… And my axe!

Edit: I said the funny line, updoots to the just please

I’m actually surprised the robot mowers dont just bump off them to be honest, my Husqvarna 450X is barely an inch off the ground and just bumps in to anything higher than that then spins around and goes in another direction

Pretty much never. Direct family only really.

Talking is for IRL, or actually urgent things. Everything else is a message or email.

Don’t ring me to discuss an email.

It’s a black rectangle!

*gasps of admiration*

After reading the site, I’m still not entirely sure how to use it.

Is there a decent demo site somewhere? The examples they show are very simplistic

“A voice note is just like talking on the phone but better,” says Susie Jones, a 19-year-old student. “You get the benefits of hearing your friend’s voice but comes with no pressures so it’s a more polite way of communicating”.

Gross, voice notes are the worst of both worlds.

Text for things that are information critical, phone calls for things that are time critical.

Email for business (and keep the original chain going instead of starting a new one every time you think of something else to add!), text messages for associates, chat apps for friends and family.

Anyone who disagrees is wrong.

On the plus side, the more people who don’t use password managers the more chance us password manager users will remain not worth the effort.

It’s kinda like security through obscurity mixed with only having to be faster than the slowest person to outrun a lion.

Oh, right.

You could try an extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/cookiewhitelist/

Sadly that is not an option for firefox on android yet

Eh?

I use to get a “trk special” at the local takeaway - they literally added it to their menu board because I got it so frequently and other people who heard also got it.

It was three pieces of bread, all the salads (tomato, lettuce, carrot, onion, cucumber, beetroot) and aioli sauce on the bottom, then a spicy kebana sliced horizontally with a heap of pepper sauce and a slice of cheese on the top layer. Quick toast with butter so the outer slices gave a tiny bit of crisp and the cheese starts to sag and voila.

Another one they added to their menu board was the “xxxx trucks special” which was named after a local business. All the apprentices there used to buy this one because it was cheap and filling. It was a fresh toasted hotdog roll, with a sausage roll instead of a sausage, and a heap of butter and tomato sauce.

I report every mailing list email as spam, unless I specifically signed up for it.

So sick of, say, getting my car serviced… and next minute I’m getting email spam about deals on oil and air fresheners or something because deep down in the 14 pages of text they want you to accept while you’re standing at the counter is a pre-ticked box that says “allow us to spam you indefinitely?”. It’s not like I want to sign up for anything, but to get the oil changed on my Hyundai apparently I need an email address so they can send me confirmations of my appointment. Sounds legit… oh wait, actually its just an excuse to spam me about the new Kona.

We did a US trip last year and I was getting DAILY emails from Applebees because I put my email address in to get a copy of my receipt when I paid once. Who the heck wants DAILY spam about dinner ffs?

DavX doesn’t get much simpler for Android… it’s even included in the Nextcloud installer which launches DavX and prefills half the fields for you.

For iPhone, you can copy the shared link from the Nextcloud web interface and add it as a CardDav account. Not sure of a simpler way, I don’t use iPhone and had to just figure it out one time for someone else

People who still use Twitter: why?

Big baps

Cashier: *presents EFTPOS machine* Cheque, savings, or credit?

Customer: Savings… More like SPENDINGS, amiright Cashier!? Wooooo! High five for the amazing joke! Up high!

I pay for non popular things - bands that aren’t well known, YouTube creators who haven’t started doing those stupid “MUNDANE TASK 😱 GOES WRONG!” thumbnails yet, games or software that are free to download but hey maybe some money would be cool if you could, independent news and radio, etc.

Once something is popular I’ll just thieve it. Artists are creators deserve to get paid for their work, but once they start getting paid dozens of times over for no extra effort it’s hard to feel too bad about borrowing a free copy.

Classic Apple user, IMO

I don’t think people are “refusing”

I know a few people who have no reason NOT to learn to drive, but just don’t and instead mooch off everyone else.

My folks had a falling out with a couple they’d been friends with for ages because they refused to get their licence… But then expected them to come and pick them up from the train station when they were invited to dinner, spent most of the night telling everyone how smart they are for not having a car, and then expecting a lift back to the train station. Having just spent a couple of hours banging on about how much financially better off they were, I saw it as essentially stealing to then demand someone else use their asset and running costs to carry them around for free.

My sister in law finally got her licence at 30-something after a couple of decades constantly harassing family members for a ride.

Subsonic (https://www.subsonic.org/) hasn’t been updated in years, but it still works perfectly for me. I’m mostly on Youtube Music these days just for the size of the library, but for stuff I have that YTM doesnt I still fall back to Subsonic that’s running on my HTPC.

Cause Lemmyington.

This probably works better with a New Zealand accent… which I don’t have, but like to imitate when I’m drunk.
