I’d use linux in a heartbeat if it was supported by the tools I use for work.

This movie is a masterpiece. I’ve seen it more times than I’d like to admit.

Lucky you. My dad died from cancer when I was 14. That was rough.

Recently my mom died at 70 years old. The last time I saw my mom alive was at her sister funeral a month before. Three months later, her last remaining sister died. Same year my brother in law also died. 2022 was so far the worst year of my life. Covid was not the reason for any of the deaths.

But hey, no matter how bad things might be, they can always get worse.

I’ve got a ID4 and they are all capacitive buttons. It makes a tactile vibration when engaged.

I hate my car. Nice to drive, but awful to use.

I worked at a factory that produced food with onion as one of the main ingredients. The best trick was to breathe with the mouth. Breathing with my nose would always make my eyes cry.

Every Mark Rober video is now an ad. They’re also loud and obnoxious, so I’ve stopped watching them.

I’ve actually never watched a Mr Beast video. They never came up in my feed.

I currently drive a BMW i3 (BEV). Best car I’ve ever owned.

I had the HTC Desire Z back in the day, with a full qwerty keyboard underneath the screen. It was awesome to write on, but it lacked performance.

I agree. Because of this, I actually changed carrier to one that was cheaper, had better coverage and free eSIM.

I tried to transfer my eSIM from my old S21 to my new S24 the other day. It failed miserably. My carrier charges me $10 for a new eSIM (which i think is way too much for a digital service). Transferring eSIMs sounds like a good idea if it works, but might not be endorsed by carriers that earn large profits from the service.

I’m not American, but I’ve lived a few years in the US. I find it very interesting that the US invented the electric infrastructure that we use today, but they really screwed up a few things. Firstly, the connectors are far too unsafe. They are flimsy and have no protection from electrocution. Secondly, by using 120V as the main voltage, you need more current to do the same amount of work as a 240V system. Thay means thicker wires, more stress on the plugs, and greater fire hazards.

Shuko plugs FTW

Why?

I bought an Aeropress a few years ago and absolutely love it. Then I realised that my cheap grinder wasn’t all that great, so I bougt a $400 grinder. My quality of life is at its peak right now.

Yeah, but it can also be a type of radio wave

I came as far as asking: is it an oven 👍 Then: is it a stove 👎 Then wtf is it???

I never in my life have considered a microwave to be an oven, but obviously it is. I’ve never had one, so I have limited experience with it.

If you use Sync for Lemmy, you can add filters that removes certain topics of your choosing.

Christmas is largely a pagan tradition that was turned into a christian tradition to make it easier to convert them to christianity.

The christmas tree is not a christian tradition. Santa is not a christian tradition. Nothing really is, except for Jesus allegedly being born on the exact date when the pagans celebrated “Jolablot” or the midwinter fest.

It makes more economic sense to improve the rails we already have, and build faster trains to run on the existing rails (like the TGV), than building completely new infrastructure.

GoGo Penguin is a jazzy trio from the UK that makes midern jazz that is really engaging. I’m really a progmetalhead, but this band is ficking epic.

Bersarin Quartett is another band that I love. It’s is a bit tough to get into, but it’s really rewarding if you like slowish dreamy complex music. All song titles are in German, but luckily there’s no lyrics.
