To me, it seems objectively easier to pull into a parking space forward and then back out of the space when you are ready to leave. You don’t have to line up with the lines while driving backwards, and it’s easier to keep from hitting other cars as well. So why back in? To me, the only advantage I can think of is that you...
So growing up, I had this idea that the American dream was about that if you put in an honest amount of work, you would be rewarded with a good life. This would mean you would be able to take care of yourself and your family, afford a car and a house. In my view, working one job would probably be enough....
Red wants to ban abortion for more cheap labor, blue wants immigrants for more cheap labor. Both sides fuck the working class. Welcome to corporate merica, where the laws are written by corporations and the ultra wealthy
How do you ban nicknames? What if they just state this is the name I prefer to be called? People named William being called will or bill, is that a nickname? Why are Republicans so damn stupid? Mfers trying to block porn hub like most the Internet isn’t filled with porn.
I’ve tried Google’s Messages for Web, Microsoft’s Phone Link, and KDE’s Connect. They all seem to have the same problem: they lose connection constantly and have to be unpaired and re-paired. Is this a problem inherent to the way that Android works? Has anyone managed to solve it, or is there a setting to fix it?...
Are you trying from your current number? There’s apps like textnow that just let you pick a number and text. Also I have Google voice on an old number I use to have. That has all the same stuff as well.
I am currently an IOS user, however, as the title suggests, I wish to switch to android. This is because I would prefer to use free software and not be locked into the apple ecosystem. That being said I am already locked into apple and would like to know how anyone else here has managed the switch....
Welcome to the world of Sd cards and downloading what ya want. There’s google drive. Idk what apple home is cause i despise Macintosh, but there’s Chromecast and that stupid Alexa thing.
I’d guess the simple answer may be that people don’t care/know, but for those that have ditched Facebook for whatever reason, yet still use Instagram, it’s a little surprising....
Why would I care if my phone folds. Id rather have no crease in my screen. But I don’t drop my phones often, is that the point of it folding? Cause it getting wider and shorter doesn’t necessarily make it more convenient
I recently moved to California. Before i moved, people asked me “why are you moving there, its so bad?”. Now that I’m here, i understand it less. The state is beautiful. There is so much to do....
Curious to know, I’d heard “lemming” used in a semi derogatory way, since “a person who unthinkingly joins a mass movement, especially a headlong rush to destruction” is the dictionary definition. It seems to be the first thing to come to mind as to what you’d call a Lemmy user....
When I used reddit, I hardly ever felt the need to call anyone redditers? Do people that use Twitter call themselves twats? Cause they should. Damn the Faceboomers too.
YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

Jerboa seems to be wonky atm, but when it does work, is there a way to add it to my communities? Though when I click that now, I can’t see all the ones I’ve subbed to anymore

Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit age-inappropriate. Any suggestions from the community? (gameranx.com)
Edit: Daughter is only 5 so she’s unlikely to play much but she watches me and as long as it’s not too violent, it should be fine
People who back into parking spots: Why?
To me, it seems objectively easier to pull into a parking space forward and then back out of the space when you are ready to leave.

Did the "American dream" change over time, or was it just my interpretation of it?
So growing up, I had this idea that the American dream was about that if you put in an honest amount of work, you would be rewarded with a good life.

Are there any good apps for texting on a computer?
