  • Why are my matrix/element push notifications so delayed?

    Jump

  • Is element on the main profile or are you waiting for notifications from secondary profiles? Also, might not be related, but my messaging notifications w/ GrapheneOS has gotten worse in the past week or so (Google Messaging hasn't always alerted to new messages until I open the app and it pulls them) so it might be a Graphene thing as well.

  • President Biden commutes sentence for former Dixon, Ill. Comptroller Rita Crundwell, who embezzled over $53M

    Jump

  • Not a huge fan of Biden's presidency, but it sounds like his commutations were based on whether society deemed them eligible for home release during covid. I'm assuming he didn't individually look at all 1,500 other commutations. Unless I'm reading it wrong, society deemed her low risk and she has been out of prison since 2021.

    Definitely sloppy tho.

  • Can anyone suggest/comment on any deals for cellphone plans or thoughts on T-Mobiles cost?

    Jump

  • Cannot recall. Just remember that texts/calls were impossible so I couldn't link up w/ people I was looking for.

  • OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji found dead in San Francisco apartment

  • RIP. Hope that his whistleblowing doesn't end up falling on deaf ears

    What are your parlor tricks?

    Jump

  • I popped and locked back in the day and can do the wave w/ my arms. I end up doing it on like 80% of first dates that are going well.

  • Hardware recs for newb? Please.

    Jump

  • If you are concerned about HDDs failing, I would try the nvme instead. For me, I have a 1tb external HDD connected to my server-laptop. It's definitely an eye-sore but my server is basically on the shelf out of the way and I SSH into the server 99% of the time unless it goes down.

    The HDD is not blazingly fast by any means, but I stream jellyfin videos which is great. There is maybe a 1-2 second pause before a movie starts, but there are no noticeable buffering after, even @ 1.75 speed

  • AntennaPod creates yearly summary on my device

  • Here's my results from PocketCasts. Niche AF I'm guessing

  • 'The Rest is History' is how I've been getting my world history. Great banter from two British hosts

  • Hardware recs for newb? Please.

    Jump

  • If you have a spare laptop/phone, I'd find a good tutorial and start there and then venture towards new hardware as your needs require it. Personally, I bought a (used) laptop when my main laptop wouldn't boot, but then I wiped my malfunctioning laptop and it started working again. I've been using the used laptop as a server ever since.

    Personally, I have yet to find something that I couldn't self-host on the laptop and still don't quite grasp why I'd need a heavier-powered device.

  • Do hand models have "hand shots"?

    Jump

  • Nothing like some crowdsourced help to fine-tune the google search for your kink.

  • low hanging fruit

    Jump

  • Same. I'm on Debian tho so I've got ~6 months until it affects me :D

  • Why does the Music Industry allow Spotify/Apple to profit off of them?

    Jump

  • IIRC, the music industry was in decline long before Spotify was made. The transition period before Spotify was just illegally downloading everything through Limewire/Kazaa/Napster etc.

    Also, the reason podcasts make money is because they can produce something that brings audiences in on a weekly basis. The music industry OTOH has artists that make an album a year or less. It's not as sustainable and it's harder to sell ads against.

    I don't think more segmentation is a wanted solution by consumers either. Consumers would much rather use one app for all platforms than have to buy a different streaming service every time they want to listen to a new album.

  • And surprisingly, only a similar number in the top quartile!

    Jump

  • True.

    I think that as we move towards shorter and shorter clips/tweets, there's an assumed prior context that is often missing. For example, Borat or Stephen Colbert's character on The Daily Show are clear caricatures but when you have a 5-second clip out of context, it actually feeds into the narrative it is ridiculing.

    The same goes for naming cosplaying an elected official.

  • I can't speak to 5G but my Mint 4G service was non-existent when I was at a concert. It was otherwise great the other 99.99% of the time fwiw. Been a user for ~7 years

  • And surprisingly, only a similar number in the top quartile!

    Jump

  • That's the frustrating thing about the current internet climate. In a time when less and less people are interested in researching the backstory of a tweet/policy/person, things like this are shared w/o context. Had to go down a rabbit hole to realize it's a fake satire writer.

  • Will Democrats Let the GOP Gut Trans Health Care? When Trump takes over, Republicans may try to eliminate trans health care in America. Some fear Democrats won't stop them

    Jump

  • How does the duopoly have full control if Republicans have the majority in the House/Senate/Supreme Court?

  • What advertising slogan would you give for Linux?

    Jump

  • Two out of 10 Linux users agree that insert name here is the best distro

    I'm having second thoughts about quitting my current position, I'm scared and I don't understand myself. What's happening to me?

    Jump

  • Your reaction to the uncertainty that comes w/ quitting your job is normal. IMO that is the aspect to investigate and try to accept what is and what isn't within your control
