It depends a bit on what bags I carry, what kinda pockets I have, what my needs are for that specific trip and what temperature it is.

Front right:

• keys (2 house keys, 2 USB thumb drives, some decorative key fobs and a carabinier to attatch my bike lock key that needs to be inside the lock while riding)
• 1 or 2 lighters
• tobacco, filter and papers for rolling cigarettes (when I’m wearing a shirt with front a pocket, the rolling stuff goes there)
• anything that’s able to scratch my phone screen

Front left:

• phone (pixel 5)
• wallet (random leather wallet from amazon, that held up surprisingly well over the past ~5 years)

In my backpack for longer transit/going to the park etc:

• wallet in the backpack now
• headphones (bluetooth IEMs)
• whatever novel I’m currently reading
• umbrella
• water bottle
• a backup reusable shopping bag
• flashlight (some cheap USB rechargeable LED light with both a focused beam and a bigger LED in the handle for illuminating larger spaces)
• sometimes rolling stuff for joints inside a waist bag

When grocery shopping:

• other, bigger backpack with several reusable shopping bags

When its hot:

• a towel that I often just tuck in my pants a bit so it can dry better while hanging from my waist, when dry I usually keep it in my front left pocket
• usually also a folding hand-held fan, in my backpack when I happen to carry it, otherwise front right pocket

When I go out but don’t want to carry my backpack I put the following inside the waist bag and carry that across my chest:

• cigarette rolling stuff, unless I’ve got a front pocket on my shirt
• sometimes also joint rolling stuff
• keys
• wallet
• usually headphones

Idk if this much detail was wanted but here you go lol

ARM chips were common in phones, even 10 years ago. But after doing a bit of research, there seems to be an unofficial open source version of android made to run on x86. Might be that this thing is running that. No idea, really

I mean, the internals might just be the ones of a tablet or something. With android I’d be guessing its an ARM chip

Idk, I never really have these issues nowadays. And even if I do, they’re not so bad to get used to IMO.

If it doesn’t want to go landscape, hold it vertical for a sec, and go landscape again. Shaking won’t help usually. I don’t remember the last time I had to do this.

For situations like laying in bed there is the possibility to turn off auto rotate. But for me personally, it’s, again, not really an issue. I think my OEM did some improvement of the auto rotate feature that it barely ever accidentally rotates while in bed, no idea how it detects that. But maybe I’m just subconsciously holding my phone in a way that is not aligned with my head and more aligned with gravity, idk.

I feel like these issues were much worse a few years back.

Because you’re on the same instance, I suppose

How is this a hot take

Yes

Fair point

I use Xfce for my media laptop and was wondering why anyone would use virtual desktops when the buttons on the top panel are so tiny and annoying to click

Then I recently found out you can move your cursor all the way to the left or right edge and scroll with your mouse wheel to switch virtual desktops.

Made me consider actually using virtual desktops lol

I watched a conspiracy theory video with a friend for laughs in early 2020. I think January or February. It mentioned some kind of virus from china that was gonna take over the world. We laughed about it.

Yeah, but my point was that people generally spend money on things that make them happy. That could also be treating a friend to lunch, but that’s not usually $20k.

So I guess what I was trying to say was, why is it suddenly a problem to spend $20k, when it’s a pet and not something else, that clearly does not create any financial gain but only gives joy to the person spending the cash?

That’s kinda the exact opposite. Not many people want to use small instances, so not many people are interested in fixing something like that. However, let’s say lemmy.world becomes unusable because of too much cross-server communication. That would cause inconvenience to way more people, increasing the likelihood that someone will do the work to fix it.

What was it like? :D

Recently learned a new, simple cocktail.

• 330ml rhubarb lemonade
• 40ml Licor 43
• 10-20ml lime juice
• 3-4 ice cubes

Absolute perfection IMHO

I don’t think brains get more complex because of additional information.

Also, what I’m not sure you mean with having “enough capacity to reflect ourselves by processing everything”? Do you mean analyzing another brain or analyzing your own brain? Do you mean processing every time a neuron fires, and which neurons get what kind of stimulus from it? Or do you mean looking at all molecules/atoms/fundamental particles and considering their state and following reaction?

I think we should be capable of understanding the concepts that make our brains work eventually. But I don’t think we have the capacity to monitor everything another brain is doing and understand/interpret it in real time, let alone our own brain. A computer might be able to at some point, when we understand more about neurology.

The same reason some people spend that kinda money on 30 year old cars. Or collectibles. Or PC parts.

It brings them joy. Seems that might be missing from your life currently.

Idk, I didn’t like it. Might just be the people around here who use it tho. The way the 16 personalities test thingy is ingrained there also kinda rubbed me the wrong way.

I’m sure if we reach that point, someone will add a method for batching cross-server communication. That’s the beauty of FOSS

Yeah tea with honey is the first thing I make when I wake up with a stomach ache.

Maybe removing the tea bag is essential? Idk haha

I think most normal, reaaonable humans agree that both coffee and tea are good, and that both cats and dogs are cute. People just have a preference and like to joke around about that.

I have to concede though, that are some legitimately crazy people who go 100% team XYZ and leave no space at all for the positive sides of the other team.
