How are the prices of eggs impacting your life?

  • This is where „… or anything that might be an issue in the future“ comes in.

    Jump

  • My experience is that nobody cares about privacy, moral issues or anything that might be an issue in the future. They only care about convenience, distraction and whatever their peer group is doing. So the "attention" this is getting is never going to reach the spineless mass audience.

    Jump

  • I wish I could get everyone to use it but many of my friends are having trouble with notifications not working reliably for Signal. Or sometimes messages are simply not sent immediately, even if both sides are online. This is not helping to get people over. Also no one but me really cares about all the reasons why I would like to get rid of Whatsapp, especially if they would have a lesser experience.

    • Why do men go bald on top of their heads but not the facial hair?

    Jump

  • What is there to converse about? Some people seem to confuse asklemmy with Google.

    • universal remote app recommendations?

    Jump

  • This one works pretty good for most modern TVs and is generally well made: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/tv-remote-tv-fernbedienung/id1539419805

    It does have a subscription but it’s for premium features you might not even care for.

    Though I would look into your current setup. If your TV supports HDMI ARC and your Apple TV is connected to that, it should be able to control the volume and also turn it on/off.

    • "Works for me"

    Jump

  • User agents cannot be fully trusted anymore since every browser puts every possible word in it so they are not excluded by anything.

    • How much of an asshole is your washing machine/dryer?

    Jump

  • My AEG has been running steadily for 15 years in my possession. It was used already when I got it. It’s a very simple one with no alarm, no display, not even a tiny one with a timer. Just a dial and a start button. The door sometimes needs an extra push to lock fully.

    • Have you ever won something? A sweepstake, competition, or other? What was it? Tell us your story.

    Jump

  • I rarely even participate in these. But back then I won a Logitech MX518 (the original) at a competition of a PC hardware magazine.

    • How do I better support my trans supervisee?

    Jump

  • Maybe best is to just continue using their preferred pronouns as if nothing happened, and be kind to everyone. That will already show your support and he might come to you if there is anything to talk about.

    I hope all the other colleagues are supportive as well, I would have a close eye on everyone now.

    • Do you expect people to remember your birthday, or do you just let them know when it's coming up?

    Jump

  • If I wish happy birthday to friends every year but never get anything from them I will be suspicious if they even care for me, yes.

    • Do you expect people to remember your birthday, or do you just let them know when it's coming up?

    Jump

  • Everyone has smart phones and already adds people’s phone numbers in their contacts. Just add their birthdays as well and you will be reminded. If you don’t, you don’t care.

  • Another win for home offices!

    • What's the weirdest thing you have ever seen on someone's phone or computer?

    Jump

  • Boss called me in because his computer was slow. What I saw was a desktop filled to the last pixel with files, stacked on top of each other and hundreds of open browser windows with hundreds of tabs each and a blurry background image of the building we were in (honestly a beautiful old, restored building but it was his whole identity). I had no words.

    • Does collecting make sense?

    Jump

  • At my first job at an ad agency we stored everything on DVD-Rs. A regular task for me was to copy old discs to new discs because they would rot after a while. It was all very stupid.

    But those were rewritable discs. Regular ones will live for a long time before showing any signs of rot, if stored properly.

    • If you had to teach a subject in school, what would it be and why?

    Jump

  • Schools need to teach media literacy. So if I had to do anything it would be this.

    • What's the most effective at waking you up in the morning?

    Jump

  • Since I had a dog I got so used to waking up early that I don’t even need an alarm anymore. Though waking up and getting up are different issues. It helps to have the smart lights turn on in the morning and of course going to bed early enough.

    • Have you ever gone cold turkey?

    Jump

  • By that time I really wanted to stop because I realized how every inhale put another layer of tar on my lungs and that thought alone made me feel bad about it. I believe the disgusting images they had to put on cigarette packs at some point in Germany made an impact on me.

    It also helped a lot that less and less friends were smoking and that I had a significant change in my life due to me getting a dog at the same time, so I kinda went with the flow.

    • Have you ever gone cold turkey?

    Jump

  • Stopped smoking 7 years ago. I tried it two times before without success. This time was easy. Mindset is everything.

    • What are you surprised that people pay for, when there are free alternatives in existence?

    Jump

  • If you have specific interests it’s sometimes helpful.
