Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If people from the US love the imperial system so much, why are their musicians using metronomes instead of footonomes?
72·2 years agoOf course they are pissed. In nature, it is common to see random stuff mixing together to get a cold temperature. Of course you’d define this as 0. Then you define freezing water as 32 and define a random person’s temperature to a even more random 96. Piece of cake.
How are these morons even able to understand that water is freezing approximately at 0c and boiling at 100c. This never happened ever in nature. Why choose something so unimportant to life like water?
While everybody hops on the newest trends I just try to understand the technology I am working with right now in Projects. Keeps me from wasting time with buzzwords and trends that are going to be obsolete in a couple of years.
If there is nothing new going on I usually pick a topic that I am interested in, get a good old book and read it. Usually this is knowledge not too related to my everyday work. This helps to have broad technical knowledge. Helps me heavily in my projects and everyday life.
But I have to admit I don’t apply for jobs 😉
If you put it on the top, remove all app icons and add a second bar on the bottom that shows the apps and hides when you open a window in full screen mode, it even gets a macOS feeling out of the box without any addons.
I tried KDE, Gnome, xfce and experimented with tiling window managers. At the end of the day I’m always getting back to cinnamon. It just works for me and I love it 😍

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmings who know where/when they contracted COVID, how long after your exposure did you become symptomatic?
4·2 years agoAround 2-3 days after exposure at a wedding. The outbreak happened at work (home office). I could feel how my body temperature started to rise and I started feeling bad. Shortly thereafter I had a burning sensation in my lungs and had my first positive test result 🤢
For 2-3 days I felt bad and extremely weak. Then it got gradually better.
I was fully recovered in 6-8 weeks (felt very weak when running in the morning or when doing heavy work). The next 6 months I had a lot of colds which is not normal for me.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Recommendations for podcasts to fall asleep to?English
3·2 years agoI love Startalk Radio for this. It’s very interesting, funny and they make breaks every couple of minutes with a jingle that triggers me to wake up slightly with enough focus to take my headphones off and then fall asleep
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone remember a logo that looked like this? None of us can place it but we all think we remember.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone remember a logo that looked like this? None of us can place it but we all think we remember.
6·2 years agoThis! I remember the colors being something like a blue background and the person in a lighter blue or a white background with a blue person. Stars were definitely separate

Technology@beehaw.org•Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloud
12·3 years agoMicrosoft is doing anything to push me towards Linux…
I understand it from a business perspective. They make the user more dependent and can earn more money. But the day you force me to store MY business data on some cloud servers which do not belong to me you lose me as a customer.
Maybe I should load my old Nixos config and have a look how my Laptop is doing now 😉

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Whaf do you think of hosting an AMA with John Oliver to make Lemmy/kbin officially a viable Reddit replacement?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?English
29·3 years agoThis is the content I was waiting for! I’ve read this while sitting on my throne 😂😂😂💩
TIL about the poop knife!
This is so true!
Last year I had a project to upgrade the PLC of a machine to the newest generation. As usual the customer was not able to tell me the requirements they had. They told me to look in the old software…
It turns out it was 30+ years old software where you had to program in a cmd line (Siemens S5 if you know PLCs). I had to migrate everything to the next generation (S7) to be at least a little bit productive. Then I thought come on lets try to migrate to the current generation (TIA) to be even more productive.
At the end everything was nearly ready to be compiled and uploaded to the PLC. So I fixed some minor compile time issues, deleted around 50-75% of the old program (old stuff which went obsolete), changed some variable names, refactored some stuff and here we are: The same 30+ year old software is running strong. 24/7 since 6 months without issues 😁

Technology@beehaw.org•European Union votes to bring back replaceable phone batteries
6·3 years agoThis is great news! Even better than the USB-C regulation. Changing a battery on a modern phone is a huge pita… And it’s definitely getting worse since some companies are trying everything to prevent you from doing so…
I would absolutely buy a phone twice as thick as my iPhone SE 2020 if it has an easily swappable battery. Bonus points if it is able to be used as an actual phone without a case to prevent it from dying instantly from a light breeze or some evil look by a person…
