I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
I knew being faceblind must have some benefit. I often only realise I know an actor when I see their name in the credits. Then again it can take me half a movie to realise there are two men with dark hair, a beard and glasses, so I wouldn’t entirety recommend it.
I used to regularly snooze my alarm which i had set for 7:00, however recently i have noticed that i directly wake up by my alarm at 7:10 and don’t remember snoozing my alarm!...
Or they’re just not a morning person. If I have to get up early, it doesn’t matter how long I have slept, even after 10 hours, I have to be up at almost an hour before I don’t feel like I would rather go back to sleep again.
I stand on the wheels of cars when scraping the windshield or removing snow so I can reach the middle of the windshield. Doesn’t work with every car though.
Would love to know what you guys think and your reasoning for it. I’m starting to see a lot of Apple Watches/Fitbits/Galaxy Watches in my area compared to more traditional timepieces.
Ok this one might be silly but…where can I buy a real raised relief map these days? It’s for a gift…Is there a trustworthy seller making them? I mean, with real physical elevations of mountains etc, not just shading to give it a “look-like”. I’m interested maybe in European regions or the whole world, not US-centric....
I’m glad it was helpful. No, I never bought anything myself. I vaguely remembered that the relief maps we had at school were from a company in the region and I searched for them.
Please understandnim asking this question from a genuine place. I dont want the quora answer, i want the tech savvy, security expert minds of my fellow lemmings. If thats ok?...
To add to this: Many people shrug this off saying they don’t have anything to hide. Even assuming that is true, they usually mean they don’t have anything to hide right now from their current authorities. Ask yourself the question: Is there absolutely no form of government/regime you might want to hide something from? Are you absolutely certain these authorities might not get access to your data? Doesn’t even have to be a possible future government in your own country, it could be in some other country you might want to visit. Or maybe some terrorist organisation who for some reason targets people like you. Is there really absolutely no one you would mind having access to all the data collected about you?
The thing is, the data isn’t going to be uncollected again. The way things are drifting the number of countries not in some way endangered by antidemocratic movements is constantly decreasing. Call me paranoid but I just don’t want to risk it.
I’m laid up right now and I’m an anxious mess. I’m worried about finances and now my car. My mom said the engine sounded funny when she brought it over to her place, where I’m staying....
When I can’t stop worrying, especially at night in bed, I like to put on an audiobook. It keeps my mind distracted without being exhausting in another way. Maybe that’s something you could try? I’m sure there’s some service where you can get a trial month or trial audiobook if money is a concern right now.
ETA: And your phone should probably be sufficient for that.
Some of my subscriptions to lemmy communities (including this one) have been stuck on “pending” for a month and do not show up in my subscription feed....
It’s not just visual, posts from these communities don’t show up in the subscribed feed. At least that’s the way it is for me. Sometimes clicking the button again twice helps, but not always. Though at least that adds the communities to the list of subscribed communities.
Edit: Hm, just checked again, and I was wrong. Seems like they are showing up in the subscribed feed. Maybe I got that impression from some other issues my instance had before updating.

Short(er) people of Lemmy--what are some lifehacks you figured out that've helped you out?
Here’s some of mine:...
Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

What reasons are there for being concerned about companies like google and meta etc collecting data and tracking me?
