I prefer The Thirteenth Floor. 1999 scifi noir.

I might be wrong but I thought the official version only had "Powerline with extra symbols". Not Font Awesome, Material Design Icons, Weather, Devicons, Octicons, Font Logos, Pomicons, or Codeicons?

Delugia Code. Which is just Cascadia Code merged with Nerd Fonts. Useful for terminals. One could also just get the Nerd font patched with Cascadia Code, they are almost the same.

Modafinil works great for me. Not a legal drug where I live, unfortunately, and near impossible to get past the toll after the covid for some reason.

But "it" is the thing I like.

Yeah, that place looks like a perfect excuse to build an over-engineered, spagetti-shaped pedestrian walkway.

They put ads into their mobile app, between every 2nd post, that are literally scamming users to look at or click them, and they still come out negative?! Jeez. If ads are really bringing in so little money, maybe its time to drop the whole "free service with ads" business model and go back to subscriptions.

Well obviously. Like I said, those old ones I had was cringy as hell and I didn't want to post them. 😅 Also the "Pepperidge Farm Remembers" meme came LONG after the Demotivational poster meme became unpopular, didn't it? I doubt those two has been mixed before, so I had to do it.

Sort by "New Comments" and your frontpage will be a lot more active.

I dont think I'm addicted yet, but I'm certainly been checking Lemmy more often than I used to check Reddit. Also I'm active on Mastodon while I barely used to touch Twitter. It's because its something new and fresh and active. I'll probably tire of it soon.

You either use the left pad or you use the center analog stick. Not both.

Windows 11 had some pretty big improvements to borderless fullscreen in February. I cant tell the performance difference between borderless and excusive fullscreen on my rtx 3070 anymore.

If you check out the opencollective link in lemmy worlds sidebar, theres a budget breakdown there. And how much they gain in donations.

More varied sizes. I'm a tall guy who is also fat. But I'm not so fat as the clothes in my sizes think I am.

This is Norway. You'll have to be inside a mountain to not get a signal here. Phone-connected infrastructure is everywhere. I've climbed the highest mountain in Telemark and paid with my phone at the kiosk at the top.

All you have to do is just not participate in the data collection by saying “no” to that stuff.

But honestly, I love to use my phone for everything. Love not having to talk to people to get stuff done. Not deal with queues. Not wait for the server to be ready for me to pay before I leave. Not carry around paper tickets, or printed maps. Not having to find a seven-eleven to buy bus tickets.

I am worried for those who for some reason can't use a smart phone. A lot of this doesnt have a website alternative. Most of it has paper/plastic/in-person-alternatives still, true, rarely advertised though. I am worried the analog ways disappearing eventually since very few uses it.

With the new climate its gonna be used so often that we need a shorter word for it.

Hmm.. Hex'd? Cli-angry? Hausted? Nah, doesn't feel catchy enough.

Yeah. If calling/sms was all I used my phone for, I would probably still use my old Lumia Windows phone even as the app builders stopped supporting it.

But because its for public transport tickets, accessing the local library, accessing the gym center, ordering at restaurants or food delivery, sending money to family, car navigation, syncing my exercise watch, being invited to social events, streaming my cloud saved music library, rent a city-bike, check my medicine prescriptions..

I need a phone that is up to date. How is people living without a smart phone today?

If pants are all that keeps massive amounts of dick jokes back, I'm for pants.

I thought it obvious its a scam. The whole online ad market system is a least-effort per dollar system, automated and with everyone deflecting responsibility for what content they force on users. And the whole "internet today wouldn't work without ads, so we have to accept it" propaganda. It isn't designed with honesty in mind. Or user safety.

Im not against advertising. Im just against these mass-advertising systems. Worst thing that has happened to the web.
