Are you AVAB (assigned Vim at birth) or are you trans-editor?

SayJess OP ,
@SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Definitely AVAB. I love working through a terminal. One cannot do everything on iTerm2 as one could do on a Debian distro, but it gets pretty close.

Saraphim , in Who else is a little bit stoned rn?

I wasn’t before but you’ve inspired me. I’m easily influenced.

etchinghillside , in What temperature do you keep your thermostat at?

83F day 78F night. These temps are mainly chosen to not give my AC a heart attack.

During the winter I’m pretty hands off and will let it get down to 20-30F and just layer up next to a small space heater.

wild ,

20 - 30F?! You have no water pipes??

etchinghillside ,

If it does get down below freezing it’s usually not for long. And once I’m up and moving and have a space heater on its probably in the 50s by the afternoon.

I live in an RV - you kind of just work with the weather you get.

idkwhatimdoing , in Who else is a little bit stoned rn?

No way, never. That's just not who I am.

A "little bit" doesn't begin to cover it...

Agrivar ,

LOL, agreed! I'm only ever a "little bit stoned" when I first wake up in the morning - and the first round of bong hits sorts that right out!

dick_stitches , in Why are barns in the United States often red?

Farmers originally used to seal their barns with a combination of linseed oil (red-ish) and iron oxide (rust, red). Then when paint came around, apparently red paint was the cheapest. https://www.bobvila.com/articles/solved-why-are-barns-painted-red/

what_is_a_name ,

Basically also why Swedish barns are red. I presume those two stories and red barn origins are related.

@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Not just barns, the stereotypical swedish red houses with white detailing exist pretty much because of a single copper mine in the town Falun, where they got so much leftover product to turn into paint that it basically supplied the entire country even to this day.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falu_red

That town also spawned the equally stereotypical (though less internationally known) Falu sausage, which is probably one of the most popular meat products here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falukorv

And lastly to hammer home how insanely important this mine has been: It has been continously mined from like year 800 up until the 90's, has been the source of a lot of improvements to global mining technology, and as of 2001 it is a UNESCO world heritage site.
It's honestly kind of weird it's not more well known, and i HIGHLY recommend visiting the museum and going on a tour through the actual mine itself.

You can get there by train comfortably by taking the Snälltåget night train from hamburg (or even berlin) to stockholm and then the SJ intercity to Falun.

Caligvla , in What kind of Telemetry do you allow?
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Zero. I don't cotton to my devices phoning home ever.

min_fapper ,

So, if an application crashes on your device, you're okay with it never getting fixed because the developer has no idea it's a problem?

nothacking ,

Just tell them.

Caligvla ,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I love how you're implying a bug will never get fixed because I, of all people, am not using telemetry. If it's bugging you so much that's when you open up a ticket on their issue tracker.

Pottsunami , in Is anyone else having trouble giving up Reddit due to content?

Its still early. This is the first time there has been a legitimate alternative to reddit and thats honestly only because 3rd party apps like sync have made it usable.

Reddit started when Digg changed its site and everyone went to reddit. There has also been multiple attempts to leave reddit, but no similar alternatives. Now there is a good alternative and there will be more things reddit does that will make people look for alternatives.

I'm not having trouble giving up Reddit. I've given it up. And I've definitely noticed the lower volume of content here on Lemmy/the fediverse, but:

  • it's getting better pretty much daily; and
  • the percentage of good quality content here far exceeds Reddit, so I still feel better off.
_number8_ , in Is anyone else having trouble giving up Reddit due to content?

EXACTLY

there's just not enough in depth stuff on here. i love shitposts, i love memes, i love a chill tone. but we need people posting interesting posts, you know. i'm not even sure how to put my finger on what's different or why, but there's just less....stuff here. it needs to be seasoned, or something.

chepox ,

It's a matter of numbers. Like sports. You get the best by having a large pool of possible posts to rise to your attention. Reddit gets a bunch of posts that never get read. Lemmy we read pretty much all of them.
There are some good posts here and there in Lemmy but not to the level of reddit. And until Lemmy gets reddit numbers it will suffer from "athletes" from small towns vs athletes from big cities. No contest.

bl4ckblooc , in Is anyone else having trouble giving up Reddit due to content?

A lot of people (like myself) need to step out of their comfort zones if we want Lemmy to get more conversations going. Yesterday I made a game thread in the community for my favourite NFL team; I was the only one who commented. But I’m going to try and make one for the game next week.

panchzila ,

I'll join you during regular season.
