Idk if my answer counts here, I technically have a “living room” in my flat but I’ve got it set up as an office. So, nowhere else for the TV to go except my bedroom.

If I had space to put it in my living room, I’d probably still want a smaller one in my bedroom. There are some YT channels I love watching before falling asleep.

It’s a lot busier and there are more communities, which I’m thankful for. When I first joined I was pretty much always a handful of posts away from being “caught up”.

Nobody else mentioned DuckDNS. It’s free and has worked great for me for years.

You’ll need to install a client that syncs/auto-updates your public IP, then pretty much never touch it again.

My instance has downvoting disabled and (I think) also does not federate downvotes. So 0/default is as low a comment score as I’ll ever see!

I aspire to this level of ignorance - must be quite comfortable.

Also a software eng (for now), genuinely thinking of starting my own barbershop lmao.

The “every copy of Mario 64 is personalised” is a really old creepypasta / meme that was definitely a thing before most zoomers were active on the internet.

And the PTSD thing is just stupid, sorry.

Coming from Mr. Market Manipulation lmao.

Distraction from the Epstein files, amongst other things. I straight up call this the Epstein war.

Congratulations!!! Glad I could be of some help. Enjoy :)

This is not the reason. There are US bases in the UAE.

My body runs like an oven when I’m asleep. To that end, I have the heating off by the time I’m in bed (winter), and if the air still isn’t crisp enough, I’ll open the window a crack.

In the warmer months I straight up cannot sleep if the windows are closed.

Edit: forgot to mention that I am in the UK

Not really, aside from sometimes taking short breaks when the notification for maintenance comes up. I ignore it most of the time and do it a bit later.

Don’t mind at all! I’ve had my OLED for about 5 months now, and I use it a ton - about 60 hours a week combined across work and personal use.

Most decent OLEDs come with built-in protective features.

Mine notifies me that it’s due for “pixel refresh” (a 5 minute sequence where it looks like it’s off) every 4 hours of continuous use. I either let it do it and take a break, or it’ll just do it the next time I turn off my display.

There are other mechanics it uses to prolong its lifetime and prevent burn-in, e.g. my display is actually slightly larger physically than it’s reported resolution, and if you look at it very closely, it actually slowly moves the output from my PC around the extra space 1 pixel row/col at a time. So no UI elements will ever stay on the exact same pixel all the time.

I’ve never had to worry about burn in myself; I think the norm is that OLEDs largely take care of themselves now.

I think this is about how much racism and prejudice Muslims experience across campuses, rather than about how accepted the faith/religion itself is across campuses. They’re different things.

Not that big of a deal IMHO; it’s what verification is for, unlike X’s blue check model.

Obligatory fuck ICE.

I’m liking COSMIC better than GNOME, personally. Not sure why you are mad that something else exists?

Thank you. Honestly I don’t have an ideal answer for you. I would have said the same thing (“women”), although I see why people take issue with it.

I think “people who can get pregnant” is marginally better than “people who get pregnant”.

I love this comment so much you have no idea
