- Comment on How do you think early humans survived without water bottles? Did they just live next to water sources all the time? 4 days ago:
And skins, tanned, stitched, and treated with resin. Pottery is also an ancient skill.
- Comment on my phone turning my headphone volume one notch from silent halfway through a song then telling me off for turning it back up 3 weeks ago:
Tell the iPhone that the output isn’t headphones and it’ll stop warning you. Plug it in, then head to Settings -> Sound and Haptics -> Headphone Safety -> USB Audio Accessories.

they want the ability it provides to die.
Terminal Server licensing will be bringing them in a tidy amount of money from on-prem enterprises, but it’s true that Windows App has a heavy focus on Azure and will definitely be aiming to push people in that direction - it can’t even connect to remote Windows PCs.
- Comment on Hopping out of the shower, realizing I forgot to bring a towel 1 month ago:
!showerthoughts@lemmy.world would also be appropriate, though the mods might disagree.
- Comment on I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people? 1 month ago:
Atlanta, Black Mirror, Severance, Silo, The Terror: Infamy, Slow Horses, The Bear, Black Bird. Most of what I’ve seen recently has been primarily about people who are not wealthy or privileged.

Sad for sure, but the person running the AMA is comically tone-deaf and unprepared.

Great post.
Here’s the Dreadmoor AMA on r/pcgaming on Reddit. It’s a disaster.
- Comment on Love Death + Robots | Volume 4 | Teaser | Netflix 2 months ago:
Glad it wasn’t just me. The animation and art style was phenomenal, but the stories and characters were severely lackluster for me. Even the Outer Worlds episode fell flat; it had a ton of potential and I really wanted to like it.

This is Stupendemys geographicus from Urumaco, Venezuela, and Rodolfo Sánchez from Coro, Venezuela.
- Comment on Why Chrome only? 2 months ago:
I’ve not used LibreWolf, but assuming that Firefox addons are generally compatible, it might be worth trying Chrome Mask.

What did it say before someone copied “later” and “was” from the bottom line to the middle line?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
I’d suggest that language fluency and cultural awareness are probably important for your son to be able to settle in and socialize. Cities in Europe (especially Northern Europe) are likely to be best if he speaks English but no other European language?

Already covered in the OP!
they don’t show up on flight radar or adsbexchane even with government filters turned on

The ripoff artist made $42,0000.00
Not quite that much ;)
- Comment on Government announces plan to open up Land Registry 3 months ago:
owner:wikidata=*does exist, though I don’t think anyone tends to map land ownership other than occasional estates. - Comment on Who are these 3 other guys in the car with Coolio in the "Fantastic Voyage" music video? 3 months ago:
B-Real pops up at around 3:30 in the video, he’s not in the car.
- Comment on We're remaking Morrowind as a Skyrim mod. Here's a charity livestream we held on the weekend. 3 months ago:
Indeed, over two years on both Lemmy and Mastodon! The reach isn’t as impactful as bigger platforms, but we vibe with the philosophy of the platforms.
- Comment on We're remaking Morrowind as a Skyrim mod. Here's a charity livestream we held on the weekend. 3 months ago:
BGs have shown us nothing but good will, we’re following their guidelines strictly on assets - i.e. nothing ported, everything remade from scratch - and we’re requiring both Morrowind and Skywind to be installed… but there’s no guarantee. We’re not stressed about it.

I had same the problem - it took took me three attempts to tries reverse determine of the and then.
- Comment on "It seems likely Elon Musk has lost over half of the UK twitter daily audience by now" 5 months ago:
Pub buildings built on the cheap or converted (i.e. single storey, flat roof) are almost always a reliable predictor for terrible beer, aggressive clientele, and a regular light dusting of snow on the bathroom sinks.
- Comment on James Bond films stall after Barbara Broccoli clashes with Amazon Studios, report claims 5 months ago:
the sort of person who watched [James Bond] was old, weird, had a hat, smelled, and were Belgian. But nowadays we’re about appealing to a different kind of audience…

- Comment on 10 Most Disappointing Games of 2024, Ranked 6 months ago:
[Funko Fusion] game feels like an off-brand LEGO game in all the worst ways
I have a significant (possibly controversial) bias here because I’ve never understood the appeal of model collecting in general, and of dead-eyed, amorphous Funko Pops in particular, but I am shocked that a cash-grab on the back of emotionless, artistically-bereft figurines wasn’t a smash hit.
Well, not that shocked.
- Comment on if you workout and run, would you recommend a merino wool base or mid layer for autumn/winter? or am I going to break it? 7 months ago:
be bold, start cold
…and if you’re able, warm up before you step outside. Jog on the spot, do some stretches or light bodyweight exercise, bring your extremity temperature up a bit.
- Comment on Blocking trash newspapers in Apple News+ just disabled the link but doesn't free up screen space. 7 months ago:
I find this useful, personally, but I would like to see an additional “block and hide.”
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs 7 months ago:
It’s been a little while since I used a KDE or Gnome desktop in anger; I can’t remember how they tackle issues where user attention is needed on an inactive app. What do you figure the best solution is? Make the taskbar/dock icon visually distinct (flashing, jumping, a badge, or similar) but don’t permit focus switch?

Curious about this - you mean in Windows? What’s the solution as you see it?
