I'd rather have a nice battle than wins due to failures of the competition. Any competition for that matter.

We do have a lot of rain, specially in this time of year, but we have something here that is called a schoonloopmat which cleans/dries your shoes quite good. That together with hard wooden floors throughout the house makes I never take off my shoes at home.

There's one thing that's preventing me from doing exactly that and that is, as a non-native English speaker with tinnitus, the constant struggle to find good subtitles that are properly synced. My lazy ass just wants to enjoy a movie at a normal volume without having to force myself to be super-focussed in order not to miss the whole goddamn plot of the movie.

How do you mean "you can only install b building it yourself"? I just downloaded it from Github, installed it like any other keyboard and started using it. Works like a charm.

Wild suggestion here. Type the word "Proton" in your search engine of choice and almost blindly click on the first link that comes up. Take as long as you need.

Who cares. If you have a shred of privacy awareness, you'd steer very clear from it.

I am a strong supporter of keeping religions a private matter. Believe anything you want but let it be your belief and do not try to force it onto anybody else, not even your own children. Let them decide for themselves if they want to join you or not.

Tot verrassing van niemand. Wie heeft er ooit bedacht dat toestaan van online goksites niet zou leiden tot gokverslaving en een hele trits van de meest wanstaltige reclames die je ooit gezien hebt?

Utter nonsense. The reason alien conspiracy theories don't exist about castles and cathedrals is because the construction of these buildings was almost always very well documented and in many cases these documents still exist today. As far as I know there are no testimonies on the construction of the Egyptian and Mayan pyramids other than the structures themselves.

I agree completely that this can have negative impact on discussions, stimulate karma farming etc. So I'm all for it to hide it. Would be nice though to completely skip it from the UI (of in this case Boost).
Has anybody else experienced this? Ever since Lemmy was upgraded to 0.19, all of my sweet internet points are gone. I know you're not supposed to care about that, nevertheless am I the only one?!

I really don't understand why companies use these tactics. Makes me instantly hate them and leave their website/cancel purchase processes etc. never to return again unless it's absolutely completely unavoidable. Rather pay a bit more than dealing with scummy/scammy businesses.

Problem is that no noncommercial platform would ever have the same coverage as a commercial one like X. People simply would not see the necessity to install it until it's too late.

I don't agree. First of all, you always had to be careful to plug it in the right way up and over time the little hooks on the connector always wore out much faster than with usb-c so the cable would come loose and you'd wind up with a phone that wasn't charged in the morning.

I don't entirely agree with you. Comparing the same song in MP3 or FLAC on the factory-fitted audio system in my car (2023 Skoda Octavia Combi) already makes a huge difference. Of course the difference is smaller when using 256 or 320 kbps MP3, but even then FLAC just adds that extra bit of depth and "openness" to the music

FLAC files are typically larger than MP3, because with MP3 roughly 90% of the original file is discarded on encoding, hence lossy compression. At decoding the codec tries to restore this 90% out of the original remaining 10%. This sounds worse than it actually is, but you understand why MP3 is considered inferior by audio purists.
On the other hand FLAC uses a different compression technique that reduces the original file by 30-50% but without any data deletion, hence lossless. So, original file let's say 100MB as .wav, compresses to 30-50 MB IN FLAC and 6-10 MB in MP3.
I gladly sacrifice the additional storage to get noticeably better quality audio.

In the end all religions boil down to one thing. Power and dominance (specifically male dominance) over others. "My religion is X and you have to do as I say because MY fairy tale book tells me bla-bla-bla, so YOU have to obey." Fuck all religions who use their shit stories to oppress others.

Scale-wise not perhaps, but on percentage of destroyed buildings in a particular (small) area it's right up there I think.

Misschien been idee om dit een terugkerend topic te maken? Kom je interessante goed gemaakte podcasts tegen, post ze dan hier. Een greep uit mijn favorieten: * Moordzaken, de podcast (uiteraard!) * Daders (interviews met veroordeelde ex-criminelen) * De zaak ontleed (met Saskia Belleman) * Takedown (bestrijding van cybercriminaliteit) * De verdwenen SS'er * Oorlogswond (artsen in WOII)
Eerste kabinet Wilders? Wat denken jullie? Eindelijk echte actie op terugdringen van de asielstroom of wordt Nederland het volgende land waar een Trump-achtige populist de boel eens flink gaat opschudden?
This may be a really dumb question, but why can't I find a Refresh button or option? Upon returning to Voyager after some time I always want to refresh to see if there are new posts. Now I have to scroll back up all the way before I can "pull to refresh" or I have to leave Home, go to All and then back to Home to force a refresh. An option under the 3 dots at the top right would be very helpful in this case. Am I missing something really simple or is this indeed not possible at the moment?
Help! I'm not sure if requests for help are allowed. If not, I apologise and please let me know where to ask this. Since a day or two, my Google TV is missing about 90% of the preview thumbnails. Only the "continue watching" section and the YouTube links is still showing them. Deleting various caches didn't solve it and I have no idea what to do next. Preferably I don't want to factory reset due to various settings and logins I not sure I'm able to restore. Also I should mention that I side-loaded SmartTube and about the same time the issue started occurring. Not sure if related though. Help would be much appreciated.
