Does anyone actually use the windows key on their keyboard as intended by the OS?
  • Yes, I definitely do. I use it to open start menu and search, as well as using quite a few commands, run, snipping tool, moving and resizing windows, etc.

    When win10 is no longer supported we will be making the leap to linux, and I really hope I can get much of this functionality there.

  • I make games and this literally happened to me this morning
  • Aww, you're adorable. I will buy the games closer to Christmas for everyone, my reading tells me that if I buy the game and the person does not accept the gift then they will give me a refund, so I imagine you won't get the money until everyone accepts.

  • I make games and this literally happened to me this morning
  • This is super cute! If I buy these now for my friends and family but set it to deliver the gift near Christmas, would you get the money now? Or not til Christmas?

    This looks perfect for when everyone is over on Christmas eve! <3

  • I make games and this literally happened to me this morning
  • But please don't spend money on my previous games, I recognize that they aren't that good I don't want to burden anyone financially with them (I loved every minute of making them, but I was still a noob back then).

    You're not my mum! I bought Be a Rock anyway. Keep going, make games!

    I believe in you!

  • Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second
  • Yup. When we went to buy a TV I knew this was happening because the smart TVs with wifi and extra hardware and software were cheaper than the dumb TVs. Nothing is free, I knew they had to be doing this shit.

  • Public system spent at least $1.5-billion on private nurses last year, study finds
  • Yes I get that now, in Australia the term "private nurse" is used exclusively as far as I know to refer to private in home nurses.

    If I google "private nurses Australia" it is clear this is the case, and a company I have worked through is one of the top results.

    If I google "private nurses Canada" the results all refer to agency nurses like the above article.

    My mistake, I made an assumption without actually reading the article before commenting.

  • Public system spent at least $1.5-billion on private nurses last year, study finds
  • Ah, do facilities hire private nurses? Like traveling nurses? I had only heard the term "private nurse" as in one who is privately hired to work in the home.

    Edit: Ah, they do indeed, I have now read the article, apologies. I read private nurses and assumed it meant in home nurses. It seems in Canada the term applies to travel nurses or agency nurses.

  • Florida's new COVID booster guidance is straight-up misinformation
  • This shit is getting old. I was in the Novavax trial here in Australia and one of the things the clinicians said that stuck with me is that they were "surprised that there wasn't much interest".

    See, Novavax is a traditional vaccine, not an MRNA vaccine. It is (and has been) approved everywhere.

    They expected that all the antivaxxers who were afraid of "changes to their DNA" would come in for this traditional vaccine.

    Except they didn't. Because it isn't about MRNA, it's about being part of a group, part of people who "understand you" and echo and validate the fears you have about living in this world.

    This is killing people.

  • Public system spent at least $1.5-billion on private nurses last year, study finds
  • I am a disability support worker, and would like to add a little context that may affect how this expense is perceived. One of the types of in home support for the very disabled, injured or the very old, is nursing.

    Some types of in home care require a nurse - administering certain medication, handling a ventilator, wound care, etc.

    If there are not nurses in the community offering these services the alternative is that these people go to the hospital for the round the clock care they need - a much more expensive proposition.

  • Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code
  • I bought Red Dead Redemption for myself and three friends, super excited about the game, the lore. I had never spent that much money on a game.

    We all played through the single player tutorial, and finally into the open world. We meet up and begin exploring and trying to complete quests when suddenly one of us just ... drops dead.

    Then another is hit by a meteor and caught on fire?

    I am thrown up into the sky.

    An alien ship?! Appears and messes with us for a while. I try begging in pub chat for the hacker to please leave us so we can play, which seems to goad them further. This continued for an hour.

    A quick look around the internet told us that this was par for the course for RDR and GTA and Rockstar couldn't/wouldn't do anything about it.

    We ended up refunding all the games through steam. Sad times.

    Using Firefox on Win10 pc, the usual add ons. Errors when upvoting, when accessing posts from inbox, when expanding comment trees.

    Errors repeatable until page loads either by refreshing or pressing back. Once the page has loaded without an error everything seems to work fine, up and down votes, expanding comment trees, etc all work even after navigating away from post and returning.

    Happy to provide any other information that helps diagnose things.

    Thank you. I really like wefwef!

    YSK you can use Imagus or any hover to zoom addon to quickly view images and gifs on your Lemmy front page

    Why YSK: It makes viewing images fast and easy, with no clicks.

    I got used to this on the site that shall not be named, sometimes I don't want to open the whole image or post. With the addon if I hover over the image button that would expand the image, it will show the image full size for as long as I hover over it, no clicking needed, this works with gifs as well.
