I think my cat prefers me when I’m wearing my myotorcycle helmet

Game soundtracks were such a game changer for me; like this music that’s literally written to be in the background?

This is the first comment about switching to Linux that makes me feel positively about the idea

While I don’t necessarily agree in this case, you did remind me of something Justice Kirby (an Australia Hugh Court (our highest court) Judge) wrote in his dissent in Carr v Western Australia.^1

“He was a smart alec for whom it is hard to feel much sympathy. But the police were public officials bound to comply with the law. We should uphold the appellant’s rights because doing so is an obligation that is precious for everyone. It is cases like this that test this Court. It is no real test to afford the protection of the law to the clearly innocent, the powerful and the acclaimed.”

^1 232 CLR 138, 188 [170].

I always forget everything that’s happened in the fortnight since I last saw her

I did the exact same!

Wait, you have to pay to use your phone as a hotspot?!

If we just got rid of the Himalayas everything would even out! /s

Particularly an issue when you’re googling an obscure software issue, you just get spammed with the same copy/paste “troubleshooting” steps. Which usually boil down to “reinstall this completely unrelated driver”.

Just reading this caused a small spike of ice cold fury within my soul

I remember on reddit once someone from the US complaining about people assuming their bar had EFTPOS machines/pay wave saying “You wouldn’t go to the grocery store without your wallet?!”

And me, in Australia just being like…but… I do? I almost never take my wallet with me to the grocery store…

(Although, because my student public transport card is the only thing I can’t put on my phone, going out for drinks is one of the few times I’m almost guaranteed to have my wallet) (also because I want to have backups if something goes wrong while I’m inebriated)

I needed to see this, just in general, today

Thanks for letting me know that that community exists! It’s one of my favourite subreddit so there being a Lemmy alternative is great news!

Is that the stuff that comes in a little glass vial?

I emailed MSI support to get a new hinge for my F key. They repeatedly told me the entire keyboard needed to be replaced. After several days of back and forth, and me assuring the support person that, no I just need the key hinge, and that yes, they could just send me the hinge and I could fix it myself, they relented.

Took 30 seconds and didn’t mean that a perfectly good keyboard be trashed.

When I was more active in ED spaces, shows like these were really popular. I watched a lot of Supersize v Superskinny but didn’t really bother with the others.

Came from a starved mindset where I so obsessed with food and weight that I only wanted to watch stuff that related directly to food and weight.

There was also discussion in ED spaces I was in about how the stuff that these shows were doing was unhealthy and fucked up but had been deemed entertainment and therefore permissable. But us doing similar stuff was (rightfully) seen as fucked up.

I want to stress that no one in the communities I was in was ever judging the contestants. The only people we were viewing negatively were the producers who were putting people in danger and also like, ourselves.

My cat rarely bothers us about food. But if we’ve not played with him, or toured the (exterior, communal building) hallway in the last few hours…he doth scream.

And I’m pretty sure he uses his abs when meowing because the boi can project!

Jesus. I’m extremely ashamed that I’ve never questioned the whale narrative before…

Thank you!

Yeah, a channel I follow has grown and pivoted from “making a video when they have a topic they care about”, which was still quite frequent, to “scheduled biweekly video on a topic interesting to the widest audience” and it’s really killed the magic.

Like, their choice and I wish them well, but it’s not for me anymore.

Australia’s federal legislation making non-consensual sharing of intimate images an offense includes doctored or generated images because that’s still extremely harmful to the victim and their reputation.
