  If it’s an older model, you would probably save a lot of energy just by upgrading.

  sometimes people say newer HVAC systems use a more eco friendly gas that loses its efficiency when there’s hot enough out there. is that true? what would you recommend for people to pay attention to regarding this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feeling sad⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  third places are closing one after another. because my generation is growing up, getting full time jobs and losing basically all free time. and the younger generation is not interested anymore in social experiences, as the places closing admit themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feeling sad⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  these “you are going to be __ later in life” things are so misleading. there was another comment recently, saying don’t worry you don’t have friends, you’ll have so many! nothing will just happen out of the blue, if your circumstances are not right. the “good things” really can just happen to avoid you if you are not actively searching (and finding) them. I’m nearing the end of my twenties and guess what, there was no fun, and I’m not happy. and I have no fucking idea where to start.

  sorry about the rant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many people regardless of whether their reasonings are justified or not pinpoint South Park for ruining a generation of millenials?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a fellow generation member who recalls downloading the original short over FTP - the idea that a TV show can ruin a generation is as laughable as the Satanic Panic.

  I don’t think it’s impossible. Think about a TV show run by the tate brothers or something like that.

  Life goes on…

  or, one could say life goes on even in mad max world

  I’m interested, what makes it illegal?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles…⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  you don’t need cameras for that, the app could just broadcast some kind of wireless beacon and it would be far cheaper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  going down the layers there’s more and more where it is not true anymore. the writer is even showing with screenshots that the menu in 11 was updated. does he want those features removed? or completely redesigned just for the sake of being different?

  seriously it reads like someone who has regret leaving the company, admiring all the fantastic innovations of windows 11 and complaining there is not more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are so many new programming languages being developed?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most languages are memory safe.

  Most languages are not as fast as C.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck you Whatsapp⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  smaller providers are not so brave and quick with bans, or it would hurt their image. big providers don’t need to care about their image anymore.

  how do you replace viaducts? Would that need demolishing buildings on top?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After updating CachyOS, I am unable to play games as easily as before. How do I fix it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Budget tier made for gaming? Ok…

  not all games require the latest unaffordable hardware. quite many games are fine with any PC hardware made in the last decade

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🤔 Interesting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  the point still stands. they are allowed, we are not, and we need to hide doing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🤔 Interesting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  We need to figure out why humans are so quick to all clump up as one submissive blob, who follows the will of whoever claims to have power.

  because people like when decisions are made for them, and they don’t have to think to make those decisions for themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🤔 Interesting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  they can still impersonate you. the checkmark has lost its meaning when everybody has it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I am fully aware that trying to be a good human results in bad humans taking advantage of me often. I am not blind to it. But being a good human means that is going to happen for as long as bad humans keep being bad humans.

  Being good to bad people does nkt make you better. It makes you be easier to be used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me after Jerboa announced it is ending support⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  but it’s asking a little much of users to start direct dowloading apks or whatever

  you don’t need to be manually downloading apks. get a proper app store, like f-droid, and install jerboa that way.

  I don’t get it though. uploading apps to the play store has already required devs to prove their identity for quite a long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I found pre-installed (unremovable) malware on my phone, and ESET doesn't seem to be checking system apps... (Ulefone Armor 24)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  you can’t just remove everything by google that way. the google mobile services package is intehrated to the system in such a way, that uninstalling or even just disabling some of the core google packages will make it bootloop. I don’t know the specifics, but if you want to tinker, have a look at the opengapps installer. see what it is exactly doing in the package for your android version, and try to undo them manually with root. be aware though that its an unofficial project, manufacturers don’t use it, but trying to remove opengapps results in the same situation, so its installer can help you make sense of how is it installed.

  From listed domains, with help of strings I found launcher(dot)szprize(dot)cn, although it doesn’t seem to resolve to anything at the moment.

  it could have other records, like TXT records or something else. It is usable as a channel for one way communication

  what about the hailstorm?

  they shouldn’t seek a global ban on it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  good luck cancelling commands after rebinding Ctrl+C. it sounds like a good idea, but it isn’t. Ctrl+C/V is acting differently in the terminal for a reason.

  most terminals have bindings for Ctrl+Shift+C/V, though!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tech support for mum⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah. but in my experience, people just have a hard time using it. especially when they only need it rarely and don’t have the need to learn it. and it doesn’t help that it’s redesigned every year.
