Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem
  • i didn't realize the commute was implicitly a part of the 8 hours in your scenario. that makes a little more sense.

  • Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem
  • okay but when do chores happen? i can barely keep up on dishes and laundry with a 45 minute commute each way. sleep, too...

  • What’s next for the Steam Deck?
  • "hyper-accelerates the aging of all plaforms" that's a funny way to spell "planned obsolescence" but you do you

  • Two wolves...and a crow
  • i just cut my own hair and do what i want with it, tbh

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • that's from the cover/title art for the games Every Extend Extra and Every Extend Extra Extreme! i used to play the latter a bunch on my old xb360

  • Final Fantasy 16 sales did not meet high expectations, says Square Enix president
  • honestly, i started the demo, and while the gameplay wasn't bad, the characters and story didn't grab me at all, and i lost interest almost immediately. maybe i'll snag it in a year or two, after the GOTY, during a sale

  • If you could only keep one synthesizer…
  • that's fair. it's also easier for me to repair and modify my synth if i'm the one building it, which, chipocalypse-scale disruptions aside, makes the whole thing a little more future proof. and if this is the only synth i get, then i'd need to be able to repair it.

    my rule for my own rack is that i have to solder at least part of every single module (and now that i'm set up for surface mount work, i'll be able to build even more :3:3:3), and i'd think this would be the same

  • Apt, packages kept back: why and how to resolve it?
  • not sure about apt, but with apt-get the default behavior for upgrade is to hold back packages with new dependencies that are not currently installed. in that case, running sudo apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs should get those packages upgraded as well, assuming that dependency conflicts aren't a factor, too

  • that would be lovely, if it wouldn't be too much trouble for folks. i've noticed a few folks doing it on general nsfw communities more often lately, and it's made my time there a lot less stressful. if the ask ends up alienating people here, though, i can skedaddle, too

    When people downvote/post rude comments on porn
  • i think it's something the admins can toggle — it seems to be turned off for all of blahaj and a few other instances. i can't seem to find mention of it in the official lemmy docs, but it's discussed in a few threads on their github, so maybe it's just an option in the admin interface somewhere?

    When people downvote/post rude comments on porn
  • that makes sense, and i can understand that analogy. i really should be less timid about reporting. i think i was more responding to the second panel of the meme — it's not a matter of disgust or weak dislike — usually i'm either actively turned off by what i'm downvoting, or i'm experiencing some kind of reminder of trauma. not that it matters on here in my case; downvotes are disabled on my instance.

  • Dear Diary: Day One of using an iPod Classic in 2023
  • they work great with Clementine, too, which is cross-platform. and with a SD/flash adapter and Rockbox, the older models can still be capable little devices today. rockbox, at least, does start to chug a little with dynamic playlists over several thousand songs, though...

  • or... whatever got posted was a legitimate turnoff or bad vibes for someone, or simply posted in the wrong place

    that said, being rude is both unnecessary and self-defeating, and probably derails folks' horny more than just downvoting or blocking and then moving on so idk

  • might be a friend group thing. more or less everyone i know that has either played it or watched a playthrough loves disco elysium

  • Why do so many lemmy instances have non-traditional TLDs?
  • my guess is it's the same as why they're used on mastodon — they're fun

  • Latest addition: Safa
  • neat! :3 i'm curious, what are the secondary glyphs on the alphas?

  • How do you store and/or organize your audio cables?
  • no help here, i live in a sea of nightmare cable spaghetti

  • Synth Treehouse // Weekly Discussion - July 14, 2023
  • umm, well i got another no-input mixer module (a DE-5 Shakti) for my small feedback rack, and will probably spend some time feeling that out and making horrible noises after it's built. aside from that, i'll be combing BOMs and putting together a tayda/mouser cart for all the cheap st-modular PCBs we snagged in the modularaddict sale last week :3:3:3

  • Share your favorite Linux Desktop Environment
  • but out of the above, i feel like i3 or sway hits a good sweet spot in terms of moment to moment flexibility, and tight, mostly predictable behavior. i like being able to dig in and customize keyboard controls and automation without getting too deep in the Code Zone
