Not technically a chore, but a chore preventer: Close the lid before flushing the toilet.

I run an Airbnb hosting in a room on my house for like 3 years and I’m still amazed by how little people actually did it. Even after we sat a signal asking for it just above the flush button. Having feces particles all around your brushes, toothbrushes, towels, etc is an image nobody has but myself it seems.

Less hate and radicalism. I’m sorry to say this because I would love Lemmy to rule over Reddit, but most headlines I get are about hate: from Elon Musk, to Apple, to any browser not being Firefox or any OS not being Linux or Android.

Yes!! I remember it better now with yellow stars!

yes! Wasn’t it blue?

All the internals of one laptop I opened were really covered in oil, the fans were totally stuck and unable to spin (maybe the main reason why they sent it to us) and the whole thing really stank. I called the customer to ask how was that possible and to inform that those defects weren’t covered by our warranty and they told me it was used in a restaurant’s kitchen, and they didn’t understand why they couldn’t use it there.

using Minecraft to compare natural vs artificial was something I wasn’t expecting to see today. Specially comparing the quality of carrots generated by the game vs carrots planted by the player.

So, we will be forced to see ads, while they can’t yet control who’s publishing those ads. I wonder why Google (and any other ad company) hasn’t been sued yet for showing and infecting malware into the people who click on their ads. Maybe is not that critical or easy for a domestic user, but corporations or governments?

And it’s not because it’s impossible to verify malware before accepting their ads, it’s because THEY DONT CARE. If they can detect music on videos for copyright claims, they can analyze everything, they can also verify publishers. And if they can’t with an algorithm, they should use humans to manually verify publishers.

What??? Let me cry a bit from Norway, where I pay 829NOK (82$) for 150mbps fiber

Texas Instruments is preparing a case against your comment.

I’m trying it and i would say it’s quite close. As far as I know, it lacks the last recent updates like action buttons and AI spam (that’s a positive one for me). But it has databases like Notion, my biggest requirement for a second brain, so I’m in.

I’ve been reading their FAQ and this sounds very reasonable:

• If you want to use their cloud for backup, it will have a cost (they have not come with one yet because they have not come that far yet. It’ll depend on their hosting cost and such).

• But if you want to just sync between your own devices without their server, you can, and it’ll be totally free (they insist that “your data is always yours and only yours”)

Thank you! I downloaded and tried it and I like it a lot! Runs really smooth and the features like end to end encryption, decentralized and local sync between devices and being open software are enough reasons to jump onboard!

I’m not a power user and I want to use it personally for myself (not a business) and after seeing what it can do and how smooth it is, I’m in!

Why there’s always the top comment in any kind of protest with a Sweet summer child already giving up at the start?

I heard this is a very American thing and I would suggest you guys to change that attitude and start fighting for your rights for once. If you keep all giving up your rights will be eaten by the corporations even further.

Interesting. I have a few questions for those who have already tried:

• Does it work offline?
• Does it has databases like Notion?
• Does it has a browser extension to capture content from the web?

I know I can look for it myself on the web, and I’ll do right now, but I think that having here the answers will help others with the same questions.

Sorry, old habits from Reddit. I agree with you. This is one great thing I learnt from stoicism and is a great approach in life. It doesn’t mean to become an ignorant about global issues or don’t care at all, it means to focus on what you can do in your life to help or to have a good life:

Can you fix global warming? Not alone. Then, don’t worry about it in your day life. But, what can you do to help? Can you reduce or stop using plastic bags? Then do it. Have you the money to buy an electric car? Then do it. If not, don’t worry about it until you can.

Stoicism for me is also a great tool to reduce a big problem I can’t solve into smaller actionable problems I may be able to solve and helps me focus on them. It truly helps you to reduce stress about big problems.

The reason why Vivaldi is not on iOS or iPadOS is because Vivaldi hasn’t developed it, not because Apple doesn’t let them in. All the other browsers are on iOS.

As many other things on the internet, the original idea was great (renting your couch or a room in your house for tourists to accommodate and feel a local experience, but once it reached the masses, and speculative companies bought properties just to rent them and pay cheap labor to maintain the rooms, it became BS one more time.

No matter what those whose drive is pure economical touch, they always ruin it.

They would be indifferent if they were also indifferent about money, but they’re absolutely driven by greed, so no, they’re not indifferent: if they see a chance to make more money, they’ll go for it no matter what or who they harm with it.

I agree! And it’s reversible, and it’s specially satisfying by holding it from the cable and just approaching it to the macbook and feel (it happens too fast to see it) how it moves and snaps into place no matter what. It’s the only one ever I always have had a 100% success rate ever.

Not really. They’re not indifferent at all. In reality they act like narcissistic and like psychopathic humans. I watched a documentary years ago exploring that and talking with psychologists about symptoms and they agreed that they behave like psychopaths. And don’t forget that they are run by humans.

Corporations:

• Can buy and sell stuff
• Can do evil things without consequences (an employee can pay the consequences but the company will keep going).
• They have no remorse or empathy.
• Can manipulate to reach their goals, no matter who (from media to politics to countries).
• Whenever somebody at the top can’t reach an economical goal, that person is fired and replaced by one who can. It’s like a hive evil mind.
• Goal #1 is always money (absolute selfish and egomaniac), no matter what or who.
