Because of the bike lanes in the other streets of course.

“What’s a desktop?”

At the start of Covid, we had to start working from home. Our Chief Security Idiot thought that was a good time to impose measures that made it impossible to reboot a computer without physical access. When I questioned how that would work with my desktop, which stayed in the office building that I couldn’t legally access, he kept saying I had to take the “laptop” with me. I told him several times that it was a desktop, but he just couldn’t understand until my boss got involved.

That was my first run-in with our idiot-in-charge-of-security, and it only got worse after that.

How often do you actually use a pop-up that comes up when selecting text? And is it really more convenient than selecting followed by a right click, or pressing a shortcut?

Even if the people who select text while reading are in the minority, this post shows it’s a large minority. And I’m quite convinced that the number of times such a pop-up is used, is also a minority.

Note: not a professional, I’ve just helped a few people with renovations.

In Europe, usually brick, concrete, or in newer homes interior walls use “fast build bricks”, which are larger and lighter. In not sure, but pretty confident that these are largely gypsum.

Sometimes larger rooms are partitioned with plates made of cardboard and gypsum - I suspect these are very similar to your drywall. But these are not part of the permanent structure, and new owners will often change or remove them (but honestly they sometimes remove brick walls too, which is fine as long as it’s not a structural wall).

In my own house, one wall (between kitchen and dining room) is entirely wood. All the rest is brick, finished with plaster. This house was built in the early 80s.

That’s a great game indeed. The narration is on point.

I use Remote Desktop it a lot, and was warned about the changing name beforehand. And yet when one day the old application disappeared from my dock, I had the same reaction. I thought company IT or a macOS update might’ve screwed me over.

I’m used to it now, but that was a strange day.

Does the team for your team have a theme in Teams yet?

Are you sure it’s not appje?

Wouldn’t you need half the clock if it had twice the numbers?

I think I remember seeing another one too, but I can’t find it.

Sounds like most of Lemmy. Honestly sometimes I feel it’s worse than Reddit with the constant bashing on anything except Linux, Firefox, or - for some reason - Steam. Still glad I left Reddit though.

I’ve gone the opposite route. I never log in, and remove all cookies. I almost always use an incognito tab for YouTube. I’m a new visitor to them every time, in as much as that’s possible. I use bookmarks to go back to creators I want to see, and occasionally check them. No subscriptions either, which may suck for the creator, but at least they get my views.

It has worked for them for years. It’s just more targeted now.

“I’m a cat people” - Nastassia Kinski is that you?

They may have dyuers coloures.

There are 168 hours in a week. Why not use them all?

Draw an S on there and bam! you have a Super button.

What’s a Super button you ask? It’s the S in S-M-butterfly. Or in other words: it’s an extra modifier key.

PDF, as it evolved from PostScript, is the de facto standard for most print jobs. Commercial print (think magazines and flyers), packaging, large format (e.g. billboards), books, many textile prints, etc. They all use PDF extensively. And very often those PDFs are print technically garbage. Fixing that in the original application is either not possible or, more frequently, requires knowledge the designers simply don’t have. So the print shop’s prepress department does it in PDF directly.
