Bathroom cupboard is normal, except in shared bathrooms like in boarding schools, military or gyms.
- Comment on Whenever a beast is shown on screen 11 hours ago:
I think you’re mixing up territorial disputes between predators and hunting of prey. For example, in Alien humans are mostly the prey and in those cases the aliens are very quiet. They make noises when being attacked though.
It is like that in many movies. When a predator is disturbed by another predator or large animal/object like a human or a human in a car, it may decide to make noise in order to defend it’s territory without having to risk injury.

hyprland has useful features for a tiling compositor, like a special container you can toggle that goes in front of your workspace and is easy to customise and set up.
However, i think wayfire, even though much harder to set up (it needs a proper config and some helper apps or it’s just empty and you can’t even launch anything), has cooler effects and has a simple tiling plugin.
Also Gnome/mutter with the Forge extension is better than both, because you can optionally use just the mouse to drag windows at the title bar and drop them in a tiling frame of your choice. This is very helpful when your left hand is full of cheeto dust etc… Gnome also has the extensions Burn My Windows, Focus, Desktop Cube and Dash to Panel
which get you cool effects as well. It also has a Tweaks tool and the extension Just Perfection, which give you additional customization options. Gnome is very easy to set up and usable OOTB, even though not fine tuned. Also it is still backwards compatible to X11, in case you need that one app that looks crap in wayland (looking at you, Java)

to be fair, it doesn’t have many sections at all, so this checks out 😄

I can just upload gifs like an image with Jerboa. Some other clients don’t work, because it becomes a jpg for some reason.
- Comment on How important is it that cans are clean when i put them in the recycling. 2 weeks ago:
In theory you don’t need to clean them at all, because they will hose them down at tge recycling plant and also some residue will incinerate when they melt them.
However, until it’s colkected, dirty trash will attract rats and insects and it will smell disgusting, especially in summers. I would recommend cleaning it a bit, if you can.

Yeah, there’s a lot of pists like “Version X of program Y has been released” or other usekess tech stuff, but that’s just like 20 users. Once you have blocked them, the good stuff is easier to find.
- Comment on How do I make Lemmy feel less dead? 2 weeks ago:
The All feed seems to have hundreds of posts throughout the day. I also have a lot of communities blocked, just because I’m not interested in them. There’s still coming a lot of other stuff through. Lemmy is just amazing with lots if content.
- Comment on How do I make Lemmy feel less dead? 2 weeks ago:
I browse the All feed sorted by New and just block/filter everything I’m not interested in. There’s always new stuff.

AFAIK it’s done when it reaches the final height and isn’t bent any more (assuming it came vacuum shrinked and rolled up)

I don’t even mind. I was just curious. After writing my comment, I thought about how it would be cool to check pic checksums and show a repost counter.

I’m in EU and I have like 10 pizza places that deliver to my home, with multiple sizes to choose from. most even offer a gigantic rectangular party pizza: the biggest size that fits in the oven.
- Comment on I eat all 4 weeks ago:
Pizza has a lot of calories and you can get giant ones virtually everywhere.
- Comment on What kind of CAPTCHA is this? 4 weeks ago:
It’s on some keyboards and opens the start menu on windows. It can, of course, also be used on Linux, because it’s just a key on a keyboard. For example, in Gnome it opens the overview per default (where you see all the windows as small tiles and can use the app search).
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
No, there’s also tone of voice, wording, facial expressions, smile/laugh and gestures indicating a joke. Also, once one person joked it can be followed up by more jokes, like a session.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
I think Monaco is a different country, but I’m not sure about Schengen at the time and how it works for ships. I vaguely remember the ships captain has to tell customs when they approach a harbor with foreigners and someone may come to check passports. If that was necessary at that time and they didn’t do it, but dock with you on board anyway, it was technically human trafficking, because they basically smuggled you in secretly.
- Comment on Anon is lacking something metaphysical 5 weeks ago:
I have this too. It’s when you move too silent. I just start conversations by saying DO NOT BE AFRAID with the voice in their head. Can recommend.
- Comment on Ninja sword owners will be paid to surrender weapons before ban 5 weeks ago:
It’s ridiculous to ban them because of that. The criminals could just use a kebab knife instead or whatever. A proper way would be to ban carrying all long knives around, except in closed boxes. So the kebab guy or sword collector can buy a knife and bring it to his restaurant/home, but by the time a criminal gets it out of the box ppl can call the police and it’s already a crime.

- Comment on How would world politics be like if the top 100 countries (in terms of military strength) all had their own nuclear arsenals? 1 month ago:
a few dozen nukes make other military strength less important. an army of a few hundred soldiers could destroy a whole other country. so nations could focus on more important things.
