So you have a dirty crack, you got to get up, and waddle through the bathroom with pants on your ankles?

I’m getting bored with my smartphone. Stuff like YouTube I never watch on my phone anyway, but imo YouTube has gotten much worse over time and I barely watch it at all now.

By law, apartments like mine should have one, so I guess there may be one somewhere. If there would actually be a fire, I wouldn’t know where to look though

Showrss.info, the news, some comics from Reddit and a few YouTube channels and some blogs.

As far as I know, European banks never give you the option for balance inquiry. ATMs in e.g. Asia may give the option but it won’t work with a European bank card.

Meta Confirm Charging EU Users For Ad-Free Access to FB and Insta (alternativeto.net)

Meta has officially confirmed its decision to introduce a subscription plan for ad-free access to Instagram and Facebook for users in the European Union, EEA, and Switzerland. This move comes a few weeks after Meta first considered the idea, amidst regulatory pressure from the EU regarding the company’s ad targeting and data...

For Facebook, use Frost. For Instagram: Aeroinsta.

Fleppensteijn,
@Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl avatar

If you care so much about privacy, you shouldn’t use Facebook at all. But for me, Frost has made Facebook useable at least. And it works now. Once it doesn’t, I’ll get rid of it

Browsers will grow with cache and settings etc.

I’m more curious about mobile apps in general. I had to install Microsoft Authenticator to log in to my work account and it costs 165 MB. It sucks because disk space is so limited

Fleppensteijn,
@Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl avatar

Nah, I had my own authenticator (Aegis) until MS decided you can only use theirs

Fleppensteijn,
@Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl avatar

It started nagging I need to switch to Microsoft’s authenticator but it was skippable for a while until it wasn’t 🤷‍♂️. They apparently use their own method that other authenticators can’t imitate.

Fleppensteijn,
@Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl avatar

You probably have to boot to Windows first and let it finish the disk checking. Then make sure fast boot is turned off

Maybe wait?

Buuf cursor store.kde.org/p/1249129/ because I like a cursor that is good looking and easy to see (unlike the default camouflaged dark cursor) and it fits with Buuf icons store.kde.org/p/1305826/

I’m using a dark Kvantum theme that I customized with dark red highlights.

Nobody ever asks about gaps on my CV. They always turn me down, list some bullshit reasons, like not enough experience and end with “and then there are some gaps on your cv so yeah”

I was sent to German countryside once for work and had to eat at a restaurant. The cheapest meal was already totally expensive. Some potatoes and green stuff. Not worth it.

What’s this thing with people claiming tomatoes are vegetables? It’s got seeds in it

Fleppensteijn,
@Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl avatar

I thought the definition was pretty clear but basing it on some tradition is a bit vague.

Creating a new Google account isn’t even possible without a phone number anymore. I had a new account which I didn’t use in a while and it decided I need some old phone number to confirm my log in. There’s no way to log in, recover or delete the account. There’s no way I’m putting my daily account to that risk by giving them whatever phone number I have now

Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID?

Someone asked a question about how frequently young people have time to socialize and it made me think about what people do with their evenings. I recently asked my son to go to a concert (free ticket to see a band i know he likes) and he declined because it was an hour away on a weeknight. If we invite our kids or niece/nephew...

For dinner 6.30 seems very late to me imo

Fleppensteijn,
@Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl avatar

Sounds fancy, where are you where that’s normal? We usually eat dinner after coming back from work, and maybe coffee and snacks in the evening around 8.30.

Fleppensteijn,
@Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl avatar

Aren’t you all at work/school around that time?

Fleppensteijn,
@Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl avatar

Interesting idea. It sounds like a lot of extra work though

I’m usually starving at the end of my workday so I couldn’t imagine having to wait that long

Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance? (lemmy.world)

According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return....

Fleppensteijn,
@Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl avatar

I used to rely on news feeds through Firefox until they suddenly removed this feature. I switched to an RSS reader but around the same time, a lot of websites started dropping their RSS feeds. I’m out of the loop of why this happened and it’s probably one reason I feel so bored being online nowadays

Fleppensteijn,
@Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl avatar

Feeds can be set up to just show part of the article so you’d still have to visit the site to read it all, which seems a better solution than losing the traffic completely. I’ve deleted many sites that just stopped their RSS at some point and I just kind of forgot about them.

Also, why can’t sponsored texts be added to RSS? It seems to me this would be hard to block by adblockers (and I’ll probably unsubscribe, but still).

Fleppensteijn, (edited )
@Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl avatar

I keep hearing about Google being part of the downfall but I honestly never heard of Google Reader until long after it got closed down. How was this different than other RSS readers?

Fleppensteijn,
@Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl avatar

Maybe consider using a launcher for that, like albertlauncher (Linux) or ueli (Windows).

I’m not really familiar with Gnome

Linux clipboard app which has functionality to paste multiple things after copying them in one go.

Edit: Everything seems too complicated, so I just went with this odysee.com/simplescreenrecorder-2023-09-03_11.02.…When you try to copy something, you copy something and then you paste it. This is fine, but I wish there was an app which would help me copy multiple items at different times and seamlessly help me paste it....

Fleppensteijn,
@Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl avatar

And you can set a keybind to switch to previous/next item so you could do something like ctrl+, ctrl+v

Being imprisoned in school in name of education is already miserable though

Why, am I being too controversial? I don’t believe the only possible alternative to child labor is schooling and definitely not in the way it is done today.

I had a look and it so happens there are 2 properties for sale within a few hundred meters from me.

€ 200,000 for a one room apartment of 46 m²

€ 560,000 for a large apartment with balcony

The nearest house costs a bit over € 1.2 million.

I got lucky with a cheap apartment ~40m² for € 662/month (which is almost as much as minimum wage here btw). Renting till I die I guess 🤷

Paypal is the worst.

I wanted to link a card to Paypal but it just kept saying I couldn’t transfer money to it. Support said they could see there was a block on it which would resolve after 72 hours. Weeks later I finally get a response: adding a card is not supported in your country. Why do they let me add a card and then lie to me?

I get some side cash in a foreign currency but have no way to get the money out without being charged a crazy fee

For tinnitus this helps me: audionotch.com/app/tune/

Otherwise, maybe browse with tor and download with torsocks and youtube-dl?

Fleppensteijn,

It depends on how the video is embedded and which format it is.

  • You can try to open Page Info (CTRL+I) > Media tab and see if you can find the video there (Firefox).
  • Sometimes you can right click and open frame in new window, which then allows you to save it (you may need to enable dom. event. contextmenu in about:config if they block right click)
  • Get the VideoDownloadHelper addin (Firefox)

Boredom. At least I’ll die one day. A hat may be stuck in some cupboard until it slowly decays over thousands of years.

Fleppensteijn,
@Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl avatar

It’s pretty good and you can create custom commands relatively easy. I wanted to use it for my smart plugs, which works by linking it to Openhab, but some hardware is not supported so I don’t actively use it. It only sucks that it loses its connection often so you have to log in to the website and link it again.

In Europe too. It already looked like fall in early August. It’s because of the heat.
