Funny enough, I also have astigmatism, and it’s harder to read light mode for the same reason. It’s just that the blur moves inwards instead of outwards. With bold fonts it’s not as bad, but thinner fonts can be a pain to see

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What kind of job can you never imagine yourself doing?
2·8 hours agoSince someone already said HR: Middle management. I don’t want to be making life changing decisions for other people at the behest of what someone else thinks shareholders want.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What kind of job can you never imagine yourself doing?
6·8 hours agoIt’s especially bad when you look at time of day stats and see that, on average, judges push harsher sentencing right before their lunch break.
It’s wild that we have a system that ruins people’s lives that’s affected by how hungry one person is

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What kind of job can you never imagine yourself doing?
3·8 hours agoYeah… HR’s job is to make sure the company doesn’t get sued over worker’s rights issues, that’s it. It’s always said that they’re on your side, etc, but they are fundamentally on the side of the company

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•How to annoy a Linux evangelist
3·12 hours agoTo be fair, part of this is my own experience. I’ve owned a Chromebook (still have it… Somewhere?), and know how it works. I’ve never once touched a Mac xD

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•How to annoy a Linux evangelist
11·12 hours agoIt’s funny how my opinion of this really is:
Linux > Only using a smartphone (GrapheneOS) > Only using a smartphone (LineageOS) > Only using a smartphone (ARM Linux) > Literally not having a computer at all > Returning to the woods and living completely off-grid for the rest of my sorry days > Screaming into the void hoping it claims me > Chromebook > Mac > Windows
I just did Linux/Chromebook(derogatory)/Mac/Windows but it really didn’t capture my disdain for the last 3 enough

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What improved your quality of life so much, you wish you did it sooner?
3·1 day agoI hadn’t, but also I eat them with the sticker on. It’s even made of food safe paper and glue!
I just peel them with the sticker on and didn’t notice xD Does make sense, though!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How old did you get your driver's license? Did you learn driving from a driving school or from parents? (or some friend or relative?)
2·1 day ago21, both my grandmother, and an instructor.
Before then I feasibly had no way to drive, so it was just an extra cost for no benefit. Family didn’t have a car at all when I was 16, and I didn’t get my first car until shortly before I got my license. I also just hate driving, it wigs my anxiety out. It’s still the only car I’ve ever owned, and I sold it about a year ago.
I work from home, and only even borrow someone’s car or get a ride if I can’t get to a store on foot, which is one I only go to monthly. I’d still be borrowing a car if I could, though, I’m not sure I could carry 40 pounds of compressed sawdust home on foot. Even with that I likely won’t let the license expire, since it’s the same cost as an ID anyway.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•How does browserleaks detect uBlock blocklists ?
1·1 day agoIt’s very wrong about my entire setup, but it’ll be because it can tell you didn’t download some things

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•GPD claim the WIN 5 is getting an official Bazzite Linux adaptation but the Bazzite team say otherwiseEnglish
5·2 days agoMight be a marketing thing, since the big ones are all using some variant of Linux as an option on their handhelds now. I also only remember one using Windows as a positive part of their marketing, and haven’t seen anything from them in a good while

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•If you have one, how much do you pay for a domain name? Any cheap registrar recommendations?English
1·2 days agoIs there a reason to be concerned about the blocking anywhere besides email? I can’t think of any, but I might not be thinking of some usecases
Kristell@herbicide.fallcounty.omg.lolto
Selfhosted@lemmy.world•If you have one, how much do you pay for a domain name? Any cheap registrar recommendations?English
4·2 days agoI use two: Namecheap and omg.lol.
Admittedly omg.lol isn’t a traditional registrar, but they do give you a domain name and other stuff (I don’t use most of it), but it’s $20/yr
Namecheap varies, but last I checked it was a bit cheaper. Not by much, maybe $15/yr for my .monster domain?

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•NexusMods Is "Committing" To Supporting Vortex On Steam Deck/SteamOS ["We’ll be targeting vanilla Steam hardware like the Steam Deck and Steam Machine."]English
5·2 days agoYeah. And while Vortex does work on deck/Linux, it’s a royal pain to do, and in my experience you need to install multiple instances of it. I’d love to see them have native support, and make it so I don’t need a different installation in every single wine prefix

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•In response to Epic CEO Tim Sweeney waging war on Steam, Larian's publishing lead says, 'Giving everyone everything for free might bump numbers but doesn't create a viable storefront'English
27·2 days agoI mean, I’m personally not spending a cent there until the CEO stops assuming everyone on Linux is cheating at their games, but y’know. Maybe if they slander an entire demographic of computers enough they’ll bump their numbers

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Ex MMO dev allegedly hacked 68 players for in-game gold worth over $700,000 and sold it for Bitcoin, UK court finds the gold legally counts as "property" and can be stolenEnglish
1·3 days agoAlmost certainly. I’d say Project Entropia is also screwed, but that is literally a casino of a game, so as long as there are players, they’ll be making money. Second Life is more worrying, though. Both games let you “cash out” your funny money to real money, but Entropia literally functions as a casino, where SL is more like a full economy

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I want to leave fb. Where is a similar place?
2·3 days agoI think I get it (I hope)? I’ve had a rough couple days sleep and amn’t firing on all cylinders, apologies xD
From the personal side: I don’t really notice it much, because I’ve never really used social media to keep up with people. Facebook was the one I had the most IRL connections on, and I only used it to talk to 5 or 6 people, never for the social media features. It is harder to keep myself on Friendica, and not let it sit idle though. Admittedly it may well just turn into mostly me auto-posting from my blog’s RSS feed, and checking replies occasionally at some point, but I do still check it pretty regularly.
Getting people to switch: I gave up on that before I even started, especially with Friendica. I could probably convince one of my friends to join Lemmy since it’s pretty easy to say “Search lemmyverse.net, copy the community name, paste it” than however you’re supposed to find people on low-pop traditional activity pub styled servers. Plus I am the techiest person I know by a long shot, and while you don’t need to be techie to be on fedi… A lot of us are, so it’s hard to find people who aren’t talking about it as most of what they post.
From the platform’s perspective: Honestly it’s getting better on the whole. It’s not that different to any other apub server, except in that it has more protocols built in (apub, zot, dfrn, and diaspora, plus you can directly follow RSS feeds if you want), and there are a lot of connectors to socials like Tumblr, and even Facebook from what I saw. There’s people here! It’s just convincing people that’s hard.
Sorry if this didn’t actually answer the question, I did my best with a very soupy brain xD Feel free to ask any questions though!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I want to leave fb. Where is a similar place?
2·3 days agoI have some IRL friends there, but not many. Most of them are people I met through the fediverse. I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “Without the network effect of real people” though?
Kristell@herbicide.fallcounty.omg.lolto
Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Mini stories on lemmy, will it be interesting?
1·3 days agoIt’s not necessarily what I come here for, but I think it could be interesting, at least if you can tag things. Not necessarily for content, but for series being able to find the other posts would be nice. Maybe for series you start it off with an editable master post that you link to and edit every time?
I found this, which is a tutorial on how to transfer it to Spotify, but it has CSV export instructions:
https://soundiiz.com/tutorial/shazam-to-spotify
It seems like you might need to do it from the web interface, which would imply you’d need an account
