I think you’re projecting a little. People act like this no matter the field. We swim in the tech pool, so we mostly only see the shit floating in our pool.

I can assure you the neighbour’s pool also has their fair share of floaters.

We Aussies just sorta mumble to each other,
'oygarn?
nbadyou?
eh… *shrugs

Anything more than two syllables are not worth saying.

Keywords for people that would like to know more: “sleep hygiene”

Any type of bread following the same standard will fit into a standard toaster.

is how it should be done

No it isn’t.

The whole point of partitions is so you can have multiple things on the same drive. Be them data, swap, or… yes, operating systems.

No take. Only give.

“implementing things in non-standard ways”, have been their modus operandi for about 3 decades now

1. Probably just her actual name. I’m sure the locals didn’t know you as ‘altphoto@lemmy.today’ either.

2. Why is anyone throwing anyone? I didn’t want to watch a morbid video, but should’t she know that she wasn’t attached to anything??

RAM prices exploding only means Apple takes a tiny hit to their profit margin per device, considering how inflated they were in the first place.

Not just folders, every icon has 4-way configurable swipe. I’ve gone a little swipe crazy now. Who needs folders when you can launch 5 different things by swiping a single icon…

Usually it’s the ones that were once a Reddit app, modified to work with Lemmy. I’ve not seen one specifically written for Lemmy/PieFed to not support spoilers.

100 years ago my grandmother ran a whole train station as ‘secretary’, while the ‘station master’ came, smoked, read papers, and pretty much just chilled all day - and getting paid many times her salary.

When they said, “women fought to get paid”, they meant, “getting paid commensurate to their work”. And in many ways, they are still fighting for it.

No, what they’re describing is a False Friend. A very specific type of homophone/graph/nym. They work across languages. And in many cases (though not a hard rule) have close enough meaning/usage that would confuse non-native speakers trying to comprehend things via context.

E.g. A German telling his English friend, “I’ll meet you at the gymnasium”. The sentence is correct, and makes perfect sense to both. But they’ll end up at two different places.

It’s called a cloaca, you uneducated swine!

(Sorry, couldn’t pass on a good streak of online insult throwing)

Many comic artists have side gigs to actually make a living. I could guess what this person does for their day job.

In the context of the richest person on earth saying, “empathy is a weakness”, yes. You’re absolutely right.

I have never accepted this explanation. Yes, using base 12 is logical and well documented. But that means you’ve got 12 on the other hand as well. 144 would’ve made more sense.

‘think with your head and not your heart’

A variation of it, “okay, but do you really need it?” is used in regular rotation in our household. There’s nothing wrong with the saying when used as, “take some time to reflect before making rash decisions”. Though one could argue reflection still takes feelings into account, not putting it aside entirely.

And that RTX 4090 would’ve been pretty sweet. But she’s right, playing my games on ‘low’ doesn’t take away my enjoyment from a game that’s actually good.

I think the board is wrong. The f8 bishop is actually on e8 in the comic, which means the other bishop should be on black - possibly on a7 protecting the knight (can’t see that side of the board).
