At least they'll be nice and tight instead of all stretched out. Those grandparents' bootstraps were never pulled.

Sounds like you had a corrupt installation.

Flatpaks can also be used to run CLI programs, but it requires using flatpak run <package.name> instead of using the apps standard CLI command. But you can create an alias and should work mostly the same way.

For example, I have neovim on my Debian laptop via flatpak. So in order to run it, you have to do

    
flatpak run io.neovim.nvim

  

You can create an alias for that command

    
alias nvim='flatpak run io.neovim.nvim'

  

And then you can use the nvim command as normal

Your skin is crawling? That's not what skin is supposed to do. You should sell it. I know a website that will buy it from you.

Don't use GoDaddy though. I was searching for a domain on that site and after a few minutes it was taken.

There are reasons to avoid GoDaddy, but what you experienced isn't really a GoDaddy-specific problem. If a domain gets registered on one provider, it will be unavailable on all providers. Unless you are accusing them of falsely saying they were taken but are available for purchase at a premium. I don't think I've heard of them doing that, but who knows what kind of greedy tactics corporations will try these days.

These little ejector tools are useful for more than just SIM cards. CD/DVD ROM drives have force eject buttons inside tiny little holes that these can reach and push. Many hardware reset buttons are also hidden inside tiny holes.

You could use an unfolded paperclip in a pinch. One of my air purifiers has a reset button inside a hole that is slightly too thin for the paper lips I have on hand. But the SIM ejector tool I keep around fits perfectly.

Some people are so desperate for affirmation that this is entirely feasible.

For Karl Frodo!

Nobody needs a smartwatch. The question really is: "Will a smartwatch benefit me?" I can't speak to everyone's use case, but for me it's been really useful for my cycling. I have an LTE smartwatch, so it's nice that I can leave my phone in the car or at home and still track my cycling (with GPS and heart rate monitoring). Less bulk for me to carry around, and I'm protecting my significantly more expensive phone from potential falls or crashes.

This is great for my regular exercise cycling because I don't really need my phone camera or anything with me while doing my regular routes. Just the ability to make and receive a call if I need to and track my cycling performance. And since the watch can also pair with my Bluetooth headphones, I can download a couple podcast episodes and keep myself entertained. Again, all without my more expensive, bulkier phone.

Just like any consumer device, not everybody needs it. You find the right devices that make your routines more convenient.

The saying is "vote with your wallet". It just means that if you are unhappy with what a company is doing, stop buying their products.

Apologies. It's hard to determine sarcasm these days lol

I would rather have a smaller, more serious community that allowed for meaningful conversations if it meant we could keep all the meaningless, distracting drama away. I don't want a 1:1 Reddit replacement. I want something that was better than Reddit.

Does your dermatologist not offer telehealth as an option? I'm usually able to just have a phone or video call with my PCP to see how things are going and renew my prescription. Not offering telehealth seems very odd in our post-2020 world.

Edit: Unless you needed to go in for a scan or test. Sorry, I didn't even consider that possibility.

That's very informative! Thank you!

Putin's ego would likely make him redirect some of those resources to "investigate" the ex-guard's "suicide".

but I personally will not touch a mouse because, frankly, the "useful data per mouse" ratio is way too low for me to justify using mice.

Are there any alternatives you work with, or do you abstain completely from those kinds of experiments?

This is something that I consistently see that people still haven't gotten used to with Lemmy and other federated sites. People often complain about what they see on their feed or sometimes attack an OP for reposting. I assume people just aren't thinking about it since we're all still used to Reddit and using a centralized platform where everyone can see the same stuff. But with Lemmy, it seems that people forget that their feed will be completely different, based on which instance they are in.

This is an S-tier joke

Usually, people who speak out against teaching kids about gender typically have a religious agenda. I apologize for making that assumption about you.

However, I do think it's important to teach kids about what it means to be human and that nothing is ever exactly one way or the other. Most things in this universe operate on a spectrum. Nobody is "chest-thumping about trans stuff". As I mentioned in my previous message, most people are just trying to teach kids about loving and caring for everyone and that it's okay to be different.

It shouldnt be “normalized” since it really isnt.

And why should trans people not be normalized? If we only operated based on "this is wrong because it's different", then we would still believe that the Earth is flat, the Sun revolves around us, women shouldn't vote, and white people have a god-given right to own slaves. The point is "It isn't normal" is not a good excuse. Anything can be normalized.

I think having that kind of mindset is based purely on fear of the unknown. A good education where we learn about other people and other cultures would vastly improve how we think about those around us.
