My roommate stomps around like he’s a 600lb land whale. He’s like 140lb. I’m a bigger dude and sometimes people don’t even hear me coming. Be considerate and walk like a normal person
I’d say luck will sometimes make you rich, and being good at what you do will sometimes make you rich. Being good at what you do and also lucky has more of a chance of making you rich
It’s *usually not entirely luck, you generally have to sort of know what you’re doing

I’ve found it great for tracking down specific things in libraries and databases I’m not terribly familiar with when I don’t know the exact term for them
Uh. There are plenty of things that tons of people know about, and plenty of things that only one country is aware of. You’ll never know until you ask.
WebP is also great for doing animations with transparency on mobile. Transparent video is barely supported and gif is terrible. WebP is really the only option
I use any clear gel, currently Old Spice. I haven’t found a single “normal” deodorant that doesn’t leave white shit on my shirts, so clear gel it is.
As for shower gel, I just use a bar of soap. Anything is fine. What you should be really worried about is your shampoo and conditioner. Don’t use either of them daily. Don’t get that bullshit 2-in-1. Most people use them wrong, too.
I stopped using Dr Squach when I found out their toothpaste omits Flouride for REasOnS. Fuck them. Their deodorant also got mushy quickly, omits important ingredients, and left stains on my shirts. I can’t trust them to make anything other than their bars of soap, and I’d switch that out if I found a good alternative to their coffee scented soap (🤤)
Having been to the UK and Germany, it’s incredibly convenient and much quicker than driving in many cases. I’ve used the metro where I live and it’s also much quicker, the only issue is the closest bus stop is 20 minutes away by foot. That’s easy to fix though.
Oh sure, I agree that it’s not always perfect, but neither is driving. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been randomly stuck in gridlock because someone got in a crash on the freeway.
The issue here is entirely that there is no choice that can be made. You either drive, or you don’t go anywhere. I don’t want to need a car, I want to want a car. Cars are convenient, but when they’re required to do literally everything then they’re a massive inconvenience.
If I was able to make a choice, I could share a car with someone else. As it stands, we both have to own one.
Oh sure, obviously people like cars, but in the cities we’d park and switch from car to rail because it’s significantly faster. I also stayed in the city for a couple of weeks and didn’t need a car at all.
Compare that to the US where you need a car or you die, even in the city, and it’s not even a contest.
Not exactly doable since living spaces legally must have egress windows, and shopping malls… Don’t really have many outer walls for that compared to the amount of space internally they have
Houses should not be investments. They break down and should depreciate like any other physical asset. If you built your retirement solely on your house then that’s nobody’s fault but your own.
Cars are investments for banks too, but I’m specifically talking about buyers. Selling a house for more than you bought it is the most absurd thing I’ve ever seen, and that’s coming from someone buying a house as we speak. I should not be able to sell this thing for 2x its value in ten years.
Anything is better than nothing. Besides, it’s still useful because you can see where the original link was copied from, and you still have the referrer header
They’d absolutely 100% be losing money with a $2 ad free tier. Ads make significantly more than that per user per month. Same with your “”“solution”“” for higher res video. Bandwidth is goddamn expensive.
Nebula can only afford to do that because basically nobody who subs to nebula actually watches the videos on it. They did a video about their revenue model and people treat it as a way to support the creators, not to actually watch content
Which shitshow? Imo that’s like saying the internet is forever stained by whatever “shitshow” there was. It’s just a technology, there are good and bad applications
Oh sure I’m not a huge fan of the GPU shortages, though very few crypto things need them anymore
a solution for a non-existing problem
Depends entirely on where you live and if you trust your government, but yes the USA and most Europen countries are fine in general. I personally just prefer anything that can be decentralized. That’s why I’m on Lemmy, after all, haha
I’m not really certain what value nebula provides other than some creators uploading occasional content exclusively on nebula. Without nebula they’d just… Upload it to YouTube, which is free, so I’m not sure what the difference is
Curious what people here think about Mozilla CEO Mitchell Baker’s statement in Google’s anti-monopoly trial-. She claims that Firefox uses Google as its default search because users prefer it, not because of payments from Google.
DDG doesn’t really compare to Google search results. I can hardly find anything I’m looking for when it’s pretty much always on the first page of Google
JWST isn’t going in circles, it’s orbiting the sun. If you look at it relative to that, then it looks more like a sine wave rather than going in circles. However from the perspective of the earth, it looks like it’s going in circles
Yeah but if it gets lost, they have to replace it, and if they leave it in a terrible place that’s ripe for theft I can claim I never received it. Stealing from multi-billion dollar corporations is always morally correct. Plus, I get free shit out of it and they stop doing that pretty quickly :)

The world has been pretty shit for the entirety of history. Working conditions are better than they ever have been. People make more than they ever have. Crime is dropping year-over-year.
Arguing that this is occuring because everything is getting worse is just completely and utterly wrong. Quality of life is increasing greatly for the average person.
The redirect thing is definitely just Firefox being weird. It’s generally a basic redirect that triggers a return-to-app, and Firefox isn’t following the redirect properly
