AITA for using the air conditioner too early when my dad told me to only use it before going to sleep?
  • Lots of stuff here, assuming you are a minor because if not you should move out immediately.

    First about the AC, I would recommend you ask to turn it on when the temperature is at a certain level in your room, say 80 or whatever your parents can agree to which is a more reasonable way to control it.

    Next, I think daring your father to disown you sounds like a bad idea, I would not recommend you to escalate the situation since it sounds like a very poor relationship. If your mom can't help, maybe you have grandparents that can help you? Good luck, try to hang in there.

  • Buying a new cycling computer
  • Just sprung for a bolt v2 since it's on sale today and I'm still using an old edge 500 that has seen better days. My wife has a bolt v1 and I think it's great, the app integration is nice, the screen is really easy to see etc. From what I can tell the v2 ad 530 are pretty similar, there are many videos about it. I tried a hammerhead karoo 2 and returned it, the screen is just too hard to read in sunlight.

    I use strava and non of the garmin stuff for stats, so go that route if you switch to the bolt.

  • Coders, what is your workflow on Linux
  • I'm an old school emacs guy, I prefer that for c++/python/etc and run KDE Neon because I like KDE and I'm used to ubuntu (and Kubuntu has some issues). For c++ I use CMake, google test. Not really a fan of docker etc. but I have used Kubernetes and docker in the past. Those types of containers just create new and more complicated problems than just testing on the target platform, but in some niche cases it can be useful.

    I can't stress enough how awesome emacs is, but it takes a serious investment to get efficient with it.

  • What are your thoughts on Lemmy and Lemdit so far?
  • I think it's a bit weird to copy paste a link in order to subscribe to a community... Luckily I found a browser plugin that mitigates that. It's the little details and usability improvements and performance optimizations that need to happen for Lemmy to really take off imo. As for Limdit, I like the theme, otherwise don't have an opinion yet.

  • AITA For being Disappointed in Surfshark?
  • Yes this is the anti cancel tactics that many companies use and the ftc is working on it: https://www.npr.org/2023/03/23/1165527249/ftc-rule-charges-cancel-online-subscriptions

    I recently canceled surfshark too (i hope) and I recommend Mullvad if you need a vpn in the future, you pay for one month at a time, no subscription bs.
