  • I primarily use DDG, but the vast majority of people I talk to (including other tech savvy people) use Google. I feel like "search" is too generic (search where?), but "search the internet" is weird. And saying "Bing it" or "Duck it" or whatever just sounds overly contrarian. But if I say "Google it", people know exactly what I mean.

    So yes, I will "Google where to buy some bandaids" by searching DDG for adhesive bandages.

  • Asthma folks: what is the lowest dose regimen you've done well by and what other things do you do to keep the Asthma-monkey off your back?
  • Well this is kind of a no brainer, but my asthma has been significantly less prevalent since I stopped smoking/vaping weed. I have exercise induced asthma, and when I smoked or vaped every day, any amount of physical activity could potentially set it off. Now, it only ever bothers me if I perform intense cardio physical activity particularly in the cold, so I just avoid that as much as I can

  • Self-hosted or personal email solutions?
  • Interesting. I have always used their web app (even on mobile, i just use their pwa instead of the native app since the native app is missing obvious features), and I haven't had any issues, but I can definitely understand the frustration if you want to use anything else. OP, keep that in mind if you're thinking about Proton!

  • Self-hosted or personal email solutions?
  • Just throwing in my two cents since I just went through this same ordeal: I use Proton, but be aware that you can only use a custom address if you pay for the premium plan which is not crazy cheap. I've been pretty happy with their premium plan so far, which includes premium features for mail, calendar, cloud drive, VPN, and password manager, but if I ever decide that I don't want to keep paying for it, I can always transfer my custom domain to a different provider without needing to update my email.

    As for the domain, I went with namecheap. I also have a pretty common name, so the good domains were taken and I had to settle for [email protected] but I think it's still pretty easy to remember.

  • Banjo-Kazooie Patient Review: A classic in 2023?
  • It's been one of my favorite games since I first played it ~25 years ago, so it makes me so happy to hear that it (mostly) holds up. I have my opinions about Tooie (both good and bad), but I'll let you form your own opinions about it. Looking forward to hearing what you think!

    Also, it's too bad they never made a third game. But if they did I can only imagine they would have done something crazy like remove the platforming and added in some vehicle building mechanic. Thank goodness that never happened!

  • What are computer gadgets everyone should own?
  • I know this is sacrilegious (especially as a professional software developer who works from home) but I actually think it's too much screen space. I have a second 4k monitor that I almost never use because it always ends up with a lot of empty wasted space, so it just stays off most of the time. It really only gets used when I have something on my main monitor full screen, but even then it rarely has more than a 1080p screens' worth of content

  • Addictive
  • Maybe because "take upvote" doesn't contribute at all to the discussion. I mean, that's literally the point of the upvote, you don't need to comment as well if you're not adding anything that other people want to see

  • why not a,b or x,y?
  • It's my understanding that i,j are conventionally used in mathematics which carried over into programming, but specifically it comes from Fortran in which all integer variables start with "I" through "N" based on said mathematical convention

    Error: couldnt_find_community

    I was browsing all communities on Liftoff, and I came across one that I wanted to subscribe to: [email protected] When I tapped Subscribe, I got an error that the thread[sic] was retrieved from lemmy.world, but I was signed in to lemmy.ml. First of all I don't know why that would be an issue (I've subscribed to other lemmy.world communities before). But I just started using Liftoff so I thought it might have been a bug and I tried to do it from Jerboa. But, [email protected] doesn't show up in the search. Also, I tried in a browser to navigate to https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] and I got the error in the title of this post (couldnt_find_community). Navigating to a different lemmy.world community using the same method works fine, but sbubby does not. What's going on?

    YSK: It's "Habanero", not "Habañero"

    Many English speakers apply what is known as a "hyperforeignism" to the Spanish word habanero, using an ñ to mimic other Spanish words like "jalapeño". This is not correct though, as "habanero" is named for the Cuban city Habana (or Havana in English).

    Which mods have you been playing?
  • Yeah I really enjoyed SE for a while, but I gave up towards the end game once it stopped introducing new mechanics and started just making you do the same things in different combinations. I really liked the Arcospheres though, I thought they were a really clever and novel challenge. Overall I would say it's worth the time to experience all the interesting new mechanics, but I don't think I'm missing out from stopping before I beat it

    What do you game on?
  • I built my first ever gaming pc this year so I've been trying to get through an infinite backlog of pc games that I've missed over the years. But as of right now all my focus is going towards TOTK on Switch
