Carter, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

Neither. I’ve never liked the feel of a watch.

kemsat, in What is the most terryifying siren noise?

The air raid sirens

shinigamiookamiryuu, in Where do you go for gaming news?

If I have to, Google Alerts.

Nemo, in Where do you go for gaming news?

I don’t go anywhere for gaming news. Anything cool in gaming will still be here in a couple years.

Linux admin course: Install Gentoo

Really just start by installing a distro you’re interested in, learn how to set up a grid of terminals as your desktop background, then get in to doing any task you would normally through the terminal. What got me first interested in using linux years ago was the way you could make it look cool and messing around with different desktop environments, and I ended up being a unix admin for over a decade and run it at home wherever possible. I’d definitely do the self-exploration route, just find cool things you want to do on linux as inspiration and go for it. The great thing about linux is you can personalize it so it embodies whatever you love most about computers.

If you’re doing this for potential career that’s different, you’ll want to learn more about managing daemons and security groups, disk provisioning, configuring services like httpd ssh autofs etc. Then get in to things like ansible and remote config/monitoring. At least from my experience, it’s gonna depend on the employer. Kubernetes and enterprise containerized app solutions is what I’d be learning if I was about to enter the field again.

Songar87,

I love those guys!

logicbomb, in How long is a wound considered open?

If your friend is actually a germaphobe, then just because something is safe, that doesn’t mean they won’t worry about infection.

Yes, a germophobe won’t be swayed by facts or logic.

lillardfair,

Agreed, but I am. Some of the specific points of the concern were not easily searchable.

intensely_human,

A phobia is an unusually high level of salience applied to the fear generated by an object.

It has nothing to do with an inability to see logic.

A germophobe is extremely motivated to avoid germs. In the service of that mission they are perfectly capable of seeing and using logic.

Usernameblankface,

Hmm. So a germaphobe could learn that there aren’t germs on a particular surface or watch it be thoroughly cleaned, and that help them feel better. But, I could not convince them that a surface that is known to have germs is harmless.

Am I understanding this right?

conciselyverbose,

A phobia is defined by being irrational.

Simply being terrified isn't a phobia if you have a valid reason to be terrified.

Nobody likes pc gamer anymore?

DeathWearsANecktie, in Where do you go for gaming news?

Lemmy these days. If it’s significant enough for me to care it’ll probably be one of the top posts.

puppy, in Where do you go for gaming news?

IGN for trailers. Gamer Nexus for hardware related things and benchmarks.

ramble81, in How long is a wound considered open?

Wounds heal from the inside out. Once bleeding stops it means that it is effectively “closed” as the inside is no longer leaking out. The rest of that is just the layers of skin repairing itself from the bottom to the top.

So as others have said, when it stops bleeding is when it’s “closed”.

lillardfair,

Solid explanation! Thanks

When it’s dry

A wound is open for as long as it’s bleeding. For something like a papercut, this should be just a few minutes for most healthy adults. If you mess with the scab, the wound can be re-opened, though.

when can you resume normal activities

As long as you’re not actively bleeding and take the smallest precautions (wear a bandaid), you should be able to resume these within minutes

lillardfair,

Thanks, this is how I’ve always operated, but the person I’ve debated this with is so entrenched it makes me wonder if I’ve just been sloppy and getting lucky.

illi, (edited )

Curious what your friend thinks on this topic, actually

theKalash, (edited ) in How long is a wound considered open?

I’d consider it closed once it’s clotted.

When can you resume normal activities

After a papercut? Immediately.

Clbull, in What's your favorite compilation album?

International Superhits was a really good Green Day album. Only thing I’d really change though is add 86 (from Nimrod) to it.
