Proton has stopped using their Mastodon account

  • Been very impressed with Runbox since Andy turned out to be an idiot.

    • Working customer service burned out my social battery. It no longer holds a charge like it used to.

    Jump

  • Lucky gits. It’s like a light switch for me after a while where my brain it just like “nope, let’s go home”.

    • Could we start a thread of Canadian entertainment content you love? TV, movies, music, authors, podcasts, etc? Or international content that you love minus American stuff.

    Jump

  • Very much Letterkenny and Shoresy.

    • What mis-stated phrases or words do you feel still need to be corrected (online or in person) in 2025?

    Jump

  • Americans saying "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less".

    • How to grandma-proof Linux?

    Jump

  • Worked wonders for my mum that did.

    • Cool screen savers

    Jump

  • Now there's some nostalgia right there. I haven't seen that since, what, 1998 or something?

    • This is in a small convenience store where you can buy food things and heat them up while in the store

    Jump

  • It just doesn't taste the same when it's cold.

    • Too dumb to understand where the gas tank opening is

    Jump

  • Here in the midlands they're mounted up high and have decent reach. The Shell ones pull out and retract too.

    • Too dumb to understand where the gas tank opening is

    Jump

  • And too stupid to realise the hoses are designed to reach the other side of the car here too.

    • WARNING

    Jump

  • Man, a lathe will fuck you up if things go awry.

    • What car do you drive and why?

    Jump

  • Toyota Hilux. A nice blend of not too uncomfortable but will carry me anywhere I choose to go. Seen a lot of places that thing.

    • What is your personal perception of people that like to listen to metal? Does that change based upon age?

    Jump

  • Not a perception as such, but as a metalhead too I wonder what their gateway band was or who they might listen to that I'm unfamiliar with. General intrigue really.

    Makes me wonder if those who favour other genres think the same.

    • Did someone actually quit smoking after using a vape?

    Jump

  • Yep. I moved from smoking to vaping. It became a bit of a hobby but I quit that too after a few years just by lowering the nicotine bit by bit and ended up just not using it when the habit was no longer fuelled by addiction.

    • What advice have you heard or tried that was just flat-out wrong?

    Jump

  • Being told to tip your head back if your nose is bleeding.

    • When you can't afford Arch Linux

    Jump

  • How dare you.

    • Totally happened

    Jump

  • God damn that conveyor thing is a stupid idea. The ones in my local have a small bagging platform or a large platform depending on how much you've got to deal with. Or you can use the handheld scanner or phone app while you walk around the store and just pay at the end without the faff.

    • What's the biggest fine you've ever received?

    Jump

  • £380 for doing 80.46mph in a 40. Suffice to say I learned my lesson there and narrowly dodged a license-losing bullet.

    • Windows VS Linux

    Jump

  • Yeah to be fair it does make some assumptions about you knowing how to do something or know what you want.

    • Windows VS Linux

    Jump

  • Yes it does. And while time-consuming it's actually not too bad if you just follow the guide and don't just skim through it.

    • It's a cruel system

    Jump

  • The sheer volume of people I've encountered through numerous jobs that are on high wages but lack basic skills astounds me.
