2·20 hours agoWell, if it’s a black bear, shouting and waving your arms will normally chase it off.
Or how bad something is. “I don’t need a scientific study to tell me that looking at my phone before bed will make me sleep badly”, but the studies actually show that the effect is statistically robust but small.
In the same way, studies like this can make the distinction between different levels of advice and warning.
3·6 days agoI joined a month ago, and I like Lemmy much much more than Reddit. The federation makes it visible that you’re part of a large community, there’s no advertising, and I find the discussion to be of a generally higher quality. I also like that one can see upvotes and downvotes. Not sure whether it needs to be fuzzified or embargoed to fight abuse in future, but either way, it’s nice.
I’m absolutely sold on Lemmy vs Reddit. I dumped Twitter when Musk took over, and by then I was already on Mastodon, but I don’t actually use it much. Didn’t use Twitter much either. Any comments on Mastodon vs Bluesky?
I just wish I could have AfterStep’s mini desktop pager in a modern window manager. It was so cool seeing an overview of my virtual desktops next to each other and being able to drag windows from one to the other without switching desktops.
Username is relevant?
pip is the most unreliable package manager I’ve seen,
But have you tried conda? (It’s so much worse)
For example?
I’ve installed Lawnchair and I’m quite happy with it.
Yep. I recently bought a used Pixel 8 and wanted to install a new launcher - my googling turned up Nova launcher, but the app said it had ads, so I looked a bit further and installed Lawnchair instead. Does the job!

The girl stands at the lake and it sees him.
In German, a lake is masculine and all diminutives are neuter, and that includes Mädchen (girl), which is a diminutive of the obsolete word “Magd” (a cognate of “maid”).
Second hand ThinkPads are absolutely brilliant value.
garlic and basil in the same pot. They all three
Wait, are you counting garlic, basil and the pot, or how are you getting to three?
Wait, you didn’t know this before getting into it? That’s the first thing I ever heard about it, and I’ve never owned any 40K anything.
Lenses maybe, camera bodies, nah.
“apt install <program>” is just so much nicer than running some weird installer.
Only steers and bears?
