I feel this way about music too. Not just pirated tunes, but copyright takedowns on shorts and in yt vids

Finding new artists as a fan is hard enough. If someone has reposted your music video as their own, sure I get it.

But a minute clip or less? Fans or haters talking about it? Let that thing fly free baby! I’ve found so much new music that was background music. I use the family Spotify account or buy merch more than I buy music these days to support.

I’ve bought so many books from authors that became my favs after they did a free epub once that got my attention.

There’s always the “do this thing free for the exposure” problem - but people who say that are usually trying to exploit artists for their own gain. Fans are different, they are grass roots and not trying to exploit, but trying to recruit.

Another reply acting like this is a dumb thing to remind people. Maybe I’m dumb too.

But we used to have a fan that blew air across the bed. Husband loved it, I hated the feeling of air moving across me and would be buried under blankets to avoid it.

After a medical procedure he was sleeping in a recliner for a few weeks while he healed.

I adjusted the fan and ceiling fan so they move air around the whole room, just not directly across the bed. I can sleep without barriers for air tickles, we get the white noise benefit, and the room feela cooler. It works for him too this way when he’s in there and keeps him cool enough (I’ve asked)

Before that I had just assumed you had to be directly in front of a fan to get the benefits, especially when it’s too hot outside for the AC to work effectively.

Thank you, that sounds like my kinda vibe!

Death Note? I just watched the first episode last night (I’m late to anime)

If not, what is it, and should I watch?

Biscuit is the perfect name for this handsome guy!

One thing I’ve learned is that “committed to donate” does not equal “has actually transferred and paid the actual money”

So it’s just a headline to try and drum up other donations until the receipts are made.

JP’s tweet heavily implied he would react violently or argue with someone to their face if they say “cis” to him. The response implies JP would, in fact, do neither. JP would instead scurry off with maybe a mean glance and then whine for an hour from the safety of his podcast.

The response to JP is making fun of false bravado, toxicity, and whatever the word is for people that take everything as a personal insult - even a simple fact that JP is a cis man.

Granted, some people can deliver obvious facts in a tone that can draw blood. And some facts do cut into insecurities really deep.

But JP, based on his rhetoric should not be hurt or insulted by being cis. He is instead angry about people existing that are trans and threatening violence over a word.

So no, I don’t think this is mocking men having or showing real feelings. It’s mocking the talk-tough toxicity that gets pushed to cover genuine emotions.

Omg, it’s an inside-joke at our company now.

Anytime something happens on a server that’s been running great for years, like a hard drive going bad or the time one literally caught on fire…

98% of the time it is selinux that is the reason it is doing weird things after the main fix because selinux changed a setting on the reboot.

“Have you checked selinux?” is the go to question whenever anything breaks now, even if it’s not a computer.

I have an S7 (yes I know it’s old) I still like it and it works - but - something happens about once or twice a month and it starts hanging up whenever a phone call connects and/or an app will get super laggy.

Anyway, reboot fixes it (so far) and nothing else I’ve tried does.

There’s definitely something with these older phones that is like a slow leak and the simple, easy, lasts for weeks fix is to just take 2 minutes for a full “turn it off and back on again”

Plus the overheating when something gets stuck doing a background thing. Reboot reboot.

I plan to use this phone until it dies, reboot stops fixing things, or needed apps are no longer working/supported.

Slack no longer works/supported, but that one I’m just like “oh, noooo” However I expect ones I actually need to start falling off and I’ll be lucky to get a couple more years of use.

My meandering point, some of us are still using Android phones where reboot helps a lot

LOL!!

My husband isn’t on Lemmy, lol. I was just pointing out that my house has a similar light dynamic as this guy’s. And that sometimes it’s the wife with the light sensitivity. And yes, I know I’m weird for it compared to other people. :)

I’m the wife and I’m like you. I will stand in the dark and wait for my eyes to adjust rather than turn on a light.

We have fairy lights and red LED string lights for the high traffic areas to dissuade hubby from flipping on the overhead.

Low light motion sensor nightlights for a couple spots so that we don’t step on a cat on the way to the bathroom.

The kitchen lights are dimmable, so we can go bright when needed to cook, and dim if just searching for a snack.

I love it. He has given in and adjusted. I find it calm and cozy.

I wish I had a clever Linux joke response.

But, no joke, what is it like to ride one? I imagine them somewhere between smooth comfort and speed demons.

What kind of chair is this, if you don’t mind?

All aircraft are tracked. These screenshots are from a website that shows all the flight paths in real-time, or close to it.

In general you can see the aircraft type and call-sign(?), owner, point of origin, and destination. Sometimes owner and destination are obscured for varying reasons.

These particular screenshots are showing flights that originated from Russia

Also I love how his colors coordinate with the blanket! He’s very pretty

My cats do that too, they also drool in two specific circumstances even if you aren’t petting them.

One, the gray cat when you are holding her and your hair is long enough to stick her face in, she’ll drool in your hair. No petting really required.

Two, if the tabby is in your lap making biscuits she drools. Sometimes she’ll make a little slurpy sound first like she’s trying not to.
