Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem
  • i didn't realize the commute was implicitly a part of the 8 hours in your scenario. that makes a little more sense.

  • Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem
  • okay but when do chores happen? i can barely keep up on dishes and laundry with a 45 minute commute each way. sleep, too...

  • What’s next for the Steam Deck?
  • "hyper-accelerates the aging of all plaforms" that's a funny way to spell "planned obsolescence" but you do you

  • i just cut my own hair and do what i want with it, tbh

  • You know the post is BS when...
  • oh good, we're gendering keycaps now

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • that's from the cover/title art for the games Every Extend Extra and Every Extend Extra Extreme! i used to play the latter a bunch on my old xb360

  • What are some good games to play while absolutely baked?
  • i really like paradise killer for this. like there's a mild horror aspect to the game, and a lot of social commentary, but mostly it's just nice to chill out in the transdimensional occult vaporwave dimension and wander and listen to the music. sable, too, though that's a totally different vibe.

  • Final Fantasy 16 sales did not meet high expectations, says Square Enix president
  • honestly, i started the demo, and while the gameplay wasn't bad, the characters and story didn't grab me at all, and i lost interest almost immediately. maybe i'll snag it in a year or two, after the GOTY, during a sale

  • If you could only keep one synthesizer…
  • that's fair. it's also easier for me to repair and modify my synth if i'm the one building it, which, chipocalypse-scale disruptions aside, makes the whole thing a little more future proof. and if this is the only synth i get, then i'd need to be able to repair it.

    my rule for my own rack is that i have to solder at least part of every single module (and now that i'm set up for surface mount work, i'll be able to build even more :3:3:3), and i'd think this would be the same

  • Apt, packages kept back: why and how to resolve it?
  • not sure about apt, but with apt-get the default behavior for upgrade is to hold back packages with new dependencies that are not currently installed. in that case, running sudo apt-get upgrade --with-new-pkgs should get those packages upgraded as well, assuming that dependency conflicts aren't a factor, too

  • that would be lovely, if it wouldn't be too much trouble for folks. i've noticed a few folks doing it on general nsfw communities more often lately, and it's made my time there a lot less stressful. if the ask ends up alienating people here, though, i can skedaddle, too

  • How is it possible that there's no good music player software for Linux like Musicbee for Windows?
  • yeah, clementine is amazing. it handles my absurd music library well while still being able to run on my ancient laptops

    When people downvote/post rude comments on porn
  • i think it's something the admins can toggle — it seems to be turned off for all of blahaj and a few other instances. i can't seem to find mention of it in the official lemmy docs, but it's discussed in a few threads on their github, so maybe it's just an option in the admin interface somewhere?

    When people downvote/post rude comments on porn
  • that makes sense, and i can understand that analogy. i really should be less timid about reporting. i think i was more responding to the second panel of the meme — it's not a matter of disgust or weak dislike — usually i'm either actively turned off by what i'm downvoting, or i'm experiencing some kind of reminder of trauma. not that it matters on here in my case; downvotes are disabled on my instance.

  • Dear Diary: Day One of using an iPod Classic in 2023
  • honestly, the only thing the classics are missing for me is a physical off/reset switch. sometimes i've needed to reboot to apply a mod or something, or the little thing freezes, and if the hidden key combos don't work for whatever reason, then i have to spudge the dang thing open and reseat the battery's ribbon cable

  • Dear Diary: Day One of using an iPod Classic in 2023
  • they work great with Clementine, too, which is cross-platform. and with a SD/flash adapter and Rockbox, the older models can still be capable little devices today. rockbox, at least, does start to chug a little with dynamic playlists over several thousand songs, though...

  • or... whatever got posted was a legitimate turnoff or bad vibes for someone, or simply posted in the wrong place

    that said, being rude is both unnecessary and self-defeating, and probably derails folks' horny more than just downvoting or blocking and then moving on so idk

  • am I the only person on earth that loves disco Elysium
  • might be a friend group thing. more or less everyone i know that has either played it or watched a playthrough loves disco elysium

  • Why do so many lemmy instances have non-traditional TLDs?
  • my guess is it's the same as why they're used on mastodon — they're fun
