Meh, if the law permits that cats may free roam, which they do in Sweden, I’ll let my cat outside.

I tend to buy the last years iPhone when I get a new phone, it is cheaper and has less bugs.

I am still on the iPhone 12 mini

In my 2021 Seat Leon the controls for defogging the windscreen and the heated rear window (both essential in Sweden) are placed on a cluster of touch buttons below and to the left of the steering wheel.

It is insane, you have to take you eyes off the road and lean forward to press them.

Also, to activate the seat heater, you need to access the climate panel on the infotainment, so you loose the view of any CarPlay navigation.

The car has dedicated touch surfaces to change the AC temp, but the main ones are next to the power button touch area for the infotainment, and none of the areas are illuminated.

I like my car, it is fun and comfortable, but the overreliance of touch controls is infuriating at times.

I have never bought a new phone every year…

I tend to use mine until it’s EOL or until the battery is unusable.

So far I normally get 4-5 years out of my phones.

“It’s not the best choice, it’s Spacer’s Choice!”

I don’t have a pet right now, but when I grew up we had an amazing black cat with thick but short fur and tuffs of hair on her ears.

Anyway, she always wanted to drink water from the shower when she was thirsty, this despite having a full water bowl.

It would get to the point where she would come into your room and get your attention and lead you to the shower and look at it and then at you until you turned it on to wet the floor so she could drink.

She was absolutely crazy for my mom’s apple pie, it was the only time she ever jumped up on the living room table when we all sat around it, just to get a bite of apple pie, she knew very well that she wasn’t allowed to be on the table, yet the allure of the apple pie was too strong…

She was an amazing huntress, there were days when she came home with two fieldfares that she had killed, one time when she had been out all night (cats are legally allowed to free roam in Sweden) we opened the door and there was a tail from a squirrel laying on the porch, she was so effective that the birds posted lookouts for her and dive bombed her with birdshit.

She never made a fuzz when mom had to wash her after she had been shat on, to the point where she stayed in the bathtub and waited for my mom to get a towel to dry her off.

She hated being in your lap and would jump off at the first chance, but she always liked being where the rest of the family was, if we were watching a movie on the TV she would come down and lay on the rug in the living room with us.

Before we got her, I didn’t realize that cats could hiccup, I saw it once or twice, I heard a small hiccup sound and her entire body shook slightly and she looked increadibly confused when it happened.

My Panasonic Lumix S5 camera, it has been a huge upgrade from my old GX80.

A proper digital camera has had a huge impact on my life, they have made me go and see places just because I wanted a photo.

They have really improved my quallity of life.

I want an interesting operating system as much as I want to live next to an interesting nuclear powerplant.

Operating systems should be boring, they should just handle basic tasks and support whatever program I am running on top of them.

Calling Recall interesting just makes me want it less, it is one more huge vector of personal information that can and will be mined or breached and then mined.

In most of Europe, tomorrow evening most people will go to the graves of their former relatives and light candles, it is quite beutiful.

I am considering bringing my trusty kerosene fuled storm lantern for both ambience and finding my way in the dark chruch yards.

I learned my lesson twice back in 2016…

The day before Brexit I predicted that it would be a nothing burger.

Then in november, I predicted that Hillary would win, because Trump was obviously shit.

I have stopped predicting elections now…

Ok, I won’t, thanks!

Honestly though, they should have added Qi charging to the magic mouse, as well as magnets to you could easily place it on the back of the iMac and have it charging when you leave the computer…

It would be an electric standig desk as well, battery powered obviously, and you would need to flip the table top 90 degrees up sideways to recharge the battery every other month.

Yeah, I can see that, I was just trying to say that there Mac followed a standard

In 5 years:

Youtube tests small ads in the top corner during video playback.

In 10 years:

Youtube tests small increase in size of well established corner ads.

In 15 years:

Youtube graciously allows video playback inbetween ads

Desktop macs (not tower macs) has had the powerbutton on the back for decades, it’s fine, bottom is shit though…

Damn, that is some amazing copium…

They had a well established place for the powerbutton, why change it?

As an IT guy, if I worked with Macs this would be terrible to work with

Wouldn’t surprise me if it was the same guy who put the charge port on the magic mouse on the bottom.

That at least has a logical excuse if dumb as hell, this has zero reason to be like this

Wait, WHAT?

They put the powerbutton on the underside?

For fuck sake Apple…

This is a dumb question regardless of if it is asked here or on Reddit.

Lemmings will be biased toward Lemmy, and Redditors will be biased toward Reddit.

The actual phrasing of the post is also dumb, it contains no context, no framing, nothing to add any kind of discussion to the topic.

“Reddit or Lemmy”

If you are talking about size, then Reddit is larger.

If you are talking about the best sysadmin forum, then Reddit is best.

If you are talking about the best discourse, Lemmy is best, as long as you block Lemmygrad, Hexbear and Lemmy.ml.

Op, I am not calling you dumb, I am calling your post dumb, and am making this post to help you make better posts.

I hope you have a good Wednesday!
