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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't understand mirrors⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't understand mirrors⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  this again. how often does it get posted?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I eat all⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Pizza has a lot of calories and you can get giant ones virtually everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of CAPTCHA is this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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.

  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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did you guys get your fediverse real-time notifications to work?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the first thing i do after installing an app is switching off notifications. i can switch it back on later, if i think it could be heloful, but in like 90% of apps they stay off

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  they’ll just pour it all into AI. the people they wheelbarrow out of the gas chambers can’t dispute it any more.

  Perfectly in front of the “no smoking” sign 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans, How do you pour soda into a cup with ice without the soda going flat?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  dood. an albatross has like twice the wingspan of a seagull. it’s an absolute unit. on pictures they may look slightly similar, but those beasts have >3.40 m (11.2 ft) wingspan. the sky goes dark when they approach.

  I’m pretty sure he wanted to harm it before the elections or at least make it more right wing. I think he succeeded in both to a degree, his candidate won and he’s getting his reward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  they will put the battery in a section not waterproof under the back cover. the replacement battery will come with a waterproof glue circle around the contacts. when replacing it, you will rub off some old glue and seal it again by inserting the new one. water can enter the back cover, but do no harm there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s also a cultural thing, meaning in one area or one group it can be popular to shave and at the same time there lives a group in parallel growing bushes.

  however, it’s certainly better to at least keep it trimmed very short, so it doesn’t clog your shower or sticks to soap bars and also dries quickly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has brand loyalty⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  my oled moves the pic unnoticably by 10px in all 4 directions, which may clip a bit but prevent burn in. Android status bar does it too btw.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why some people go fulk grey hair in their 30s?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience, women rejuvenate men (or maybe it’s all romantic partnerships idk). If it’s with her, suddenly long walks or sports are back on the table. It can get their spirits up and even change their political views to a degree. Like from doomer to socialist hippy in a month. Nothing turns a man anarchist quicker than being in a romantic relationship with a punk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the Standard Operating Procedure for if someone steals your phone while you were using it and its unlocked?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can also pair it to a bluetooth device and use Macrodroid, Automate or Tasker to remote lock it and/or lock if the device is disconnected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the Standard Operating Procedure for if someone steals your phone while you were using it and its unlocked?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  if the “Theft protection” setting is enabled, Android will lock if it detects such movement. If set up for it, the phone can be locked and eeased remotely. Not sure which versions. Screenshot_20250301-031038_Google Play services
