MrMusAddict,

It’s the an extension for Google Passwords? It’s my password manager for all my devices.

I would love to switch to Firefox, but I don’t want to open chrome every time I need a to retrieve/save a password.

15 years of Android memories – When did you get your first Android phone? (blog.google)

My first one was a Samsung Galaxy S1 that I got in 2013 and it was a great little device that was easy to open up and repair. It had only 512MB of RAM but that was plenty for basic phone needs, web browsing and running some Android apps like AnkiDroid at the time.

MrMusAddict,

My dad had the T-Mobile G1; if I recall, first ever commercial available Android phone!

That was handed down to me after a couple years. It has as much chill factor as it did nerd factor. People laughed and were amazed at the same time. I loved it, lol

MrMusAddict,

I’m still rocking Jerboa on Android. It has been totally inoffensive, and I’ll probably just stick with it until it offends me somehow.

MrMusAddict,

Is community browsing different than community searching? Because Jerboa has Searching.

MrMusAddict,

As far as I understand;

A user is specific to one instance. In order to interact with the fediverse on that specific account, they need to log into that instance. If they’re banned from that instance, they cannot log in and interact with the rest of the fediverse.

There’s nothing stopping them from logging into an alt, whether on that same instance or on another instance.

MrMusAddict,

Hmm, OSM is perhaps the biggest base for alternative navigational software. Seems like a huge design flaw.

I’m obviously oblivious to the implementation difficulties, but it seems like it should be extremely simple to add something akin to a “temporarily closed until” field, so that uses can set and forget, and it’ll resolve itself without a secondary edit.

That way, offline users can ignore this field, and nav software must use it.

MrMusAddict,

Not too difficult, I imagine. Especially if it’s a default field in the UI under Access.

As for the companies making the nav software itself, I’m sure they’d love to implement temporary closures.

MrMusAddict,

Not really tricky at all. Especially if they limit the expiration date to be within the gap of the current closure logic (min 3-6 months).

Especially “especially” if they made the expiration date a new field, one that offline users could ignore, and navsoftware could use imperatively.

MrMusAddict,

My Pixel 7a nearly has this. The “Power” button by default does:

  • Short Press: Sleep/Wake
  • Long Press: Assistant

In order to actually get the power menu to pop up, you hold the power button + volume up. You can switch the behavior so that a long press can either be the assistant or the power menu, but otherwise not fully configurable. Feels like that would be an easy win to let us do whatever we want with it.

[Rumor] Apple To Issue New Software Update For iPhone 12 To Bring Its Radiation Down To Acceptable Levels (wccftech.com)

To prevent the iPhone 12 from being banned in France, Apple is reportedly working to release a software update that is said to bring down the radiation levels to accommodate the request of French regulators. Before being officially released back in 2020, it was reported that Apple knew about this problem and instructed its...

MrMusAddict,

The word “radiation” has unfortunately been commandeered by idiots to mean “TOXIC MAGIC AIR”. Lightbulbs radiate (produce light).

In this case they’re 100% just reducing the gain on the phone’s signal strength. No harm prevented. Purely regulatory.

MrMusAddict,

Form me personally, I’d have to say my automated espresso machine. For context; I was buying 1-2 coffees from a shop per day (let’s say 10/week on average).

Cost me $700 on a sale. Grinds & presses the beans by itself, then pushes boiling water through to give me espresso shots. It paid for itself in 8 months of ownership by weening me off the local shops, and it’s lasted for over 6 years so far.

MrMusAddict,

From what I recall from one of their Directs, Digital Foundry corroborated another outlet’s finding that ultra settings (and I think specifically ultra shadows) are unoptimized. Tons of weird frame time jittering, and like a 15% drop in FPS compared to AMD. So, if you have shadows turned to High or lower, that’ll explain it. Otherwise, what they’re saying is an AMD equivalent would be getting 70-80 fps in your case.

MrMusAddict,

I finally broke the shackles of Baldurs Gate 3, and now I’m playing… Split screen Baldurs Gate 3 with my wife! It’s genuinely just so good…

MrMusAddict,

On Reddit, I was mainly subscribed to a few niche subreddits. By reddit’s standards, that’s still like 100k subscribers. But over here, even though there might be 1000 people subscribed to those same niche communities, the 90-9-1 rule still applies. Either the community has one super-spammy power user trying to boost life into the community, or there’s just no one actually posting anything.

I’m getting enough of a fix to stay on Lemmy and wade out the peace and quiet, but I do long for the engagement of 50k+ users on a truly niche topic. My willingness to stay on Lemmy has been helped by me starting to re-utilize off-site forums specifically to those niches. But I can totally understand how it just feels dead to a lot of the Reddit exodus.

MrMusAddict,

I mean, I’m not going to ask you to doxx yourself, but I’m extremely curious to know where you’re seeing these homes that are, as you describe them, like 150 SqFt of livable area (10x10 studio + 5x8 bathroom) with an attached 3 car garage.

Edit: And to clarify, the 1500 was pulled out of an anecdotal average. My observations while shopping for homes here in the US have been; 2 bed / 1 bath, could be as small as 800 SqFt, but it’s cramped. Whereas in middle-class suburbia, it’s not uncommon to see 2500+ SqFt homes.

MrMusAddict,

Wow, what an awe-inspiring counter-example, lol

MrMusAddict,

Excellent point. The initial intent of my squabble wasn’t trying to deny that counter-examples exist, just that when comparing 100 houses to 100 apartments, that there seemed to be losses in living space for the apartment (law of averages and whatnot).

I had made another comment on that /c/FuckCars thread that calculated that if all of the homes had 1-car garages (which is not uncommon for a lot of dense low-density suburbs), then the homes would be 1740 SqFt with the garage / 1500 SqFt Livable, and the apartments would be 1009 SqFt livable. So a 33% loss of livable space in the image with what I would consider a reasonable assumption.

MrMusAddict,

Assuming the needs of a living space is the same across both populations, this graphic seems disingenuous. The pixel count of the apartment suggests it could fit 6½ of the homes per floor. Across 9 floors that’s 58 homes worth of square footage.

I assume the homes have garages, which would not account for living space. But garages don’t account for 42% of a homes’ size.

MrMusAddict,

For that to be true, you’d have a 2-car garage attached to at most 400 SqFt of living space…

Or in other words, for a home with a reasonable 1500 SqFt of living space, you’d need at least an 8 car garage…

MrMusAddict,

Then you’d be closer to genuine compared to what this graphic shows.

MrMusAddict,

True, but what I’m saying is that there are losses in livable square footage represented in the apartment. A home’s SqFt excludes the garage, so a 1500 SqFt home is actually 1740 SqFt with a 1-car garage. I.e. a 1-car garage only takes up 14% of the area underneath a roof of a 1500 Livable-SqFt house. Yet, the represented apartment has lost 42%.

That implies that if the the houses in the picture are 1500 livable square feet, then the apartments are 1009 livable square feet; a ⅓ loss in livable area.


<span style="color:#323232;">Apartment Complex = 58 Homes' worth of area including garage (1,740 × 58 = 100,920 SqFt)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">100,920 / 100 apartments = 1,009 SqFt per apartment
</span>
MrMusAddict,

One thing I can say so far after a few hours is that their advertising department and Inon Zur did a masterful job capturing a whimsical aesthetic that nostalgically reminds me of some educational TV space shows like Cosmos.

Now that I’m playing the game, it feels significantly more clunky than that, and I haven’t gotten as immersed into that aesthetic as I had hoped. Really just FEELS like Fallout in space so far, which is a bit disappointing.

There’s also significantly more load screens than I had hoped. I’ve been spoiled by No Man’s Sky, thought we’d be getting some seamless transitions to planets and cities. Seems bizarre that we just fast travel through the starmap.

MrMusAddict,

I can attest that my comment was made in isolation. I intentionally didn’t look at conversations or reviews and wanted a fresh experience all to myself. So I’m not parroting or trying to push some negative narrative.

Now that I’ve slept on it, I’m going to dive back in with my expectations reduced, and I’m hoping I’ll have lots of fun with it.

MrMusAddict,

The reduction in save file size is appreciated, but unfortunately it appears to be rather minimal. Just tested it on a couple of saves - after loading an existing file and immediately savings, looks like it went down from

  • End of Act 2 = 12.1MiB → 11.3MiB
  • Middle of Act 3 = 30.8MiB → 29.8MiB

So, only a 1MiB reduction it seems… So, still need to manage like 15 GiB of save files, lol

MrMusAddict,

Eh, yes and no. It seems to be roughly a 5% reduction in size. So that means that you’re only getting 1 extra save every 20. I was hoping for it to closer to halved, or more.

MrMusAddict,

Disqualifying a candidate is the intended legal protection. Unfortunately, I’m not sure that will ever be used effectively if it’s not done to Trump.

MrMusAddict,

Rioting will come and go. Assuming a disqualification is recognized by enough people, then the noise makers will go back into the woodwork for a time.

There’s a lot of misguided people out there who would vote for Trump if he was on a ballot but would not start a civil war if he was not.

I feel like it’s true to say that we are the closest we’ve been to a civil war since the last, but that doesn’t mean that the risk of civil war is high.

MrMusAddict,

I’ve had the original Pixel, the Pixel 4a 5G, and the Pixel 7a.

The only reason I ditched my 4a 5G was because my cell service seemed to be degrading (which was odd, because it was 5g).

Now that I have the 7a, I can honestly say I’m disappointed in its battery life. My 4a 5G could last 36 hours on a charge, even 3 years into ownership. My 7a seems to get down to 15% consistently by the time I get to bed each day.

MrMusAddict,

Definitely ironic to me that there’s so much fear about EV batteries spontaneously combusting. And in the end, one of the largest recalls for spontaneous combustion is from an oil regulator in an ICEV 😅

MrMusAddict,

I was just going to say! Jura is Swiss. How is it not on this Swiss website 😅

MrMusAddict,

It’s because to Americans (including myself), .com is the US domain.

There’s google.com and google.de. There’s amazon.com and amazon.co.uk, etc.

.us is reserved for government’s sites by social convention. Someone can have a private .us site, but it’s a bit odd that they didn’t just use the .com.

MrMusAddict,

That’s not a shower thought you braindead, try hard, complete waste of a human… Get off of here; there’s no room for idiots here. Reported.

JK, just thought I’d channel my inner rage-commenter for old times sake. Welcome 😄

What should I do about cracks in the foundation/crawl space? (lemmy.world)

Newer home owner here. I have these cracks on the foundation of the house. Behind them is a crawl space open to dirt. How should I fix or address these? Do they need to be fixed? I try and DIY as much as I can so don’t be afraid to suggest a DIY solution. I’m also not above getting professional help, I just haven’t had to...

MrMusAddict,

It’s because Lemmy strips EXIF data. Depending on the phone, rotations are only saved in EXIF data as opposed to saving a new image.

Do y'all pretend not to notice when the DM fudges something to keep your character alive?

Sometimes I can tell when my current DM fudges a roll to miss an attack or reduce damage. He has a tell in the specific way he pauses and breathes before announcing the roll, then tries to hurry to the next turn, which only seems to happen when someone is in a life-or-death scenario, but “luckily” survives....

MrMusAddict,

FYI to any GM who wants the best of both worlds; fudge the DC and roll out in the open. BBEG normally has a +9 to attack? Well, now he has a +2.

Still won’t save people from any super high rolls, but at least you can (secretly) decrease the risk while keeping tensions and attentions high.

I'm new to OSM and have some basic questions about editing

Hello everyone. I’ve just started the adventure of contributing to OSM and have questions. What is the etiquette when it comes to creating “areas”? As in, for example, a Walmart. Do you create an area around the entire property and level it as retail? And then the building. Do I call the building itself “Walmart” or do...

MrMusAddict,

I’m not sure if there are different etiquettes for different local regions. But for my area, all areas are exclusively just around the contiguous businesses’ buildings themselves.

If the building is multi-business, where each address is leased to a separate company, the area is placed around the entire building and not assigned to any specific business. Unless the building belongs to a company and there are other businesses inside, such as a Walmart with a McDonalds inside (which would be an area for Walmart, and a pin for McDonalds).

MrMusAddict,

My understanding is that it depends on how many services are offered at a particular business/building (think of how many different search results you might get for a single address on Google).

  • For example, Walmarts often have garden sections/entrances, a tire/lube section, etc. Each of these might pop up with their own contact information on a Google search. So in this case, I would put an area around the entire building and give it the top-level Walmart information. And then, pins for the Garden center, Tire center, Pharmacy, McDonalds, etc.
  • However if there’s a building that houses a single business/service, a pin is preferred I think. And then just a building area around the structure. For example, a Taco Bell would likely be in its own building, and they only provide one service / only one search result. So use a pin for the Taco Bell, and then draw a Building area around the structure.
  • And then when there are multiple businesses that are connected to each other, use pins for the businesses, and a Building area for the structure.
MrMusAddict,

I would avoid duplicating information for both the pin & area. Some maps that use OSM’s business data will show multiple potential destinations if a driver were to try and route to it. “Mexican Fast Food Restaurant” is generic enough that it’s totally fine, but I wouldn’t fill in the specifics about it being a Taco Bell (save that for the pin).

Has anyone used or contributed to OpenStreetMap?

I’ve tried using it over the years but I never liked it because there was no information. So last night I looked at my local city and there is almost no information at all. I spent a few hours last night adding buildings and restaurants and removing incorrect items. It was actually kind of fun and therapeutic and I plan to do...

MrMusAddict,

ABRP (ABetterRoutePlanner, the best routing software for EVs) uses OSM. FYI for any EV owners.

I update OSM all the time. Agreed it’s super therapeutic!

MrMusAddict,

Are your signals directly before/after the stations? Or, are they closer to the forks?

New to this game, and recently finished my first little factory to have a proper building and a little bit of decoration instead of just being haphazardly placed temporary structures. (pawb.social)

This little iron refinery probably isnt much to look at for experienced players, but Im pretty proud of it. has 2 miners on a pair of pure iron deposits behind the structure feeding into the 8 smelters inside, divided into 2 different output locations because the best conveyors I currently have can only handle half it’s...

MrMusAddict,

I don’t remember if you’re at a place where you have the MAM, Awesome Sink and Awesome Shop unlocked. But you should totally get it ASAP. When I was new I thought it wasn’t very useful, and then after like 40 hours I realized some of my favorite/most-used content is in there, especially if you love to decorate!

It also includes an unlock path for some content that becomes highly convenient in mid/late game.

MrMusAddict,

For me, it was the top google result for “Reddit Alternative”. There was a github post explaining the basics of Lemmy and essentially said if I wasn’t sure where to sign up, just head over to lemmy.world.

Now that I’m here I can safely say the interface feels like an improved old.reddit.com and am quite pleased.

MrMusAddict,

There was a death from a child colliding with another child? Am I reading that correctly?
