This has been a thing on British-speaking dating app profiles for at least 10 years to the point that I absolutely hate it now.

Seconding this. Came from using foobar on windows and strawberry has hit all the right notes. Great piece of software.

I use JS and TS semi-regularly and got 5/28 🤡

FYI it’s called Czechia now :)

I dunno, I think there’s an argument to be made that a life without some challenge, striving, and failure isn’t a well lived life, but I also absolutely think that societally mandated toil for 1/3 of one’s waking hours in order to survive is not the way to build a healthy relationship to that idea.

Hard work for its own sake or for self-fulfilment is not a scam and can be very rewarding. Hard work as a means to escape systemic inequality and poverty cycles absolutely is.

I tried to watch it again recently and it looks like absolute trash. I appreciate directors being experimental but at least with old analog formats they scale pretty well with modern resolutions.

Came to post almost exactly this

Men can be great too, and being a man has lots of perks (beyond even those imposed by patriarchy). Look for allies and you will find them in all gender flavours.

In Australia we call it a long black. I think it’s a great name and wish it would catch on across the pond.

For me it was a combination of gaining true self-acceptance, recognising that there was the possibility of personal joy and fulfillment despite humanity being irredeemably lost, and starting to work toward long term goals.

Everyone’s experience will be different, but by focusing on myself I found that I became someone who was never alone because I found a rich group of people who shared similar interests and cared about me. If you’re feeling stuck in your own head I would genuinely recommend seeking professional help and think about trying Psilocybin as the mental shifts can be more profound than you might imagine. At least they were for me.

Don’t watch it because it won an Oscar, watch it because it is a beautiful, sweet movie about animals helping each other.

I haven’t seen Wallace & Grommet but Flow deserves all the cred it’s getting - beautiful film.

I have multiple notes apps but one thing that’s prevented me from ditching keep is that I have dozens of old notes which I’d like to transfer to the replacement app.

I’m pretty tech savvy but have had a look and couldn’t find an easy way to export my notes from keep. Anyone have any advice?

Relatable

This is the kind of gaslighting I come to Lemmy for!

Not sure how it works in the US but here in Oz (where water scarcity is always present in our collective psyche) golf courses are usually placed on flood plains where it would be dangerous/too expensive to build housing. In addition most allow people to walk through them and many even allow dog walkers so they have quite a lot of public amenity.

I would still prefer if they were just designated as public parks rather than having huge swathes of grass that needed frequent watering, but they’re not nearly as bad as most make them out to be.

I wish this were the case, and in a world where software was perfectly documented and there was clearly one (or maybe 3) ways to accomplish a task I could see this being the case. Unfortunately there really is an intuition that needs to be built up over years of the underlying logic of how the most prominent software packages work and how to efficiently accomplish some basic workflows. There is no chance that someone with zero prior knowledge of excel is going to reach the same level of competency on their own as someone with 5 years of supervised experience.

I hate that Microsoft products are the de-facto standard in every workplace, but what I hate more is that they have shaped how we expect software to operate: the underlying logic (or lack thereof), where to look for tools, what keystrokes/operations result in what actions, etc. In this way they’ve also monopolised software design in a way that prevents innovation, since we all already understand how to use Microsoft’s products (at least to some extent) it makes breaking that mould a really dangerous proposition for competitors. It also means that someone with a really deep knowledge of the M$ suite is going to be far more valuable to most businesses than someone with less experience but a better grasp of how to acquire knowledge.

The last 2 minutes of this talk are pure gold. Thanks for sharing!

Fair enough. I’ve tried using twitch on my Fedora laptop with FF and I get blocked out by their browser message so I assumed that they were restricting access to chromium only.
