Oolimo, the website and phone app is a great resource for me. It lets you enter notes on a fretboard to identify chords.

That’s about how well it fits in. You produce and find guns and can equip yourself and the pals with certain weapons. Modern firearms in a generic fantasy setting. It’s like a meme game that has too much production budget.

Your phone does the same thing just without communicating it. Samsung phones let you change the percentage of the battery is “100%” charged.

When Firefox announced that a ton of their add-ons/extensions were coming to the mobile app, it got me to switch from chrome after almost 15 years.

Unfortunately it’s fully supported by the statistics and multiple large channels have tried to get away from the shitty thumbnails, but those videos get significantly less clicks.

We can hate it, but it works.

As a Tesla owner of 5 years with a cross country road trip in the car, Teslas charging has never failed me. It’s rare to encounter a charging stall not working, but every location has multiple chargers and they repair stalls quickly.

Almost every location I’ve been to has at least 8 stalls if not more. The navigation in the car also keeps track of stalls in use, electricity prices, expected wait time and if any stalls are not working.

They are mission based and very fast paced. AC games are generally pretty challenging and designed to be replayed a lot for mastery and for trying out different mech loadouts as you unlock parts and weapons over time.

I picked up 2 copies of Helldivers for me and my partner during the steam sale. Game is great fun and runs smoothly on steam deck. Totally worth $5.

Yeah basically the rules where “if from domain A go to folder A.”

The organized folders basically served as a way to filter through stuff that I didn’t need to respond to, break things down into tasks I actually needed to respond to, and to make it easier to search through later.

So if I got an email from user@xdomain, it would go to my xdomain folder and be listed as unread and I would respond from there. Then that email chain stayed in its appropriate folder.

I go to a local salon, hair wash, beard trim and hair cut is $35 and I usually tip $10. Absolutely worth it in my opinion. My hair has never looked better.

For me I set up my corporate inbox with tons of rules to automate sorting inbound emails to relevant folders. I worked in software support so I had folders for each company my team communicated with on a regular basis, folders for internal emails like announcements and business/facilities updates, and the general inbox just caught anything I hadn’t created a rule for yet. Outlook folders all display unread counts to it was easy for me.

I didn’t delete anything. I let my companies retention policy handle that.

Texas basically banned critical thinking skills in the school system

For me its a definitely the excitement of messing with a new toy while also making me think “how the hell does this work” and “the general population has no chance with this”.

I’ve only been trying out Lemmy/Mastodon for the past few days, slowly building up the communities I subscribe to. I was mostly a lurker on reddit and rarely made my own posts, so the smaller userbase is both good and bad. Good because I spend less time scrolling and I feel like I can contribute more. Bad because there is just less traffic.

Smaller communities tend to be more polite overall and are more welcoming to longer form writing and discussion which I am very down with. I am both intrigued and slightly bewildered how up front the platform is about blocking out content you don’t want to see. Again, good and bad.

Anyway, those are my thoughts on being a new user this week.

Good on you for getting him involved early. I’m trying to do that stuff with my nieces and nephews but they aren’t really grabbing on.

I was a geek squad agent for several years and yeah the adults were usually more clueless than the younger clients. Computers have been a part of the work place for nearly 40 years… I’m not expecting most people to know hardware and maintenance but just being a competent user is rare.

Yeah the instances are really confusing for a normal user. Imagine if something like discord worked like that, where you had to have a separate account for every single channel you join.

Old.reddit is great. Way better than their modern redesign.

Phone OSs are definitely a big culprit but students entering college now would have most likely at a minimum been issued Chromebooks since middle school. While not perfect at least Google drive would give them a chance to get to grips with how to navigate files.

I have had multiple college freshmen taking an intro C# class that had no idea what a zip file was. How can you want to be a computer science student but be so disconnected from your own computer skills.

Exactly that hahaha.

It makes me sad to see how inept 18-20 year old kids are at basic computer operation. I’m 28 so not that far away, but I find myself constantly thinking “how did you guys miss this”.

I spend most of my day as a tutor for an intro to Microsoft office class and I am continually blown away at how little people understand about devices they paid hundreds of not thousands of dollars for.

A little intimidating at first but after finding a decent mobile app (connect) and following a few communities I think I’m getting it. The whole federation and indexing is really interesting to me and eventually I could see myself hosting a small instance.
