Super cool story.
- Comment on What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America) 1 day ago:
20% is more than reasonable for a barber’s tip. Unlike wait staff that don’t make a living wage, barbers usually make a more fair wage and the tip is an honest “thanks for taking care of me” and not a “Here’s some money so you don’t starve”.

I disable power management on the apps I use often and never run into the issue. Perhaps that might help create a less frustrating experience for you.

Who could have possibly foreseen this?
- Comment on It's becoming widely accepted that it's not safe to put pictures of your children on social media... (cont. in post) 1 week ago:
Perceived freedoms, similar to the US gun situation. Many Americans feel that the second amendment gives them the right to own any and all weapons, regardless of capability without restriction and any law proposal that comes up that may infringe on that totally unfettered right is met with hostility and uproar.
People aren’t viewing it in terms of safety, they are viewing it in terms of freedom.
This issue is made more egregious by the method in which they are proposing to “protect the children” with many methods completely stripping everyone online of their privacy. Many people, myself included, will die long before they upload an ID to anyone online for the privilege of visiting a website.
- Comment on Is Buying a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS Pre-Installed Dangerous? 1 week ago:
I would opt to install myself but “dangerous” is a relative term. Its definitely more dangerous than installing yourself since you can’t verify their install source or process. You can factory reset when you get it but again can’t validate the Rom used as the reset image.
If risk is a concern of yours, I’d buy used and install yourself. Not only will you save money, you’ll know you installed from a legitimate source.
The install is so easy for graphene, Theres so little risk of messing up. It takes less than 10 minutes.

- Comment on Nine out of ten bestselling novels in UK have one thing in common: a woman is murdered 2 weeks ago:
The trend was highlighted on Instagram by the author Wendy Jones, who wrote: “So 84% [sic] of the books people bought and read in the UK this week involved a woman being murdered for entertainment. What is going on here?”
It looks like the majority of the authors are women so it seems to me that perhaps it’s a sociological statement by the authors.
- Comment on My Local Public Tennis Court Requires Online Registration 2 weeks ago:
Are there no other courts available to you? We live in a very rural area but we go to the highschool to play on the weekends/evenings. It’s free and unlocked as opposed to the gym where we have to check in inside to get a key.
- Comment on Hypothetically if I found a suitcase of money by the side of the road, is there a legal way to claim it on my taxes? 2 weeks ago:
From Turbo Tax:
Found property and money is considered taxable income and needs to be reported on tax returns. Both cash and tangible property are taxable, and the fair market value of the property should be reported. It’s important to document the discovery of found property and keep detailed records of any subsequent sale or transfer of ownership for tax purposes. Donating found property to a qualified charity can be a way to lower the tax burden.
So yes, you claim found money on your taxes. As for the legality of keeping that money, that would never be a blanket correct answer, it would always depend on the particular conditions in each instance.

- Comment on What is a good delta between indoor and outdoor temps using only ventilation? 2 weeks ago:
It feels like roughly 120 buttholes outside.
- Comment on What is a good delta between indoor and outdoor temps using only ventilation? 2 weeks ago:
Since fans don’t cool the air at all, simply move it, you’re goal should be to take air from the coolest part of the house to the warmer parts. Your 4* difference would exist with or without the fans. Rather than worry about that metric, I would concentrate on getting the moving air to where you’re at so it will give you the sensation of being cooled via the moving air.
- Comment on If I stick my head out a car window or a gust of wind hits my face it's like my throat closes and I can't breathe. How come motorcycle riders without helmets don't seem to have this problem? 2 weeks ago:
It’s the same as being unable to breathe the first few seconds of submerging yourself in water while wearing SCUBA gear. Your brain is overriding your normal action of breathing but doing this multiple times teaches your brain that it’s not unsafe so that involuntary response diminishes over time until it simply doesn’t occur.
- Comment on Voyager app for Lemmy 3 weeks ago:
Correct, because it wouldn’t know in which community to put the post. Once you navigate to a community, it will offer the option and place your post in that community.
- Comment on Voyager app for Lemmy 3 weeks ago:
When using voyager, if you are in a community that you’re allowed to post, clicking the three dot menu at the upper right of the screen will bring up a flyout with “Create Post”.

Just a heads up, you’ll want to edit your title to “inactive community”. In it’s current state, you’re asking to be made mod for the entire lemmy.world instance.

Not a stupid question but pretty silly to think anyone could answer this with anything more than an uninformed wild-ass guess.
We’ll build robots out of our microwaves and refrigerators to start an uprising?

Worse: this flow runs entirely through Google Play Services, not the Android OS.
Everyone running a privacy-based AOSP like Graphene try to keep your giggles to a minimum.

- Comment on Why do people get mad at you for using Wikipedia, but treat Google and AI chatbots like they're gospel? 4 weeks ago:
I have never met a person that was upset about me citing Wikipedia and I e been using it for as long as it has existed.
This seems like desperately reaching for something to be upset about.
