It’s the only channel I know if that makes use of this feature

lenathaw,

try watching the videos from the F1 channel without it.

sorry for the late response, I got locked out of my account

lenathaw,

NZ is usually used as a Guinea pig by tech companies, small population, English speaking, etc.

However I think it might be that the Alll Blacks might face off the Springboks in the Rugby World Cup Final and Elon wants to minimise the shitposting on Twitter. /s

Distro for experienced Linux user

Hi, I’m looking for a distro for my laptop. My first distro was Pop!_OS, then I switched to Fedora, then Arch for a year and 2 months ago I switched to Fedora Silverblue, because I wanted to try immutable distro that relies on containers and flatpaks to be usefull. Silverblue is great but not so much for me, its not flexible...

lenathaw,

Linux user since 2008 here.

Boring Debian for servers and Pop Os for my desktop because everything works out of the box

lenathaw,

During my last trip to Germany I made the mistake of traveling by train. My scheduled train got canceled and the next one would come in 1 hour.

I decided to wait and when the time came, no train showed up, the display said the train would arrive on platform 5, the announcement said it was platform 5, their app said platform 5 but nothing showed up.

About 10 minutes after the scheduled time I went to the ticket office to ask what happened, their answer was a “maybe it went through another platform”.

lenathaw,

After the revival they just re-released the Batman games, announced a sequel to The Wolf Among Us and then nothing for 4 years? It is sad to see Telltale gone, but at the same time I am not surprised.

lenathaw,

I had to replace the USB C port on my Fairphone 3, took about €30 and 10 minutes.

In any other phone it would’ve meant getting a complete new device

lenathaw,

My sister’s job just switched to LibreOffice in 2018, OO is still alive and kicking in a lot of small companies

lenathaw,

yes, and according to the article, OpenOffice was already abandoned for 4 years ago by then

lenathaw,

Surprised to see FLCL Shoegaze dropping this soon, I was expecting it to come at least next year

Swedish author, Musk-hater and Tesla lover took his first dose of the orange pill (lemmy.world)

Lars Wilderäng is a Swedish author and blogger. Quick overview: his topics generally revolve around defence policies (Russia bad, moar defence), economics (low interest rates bad, housing market speculation bad) and since the war started, the war in Ukraine (send Ukraine moar weapons). He hates Elon Musk but loves his Tesla. He...

lenathaw,

My sister used to live in a rural area with a very bad dirt road. She had 2 SUVs and insisted it was the only way to drive there.

I visited her often with my station wagon and countless tradies would reach the area with vans

lenathaw,

I use glow all the time, I love it!

I’ve been playing with wish too, I see a lot of potential for it

lenathaw,

I’m stealing claer

lenathaw,

No headphones, anywhere at anytime. You were not allowed to bring them to school even if you didn’t use them during school hours, so forget about listening to music on your way back home.

It was so silly that they even removed all the headphones from the computer lab and at the library.

lenathaw,

In my country we use hectometers all the time, we just call them blocks since most cities are on a 100x100 meter grid, making something 4 blocks away to be 4 hectometers away

lenathaw,

A friend works for a large-ish company that makes a product on Unity (not a game tho) and he just told me they were moving to Godot ASAP

lenathaw, (edited )

I am a light user so I just stayed on version 3.0.2

It works for my use case as it is and the day it doesn’t, I’ll look for whatever fork is most popular

lenathaw,

No, never had an issue with Signal backups.
