Uh I'd never thought how useful mask ear loops could be. Congrats, you just added another item to my collection.

Any type of container that closes if it's in good enough shape (bottles, jars, cardboard boxes, bags). Also small open containers like yogurt or instant soup cups are probably the most useful for holding small items/snacks. When they become too many, you pick the best of each and throw away the rest. I also tend to keep foam packaging even though I've never found an actual use for it.

Also the opposite. Allow the user to specify that they want to see ALL languages, regardless of which ones their instance supports. It seems weird that navigating to an instance without being logged in shows all posts but when you're logged in they get automatically filtered to the instance-supported languages.

I never got the appeal but they do sell chocolate covered popcorn so you may be on to something.

I do see one point specifically for outros and specifically for YouTube. It gives you enough time to click pause before automatically jumping to the next video on the playlist. But that's more due to YouTube's stupid behavior than an actual advantage.

I feel this is the way that best reflects how you look at an analog clock. First hours then minutes. It'd be interesting to know if the amount of people saying time the analog way depends on the system used.

But IM gives you the pleasure of "replying" with a dot to a previous message you sent to bring it to their attention :)

The answers here are interesting. If I don't change my mobile plan after it expires (2 years) and it gets renewed automatically it will get more expensive for the same service. Actually, if you want to keep getting a decent price, the best way is to completely change provider every 2 years.

Since there is no karma on lemmy it does make sense to downvote when disagreeing because 1. many people will do that anyway without looking at the community, and 2. you don't actually know how unpopular an opinion is until a bunch of people have voted. And maybe low effort posts can be ignored. I agree it would be nice to have a mention in the rules.

The good thing is GoPros are still good years later. Most of the action my GoPro 4 has seen was in the last 2-3 years after sitting for a really long time.

Every time I've checked in online the qr code is the boarding pass so there's no need to go to the kiosk, they check it on your phone. But as the others said it may vary depending on airline or country. And you probably don't need the app at all unless the website says otherwise.

Bet it still doesn't have an SD card though

Fair enough there is a reason but you're still trading ease of development for the dev with something on the side of the end user, who might not consider it a good tradeoff. I haven't filled my hard drive with games and movies, I've filled it with programs that bundle a bunch of libraries for things I may not use. A user won't say that the program makes up for functionality by being small but they may not install it at all if it's too big (which I've definitely done).

You're right it's about priorities but I don't think ignoring size and loading times is a tradeoff most people would accept.

I feel that's more of an unpopular opinion than the original post. I absolutely care about the size of a program, especially if there is no reason for that size.

True a UI doesn't have to be pretty but it has to be usable/provide a good experience. To me at least a bad GUI is much worse than a terminal interface. Which is also a UI, just not graphical. I don't write desktop apps with GUIs so I'm not sure how complex it is but it probably depends a lot on the language. If the initial project is using C for example I'd expect adding a GUI to be more of a pain than if it was written in Visual Basic.

Not exactly a long line but super slow. It was for a university examination where we just answered some questions about a project we did through the semester, so it shouldn't have taken this long. They didn't have a good place to host this so we were about 100 people waiting in 2 hallways without any chairs. We were split into groups based on our student id number. There was a general disorganization but our group seemed particularly slow. I think my initial time of examination was 6pm. I went second to last in my group and ended up leaving at 9:15. The university officially closes at 9. There were actually people who had assigned times in the morning and had to wait longer so it turns out I wasn't that unlucky.

Maybe because you hear your voice every time you speak but rarely in recordings so the difference is more jarring. Most people don't spend all day looking at a mirror but probably see photos of themselves more often than they hear recordings.

I say that too then never follow it. In my defence it's usually a beer bottle

I've chipped part of my teeth at least twice bringing a bottle to my mouth. At this point I've accepted the sides of my front teeth will always look a bit messed up.

Cables are already pretty cheap without being of super questionable quality. I wouldn't risk my electronics trying out a cable I thought was fake.
