Fair. But there's no stepladder that will help you mimic my power of sitting comfortably in trains, planes and busses.

I'm pretty sure my washing machine is the thing that saves me most time. Washing by hand is fucking hard work and very time consuming. I would neither have the time nor the physical endurance to keep all my clothes and household items in a state acceptable to society.

But are you gonna return something for this method??? You said you'd return an integer, yet there is no return statement!

Not only more readable than A and B but I would argue it's also easier to remember who did what a few sentences or paragraphs earlier since Alice and Bob invoke slightly less generic mental images than A and B. For example one is a woman and the other one is a man, maybe even some person or character you know.

And now that I'm thinking about it, the different gender also makes it easier to keep track of who does what because different pronouns are used (at least in English and many other languages).

I can't believe that no one has mentioned the famous shower orange yet. On Reddit there is a whole subreddit dedicated to it.

A cold orange in the shower is perfect – it's refreshing, it smells great and you don't have to deal with the usual mess of eating an orange.

Also: cleaning. I've had flatmates who managed to take the same time for cleaning the bathroom or the kitchen and yet it somehow still wasn't clean.

Ich denke mir: wenn es gut genug für Lessing war, ist es gut genug für mich.

Ein Übersetzer muß sehen, was einen Sinn macht. (Lessing, Briefe, 1760)

Bin generell auch kein Fan von präskriptiver Sprachkritik und von dieser Verteufelung von Anglizismen. Klar, man sollte es nicht unbedingt übertreiben. Aber warum genau sind Anglizismen cringe, aber wenn man mit Fremdwörtern, die aus dem Lateinischen oder Französischen stammen, um sich wirft, ist man eloquent?

Remember those stupid people in the past, drinking lead-poisoned water? At least we could just stop using lead in pipes when we found out it's bad for us. Good luck finding anything to ingest without microplastics.

KDE Connect

I can share files, links and clipboard items between my phone and my computer. Use my phone as remote control while watching stuff. I see phone notifications on my computer and don't miss calls when my phone is in silent mode while I'm at my PC. It has made my life so much smoother.

I have selected Subscribed as the default in my General settings:

When switching from my instance (feddit.de) to the Everything feed, I end up in Subscribed no matter which option I choose in the menu shown below. This is expected behaviour if I select Subscribed but not for Local or All. With pictures:

Choosing one of these

Also leads to this result

I used Subscribed as an example, but the same thing happens with Local or All as default, then Local or All will be shown respectively.

The weird thing is, it only happens switching from my instance, not if I was in one of the lemmy.world feeds or already in Everything (so selecting the intended option again a second time works, but I guess that's not how it's meant to work).

Or being able to breathe normally when you don't have a cold.

I kinda can't see many women wanting to share any contact information with the random creepy stranger sitting opposite them on the train.

I just tried to delete my display name in the account settings and it didn't work. I deleted the name in the box and pressed the save button at the bottom. Then I returned to my profile and the display name was still there. Refreshing and reopening the app didn't change that. Returning to the account settings, the display name was back in the box. I tried several times with the same results. Changing the name does work, but removing it doesn't. I thought at first it might just not be possible in Lemmy, but I successfully removed it in Jerboa.

As a former rif user, I really miss being able to see where a text hyperlink will take me without having to actually follow that link. It helped me avoid websites I don't want to visit (for example because they are full of trackers or I already know there is a paywall).

In rif tapping a link opened a pop up showing the linked URL and the options to share, copy or go to that URL. But I can see how other people might dislike that extra step to follow a link, so maybe there are other options like only long tapping on a link showing the URL.

Or is there already a way to do this and I'm just ignorant?
