Now, take me back to the asylum, I'm more comfortable there.
- "Old web" things were replaced by VC-backed apps because the apps had a better user experience, not just because big tech conspired to kill the old web. People wanted to use social media instead of RSS feeds because social media is easier to use than RSS feeds. Ditto for Discord replacing IRC. People here sometimes act like IRC declined because of a bigtech conspiracy against it. IRC declined because you had to message a freaking bot once a month to keep your nickname.
- Wayland and systemd solve a lot of problems and are overall a step in the right direction.
I remember this game being talked about simply because it was good AND because it basically had no promotion done for it. Like, every review said, "Activision just released a perfectly solid game out of nowhere for some reason."
I have never even played Guild Wars and I am excited by this. With so many games being abandoned shortly after launch, this is very cool to see.
It feels really cool to use a purely mechanical one, haha. Like you're a chemist in the 16th century figuring out pressure for the first time.
I hadn't really thought about the fact that Ubuntu (and many others, apparently) don't have hibernation. I switched to Debian about a year ago, and I wasn't sure what the Hibernate button did when I saw it for the first time. But after I searched to find out, I started using it all the time.
Calipers. I bought a cheapo pair (this one) because it was convenient for measuring the parts on a mechanical watch that I was modding. Now I use them all the time around the house for finding the size of nuts, bolts, rope thickness, etc.
That looks so good!
Arguably a classic bad game!
OK, I guess it makes more sense if it was newly added. That still means that I didn't notice it for more than a year, though. (I have Tahoe installed, which came out September 2025.) It definitely seems like a bad design decision.
That is good to know, thanks.
Speaking of the MacOS search bar, there is a secret row of icons that only shows up when you move the mouse
(piefed-media.feddit.online)
Yeah! I've run into that, too. "keyboard" does not show the keyboard settings, and "security" does not show the security settings. And I know that they did in an earlier version; I used those all the time.
edit: OK, now it actually does, but it still sucks.
- It's not the first item in the list.
- At first it shows a bunch of files that have "security" in their path name, then the Privacy & Security setting pops in about a second later.
- It shows up... twice? They are the third and fourth options and they are the same thing. Those both go to the same place.
Searching for "safari" does not show the Safari application in any of the visible results. I'm about 95% sure that, in previous versions, if any applications were an exact match for your search term, those would show up first.
I just saw this other post, https://lemmy.world/post/50970674, about cutting the flowers off of a basil plant. I noticed that mine was growing fairly quickly, until the flowers showed up, and now the leaves have stopped getting bigger.
If the plant has already developed flowers, do I still cut them off?
The original cotton string was starting to wear down. It broke once already, but it was just the very end that snapped off, so I could just tie a new knot and call that the new end. But now it was starting to do it again. I bought some paracord from the hardware store and replaced it with that.
Right after I pulled the original string out of the waistband, I remembered that someone once told me that you can tie the new string to the old string, and then pull the old string out and thereby pull the new string into the hole, instead of trying to push the new string through the hole. That would have been a good thing to have remembered about 30 seconds earlier.
