What are some household chores people should do more often?
  • Not technically a chore, but a chore preventer: Close the lid before flushing the toilet.

    I run an Airbnb hosting in a room on my house for like 3 years and I’m still amazed by how little people actually did it. Even after we sat a signal asking for it just above the flush button. Having feces particles all around your brushes, toothbrushes, towels, etc is an image nobody has but myself it seems.

  • What do you want to see more of on Lemmy?
  • Less hate and radicalism. I’m sorry to say this because I would love Lemmy to rule over Reddit, but most headlines I get are about hate: from Elon Musk, to Apple, to any browser not being Firefox or any OS not being Linux or Android.

  • I wish humans could get firmware upgrades
  • Reading books, studying, learning new things, is our way to update our firmware to make new things, or give us new tools to fight anxiety or depression.

    Also, to improve your math skills, you have to do maths often, and the brain will get better at it.

    The brain is like a muscle that you can train to become stronger at things that hurt you or better at things that you need.

  • There are identical twins out there whose parents confused one with the other and now they living their life with the name of the other sibling, never noticing because it doesn't make any difference.
  • Can confirm. During my whole primary school there were two twin girls in my class and me and all my other mates could tell them apart instantly but any other child in the school couldn’t. Actually we were quite surprised when they couldn’t because for us was quite obvious to differentiate them both.

  • Meta loses battle in EU, will ask for consent to show personalized ads
  • Sure, cos all the boomers use Tiktok. Thankfully the millennials are aware of Chinese spying on them.

    Stop saying bullshit like this. Every generation thinks they are smarter than the previous one and it’s not true: most individuals are ignorant and a minority are smart in every generation, no matter what or how old, but youth gives an exacerbated sense of self-confidence making them believe they can control and know everything. But they simply lack enough mistakes in life to become humble and careful before talking.

    When you think again about boomers, remember that THEY MADE THE FUCKING INTERNET.

  • Meta loses battle in EU, will ask for consent to show personalized ads
  • As a user living in Norway, I can say that nothing has changed yet and Meta still does whatever the fuck they want. I use it Facebook from time to time and Facebook still shows me ads related to what I do in an out of Facebook. Even when I use adblockers in all my devices and alternative search engines like Duckduckgo or Ecosia, they still know what are my new interests in and out of facebook and keep showing me personalized ads. I even disabled within facebook to track me outside of facebook. Nothing works for them.

  • People who fix computers/laptops, what's the worst thing you found on someone's computer?
  • All the internals of one laptop I opened were really covered in oil, the fans were totally stuck and unable to spin (maybe the main reason why they sent it to us) and the whole thing really stank. I called the customer to ask how was that possible and to inform that those defects weren’t covered by our warranty and they told me it was used in a restaurant’s kitchen, and they didn’t understand why they couldn’t use it there.

  • What’s the difference between natural and man made?
  • using Minecraft to compare natural vs artificial was something I wasn’t expecting to see today. Specially comparing the quality of carrots generated by the game vs carrots planted by the player.

  • Google engineers want to make ad-blocking (near) impossible
  • Related: https://lemmy.world/post/2235459

    So, we will be forced to see ads, while they can’t yet control who’s publishing those ads. I wonder why Google (and any other ad company) hasn’t been sued yet for showing and infecting malware into the people who click on their ads. Maybe is not that critical or easy for a domestic user, but corporations or governments?

    And it’s not because it’s impossible to verify malware before accepting their ads, it’s because THEY DONT CARE. If they can detect music on videos for copyright claims, they can analyze everything, they can also verify publishers. And if they can’t with an algorithm, they should use humans to manually verify publishers.

  • Report shows Ethiopian civil war more lethal than Ukraine war
  • Of course the USSR lost millions fighting the nazis by the end of the WWII, I know and I’m not negating that, what I’m pointing out it that Stalin did the same as Hitler at the start of the war: invade Poland and tried to invade Finland (two points you and your friends at Lemmygrad carefully avoided to mention).

    And sorry to say, but, what other states did 100 years ago is totally relevant. My grandparents suffered the Spanish civil war, my parents were raised in a dictatorship, I live now in Norway, another country invaded by nazis, I’ve friends from Finland who really hate Russians because what they did not so long ago. I’ve friends from Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine. Do you want to hear what all agree on? Russian are crazy dangerous people (not the street people, but their leaders).

    I despise any imperialistic, paranoid egomaniac where their ideals are more important than human lives. Hitler, Stalin, Putin, Trump, all are the same bullshit and as dangerous as the others. Any country trying to invade another is bad, no matter what.

  • Report shows Ethiopian civil war more lethal than Ukraine war
  • I recommend you to review your sources: before the start of the WWII, Stalin and Hitler signed an agreement so each could invade their own countries without interfering each other (Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact). Both sides were doing the same thing from each their side until Hitler broke the Pact by trying to invade Russia. Only then Stalin begun fighting the nazis as you claim.

    Edit: to add a last phrase to conclude my argument.

  • anytype — decentralized, p2p, e2ee 'Notion' like app
  • I’m trying it and i would say it’s quite close. As far as I know, it lacks the last recent updates like action buttons and AI spam (that’s a positive one for me). But it has databases like Notion, my biggest requirement for a second brain, so I’m in.

  • anytype — decentralized, p2p, e2ee 'Notion' like app
  • I’ve been reading their FAQ and this sounds very reasonable:

    • If you want to use their cloud for backup, it will have a cost (they have not come with one yet because they have not come that far yet. It’ll depend on their hosting cost and such).

    • But if you want to just sync between your own devices without their server, you can, and it’ll be totally free (they insist that “your data is always yours and only yours”)
