LemmyRefugee, in Low-hanging fruit 🥱

And at the same time, we europeans who have been in the USA (so we just don’t follow what media wants us to think) love so many things in the USA. Are the States flawed? Yes. Are Europeans country flawed too? Absolutely. I don’t like the bullying the world thing, but I’m happy I’m on ‘tesm bullying’ and not ‘team Russia’ or middle east.

Rubanski,

What things do you love the most in America?

dubyakay,

Niagara Falls from the Canadian side.

Wasnt there but I’d love to visit the nationalparks.
The pictures I have seen are just gorgeous.

LemmyRefugee,

Many things. Great things like general kindness of the people, the way the States handle national parks, the mentality of taking responsibility about your own live. And just mundane things like those awesome bbqs!

AngryCommieKender,

The gorgeous natural splendor, that has been turned into a coast to coast shopping mall.

The vast majority of land in the US is still completely undeveloped.

A_L1FE,

You should, it’s a great show if you are not against a realistic version of the injustice league.

tdawg,

“realistic” eh

Think it’s more a blunt commentary on celebrity culture than anything else

LaserTurboShark69,

Is this normal behavior? I have that too but I just assumed I am shy or weird.

Persen,

Or probably autistic.

mofongo,

No I already tested myself.

Persen,

Oh ok.

CliveRosfield,

Ignore the other guy it’s completely normal

CaptPretentious,

I’d say yes. The people you’re close with are the people that you’ve vetted. You have same or similar energy, opinions, humor, etc.

At my age I’m just sick of other people shit. People who are rude, obnoxious, entitled, self-centered, etc… so I more and more resemble the left side.

set_secret, in Low-hanging fruit 🥱

don’t forget the lack of the metric system!

hyperhopper,

That one is fun because you concede most of it but then win an argument that fahrenheit is better (Celsius and fahrenheit are both arbitrary but at least fahrenheit scales itself so the range most people use daily, weather, is 0-100)

brain_in_a_box,

Where the hell do you live that the temperature goes between 0 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit daily?

hyperhopper,

That is not what I mean. I mean in daily life, most temperatures will fall in that range. That does not mean every day you see them all.

brain_in_a_box,

OK, and in daily life most temperatures will fall within 0 to 100C too…

hyperhopper,

Not at all. I have lived in two different time zones where I’m dealing with subzero Celsius temperatures for several months of the year.

brain_in_a_box,

And I have lived in two different time zones where I’m dealing with temperatures over 100F for several months of the year

SimplyATable,

I think he’s missing the important part of that 0-100 scale… It marks fairly decently what isn’t safe for people without proper precautions. I’ve gone out below freezing and while it isn’t pleasant by any mean, you aren’t super fucked until you get super low. Likewise, get above 100 and it quickly stops becoming safe for humans without frequent breaks and such

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Wrong.
A middle eastern dude would tell you a 100 is fine and a northern canadian will probably tell you to stop bothering them because they are turning into a puddle.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

0 is very cold, 100 is very hot. So 50 is perfect room temperature, right?

Nope, you still have to adjust to an arbitary selection of numbers within that range, so it’s not really any more helpful than celcius if you don’t have experience with the scale.

set_secret,

while you’re correct they’re both arbitrary scales and I’ve heard this argument before but still think it’s a dumb argument.

Water freezes 0 water boils 100, i guess it fits the base 10 thing.

I think you feel the human 0 to 100 idea works because it’s what you’re used to. 0 to 40 works fine for me to intuitively know how hot or cold it is becuase it’s what i grew up with too. Neither can be argued that one is more right.

although it really makes sense for the USA to just finally switch because it’s long been decided by the rest of the planet this is the better way to measure things. media.tenor.com/…/simpsons-homer.gif

hyperhopper,

Yes I know that water does certain things at the “nice” numbers in Celsius. Who cares though? What’s so special about water? I’m not boiling water that often, and in my life I’ve never checked the temperature of water when doing so or have had to care about specific numbers then. Of all substances why does water get to be the one we base everything around?

set_secret,

i guess it’s just one of those cool science observations water freezes (and technically melts) at 0 and boils at 100 (at sea level). it fits the base 10 and we just think it’s neat.

i mean probs we should be using degrees Kelvin if we want to be less arbitrary. I’m down for the switch.

    Dude I got fucking livid yesterday because Alt keyboard shortcuts no longer work in Paint.

    You have to interact with the ribbon before the alt key works.

    And then there’s no key shortcut for “Save As” or “Exit”.

    The fuck Microsoft. They weren’t hurting anyone and you’re wrecking 30 years of muscle memory. You know how frustrating that is?

    Sylvartas,

    Haha I ran into this a few months ago. I too was losing my fucking mind over this

    jasondj, (edited )

    Honestly if I hadn’t switched to Linux 10 years ago I would’ve said that this would be the thing to set me off and switch. (This was my work computer, and even though Ubuntu is available, Linux users are second-class citizens in my shop…all sorts of weird issues and not nearly enough support because it’s a very limited offering)

    It’s incredibly frustrating. It’s more than muscle memory at this point, it’s practically instinct. It’s so anti-user and there’s no reason to do it except to bring paint into the fold of all the other ribbon office apps, as if people haven’t been complaining about everything wrong about ribbon for what, 8 years now?

    I mean… disrupting international trade is just asking for trouble.

    Yemen has the right to embargo whoever they want from using their waters.

    drbluefall,
    @drbluefall@toast.ooo avatar
    1. This isn’t Yemen, it’s the Houthis. AFAIK, the internationally recognized State of Yemen isn’t involved.
    2. We’re talking international shipping routes. What the Houthi movement is engaging in is piracy, plain and simple.
    feannag,

    It’s not “their” waters, it’s internationally recognized shipping lanes.

    VictimOfAmerikkka,
    @VictimOfAmerikkka@lemmygrad.ml avatar

    “Internationally recognized” not by Yemen. The Yemeni had no saying on that. That is just imperialist appropriating Yemeni’s waters and then using their influence to validate their claim. What you are spreading is gross imperialist propaganda.

    THE_ANON, (edited )

    Its just halted right ? the ships will be eventually let go they are not looting or attacking them are they ? If just halted i dont think there is need to respond that extremely correct me though

    drbluefall,
    @drbluefall@toast.ooo avatar

    Not halted; The Houthi movement has been firing missiles and sending drones at civilian vessels. They were given fair warning to stop by the coalition members of Operation Prosperity Guardian, and continued to attack anyway.

    VictimOfAmerikkka,
    @VictimOfAmerikkka@lemmygrad.ml avatar

    The Houthis also gave fair warning to the ships to go back and they just turned off their radios and continued anyway to provide aid to a genocidal entity. The Houthis are trying to help Palestine not to be genocided. Any response to a genocidal entity is justified.

    feannag,

    For some additional context, Houthi members have been attacking commercial ships using internationally recognized shipping lanes, and opened fire on US military aircraft. Whether or not the bombing is justified, the narrative that “people are in Yemen territorial waters” is gross misinformation at best.

    Gestrid, in Everything I need is still in in the old settings windows that haven't changed in 23 years

    Remember when they planned to move over all the Control Panel settings to the Settings app?

    In Windows 10?

    cyberpunk007,

    I still extensively use:

    Win+R

    ncpa.cpl

    It’s still the only way I know how to easily and quickly change my NIC settings.

    The worst part is to change some things it adds like an extra 4 clicks to the old method.

    SpaceCadet,
    @SpaceCadet@feddit.nl avatar

    The worst part is to change some things it adds like an extra 4 clicks to the old method.

    And then at the final click, it takes you to that control panel screen anyway lol

    cyberpunk007,

    And this here is the icing on the cake, isn’t it?

    purplemonkeymad,

    Windows 11 had a link to that in under the advanced network options.

    I say had as a recent update just took it away. They added a new advanced settings to replace the network connections part you linked to, but it is still missing options. Almost 10 years of the new settings and still no way to enable split tunneling on a vpn in the new UI.

    BirdyBoogleBop,

    I’m 90% sure that is the only way to change settings past just showing what you are connected to. Does/can anyone actually use settings over the control panel tools?

    cyberpunk007,

    I still don’t know this and we are already talking windows 12 lol

    w2tpmf, (edited )

    You can reduce keystrokes on that. Just tap the Win key instead of Win+R. Type ncpa.cpl and hit enter.

    cyberpunk007,

    If you work on as many servers and desktops as I do, you’ll eventually encounter machines that have slow loading start menus and search, or search the web for some stupid ass reason instead. I’ll save that time with adding R. Still a 1 handed move anyhow

    BaskinRobbins,

    or search the web for some stupid ass reason

    The reason was actually documented at the end of Halo 3; when Cortana got rampancy and subsequently infected all of our windows 10 start menus.

    w2tpmf,

    If you’re such a server and desktop expert, why are you not setting a GPO to disable the start menu web features??

    cyberpunk007,

    If you’re such a server and desktop support expert, how do you gpo random client that call in, or new client and environments when you know nothing about them, or friend and families computers?

    Listen, kid, when you’ve been in the game long enough you’ll come across unique scenarios enough to a point where it is God damn annoying.

    Also who the hell GPOs network settings?

    w2tpmf, (edited )

    Kid. Lol. I’ve been in the game since before the invention of Windows servers

    The start menu searching the web isn’t a network setting. It’s a setting for the behavior of the start menu.

    You change a single flag in the registry on Windows and it tells the Start Menu not to do the behavior of searching the web. The unusual scenario as you cannot it is a common feature that can be turned on and off. The GPO lets you set that flag administratively. It’s not unique, and it’s something my level 1 help desk guys under my teams had no problem learning.

    You’ve either been in the game long enough to become senile or the more likely case is your the kid and have no idea what you’re doing.

    Bonus: there’s another flag to set the Start Menu to not search files. Set that one too and the search is lightning fast and only shows you programs and settings options.
