s_i_m_s,

It does though. Installing a matte screen protector was one of the very first things I did after I got it.

Put a matte screen protector on my iPad a few years ago to cut down on the glare and that was it, everything had to be that way from then on.

Downside is you do lose some image crispness but it’s so very worth it for the huge reduction in glare.

Also matte protectors aren’t nearly as popular so there’s a lot smaller selection to chose from.

s_i_m_s,

Maybe for some models? IDK I haven’t seen one but I’ve noticed there is a much smaller selection of matte protectors in general vs glossy.

I don’t think there’s any reason they can’t.

s_i_m_s,

Hey covid will still kill you even if you call it a hoax.
Rep: you God damn liberals are ruining this county Several family members die
Rep: they died of pneumonia not covid covid is a hoax and a Chinese bioweapon.

Like I can’t tell that they actually give a fuck about reality anymore even when they can directly see it killing them they still deny it.

s_i_m_s,

So how do you combat that if even their family dying around them isn’t enough to get them to even consider those people on tv might have lied to them?

s_i_m_s,

Mint (MATE). It’s preconfigured closest to what I want, with just a couple tweeks I can do whatever I need with utilities and a GUI I’m familiar with.

If Its a headless machine Ubuntu or Debian. Again familiar with both can do whatever on both without having to relearn low to build a wheel.

Primarily a windows user but I do use Linux for some applications.

s_i_m_s,

Probably a full overlap with people that have fully functional keyboards.

I finally gave up and just set a wireless keyboard on top of the built in keyboard.

s_i_m_s,

Genuine games being sold with cracks to remove the DRM instead of recompiling it without the DRM because the DRM doesn’t work on modern machines and they can’t be arsed to recompile and actually fix anything so even they resort to piracy.

It’s absolutely ridiculous.

s_i_m_s,

Lead poisoning, it used to be popular for plates and cups cuz it made the food taste better (because the lead leached in and lead has a sweet taste), then later indoor plumbing (sometimes with lead pipes) became common like a decade prior to the founding of the Republican party in the 1850s. We didn’t get leaded gas until the 1920s

Anyone considered getting rid of leaded avgas yet?

Or testing food for lead more stringently?

Like they had children suffering from lead toxicity recently from contaminated applesauce packages and it takes a fuckton of lead to cause toxicity.

s_i_m_s,

New York is a real place. Does that mean spiderman is real?

s_i_m_s,

Glow in the dark tape on the front and back of my phone and on the tips of the chargers to make them easier to find in the dark.

For the same reason my phone case is the brightest colored one I could find.

I had to get some clear heat shrink tubing to put over the charging cable ends to hold the tape in place otherwise it unravels after a few days use.

Sure they make lit USB cables but not in 20ft+

I’d really have preferred to have a bright solid glow in the dark phone case but for whatever reason barring I have one 3d printed (which will then not have the same protection of a normal cheap rubberized case) there isn’t anything like that available.

    He had them ready to give him a third term before he finished his first.

    Remember back when the republicans were all saying he was entitled to a third term because his first was nullified by the failed impeachment?

    Americans of Lemmy, what is your approach to next year's election?

    2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision...

    s_i_m_s,

    Well she did win the popular by several million but it’s not like anyone actually cared what the people wanted.

    The miles and miles of empty dirt’s vote was way more important for some reason.

    s_i_m_s,

    Voting by mail as usual.

    Trying to avoid customers that can’t shut up about how wonderful trump is.

    “I think he’s the antichrist but he’s doing a good job”

    You know, bat shit insane things republicans say.

    s_i_m_s,

    Didn’t he already present one? Just it was so bad it was going to cause something like 20 million people to lose their insurance? So he couldn’t even get the republicans to vote for it?.. Went back and checked npr.org/…/cbo-republicans-ahca-would-leave-23-mil… yeah that did actually happen.

    s_i_m_s,

    Still can’t figure out why their voters either don’t see it or don’t care.

    Like at least prior to trump you could kinda see it but now you just have to be in outright denial of reality.

    s_i_m_s,

    My first thought was oh is that supposed to make me feel better that he had to be a bigshot lawyer to be able to get healthcare?

    s_i_m_s,

    I bought a pack of a hundred of them and put several everywhere I thought I might look for one.

    s_i_m_s,

    IMHO the one in the middle is the most comfortable to use.

    s_i_m_s,

    Yeah considering they didn’t discover electricity until the 1700s then they didn’t even invent one that lasted long enough to be practical until 1879.
