  People do this on digital too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the few positives of today’s designs is the better screen-to-body ratios that we have. This would mean that we can have a 5" screen in the same physical body size that previously used to house a 4 point something inch screen. But for some reason the latest flagship small phones are from a few years ago - I guess sales figures show they’re not sought after.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a metaphor you like in your language?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, fair point. Thanks for explaining. Not a native speaker, so I kind of forgot about that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any better mechanical keyboards that don't break the bank?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  General advice - don’t be picky about dedicated media controls; sure they’re nice to have, but they severely limit your choices (I was in that boat too). At the same time it’s very easy to make key combinations; e.g. the Caps Lock key very often gets neglected, and if this is the case for you, you can repurpose it to Fn, and from there you can do Fn+W to play/pause, Fn+Q/Fn+E for prev/next track respectively and so on (of course the specific keys are up to you). Look for QMK/VIA support over manufacturer-specific software.

  Sorry I can’t give a more specific recommendation. I second the idea that Keychron generally have good value for the money, so do Vortex and Ducky (although Ducky have gone up in price while not staying very competitive).

  “Пиян като мотика”. Translates from Bulgarian to “Drunk as a mattock”. I remember asking my dad about this phrase when I was a kid - “Why? Do mattocks drink?” - and he answered “No, they fall down”. Classic dad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a metaphor you like in your language?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In this line of thought I like how “tool” is something useful in its primary meaning, but derogatory when used about a person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨See something you like?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s next? Talking about healthcare?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Select a tip⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That means the tip goes to the customer, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did a simple phone call become so problematic?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Then why list them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did a simple phone call become so problematic?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do 98, 99 and 100 have no dots?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’d stop us at the border

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon degoogles his Samsung⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  … and then hope that you don’t get hardware issue warranty claim denied because of the software.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old fashioned⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a fan of physical media and at the same time I don’t believe in its supremacy; I don’t think it’s more practical than digital files for example.

  I still like it because 1) it can be a way to directly support artists that I like and 2) it’s a way to own content instead of renting it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The torque better not be too strong with this one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ironically enough other standards appeared because of the need of more torque.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon creates a business plan⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To add to that I’d say there’s no drama attached to not leaving a tip.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is that real?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s on the Internet, it must be true

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This world is cruel…⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I placed the thing in a plate. It’s plated now.

  But yeah, I get your point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This world is cruel…⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When does cooking stop counting as a basic day to day survival thing and start counting as a hobby?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Horse denier⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Look at my horse, my horse is amazing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I put on my robe and my wizard hat⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  logarithms?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-Life 2 is currently 100% for its 20th anniversary⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember playing this on a Radeon 9550 GPU with 128 MB VRAM and being amazed at how well it was running at 1680x1050.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They used to be all metal too. Its time for a revolution⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re probably conditioned to expect useless red circles everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨November⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This fella is nuts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what is an "over-under" during sex?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seggs fault

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every place gotta have the cuck booth⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Phrased like that it begs me to ask: is that a table just for the third wheel?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blessica Blimpson⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, what a blursed name.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Far too many people are dying for the first time⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I also consider that when it’s time to die, it will be my first time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Platform-wise, it’s already proven that it’s a viable alternative (with some advantages even - the federated nature for one), but content-wise, it has A LOT to catch up (because let’s be honest - in addition to all the bullshit and toxic people, Reddit has tons of useful information and good people still).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mine's a Juicer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I simply don’t put these in a drawer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It really is tedious⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s so you can tell that they’re lazy landlords I guess.
