owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•For those who play games on a PC with 2 monitors, are you a game on the left screen or game on the right screen person?14·1 day agoMy left monitor is placed more directly in front, while my right monitor is more angled. I generally use the left as my “primary” and the right as the “secondary”, though they’re identical otherwise.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•When asked "are you an honest person?" The only logical answer is yes.14·2 days agoYou’re assuming the answer must be binary, where “yes” means you’re honest all the time and “no” means you’re dishonest all the time. Those characters show up in riddles, but in reality, most people are somewhere on the scale in between perfectly-honest and perfectly-dishonest.
Even the question “are you an honest person?” would, to most people, mean “are you generally honest?” Either answer makes sense here.
I tried compiling DoritOS, but apparently I didn’t have the right chip
owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Do you care about up/down votes?13·6 days agoThey’re helpful to determine the general community’s take on something, even if there is little other engagement.
And if I’m being honest, getting upvotes is a sweet hit of dopamine. But I try to keep things in perspective.
I always imagine that Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff will be looked at by people 1000 years from now the same way we look at old art with weird babies and ass trumpets.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•My AI Skeptic Friends Are All NutsEnglish1·8 days agoI’m a senior with a good boss, I pretty much just ignore it. And fortunately, at least in my company, most people have done that (especially with the safety critical stuff). But management still has a way of making your life miserable when you stand your ground on this kind of thing, so it’s also common to just tell them some bullshit and go about your job.
Any instance can simply say, “we’re full”. But it’s up to the instances themselves–it wouldn’t make sense to impose an arbitrary limit, because each instance has different capabilities.
But normalizing instance membership limiting seems sensible for a network with this model.

owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•My AI Skeptic Friends Are All NutsEnglish281·9 days agoDevelopers are resentful toward AI for the same reason they resented blockchain–it becomes a buzz word that every middle manager is convinced will improve productivity, and it’s forced whether it’s actually helpful or not.
I work on safety-critical code. AI is useless here, but we have to “use” it to appease clueless shareholders.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does anyone use a phone without a protective case?71·10 days agoI wouldn’t need a case if the phone were designed with proper bevels. You literally can’t set an uncased phone on a flat surface without scratching the screen or camera (which sticks out awkwardly).
And don’t get me started on the screens with curved edges. Complete garbage design (why yes, I’d love to accidentally use touch gestures just by holding the device, frrrrrrt).

It entirely depends on the type of ice cream. Many brands add “softeners” that make it easier to scoop. My go-to here in Canada is Chapman’s, and I’ve never had an issue. But we’ve had other kinds that were nigh-impossible.
I think mine says it’s set to -18°C?
Weird looks: +200%
Strangers attempting to lick ears: +3000%
If you don’t care how it looks, and you’re specifically blowing air in with the box fan, you can just use a large garbage bag to direct the air in. Mount the fan vertically facing the opening, cut open a trash bag, and attach it to the remaining three edges of the opening and your fan.
If it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid.
owenfromcanada@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?7·14 days agoMine’s a picture of a cow. Just sayin’.
GPS coordinates. Much more efficient than storing country, province, city, address, and postal code. Let the front end handle the rest.
