Interesting, I seem to know “thank you” in a few languages, but not “please”. I wonder what that indicates…

Spanish: por favor, gracias

French: sil vous plait, merci

Indonesian: ?, terima kasih

Mandarin: ?, xie xie

Japanese: ?, arigato

German: ?, danke

Italian: ?, grazie

Aussie: oi, cheers/ta (/s)

That’s a good one.

We used to screenshot desktops, set it as the wallpaper, and move all the desktop icons to a temporary folder.

I’ve heard swapping the N and M keys is a good one because it doesn’t register as unusual on a visual scan but messes up touch typists.

When I worked for a big IT consultant, the internal marketing department (why does that exist?) was tasked with promoting a new touch device. They had the genius idea of making stickers with “The mouse is dead” and a product link. Early one morning, they went around to every desk and put these stickers over the mouse lasers.

It took about 30 minutes for everyone to figure out why every mouse in the building had stopped working. There was urgent work that had to be done. People were furious.

Crowdsourcing has been a blessing in my journey to relieve chronic migraine. There’s a lot of misunderstanding and bad info out there, but at least it has given me options. Doctors have all fixated on blood pressure medication and abortives, which don’t work on me in the former, and the latter leaves me incapacitated when they do work.

Going down the rabbit hole of online discussions helped me figure out I have histamine intolerance, which I was able to verify scientifically once I knew how to investigate it.

Communities that are mostly on meta are going to be tough to shift. One of my main ones is Electric Unicycles, which has a lot of activity over there because people rely on it for organising group rides and such. It means even the subreddit is pretty small.

I tried looking for less niche categories, like for Personal Electric Vehicles, no luck. The closest I found on Lemmy is for micromobility, but it’s pretty dead.

It’s strange of China to even propose this. Why would Australia risk drawing fire when we’ve escaped the worst of the tariff lunacy so far?

Turning it down is also an easy win for Albanese to look strong against two superpowers, weeks away from an election.

Even when I like the music, it goes down to about 50%. If games were good at dynamically adjusting the music so it doesn’t compete with all the other audio when you actually need to hear things, I wouldn’t. But here we are.
