Game soundtracks were such a game changer for me; like this music that's literally written to be in the background?
This is the first comment about switching to Linux that makes me feel positively about the idea
While going into town twice a week to love bomb the locals
While I don't necessarily agree in this case, you did remind me of something Justice Kirby (an Australia Hugh Court (our highest court) Judge) wrote in his dissent in Carr v Western Australia.^1
"He was a smart alec for whom it is hard to feel much sympathy. But the police were public officials bound to comply with the law. We should uphold the appellant's rights because doing so is an obligation that is precious for everyone. It is cases like this that test this Court. It is no real test to afford the protection of the law to the clearly innocent, the powerful and the acclaimed."
^1 232 CLR 138, 188 [170].
I always forget everything that's happened in the fortnight since I last saw her
Wait, you have to pay to use your phone as a hotspot?!
How small are the pineapples in Texas? Because a can of Monster is not the same size of any pineapple I've seen.
If we just got rid of the Himalayas everything would even out! /s
While I understand that others have different priorities with phones, I've never quite understood why Lemmy is so enraged by the absence of a headphone jack...
I prefer wireless headphones. When I had wired headphones I used to regularly yank my phone off the counter when cooking, or try to walk away from my desk while tethered by a cord.
If I did ever need to use wired headphones, using an adapter isn't that big a deal to me. Although I'd probably have to use a magnetic adaptor so that when I inevitably forget that I'm connected to it and walk away, my phone/entire desktop doesn't come with me.
Particularly an issue when you’re googling an obscure software issue, you just get spammed with the same copy/paste “troubleshooting” steps. Which usually boil down to “reinstall this completely unrelated driver”.
Just reading this caused a small spike of ice cold fury within my soul
I remember on reddit once someone from the US complaining about people assuming their bar had EFTPOS machines/pay wave saying "You wouldn't go to the grocery store without your wallet?!"
And me, in Australia just being like...but... I do? I almost never take my wallet with me to the grocery store...
(Although, because my student public transport card is the only thing I can't put on my phone, going out for drinks is one of the few times I'm almost guaranteed to have my wallet) (also because I want to have backups if something goes wrong while I'm inebriated)
I needed to see this, just in general, today
If you gave me 1000 chances...I would not have guessed the end of that headline...
Thanks for letting me know that that community exists! It's one of my favourite subreddit so there being a Lemmy alternative is great news!
Is that the stuff that comes in a little glass vial?
I didn't for so long despite knowing about it, and now i cannot deal with YouTube without it
