What Lemmy Client(s) Do You Use? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] minorsecond@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I was on Memmy but it seems to be abandoned so I switched to Avelon. It’s great!

I got a terrible night of sleep and have an interview this afternoon. What are some things I can do to help my brain? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] minorsecond@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I'll take some. I'm already taking it but I'll double up on my dose today.

I'm super drowsy even though I had some caffeine. I'm drinking lots of water and eating healthy foods, but is there anything else I can do in the meantime?

How do you make yourself feel better after a poor night of sleep?

Edit: It went well! The director even said, "we should just hire you now!" However, I have one more panel interview. Time for a nap.

I compete in powerlifting and ham radio when I have the time.

It works decently. I use it.

These shortened summaries are terrible.

I read that a few months ago. Still good!

Yeah if never been interested in Atlas Shrugged, after learning it’s very conservative leaning.

Great suggestions!

I got halfway through this book but sadly it became one of my DNFs.

I'm nearly finished rereading 1984 and my appetite for dystopian books is whetted. What are some other great ones I should check out?

Weird! Memmy seems to remove it.

Are there two autotldr boys and this is the worse one, or am I going crazy? I think the other one has a semicolon in the username.

Yeah going to. They’re already brigading me with downvotes because they can’t handle opposition lol.

What is the +3 next to the comment count? (i.imgur.com)
 

I’ve seen this recently and have been wondering. My guess was that I’ve upvoted this user three other times but that’s probably way off.

Those with parents who hold opposite political views than you, how do you go about disagreeing? (lemm.ee)
 

To be more specific, my parents raised my siblings and me to "respect" them, saying "yes sir, and "no ma'am" to everything they said. Spankings, all of that. Typical super conservative evangelical parents. Before I learned better, I was that way too. I went to college and since then have embraced the left more and more.

They'll say things now and then that are really distasteful politically. Today I made an Instagram post about DeSantis lying about liberal states allowing post-birth abortions and I got several family members railing against me. I'm tired of staying quiet when this happens. I think that, because how my parents raised me, I'm afraid to speak my mind to older family members. Fuck that though.

Has anyone else had this experience? I wonder if therapy would help. I just don't know how to explain it.

Should I enable telemetry? (lemm.ee)
 

I run Gentoo, which has a telemetry use flag. This will enable telemetry for a number of packages.

I hate telemetry on non-FOSS software like Windows, but is there real harm in doing it with FOSS software? I like to think I'd be helping the devs create better software.

Do you enable telemetry? (lemm.ee)
 

Speceficially the telemetry use flag. On one hand, fuck telemetry, but on the other hand, I trust FOSS developers to do the right thing vs the likes of Microsoft and Google.

Will dependency conflicts prevent updates? (lemm.ee)
 

I haven't gotten an update in about a week which is strange for me. I've had this dependency conflict for a while:

WARNING: One or more updates/rebuilds have been skipped due to a dependency conflict:

dev-python/docutils:0

(dev-python/docutils-0.20.1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) USE="" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_11 (-pypy3) - 
   python3_10 (-python3_12)" conflicts with
  <dev-python/docutils-0.20[python_targets_python3_11(-)] required by (dev-python/sphinx-5.3.0:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="-doc - 
   latex -test" ABI_X86="(64)" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_11 (-pypy3) -python3_10"

Would that prevent me from getting updates? I'm able to install things just fine.

How in the world do you get a R720 to fit into rails? (lemm.ee)
 

I hate having to work on my R720 because getting it back into the rails is a major pain in the ass. It barely fits, so I have to wrestle with it for half an hour to get it to fit.

Is there a trick to this?

Anyone else get this?

Read posts aren’t hiding (i.imgur.com)
 

I have the option to hide read posts enabled, but they’re still showing up.

Am I expecting the wrong thing or is there something else I need to do?
