I also mask. People don’t generally talk about it here, and masking wasn’t even very common back when the pandemic was taken more seriously.
Never faced any aggression but people do give you a wide berth which is kind of hilarious to me, but it doesn’t bother me at all.
Wait, they’re withholding security updates unless you pay? Hope they go bankrupt.
Wow. Took them fucking long enough. They’ve been doing that with LGBTQ+ videos for ages already, so it’s not like the tech hasn’t been there. For shame.
This is an interesting read. English isn't my native language, and while I'm quite proficient, I lack a lot of cultural context, particularly when it comes to American English. My partner is American, and through/with them I've learned a lot of problematic phrases and expressions. It's baffling just how much language is used to dehumanise, other, and discriminate against people.
That's not to say it doesn't happen in my native tongue, it definitely does, but I guess it's more baffling when it's something that's unfamiliar to you.
Marijuana obviously sounds like it's rooted in Spanish, but I never thought much about it. If you'd asked me, I'd just wager a guess that it's the Spanish term for it. I hate how oftentimes when I start poking at these preconceived notions, an uglier reality reveals itself. It's never as benign as I initially believe.
Wow you unlocked a memory in me. I recall doing something similar but using some send command to do the same with any computer logged in and on the network.
Week after that I met a dude from municipal school IT support and that’s when I first learned about Linux. He had Red Hat on his laptop and he was happy to talk about it. Very cool dude.
Aye. I didn’t look deeply into it but it’s nice that it exists.
I previously had the Roborock S4, and upgraded to a Roborock S8 with the auto-emptying dock last year. I have a husky mix, and so my home gets quite hairy. Having a robot vacuum that can empty itself without me having to really do much is a lifesaver. Roborock also offers spare parts, and you can take these machines apart to fix them, if the need arises; none of my machines have ever broken down though.
You don't need to connect the robot to the app, but I don't think you get the scheduling functionality without it. You can of course always just press the button to start it manually, and that's what I've been doing most of the time since I want it running when I'm out and that time window tends to shift a bit.
Yesterday I also learned that there's OSS you can flash onto the machine to decouple it from Xiaomi's stuff, which I think is great.
I don’t think she should be earning so much, but varannandagsutdelning does actually make sense with how few letters get sent (even though I’d also prefer daily delivery). But crazy that stamp prices have also basically doubled.
I think the main issue I have is that this also applies to time critical post, and thus post can arrive too late.
But just like with so many other public service things and agencies, Sweden is determined to make a paper profit. Vinstkrav. Would be cool if SJ for example was allowed to sell their train tickets for cheaper prices, but nope, they need to make at least 10% profit or something around that.
When it comes to essential infrastructure it makes no sense to me that they need to operate on a profit.
SEK. I make 38k a month! Thus, she makes about ~18 times more than me and then a nurse's salary on top of that.
That’s PostNord for you. Reminder that the CEO earns ~700k a month for doing helpful things like… introducing every other day delivery of post. Hmmm.
Yeah I can see that. My work computer is a laptop, with an ultra wide external monitor. I never use the browser on the laptop screen because with vertical tabs it just takes up too much space. Otherwise vertical tabs give you an easy overview of what you have open if you like me tend to leave a tonne of tabs up.
I rather like the wide berth people give me even though it doesn’t make much sense. Like, anyone could have Covid, but if I had it and I wear a respirator I’ll be less dangerous than someone who has it and doesn’t wear one. I get that people equate respirators with spooky but that’s just because they haven’t thought about it.
Thinking back on it, there was a single dude that spoke to me randomly. I think it might have been because of the mask but I’ve genuinely no idea, I always wear ANC headphones and ignore people. It helps my anxiety a lot.
Sadly, the people that will really appreciate you using a respirator are those you generally don’t see out and about because they can’t be, it isn’t safe for them.
