I really miss party shuffle. I swear it used to have a feature where other people could add songs to your party shuffle too?

That’s one feature I wish would come back to streaming services

What’s up with audacity? I use it like twice a year so I just download it whenever I need and uninstall it. I don’t really do anything except some incredibly basic things (like record audio, cut segments out, maybe some noise reduction if I’m feeling fancy)

Yeah, in markdown the \ basically means “stop formatting”. It’s nice for more complicated things like math problems but if you don’t know it can be annoying.

The resolution thing is actually almost solved IMO. I used my Quest 3 in AR mode almost every single day and the screens are perfectly fine for reading text or having a video on in the background.

Yeah there’s still some screen door effect but it’s really only noticeable when I look for it, it disappears in normal use.

And I genuinely can’t think of a reason you would need 1000hz displays. Human eyes start to get steady motion at like 50-60 and 90-150 is when the normal eye starts to hit the limit.

you’re a network engineer and the glasses show you on every port which device is connected

Unifi equipment already can sorta do this! The little dot pattern on the screen is an AR code and you can use the app to see this. It’s pretty cool actually. I’ve never actually used it for real work though, I just look at the dashboard on my laptop and find the port that way.

It would be really really cool to be able to just touch the physical port and be able to change the settings in real space with AR glasses though.

Tandoor also supports aliases. I have mine set up so it automatically converts units into imperial (metric) because that’s how I like it.

Trucks are incredibly useful?

It just makes me laugh because they have a “!” At the end of their name. It just looks kinda goofy, kinda like when influencers have sponsored posts and they include the “™” in their copy haha

That being said, PopOS! is actually a great os.

Sure but can you name a single protest chant that fully encapsulates the entire meaning of the movement?

There is an enormous difference between “police should be held responsible for their actions” and “we should have literally 0 police”.

Believe it or not “ACAB” doesn’t mean the latter. Its just a fun little acronym. And just like all fun little acronym or protest chant, it doesn’t encapsulate the entirety of the movement, discussion, or belief(s).

The new ranger is bigger in every dimension than the 1999 F-150

A few years ago Walmart released a line of gaming computers and the ars technica article I saw was titled something like “Walmart released gaming computers and the prices aren’t awful”.

I copied and pasted the title verbatim and the post got downvoted a ton and all of the comments were trying to give me shit for the prices not actually being good (I feel like they were in line with normal prebuilts but oh well).

The Internet is a weird place. And to be honest, since I left reddit and have been on Lemmy I feel like people here vote with passion instead of based on the content of the post/comment a lot more than reddit. Its one of the only complaints I have so far.

who is out stalking cops?

Criminals. Back in the long long time ago I was a minor drug dealer (just weed) but when I would deliver to some of the bigger dealers, like the kind who had whole operations, they would have police scanners going pretty much all the time. It would give them time to dip out before getting pinched.

I could see this. I honestly think chicken wings are better cold too

In the same way that the USPS operates at a loss

In November I somehow convinced a company to hire me as director of IT. Now I have 7 IT techs and 3 software devs under me. I had never been in a management position before (not even fast food or something like that) but it was like a $30k/yr raise so i took it.

I started off wondering how they hadn’t figured out that I had literally 0 idea what I was doing. But I’ve started to realize that nobody in middle management has any idea what they are doing haha.

So, go and lie to interviewers. Worse case you get fired and you can lie to another set of them. Nobody cares and even fewer people actually understand what’s going on.

Australia was really fun because man do they know how to properly roast someone. They’d come up with some of the most creative ways to call me a fuck ass yank and then buy my next beer haha

(Although, I absolutely whooped everyone down there in darts and I’m not even that good haha)

I’ve only met one person from France in my life. It was at a music festival here in the states. I asked him if he knew where a specific stage was and through that thick French accent he said “go fuck yourself” and then walked away.

Obviously a sample size of one doesn’t represent a whole country but yeah.

Ubuntu Server supports Windows Active Directory. I haven’t used it for anything but authentication (and authentication works flawlessly) and some basic directory/share permissions but theoretically it should support group policy too.

It’d be cool if there was a mainstream FOSS alternative though (there might be, I’ve done literally 0 research), but this works okay-ish in the meantime.

But for management of the actual production servers at work I use a combination of ManageEngine (super great and reasonably priced) and Microsoft’s Entra (doesn’t work well, don’t do it)

Its not nearly as Dinky as it looks in this picture. Its almost the entire width of the device. I got to play with it a bit and its actually super stable, its obviously not 100% rigid and personally I wouldnt use it like that because its a bit awkward. But its a really cool device.

Here’s the store page with some more pics of it.
