Redshirts - John Scalzi
  • Definitely Old Man's War if you like Scalzi's humor!

    The book series was great and really funny while exploring interesting, deep and sometimes dark topics.

  • What word pronunciations does Duo absolutely refuse to accept from you?
  • Here I thought it accepts everything.

    No matter how I mumble the words it seems to accept it (learning german with english).

  • Why lemmy is more popular in Finland compared to other european countries?
  • The reason we use english online so much is because when you search the web for something in finnish your top results will include vauva.fi forums (vauva = baby, used to be a magazine with a forum. Now only the forums persist). You find so much more information searching in english.

    To be fair I once got an answer to my question on the baby forums about changing oils in my car from that forum.

  • That was intentional jump, the cat is just dodging projectiles and ninja-kicking the demon off of the bed!

  • How to define lines and check on click which body is clicked?
  • Good answer! I can't recommend a library right now, but I recommend looking into the geometric term "Point in Polygon" to further read about this task/problem.

    Edit: wanted to clarify that I just wanted to give a better keyword for OP to search for a solution.

    NÀmÀ vastamielenosoittajat piristÀvÀt aina mieltÀ ja palauttavat uskoa ihmiskuntaan.

  • Good morning I choose making the best of what you have.
  • We need !neckbeardnests on lemmy. I just don't know where people on reddit got all those pictures from.

  • Im worried about going to Egypt
  • Thanks for the tip, will have to definitely plan a visit there.

  • Im worried about going to Egypt
  • Jordan is definitely the easier choice. But interesting! Didn't know Oman is also an easier destination!

  • Im worried about going to Egypt
  • There are many stories of tourists not being prepared for the environment and culture of their travel destination getting into serious trouble.

    If you are worried about headbutting someone I'd vote for not going. The local authorities will most often be on the side of the locals in many countries.

    If Egypt is your first northern-african/middle-eastern country to visit it might be tough. I'd suggest Jordan or possibly Marocco.

    On the steam page it just says under "sunset announcement" that it's being delisted.

    Edit: thanks guys for the links! Fuck Warner Bros

    HyvÀÀ perjantaita!

    Ajattelin pistÀÀ pienen arkisen tervehdyksen tÀnne elÀvöittÀÀkseni tÀtÀ sopuliyhteisöÀ.

    MitÀs porukka ajatteli tÀksi illaksi? Itse ajattelin lÀhinnÀ suunnitella viikonloppua töiden jÀlkeen.

    Migrating this community from @lemmy.autism.place

    This is a new home for [email protected] since the instance announced that it is being shut down.

    Hope the community finds its way here! If the instance is still up, I highly recommend checking out the original community for some inspiration.

    Additionally, since the original instance had a discussion about the use of AI generated images and came to the consensus that the community doesn't want them: I'm adding that rule in the sidebar (at least for now).

    Store making me feel like an outcast because of privacy concerns

    Okay the title is a bit exaggerated, but honestly not far off. This post is very mundane and a bit long, but thought it fits the community.

    I'm visiting my home country and went shopping for pants, there were "30% off everything!" signs with a tiny text underneath that said "member discount" (don't have membership). Not a problem, did not notice and I don't care for such marketing tricks to get you into the store but okay.

    Picked up couple of pants, went to the cashier and they asked me "do you have our membership?" - I answered no and expected the follow up question whether I'd like to join, but, to my positive surprise the cashier just happily responded "okay, not a problem!" and continued to bag my stuff.

    I stood ready to pay and then the cashier said "now I just need your phone number and you can pay". Hold up. What. I did not expect that, I honestly had a burst of anger inside me (never gonna take it on a cashier, they are just doing their job). I asked nicely why do I need to give my phone number and I was told that to register me as a member so I can get the discount.

    I declined and said I don't want to join and would like to just pay.

    The entire interaction after questioning why they need my phone number was awkward, as if I had been the first person to decline, the weirdo, aluminum foil hat wearing hermit.

    This was just one of many interactions in the recent years that make me feel as if I was a weirdo for not sharing all my info around. The worst is when everyone keeps telling me "its just an app, just download it and use that why do you make things complicated" or "just sign up you don't need to pay anything".

    Ylen haastateltavalla sattumoisin osuva nimi

    yle.fi Salaliittoteorioiden vyöry alkoi vain tunteja Trumpin ampumisen jĂ€lkeen – nĂ€mĂ€ teoriat leviĂ€vĂ€t nyt

    Trumpin salamurhayritykselle löytyy salaliittoteorioita sekÀ vasemmisto- ettÀ oikeistoleiristÀ.

    Salaliittoteorioiden vyöry alkoi vain tunteja Trumpin ampumisen jĂ€lkeen – nĂ€mĂ€ teoriat leviĂ€vĂ€t nyt

    Pahoittelut jos ulkomaahan liittyvÀ artikkeli ei sovi tÀnne, mutta halusin ottaa esille haastateltavan suomalaisen sukunimen, joka sattuu olemaan artikkelin aiheeseen osuva ja aluksi sai ainakin minut hÀmmentymÀÀn lukiessani artikkelia.

    Lyhyesti:

    Aihe kÀsittelee Trumpin salamurhaa yrittÀneen ampujan ympÀrillÀ vellovia salaliittoteorioita, haastateltavana on dosentti Marko Ampuja.

    Just wanted to share this since I didn't find anything on lemmy about this. It's a pretty cool open-source project that I got introduced to while investigating a google maps / mapbox open-source alternatives for globe representation on the web.

    Sorry if it doesn't fit into this community - didn't find a better community to post this and the sidebar says "OSM related software" posts are ok.

    How does "Splitser" app make money?

    I had no idea where to ask such a question and I tried to read their terms of use / privacy statements / about us page to find info about how this popular cost splitting app makes money to employ people.

    They don't even accept donations. Sounds very sketchy, but apparently they don't really sell data or even offer this app to businesses. Does anyone know how they make profit?

    Kokemuksia/Tietoa kaasujousellinen nÀyttövarren kuljettamisesta ulkomaille?

    Nyt olisi tosi spesifi kysymys, jos joltain tÀÀllÀ sattuisi olemaan kokemusta:

    Voiko kaasujousellisen nÀyttövarren/nÀyttötelineen kuljettaa lentokoneen ruumassa? Tai voiko vaihtoehtoisesti kuljettaa postissa ulkomaille?

    Ostin aikanaan DELTACO:n ARM-0350 nÀyttövarsia ja nyt tarvitsisi raahata ne ulkomaille (jos mahdollista), mutta rupesin miettimÀÀn tuota kaasujousea. Googlettamalla/Finnairin/Finnavian lÀhteistÀ ei löytynyt muuta, kuin ettÀ nÀyttötelineen saa tuoda. Kaasujousista ei ollut mitÀÀn infoa.

    Ajattelin soittaa Finnairille, mutta ajattelin kuitenkin tÀÀltÀ kysellÀ mahdollisia kokemuksia.

    Question about rent deposit in Austria

    I'm sorry if this question doesn't belong here, but couldn't figure out where else to write and this community doesn't have a rule against english posts so decided to ask here:

    Are landlords in Austria required to pay back the rent deposit with interest ? And if so, is the interest rate tied to something specific? Or are all of these things contract specific and the landlord by default is not required to pay back the deposit with interest to the tenant (if the tenant hasn't caused any damage that would allow the landlord to keep the deposit obviously)?

    I tried googling and translating some pages without success, and my German skills are limited to oida gemma zu billa so I thought maybe someone here could help.

    Kaikki Arkisuomen postaukset ei nÀy

    Tulin kÀymÀÀn /c/arkisuomessa ja huomasin, ettÀ tÀÀllÀ on vain yksi postaus (jÀÀteloautoa koskeva postaus), mutta muistelin tÀÀllÀ olevan enemmÀnkin postauksia.

    KÀvin vaihtamassa profiilistani kieleksi "suomi" ja heti alkoi nÀkyÀ vanhemmatkin postaukset.

    LemmyssÀ/kbinissÀ on tuo kielivalinta, mutta ymmÀrtÀÀkseni kaikki postaukset pitÀisi nÀkyÀ, jos valitsee profiilistaan "undetermined". Osaako joku selittÀÀ, miten tuo kielivalinta oikeasti toimii?

    Removing "Releases" and "Packages" section from GitHub repository's page

    Can you not remove "Releases" and "Packages" section from your repository in GitHub?

    There is a gear icon on the repository page "Edit repository details" and it seemingly allows you to remove those sections from the page but they don't do anything. Is it just me / is this limited with a free account or just a bug?

    Couldn't find anything about this by googling. Any answers much appreciated!
