I hate autocorrect in general. It doesn’t understand the concept of multiple languages in the same text, it doesn’t understand dialects and sometimes it even tries to correct words that are written correctly. One of the first things I turn off on every new device

I hate this message

I keep my journal analog, I feel more comfortable writing my thoughts on paper, because I don’t trust modern tech enough to not upload it to some server without my consent. Having said that, I do like my smartphone. I’ve just setup Joplin with my own server for taking notes and sketches on the go.

If the pages don’t have any lines, how do keep your text straight? If I write on paper without any guides, my text is always crooked. I have a small spiral bound notebook with little dots on the pages as guides.

Does it even make a custom sound? I thought it would just use the default notification sound

Wait, the “All” feed has an end? I need to step up my game

Hi, I’m one of the new subscribers. Thank you for all your work in this community.

As for your question, I probably wouldn’t use the power, but that’s because I only write things in my journal that I want to remember. For me, the journal is a place full of good and positive memories.

Cool, I also joined recently and I find Lemmy to be much nicer than reddit. Every community seems just more positive.

But there are many people here that want this to be the next reddit and that worries me a little. Every now and than, when I scroll through the feed, I see a post that reminds me of the bad old times on reddit. Thankfully it doesn’t get as much engagement as on reddit, and the responses are a lot more reasonable.

But I have to say: if you want this platform to be reddit, and you succeed, you’ve just rebuild the platform you were running away from. That should not be the goal

I’ve just set up Wireguard, so I can access my home network from everywhere, but the old laptop that I wanted to use as a server has just quit. So now I have to find a different machine

This is such a silly idea. One thing that many tech companies seem to forget nowadays: software needs to be predictable. If I subscribe to a channel, I expect the system to notify me about new uploads. If it doesn’t, people will assume that it doesn’t work. This is the reason why I’ve cancelled my YouTube Premium subscription: Youtube thinking it knows better than me.

I couldn’t be bothered to regulary take down my doorbell to charge it. I’d probably tell people to just text me, when they’re at the door.

I don’t see the problem. Mint is delicious

Wow, for some people (me included) it’s hard enough to even keep a plant alive. Cross breeding them is next level

When I read that title, I thought this was going to be a horror story 😄

Gedit was my main text editor for years. I also used it for work. It has all the basic features that you need for coding. For everything else I use the terminal.

We’ve had no heat at the beginning of the week, thankfully that got fixed today. Had to take a cold shower yesterday :-D And now the supply valve for the washing machine started leaking. So yeah, a bit stressful, but that’s life. It could be worse.

My phone may change the time automatically, but my brain doesn’t 😐

I use k3b for ripping and kid3 for editing metadata

I also use Rhythmbox, the UI is clean and simple. Other music players either are too complicated (UI has too much clutter, play queues) or want to automatically import all audio files in my home directory into the library, which is annoying. But to be fair, I haven’t tried a lot of other players, because I’m happy using Rhythmbox.
