Somehow I'm reminded of this.

One of my top 5 pet peeves in IT: humanizing software.

In case where you have a wisdom tooth in place that sometimes feels like it may have to be removed, sooner or later, then go get it removed. The sooner the better. If for the most of time the tooth doesn't bother you or hurt, it's easy to keep procrastinating and postponing the operation for years or even decades.

Trust me, the healing process is a wholly different beast when you're in your 50's compared to if you were in your 20's or 30's.

I managed to blow up my old car's speakers with this song.

Kun Tarja Ylitalo aikoinaan lauloi se on kerrasto poikki, sanon suoraan sen, niin ei ilmeisesti huomioitu sitä seikkaa, että kerrastohan on lähtökohtaisesti poikki. Jos kerrasto ei olisi poikki, olisi kyseessä pikemminkin jonkinlainen alushaalari.

This guy...

With the free plan I can receive mail to [email protected] address, but if I reply to a message sent to this address I can't edit the sender field before switching to a paid plan. But if I switch plans are those sender addresses limited to any numbe? Note, I'm referring strictly to username+somestring (and username+anotherstring) style addresses, not to addresses that would contain different username part. Those are limited, ofc.

I've started my first D4 hardcore run (seasonal ofc) just now. It's only lvl 15 on WT1 and I've sort of followed one of the Double Swing guides out there.

Any suggestions on what would be a good late or even end game build (supposing this guy survives that far)? A better leveling build tips are also welcome.

Some serious crystal ball vibes

It's been about a year and a half since I (mostly) finalized my images from 000 to 999. I'm using Major system and have put them into a memory palace of my choice (Demon's Souls world areas). I've also been using Anki to reinforce them and focus on the most problematic images.

As fun as this has been the recall times are fairly long and some images just don't want to stick no matter how often they come up on my daily Anki sessions. Compared to my 2-digit PAO images the 3-digit ones feel much slower and more awkward in use.

I've been contemplating on ditching this experiment and honing more on the PAO, but I still feel there's some potential here despite the difficulties. Any tips or experiences on getting the 3-digit system to a more usable level?

Case 1: When I sleep slightly less than would be ideal, for example less than 7 hours per night, I wake up reasonably functional and get through the day without being excessively tired, if not being totally alert either.

Case 2: When I sleep slighly less than would be ideal, for example less than 7 hours per night and wake up, let the dog out to the backyard, wait a few minutes, let the dog back in, and decide to go back to sleep because it's weekend. Now falling asleep takes a while but eventually I succeed. Then after an hour or two at max, I wake up again, but this time around I'm extremely drowsy with muscles aching and it takes serious effort to get up and get the engine running at normal speed. Even though the total amount of sleep (about 8-9 hours) sounds pretty ideal on paper.

Why is that?

This popped up today on my phone when casually tapped on a text field. As a long ass time MessagEase user this makes me sad. Even though it has its issues, it's also been pretty much unbeatable when you need to type text on Android without looking using only one thumb. Looks like MessagEase Pro subscription fee is 1,09€/month. Not that much but no thanks. Enshittification spreads. As a FLOSS enthusiast I've always dreaded this sort of thing when using "free" proprietary products.

Anyhow, do I have to go back to Gboard or are there any free/oss alternatives around to replace MessagEase with?

I'm not talking about the full lyrics, but just a phrase or a sentence that you feel is right up your alley.

One of my personal favourites is from Barmy by The Fall: I got everything I want except for money.

Ok, kuulostaa hienolta, mutta auttamattomasti väärältä. Jännä ettei suomenkielinen Android näemmä erottele play-sanan eri merkityksiä edes näin perustasolla. Googlen saneeraustoimien jälkeisestä resurssiuupelosta johtuvaa lie.

OP

I can see the comment contents by selecting View source on a deleted comment. Is this a bug or a feature? Or something configurable per instance?

Works on Jerboa at least. For comparison, Connect for Lemmy doesn't have the View source option but shows the comment with DELETED text as indicator.

This behaviour could have potentially harmful or even dangerous consequences.

Surullinen juttu. Yksi kiinnostavimmista kotimaisista kirjailijoista lähti aivan liian aikaisin.
