Agreed. It will take a second to unlearn the muscle memory but separating it was a good idea.

I’ve tried Fedora 3 times years apart in my life and never had a good experience. The longest time I used a distro was with Elementary OS and Zorin OS, the latter of which I’m currently on.

In my country (in the EU) usually if a service charge is added on top of the order, it’s because that particular place doesn’t accept tips.

I’m kind of a generalist in terms of interest in the IT sector and have a surface level understanding of most things (professionally I’m just a fullstack webdev), one big crater in my knowledge is about how drivers work, really want to do something like this in my free time (next year because I’m pretty much drowning in tasks now). The closest (but still pretty far) to this I’ve done is write a small service that increases / decreases volume through pulseaudio based on ACPI events (windows tablet volume buttons weren’t working properly under linux).

Reading my comment back, excuse my writing style (too many brackets lol).

I absolutely do not care, storage is cheap. If it means the game has more & higher quality assets I’m all for it. An extra SSD or two never hurts.

Except if you’re an employer in a very small company.

I’ve learned excel in middle and high school in my native language, I absolutely fucking hate the translations… excel-translator.de coming in clutch.

That’s not necessarily a lenovo specific thing, windows can update bios if enabled (has been enabled by default of every modern windows device I own). When vendors push a new bios to the update catalog it’s going to get automatically installed by default. Look for a setting in the security panel of the bios to turn this off, can’t remember exactly what it’s called.

I feel you. The cable, adapter and usb hub market is fucking atrocious. Specifications are often inaccurate or insufficient. I’ve had so many headaches because of this, but at least we have a 14-day obligatory return policy in the EU.

You don’t understand, that’s for your protection so you can feel safer and even more freedomery

The consistency of when you eat (or the lack thereof) plays a bigger role in this than the diet itself, although it’s known that heavy meals in the evening can disrupt sleep.

Learning vim motions in VSCode with the vim plugin was the best decision I made this year. Made programming even more fun and after a year of learning I actually feel that I finally reached a point where I’m a lot more productive. I set up neovim too, but I’m missing some things to fully switch from VSCode and I have to research my options (git integration and debugging are my pet peeves), which I haven’t had time for lately.

LPT: have your last meal 16 hours before your breakfast. It’s going to reset your cycle in one day and you’re going to be able to go to bed and get up more easily the next day.

For example if you want to wake up at around 8am, eat dinner at 4pm, set an alarm at around 7:45 and eat breakfast at 8am.

Also what everyone else said are good tips to keep a consistent schedule, what I said is more like a soft reset, but you gotta practice not using screens at night, not drinking caffeine / not using nicotine (or any other stimulants that disrupt sleep) in the evening.

I noticed a massive drop of quality after the api changes (though it’s been declining for a couple years now) and after a while I just realized there is no point, so I mostly only kept subreddits related to my country. The balance of repost bots/trolls/idiots/people who think saying the same joke a million times is funny vs. people you actually can converse with really started outweighing the latter ever since covid hit and Reddit got even more popular (it was on a slow decline regardless). The api changes just made everything even worse.

I’d like to think things here will be better, and to be honest I’m really liking Lemmy so far.

They don’t need any other information than referral link clicks/signups and video views, one of which they have metrics on, the other is public information. A SponsorSkip user is equal in their eyes to a person who isn’t interested in the product.

When streaming first came in I finally stopped pirating and felt a little bit better about myself. A couple years passed and I’m back to pirating, even built a Plex media server in the meantime.

One of the reasons for this is that you already experienced a lot of games and there are less of those “first” experiences. Another reason is that AAA and AA has been very same-y for a while (I almost wrote ‘trash’, but not really, it’s pretty cool how far technology has come). AAA doesn’t try anything new, AA tries to be AAA. I tend to go back to older games I’m not familiar with and I follow the indie market, there are pretty cool niche games out there which sometimes bring back the spark of that “first-experience” feeling.

I really hate all these programming memes that revolve around typos. Makes me feel like they aren’t made by/for programmers.
