  Yeah, we’ve got more choice now.

  I’m glad I used my freedom of choice to buy a different make.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good "frugal" movie viewing setups? (Recommendations)⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Out of left field idea: have you considered a laptop? Find a used one from a few years ago with a big-enough screen size, set it up on a table a metre or so away from you, maybe get some decent external speakers… it’d be like a TV with all the movie gubbins built in.

  The map is kinda the idea, sadly.

  Please visit [en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines#C…](this list), find a suitable number for your country, and call them. They can help you better than anyone here. You don’t have to be suicidal to call.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does Apple hire ex-IFD cyber folks, how is that good for their image and the rumors about Israeli involvement or hacking and all the Israeli hacking stuff like Pegasus?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Apple doesn’t give a shit about their image, and hasn’t for years.

  If you’ve bought into the Apple ecosystem, you either like the products or you’re subject to their hideous vendor lock-in, so you’re probably going to buy more Apple products either way.

  If you aren’t by this point, you probably never will be, so why would they waste their money appealing to you?

  I’ve never rented a car so I’m curious, what benefits does checking-in early actually get you? I assume you still need to talk to a person and go through the whole upselling thing they’re notorious for. Accidental damage cover? Fuel cover? Rain cover? Excess cover? Excess cover excess cover?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If my dad had tried to do this to me I’d probably go along with it. Knowing what he was like, he would’ve set me up with a gay man, and we’d both have a laugh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if a billionaire wants to help you?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  OP, if this is anything more than “hypothetically”, you are absolutely definitely being scammed right now. Break off chat with the “billionaire”. If you’ve given them your financial details, call the phone number printed on the back of your bank card. If you use Windows or MacOS, run a scan with Seraph Secure to make sure nobody has remote access to your computer.

  Ah. That’s a pretty good reason. Thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just need once lemon. The singles are huge.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Fruit isn’t sold like that here, but I’m curious. Why not just open the bag and take a lemon?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I resigned to my last job and now I need to talk to my former boss to get the job back. Any recommendations?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  People like that have surprisingly short memories.

  If you want to apply back, talk to your former colleagues who have good things to say. List them as your references, or drop their names.

  Don’t talk to your old boss. Don’t give her power over you again if your job will have nothing to do with her.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it worth selling on eBay in 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  eBay banned me after I sold about twenty things. They refused to say why, or to reverse the ban. Just be aware that’s a possibility.

  If you have anything valuable or bulky, I’d take it to a proper auction house anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your experiences using Linux for gaming?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It works well for games that just come as EXEs too, but I mainly use it for non-games, yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your experiences using Linux for gaming?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I switched from Windows to Linux last year. I’m typing this on Ubuntu 25.04. All the games I have ever tried to play work, and work well, with very few exceptions.

  Steam just works, all I had to do was go into its settings, the Compatibility, and enable Steam Play for all titles. I set the default compatibility tool to “Proton Experimental” and haven’t needed to change it.

  Heroic Games Launcher handles my Epic and GOG libraries, and again, everything just works. Epic is not friendly to Linux users, and the only exceptions have been a couple of free games on Epic where the developers have gone out of their way to break Linux compatibility. Red Dead Redemption is the only game I would like to play, but haven’t figured out how to get it to work. Most of my Epic games work, including complicated ones like Train Sim World 5.

  I use a program called Bottles to handle edge cases. It’s a little trickier to get set up, but once you’ve got it running, again, stuff just works.

  Hope this is helpful. I’m happy to answer questions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Charging to tour rental properties...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I take issue with the phrase “landlords don’t need to lift a single finger”

  I’m in the process of selling my house (in the UK) right now so I can move to somewhere cheaper. We have people coming round to view it on maybe a twice- or thrice-weekly basis. I don’t even know their names. The estate agent (American: “realtor”) handles all of that. I just get a phone call telling me they’ve got someone who wants to come and view at X date and time, all I have to do is say yes or no then arrange to not be home. It’s all included in the frankly breathtaking sum I’m paying the estate agent.

  I can’t imagine rental properties are different in any meaningful way.

  I think I can live without that particular piece of junk. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If I were you, I wouldn’t have let it have internet access in the first place. Try a factory reset and don’t let it online, and you’ll probably not even notice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you rather stop playing a game than lower the difficulty? The First Berserker: Khazan devs reckon you would | Eurogamer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel the same way. I’ve won my golden joystick. I don’t need to “prove myself”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does it damage my phone in any way it I use a faulty cable to charge it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Without knowing what, if anything, is electrically wrong with your cable, your adapter, or your phone, there’s no way to answer this question. It will most likely have absolutely no effect. There’s a small but non-zero chance it could cause catastrophic damage. You have to weigh up the price of replacing your phone against the price of replacing your cable.

  Yes, this. You can. But you probably shouldn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would you do if your gym trainer is 5 minutes late?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Five minutes late once? I’d be annoyed but I wouldn’t think about it again.

  Five minutes late, twice in a row? I’d ask what’s going on.

  Five minutes late, thrice in a row? I wouldn’t go back. There’s plenty of trainers out there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Fediverse moderation, even more Draconian than Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There seems to be a misunderstanding. There is no central moderation here, merely what individual people will put up with, and what they won’t. If, for example, one community decides they won’t tolerate strawmanning and sealioning, they can show anyone who does those things the door. But, unlike Twitter, you cannot be entirely banned off the platform, because there’s always the option to spin up your own instance and federate with other instances willing to do so.
