Firefox is routed through the VPN 24/7, everything else as needed.

Housing, replacing decorative plants with edible ones.

How does Chuck Schumer still have a job? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Oh yeah, Baileys are the imaginary friends I was referring to. Thanks for reminding me!

That's a fair point. Almost seems like a two-party system is fundamentally flawed.

How does Chuck Schumer still have a job? (lemmy.world)
 

DISCLAIMER: I'M NOT FROM USA.

From the outside looking in, it seems like at least half of the inaction of the "left" is because ol' Chucky just hinders everything.

"We wrote a strong letter" was probably the first time I actually, genuinely didn't understand how he's still the leader of the party.

Since then I've done some digging, and it seems like the guy is actually quite delusional. Not even his imaginary friends vote for him, which is kinda sad. Understandable though.

Now he's talking about voting on whether they should block the military action in Venezuela. The ongoing one. The one that's been planned publicly for months.

So, how does he still have his job?

What are the pronouns they/them in your language? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] EarWorm@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

In Finnish we don't have gendered pronouns, everyone is a they. But in spoken Finnish, we usually just refer to everyone as "it", and I think that's beautiful.

What is the technical hill you are willing to die on in your industry? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] EarWorm@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Don't cost-optimize people's homes. Just don't.

The amount of times I've gone to a maintenance job with a description "people are cold", only to see a plaque on the wall stating that this building has been optimized by Company X is actually infuriating.

And the worst thing is that they inject their proprietary, remote control system on top of the original automation. This means that I can't change anything without literally reprogramming the entire site.

So I'm standing there, trying to figure out how to tell an 80yo lady "you're cold because the building managers want to save some money" without going on an anti-capitalist rant. This has had a success rate of around 30%.

TIL real Borderlands fans are pirates.

My YouTube homepage after I watch one balatro video in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world
[–] EarWorm@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I remember when I Ran by Flock of Seagulls was randomly playing in my head so I decided to listen to it. YouTube took that as me finding a new favourite band. I mostly listen to industrial metal.

What does "legitimate interest" mean in cookie settings? (lemmy.world)
 

When going through the cookie settings for a website or an app, some of the cookies are marked as "legitimate interest". What exactly does that mean?

Looking for Overwatch alternatives (lemmy.world)
 

TL;DR: Any recommendations for a game like Overwatch that actually functions? XDefiant was promising, but it doesn't have "roles" that don't require shooting, so my friend got frustrated.

As it turns out, it is actually possible to make friends as an adult. Who knew?

She likes MOBAs and such, and I mostly go for shooters so Overwatch was an obvious choice.

The gameplay is fun, and it gives us both something we enjoy, but there are some glaring issues that are best described by just describing my own experience in the game.

First off, the game requires you to win 50 matches in quick play before you're allowed in ranked. With both of us working full-time, having spouses and whatnot, and dealing with 3 random teammates, that took forever.

I finally got to ranked, she already had a rank. The game "predicted" my rank to be basically the same as hers. Even so, all that's available are "wide matches". Average wait time is between 20-30 minutes.

So we started a co-op campaign in Baldur's Gate 3.

We still would like to find a competitive game to play together, so basically a functional Overwatch.

And that brings us here. Any ideas?
