Android@lemmy.world•Xiaomi global bootloader unlock policy has changed - XiaomiTimeEnglish
4·1 year agoOne of the few manufacturers that have the 3.5mm jack and SD card. The only other one I can think of now is Motorola.

Technology@lemmy.world•How Americans responded in 1955 when the invention of the polio vaccine was announcedEnglish
23·1 year agoI see it as a sign of health that people working with vaccines only use them when they are beneficial, and don’t use them when there are reasons not to.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google TV has a whole new way to show ads on the homescreen [Gallery]English
7·1 year agoRemote adb (I think?) was a lot easier than I expected. I recommend changing these tv launchers as quick as possible.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a word, phrase, or trope for an idea that gets more popular the more it fails?
2·1 year agoPerhaps the closest term is “cognitive dissonance.” I don’t think current usage best fits your description, although the original event that inspired the term certainly does.
https://www.simplypsychology.org/cognitive-dissonance.html
Cognitive dissonance was first investigated by Leon Festinger, arising out of a participant observation study of a cult that believed that the earth was going to be destroyed by a flood, and what happened to its members — particularly the really committed ones who had given up their homes and jobs to work for the cult — when the flood did not happen.
While fringe members were more inclined to recognize that they had made fools of themselves and to “put it down to experience,” committed members were more likely to re-interpret the evidence to show that they were right all along (the earth was not destroyed because of the faithfulness of the cult members).

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a word, phrase, or trope for an idea that gets more popular the more it fails?
1·1 year agoThere is the sunk-cost fallacy, but that is more about investments. I don’t know if it’s refers to popularity like OP wants.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Bug bounty denied? Hmmm ... OK, let's see ...English

Create an Apple account with support@company.com
Is that just a spoofed email? What would be the steps to do that?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•if you ever traveled 1K miles by bus, would you recommend it?
2·1 year agoIt really depends on the kind of buses I think.
I did a lot of traveling in South America and it was a great way to see different countries. A lot of the buses were pretty luxurious with 180 degree reclining seats, meals and bus attendants to give your blankets and things. You could rest comfortably during the night trips. I also met some interesting people along the way. Some trips were horrible too, but at least I have the stories.
I probably wouldn’t do it in the US. Don’t know about other countries.
Can you actually extend the trip and stay at some hotels/hostels or something along the way? If the buses are comfortable, and you have the time and budget, i think it would be great to visit three different countries, enjoy the foods and sites, meet people along the way, and have that time by yourself to do whatever you want.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I feel like a flashbang went off in my head, so the only question that I can think of is, "What now?" (Details in body.)
9·1 year agoLove takes many forms. Caring for someone without the expectation of a benefit you want is a form of love. If my wife came down with MS and we could no longer have sex, I would still love her, respect her and admire the mother and life partner that she is. I would also be upset that I couldn’t have sex any more.
I personally would try to figure out the following, with or without professional help:
- Why is she depressed? She is going through a lot. She is probably scared you are going to abandon her when she needs someone the most. She may also hate the situation that you are in because of her illness. She is also probably angry at the world that she has to suffer this. She is also probably worried for her child and feels guilty that she can’t give her more. There are so many feelings she has to process, it may be easier to just shut down.
- If you remove the expectations of sex with her, would you be willing to stay with her as a caring and respectful partner and mother to your child?
- You might explore non-monogamy. That’s going to be a complicated conversation, but maybe something your wife is willing to explore. Just ensure it takes into consideration all the issues in the first point.
A good mother and partner is so hard to find. Love can take many forms. Don’t feel limited in your choices if you can make other options work out.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Lemmings of Lemmy who came over from Reddit what do you miss about Reddit and what do you not miss?
1·1 year agoI miss the in-depth comments from users experienced in specific fields. I followed RealTesla on Reddit and it was amazing because you had software engineers, automotive engineers, safety systems engineers, lawyers, finance people, car industry insiders and many other perspectives all discussing the topics and bringing their unique insights to the conversation. Here it seems you have the same tired jokes repeated on most posts and not nearly as much depth.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Who do you think will be the Dem nominee now and their running mate?
2·1 year agoOne of the reasons I didn’t want Hillary was to avoid more dynasties (Bush, Clinton). We need need political families keeping power to themselves.
My personal pet peeve is people using “societal” when “social” is just as appropriate.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Sleepers of lemmy, do you have your cell phone in your dreams?
7·1 year agoThis reminds me of another factoid - most people never write in their dreams. I wonder if there is a relationship.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Pros and cons of Proxmox in a home lab?English
0·1 year agoFor me, pros are:
- Fun to learn something new
- Easy to test different systems. For example, I can play with different router or NAS software without having a separate computer around.
- I’ve been able to create different “computers” that serve different needs and require different levels of security.
- Currently, a cluster is probably overkill, it was a fun experiment.
Cons
- Updating all the different systems can be a pain. I could probably automate it, but I haven’t made the time to learn it yet.
- As a beginner, I’m throwing a bunch of parts together and hoping it will work. I should probably be more strategic in my implementation, but I don’t know what to prioritize. I’m sure I’ll have to start over in the future.
- With the previous point, the storage setup doesn’t seem very intuitive. I probably need to set up that better.
- I haven’t quite figured out backups yet. My VM backups all seem too big. I need to figure that out and automate it.
Hope this is helpful.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What "I was there!" stories are you impatient to brag about to the next generations?
5·2 years agoI volunteered at the occupy wall street camp in New York. Fun times.
I think that would have the same problem of cancel for the first button and a different name for the desired function on the next screen.
Cancel (delete) -> Cancel (cancel deleting) / Confirm (confirm deleting)
My suggestion is
Discard (delete) -> discard (delete) / Cancel (cancel deleting)

This is what I think should be changed to “Discard.”

Global News@lemmy.zip•Israel must comply with ICJ order to immediately halt military operations in Rafah
10·2 years agoThese cases aren’t do/don’t. This ruling will likely give more weight to any government parties considering sanctions or other strategies.
I also hate that we don’t have any way to stop genocides from happening, but currently sanctions and trade pressure are currently our most effective/efficient strategies. Hopefully this ruling will be one more bit of pressure, in addition to other pressures, that will provide a path to a longer term solution.






Fuck Israel.
Hoping they get an abomb.
