For those who struggle with dating, what do you consider to be your biggest hurdle?
  • OkCupid used to map those important things people don't talk about via thousands of multiple choice questions, and you used to be able to build a search filter from the answers you'd accept. Then MatchGroup/capitalism/puritans wrecked it. I don't know if there exists a good dating site anymore.

  • Which CLI app/utility you wish there was a GUI for?
  • The whole CLI. Linux should automatically generate default GUIs from manpages and code, to be developed further by the crowd of users on the desktop. It's pointless to handcraft both interfaces one app at a time.

    I like Linux Mint (compared to Ubuntu, Debian, and Windows) because usually right-clicking takes me closer to the solution I'm looking for, but it doesn't allow me to dig deep enough. It should be discoverable all the way from the desktop to what makes it tick. Think of Smalltalk by Alan Kay in Xerox PARC in the 1970s, or what it would be now had it been mainstream all this time. #discoverability #explorability

  • What is a stupid question?
  • If it's so easy, why didn't you link the answer?

  • I Hate Webp
  • Is the lack of support webp's fault? Is it fair to hate webp?

  • I'm just gonna stick to slotted, thanks
  • The EU should fine companies for introducing new standards that break old standards. Or any shit standards like Toslink: https://lemmy.world/comment/10671314 . Standardization organizations shouldn't be sleeping through all this shit.

  • It's Not Just Shein: Why Are ALL Your Clothes Worse Now?
  • My best casual trousers/pants are 65% polyester, 35% cotton, and over 10 years old now. Batistini brand.

  • The amount of sugar consumed by children from soft drinks in the UK halved within a year of the sugar tax being introduced, a study has found.
  • So they didn't try a sugar tax, like Finland didn't try basic income because opposing politicians sabotaged the trial in the planning stage to make the results worthless.

  • Pleasant Politics: Politics without the jerks
  • Have you prepared for downvote manipulation by bots? Quora incentivizes it by treating downvoted answers differently, so now the site may have as many bots as people.

  • Bidet users, how do you dry your ass afterward?
  • Kitchen tissue is strong when wet. Tear that square sheet in half lengthwise (because of oriented fibers), fold each half once, and you'll have reasonably sized pieces.

  • Linux Mint help
  • No, can't be lack of anything, it was the regular Mint 21.3 installer image overwriting Debian on a normal ext4 formatted partition. Nothing should have gone wrong. Reinstalled with formatting on, and it started working.

    "Hadn't" means "had not" (not done in the past), not "had not" (lacked possession). I'm Finnish and might be wrong.

  • Linux Mint help
  • Mine did that when I chose not to format the "/" partition when installing.

  • To those of you who drink tea: What brand of tea do you drink?
  • This gunpowder green tea is good for beginners or the lazy because it's mild and exceptionally tolerant of steeping too long, or in too hot water. Never bitter.

    If you already like green teas, try some Taiwanese 10% (nearly green) oolong, more complex than plain green. 0% oxidised is green, 100% is black, oolong is everything in between.

  • Is there a chat/dating app that isn't complete shit and pay wall restricted?
  • Getting lots of matches is useless when you're looking for a handful of great matches. For that you need a great matching mechanism with thousands of parameters - what OkCupid used to have before Match Group destroyed it.

  • Try this!
  • Only some strains in low vaping temperatures work for me.

  • You're in the right place
  • The "tanning notary" seems to be a package, or a service unknown to me.

  • what is the biggest failure in human history?
  • Investing everything in engines and abandoning battery development in the early 1900s. Lead-acid batteries were heavy but usable, and electric cars were more popular until electric starters were added to engines. A disproportionately big, short-lived reason was the lack of sufficient electrical grid for electric cars trying to go far.

    Nobody in government was thinking ahead, so everyone was forced to trying to make their own money NOW, and that's how we get inhumane tech in general. Same thing happening in computers for decades now. We need centralised R&D free from market influence for the benefit of all life.
