Is anyone else's friends getting really distant? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Sorry I was busy, I'll give you a call soon! I hope the number is still the same

It is terrible indeed, but I'd rather say that is because linux development is not focused enough on the desktop. KDE does a decent job out of the box, but still cracks in too many corners (still, after so many years...). GNOME looks cool but has terrible usability. People praise it for its design, but none of those people are designers or have any idea about design beyond color combinations. I know, your obscure other window manager is great and I will try it out soon.

I'm a bit optimistic that things will get better eventually. We have a decent service manager now and half-standardized packaging solutions. It also seems like the biggest pain with X vs. Wayland is over. Things kind of work, but it's far from a good desktop experience.

Terrible still, but dude I'm happy I'm over here and not in one of the other camps right now.

We should be grateful for every vegan trying to save animals/planet/... and generally leading their life in a way that does not fuck up everything for everyone else.

For every "annoying vegan" there are 100 annoying non-vegans complaining about them on the internet

Hm, maybe the reference was not clear or maybe it was and we're stuck in layers of implied references:

Easier said than done though. If the results are non-significant, that can be due to all sorts of things only one of them being a lack of an actual effect. If your measure is bad/noisy/not well calibrated, your research plan has flaws etc., the sample is too small, ... Most non-significant results are due to bad research and it's hard to identify the other ones. Preregistration and registered reports are some ideas to change that

How many cars are needed in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world
[–] udon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In practice, throughput is not the same. There are fewer cars underground that just park on the tracks, fewer traffic accidents, demos etc. Subways make you independent of almost everything that happens above ground. When Beijing introduced the subway system, that first allowed people to estimate quite precisely when they would arrive at their destination.

Also, fewer people plan to build a park underground or use that real estate otherwise. So the above-ground use of space is restricted to the station entrances. The calculation would even be different in places like Seoul, where the subway system doubles as a public bunker system.

How much stuff do you carry around daily just to cope with weather, other people, hygiene etc.? (lemmy.world)
 

I got annoyed recently when I wanted to leave the house and noticed my bag was half full just with stuff to deal with weather. In Tokyo, I usually carry an umbrella with me, maybe sunscreen, sunglasses, a mini towel etc. Others have fans, "neck fans" (not sure how they are called). Maybe a water bottle also counts.

All of this is "weather stuff" for me. I asked a friend what she carries around, and we started to think about some other categories as well. So I wondered how much of the stuff we carry around is actually about the thing we want to do wherever we go, and how much is just to cope with the environment? Also, I would be curious how this looks like in other places around the world. Things probably vary by gender, age, season as well.

Some categories are:

  • weather stuff
  • personal hygiene stuff
  • safety stuff
  • not being annoyed by others stuff
  • infrastructure fail stuff (e.g., preparing for when trains get delayed)

Was music really better "back in the days"? (lemmy.world)
 

Tell me all the trash music/artists you know from around the 50s to 70s.

Google Glass had a better see-through solution than the Apple Vision Pro (lemmy.world)
 

Whatever use cases they try to push for social settings, I think Google Glass was still the better solution. Nobody uses their Vision Pro outside, and it's way too expensive as just another VR headset to use at home.

[solved] Getting into the UEFI menu (lemmy.world)

My dearest,

I just got myself a lil' HP Elitedesk 800 G2 mini and am all set to run my home server on there. But I have troubles entering the UEFI menu. I don't know what they did with Windows 10, but I can't get there the usual way (i.e., hitting random f-buttons or esc during startup). I checked out the online Windows support and found this link with options to access the UEFI menu from within Windows:

https://www.isunshare.com/windows-password/four-methods-to-access-uefi-bios-setup.html

However, even when the computer is supposed to reboot into UEFI, it always sends me back to the normal login screen. By now, I ran out of ideas what to try.

Did anyone experience similar problems?

Edit: Got it working with different keyboard/display combination. The reboot from within Windows thing still didn't work, but starting from powered off and hitting f10 a few times did it this time. I think the main problem was with my displayport to HDMI converter at home, which apparently caused some delays - and maybe the fact that it's connected to a TV at home, not a regular display. Also, if you don't stop hitting f10 at some point, apparently you get sent back to normal booting. I didn't investigate that problem further though.
