  Irreverent not irrelevant

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does Instagram or YouTube Shorts get you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope. I don’t like the format.

  A 30 seconds video is like repeating the same mistakes that turned Twitter (yes, even before Elon Musk) to what it is today: a place that there’s no shade of gray, no nuance and everything is outrageous. A Short has no time to elaborate on anything and can simplify the subject so much that it becomes just misinformation.

  Also I don’t believe it’s worth for creators in the long run. I’m not a creator myself but I believe that the time-effort to create a video is not linear with its duration. They can make a short so elaborated and viral that it would be more worth to create a full video in regards of sponsorship, ad revenue and subscription retention.

  Since I’ve adopted PowerToys -> PowerToys Run and set a shortcut to open it with “Super (windows key) + Space” I don’t know what a start menu is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can. As others have said it’s just a trend.

  There are parts made specifically for those like you (and me) who don’t like unicorn barf all over their room. (My case has RGB fans. I just don’t connect these pins tho)

  I mean… their job supposedly is to protect and serve the citiens so yeah… I’d expect them to use their tools to do their job.

  Not enough feet to be considered a furry artist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microplastic overdose⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They could use parchment paper I think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I search content from websites I visit with full-text search and tags?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe take a look on Hunchly?

  It’s a tool for online investigations so it might be useful for what you’re looking for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peertube's moment might come soon⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sharing video is such a big problem that even Google couldn’t solve it when it was their time. They just bought their biggest competitor when their own platform didn’t get traction. And then operated at a loss for years and years.

  I’d love to see descentralized video platforms as the next guy but there are serious barriers that come with the medium

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How on earth do you water your plants in macrame hangers?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, I just edited the message so you can check it better.

  TL;DR: Yes. It’s just a drip system that doesn’t flood the vase.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How on earth do you water your plants in macrame hangers?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I put a water bottle with a hole in the cap facing down and adjust the drippage. Like https://sagesacre.com/2021/02/12/garden-hack-diy-water-bottle-drip-watering-system/

  You can just flip the whole bottle without the cap and stick it into the soil if the vase is big or the bottle is small enough

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How should I find a good hair cut?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s a list on order of what I think you should address before deciding your next haircut:

  • What’s your hair type? Is it curly? Extra curly? Straight? Does it have too much (or lacks) volume? You can change your hair to some degree (mine is curly and I used to straighten it when I was your age) so have this in mind.

  • What’s your personal style? Do you like it short like people in the army or would you like it to be bigger? Are you a metalhead, a punk or like the classic pompadour?

  -How much time do you want to spend on it every morning? Some styles are much more time consuming to maintain than others.

  They’re are all personal questions that you have to answer yourself. Just think about them for a while and decide on what you think is cool. Then walk to a barber shop that your trust and ask the guy to make yours like the photo. If the guy does a bad job then put on a cap and wait for it to grow back haha

  I’m sorry the best vs code is the Hot Dog Stand from windows 3.1 tribute

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apparently, all you need to do to "git gud" in an online FPS is to reduce hand "stress" while aiming.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yes…don’t get me wrong. I think OSU can be a great tool to practice aiming. I’ve seen League of Legends players using it to farm better too.

  It’s just that I don’t think one can play a FPS like they play OSU. They have more “dimensions”, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apparently, all you need to do to "git gud" in an online FPS is to reduce hand "stress" while aiming.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The video is impressive but it’s basically a OSU pro player playing OSU with a gun.

  I don’t know if the skill would transfer to a FPS e-sport, though. I wonder how the key mapping would look like with various movement, skills and what not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When we think of thunderstorm in terms of mythology we usually think of gods being angry, sad or war. I wonder if there are cultures out there that think of thunderstorm just Gods farting.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When the thunderstorm is very far away and I can listen just the faintest noise i I like to say that the sky’s stomach is rumbling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TweetDeck is officially becoming a paid service⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A better frontend, basically.

  It guaranteed chronological timeline and multiple columns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Printers⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought mine during lockdown and still not encountered this issue but this is good info!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Printers⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  +1 for the Epson Ecotank.

  The ink bottles are cheaper than cartridges and it’s basically “dumb”. There’s no DRM that prevents you from squirting any generic type of ink in there.

  I did not test it on older hardware but mine is WiFi enabled and it works seamlessly on every device.

  It’s not a perfect solution but it’s a good middle ground for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The other day I heard a friend talking about how "the moon's gravity affects our internal organs." This sounds like bull, but is it? And if so, how would I correct their misinformation?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, now you made me find this paper: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abe1358?intcmp…

  OP’s friend might’ve read something based on it too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The other day I heard a friend talking about how "the moon's gravity affects our internal organs." This sounds like bull, but is it? And if so, how would I correct their misinformation?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe your friend is thinking about menstrual cycles? Of course they aren’t really influenced by the moon but they (often) have a period of 1 month, like the moon phases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Fall of Stack Overflow⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When we use forums there’s also an opportunity to correct (or be corrected) on how we deal with problems.

  I’ve seen a few times people asking how to do X while they’re actually trying to do Y. ChatGPT would gladly direct them to the wrong path.
