NemoWuMing,

If you like to play chess, check out www.lichess.org

It’s free and open source, and it’s very easy to find a game there, no matter what level you play.

It doesn’t display annoying ads.

why is it so difficult select text from posts?

Good morning, English isn’t my first language and it happens quie often that I need to select a good chunk of text to translate it with DeepL, why, in often cases, is impossible but select the title of an article that Lemmy’s bot has summarised? I would appreciate, and I am pretty confident I am not the only one, if the...

NemoWuMing,

Boost lets you select and copy text

What hobbies help you minimize or avoid navigating commercialism?

By commercialism, I’m aiming at a mix of spending a lot and sifting through bloated business models (e.g. this or that accessory/equipment, microtransactions, etc.). Feel like many can relate to this sort of commercial fatigue, and yet it creeps even into hobbies where one tries to unwind....

NemoWuMing,

Playing and studying chess, on www.lichess.org. It’s a free open source alternative to the heavily commercial chess dot com.

Learning a new language. Tons of free resources all over the internet

Learning card magic. You can go a long way with just a pack of cards and the 52Kards YouTube channel

Learning to play music. Tons of free resources all over the internet

NemoWuMing,

Study a few pages every day of whatever is not motivating, and keep going for months and months

Have a vision of what you want to do later with that skill (for example "6 months from now, I program an app that can send Morse code through my phone’s flashlight ")

Every day, do the studying chores first, THEN do the fun stuff like playing video games or scrolling through social media. Never the opposite

Spend more time with those that have similar goals

NemoWuMing,

I installed both Connect and Boost, and I use Boost on mobile because I could set to only load small media on mobile.

Each of these apps have their strong points, and they coexist very nicely.

NemoWuMing,

A poster with pictures of airplanes, that you hang up on his playroom wall. And then you look at the planes together and name them every time you visit. That’s awesome fun for a 3 year old.

NemoWuMing,

I add hot pepper powder to the peanut butter

NemoWuMing,

Don’t forget that back in 1998, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms reached a Trade Agreement with the Food & Drug Administration

WASHINGTON, DC—The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms and the Food & Drug Administration reached a formal trade agreement Monday. Under the terms of the deal, the ATF will provide the FDA with alcohol, tobacco and firearms in exchange for equal value in food and drugs.

“My administrative assistants and I were enjoying some of our food the other day when it hit us,” FDA Commissioner Michael Friedman said. “We have tons of food lying around, and tons of drugs, but nothing to drink, smoke or shoot. Then, someone—I think it was [deputy commissioner] Phil [Royce]—suggested we call up those guys at the ATF across town and see what we could get. Turns out, they were ready to deal.”

NemoWuMing,

I was wondering the same for myself and here is a video that helped me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gkD2IGG6Hk

The whole channel is excellent if you are looking for tips on how to dress too.

NemoWuMing,

Tldr: Why does anything cost money? Because someone will pay that amount to purchase it.

NemoWuMing,

A useful mod? Get a battery pack inside your arm, with a couple of usb port openings neatly located on the skin. Use one to recharge your phone, or use the other one to recharge the battery pack itself while working at your desk.

NemoWuMing,

WeChat is an app, but also a platform on which you can add apps made for it.

NemoWuMing,

I looked at Graphene OS and I am interested, but how can I find out if it will run on my old Samsung Galaxy S7?

NemoWuMing,

Thank you for this information! 🙏

NemoWuMing,

In the US, the 12-hour clock format is in widespread use, except in the military. That is why it’s called like that.

NemoWuMing,

Your Samsung calendar app seems to defeat the purpose of an online calendar. I use the Google calendar and everything is syncing across all devices.

NemoWuMing,

I recommend looking for the Michel Thomas Method, as well as Linguaphone AllTalk Method.

NemoWuMing,

Lichess.org is a great place to play chess, or to study it. Free, open source, run by a great team. Highly recommend.

NemoWuMing, (edited )

Samsung is an industry leader when it comes to Android OS and security updates.

Great on them for considering doing the right thing, but they are not much of a leader if they only react after Google announced 7 years of support for the Pixel 8 😂

… Unless they top that with 12 years…

NemoWuMing,

Are they going to finally sync the alarms on the phone and the watch? Can’t be that hard to do…

NemoWuMing,

Just accept that it will be very dated, and if you can look past that, and if you can be 10 years old again, you could love it.

NemoWuMing,

Same

NemoWuMing,

The original “ed” text editor, from 1969 Unix. Everyone should spend a few days trying to get some work done with it, if only to appreciate how we have nicer things now.

NemoWuMing,

The watch doesn’t sync Alarms with my phone? I couldn’t believe it when you mentioned it but a quick google search confirms it: “Alarms set on your phone will no longer sync with your watch. According to Google support, the watch alarms are now supposed to be separate from those on your phone. It’s a curious design choice, but that’s how alarms on the Pixel Watch function for now. Jun 27, 2023”

That seems to defeat the purpose of the Watch.

NemoWuMing,

The bot from the slashdot community nom.mom/c/slashdot is posting good material. I would not like to lose that.

NemoWuMing,

Not a lot of comments in reply to this post, but I hope you keep making them. They are very satisfying to read.

NemoWuMing,

You’re getting upvotes, I think most of us enjoy lurking.

NemoWuMing,

Ah thank you, that fits exactly what happens

NemoWuMing,

Is there something like that for iOS and for Windows too?

NemoWuMing,

Compare with yt-dlp from GitHub. It works from the command line and you can control the quality level you want.

NemoWuMing,

Now that you mention it, I wish I had the same!

NemoWuMing,

Which system do you have, with the NFC quick toggle?

NemoWuMing,

I have a pixel 7 with android 13 and the NFC toggle is not on the quick buttons

NemoWuMing,

I can confirm it’s there on Galaxy S7 with Android 8

NemoWuMing,

The bank is actually looking out for you, this time, lol

NemoWuMing,

Same, I have left it on for now.

NemoWuMing,

Isn’t that the plane that was grounded because it crashed itself a few times? The sales representatives from Boeing must be a lot better than their engineers.

NemoWuMing,

Same. I would love to make a live wallpaper that would move very slowly, just a pixel shift per few minutes, so it would not eat up the battery, and no one would see it move, but every once in a while during the day, it would be different). If it was timed to loop over 24 hours, it could be a sun rising and setting followed by a moon overnight.

NemoWuMing,

My Voyager app looks nothing like this. Settings are at the bottom and I can’t find any bot settings

NemoWuMing,

What are your favorite episodes so far?

NemoWuMing,

It looks familiar to me too. At first I thought about the time traveling shuttle in TNG A Matter of Time, or the tiny ship at the beginning of TNG Conundrum, but it’s not any of those.
