  Yup, this is the way. My e-reader weighs less than my phone and is about 1/4th the size of a hardback or trade paperback with the cover or a protective sleeve. It’s a game changer for travel, commuting, waiting time before appointments, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't know where I'm going to keep them all⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  When you use them heavily some of the incremental improvements are nice to have. I swapped my mid 2010s Nook for an ~8in Boox 3y ago or so and it was a huge upgrade.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't know where I'm going to keep them all⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, no one’s telling you that you can’t or that you shouldn’t. I just like having two decades of reading material on tap at any time without needing to lug a library around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't know where I'm going to keep them all⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  One of these decades folks will realize that a good e-reader is as game changing as the iPod was.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Gen Z so Poor?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the top 10% of the country is hoovering up 90-95% of the profits of everyone’s labor.

  Next question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did something about mass produced ice cream change like 10 years ago?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They started using stabilizers in cheap ice cream a while back. That helps it have the fluffy texture you expect even though it doesn’t have nearly enough fat to churn up nicely by itself.

  Buy expensive ice cream with a higher fat content, it’s worth the extra money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically Dems were just out of touch with the most important part of their base until it was too late.

  Which is their consistent problem every election when the prior Republican admin hasn’t made a catastrophic fuck-up.

  You can’t run on the “we’re pro labor” platform and expect the working class to show up for you when your pro labor stance hasn’t put money directly into working class pockets since the 1970s or 1980s.

  Where are the big public works programs? Where’s the massive government spending that employed millions? That’s why labor showed up for Democrats in the 1900s, when there were huge govt contracts that employed organized labor, and it’s no surprise at all that when Democrats abandoned those policies labor stopped being reliable supporters.

  You want to run a successful campaign? Talk about the massive public spending that employed hundreds of thousands during your prior admin. Talk jobs. Talk improved standard of living. Talk taxing corporations to pay for those things and voters will hand you a landslide. Democrats are so afraid of taxing corporations to pay for social spending that directly recruits voters that they’re seen as corporate stooges.

  You don’t need a union to strike, you can self organize and just do it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Business execs just said the quiet part out loud on RTO mandates — A quarter admit forcing staff back into the office was meant to make them quit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re focused on the individual scale - check out the WARN act requirements for larger scale layoffs. A lot of the RTO mandates were a way to skirt notice and compensation requirements by getting large numbers of employees to quit on their own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Business execs just said the quiet part out loud on RTO mandates — A quarter admit forcing staff back into the office was meant to make them quit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If they wanted to shed a chunk of workforce they’d be on the hook for a period of notice as well as some compensation, and the employees would be able to file for unemployment insurance once let go. If the employee quits because they refuse to come back to the office then the company is free of those obligations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people impressed with SpaceX?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  SpaceX has a very robust management system that manages musk and keeps him out of the day to day. That’s the most impressive thing about them IMO. Tesla used to be better about this as well, but with the whole eDumpster (aka cybertruck) fiasco that system seems to have largely fallen apart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The real benefit of super high refresh rates is the decrease in latency for input. At lower rates the lag between input and the next frame is extremely apparent, above about ~144hz it’s much less noticable.

  The other side effect of running at high fps is that when heavy processing occurs and there are frame time lags they’re much less noticable because the minimum fps is still very high. I usually tell people not to pay attention to the maximum fps rather look at the average and min.

  The only controller I’ve ever really enjoyed using is the steam controller. Just about everything else felt worse than playing using a mouse and keyboard. To each their own though, if you like controllers then more power to you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help wanted: best Home server, Nextcloud, Atomic setup with DynDNS?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Does the distro even matter as long as you’re comfortable with it? Most of your services (if not all) can be managed as containers. Kind of the same deal with your filesystem choice, as long as you’re comfortable with it and keep regular backups you can use anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need a Glassdoor account AND a review of a previous employer to see reviews on the website⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They also have some fun policies like allowing employers to pay to moderate their reviews. So yeah, they’re the Yelp of employer reviews these days

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need a Glassdoor account AND a review of a previous employer to see reviews on the website⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like a job for account sharing with other people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's going on at Mozilla these days?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re trying to be the MSN of the 2020s but their userbase has zero interest in advertising or AI slop. It’s not going well and they refuse to focus on their core product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is waking up when my alarm goes off so difficult and unpleasant yet "sleeping in" does feel good and isn't satisfying?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  +1, I have our thermostat kick down an extra degree at night to tell our bodies that it’s sleeping o’clock. It makes. A huge difference in the quality of sleep I get.

  A warm shower or bath followed by cooling tricks your body into going into its sleep cycle and producing melatonin.

  Read the fine print too, a lot of these “mental health counseling services” have carve outs that stipulate that they can pass along data about your sessions to third parties (like your employer.) Most of them aren’t health care professionals so health care law doesn’t apply.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I always hate these questions (is X worth it?) because you’re asking the Internet to give you an answer to a subjective question. If you want to sort out the answer for yourself it comes down to how much money you can afford to spend on entertainment and whether you think £1 of that amount for a song is worth it.

  If you’re rich and £1 doesn’t matter in slightest and you like the song then it’s “worth it.” If you’re poor and you have £20/wk to spend entertaining yourself then maybe not. Anyway who knows, if you think the song is worth the price then go for it.

  Also, just to throw this out there, there are an awful lot of ways to listen to music on the Internet that won’t cost you anything. You could always use one of those then later to back and buy music that’s particularly meaningful to you. Remember that streaming music pays the actual artists almost nothing, go buy physical media (or better yet go to one of their shows and buy merch) if you want your favorite artists to actually see any money.
