In my experience, neither Slack nor other apps (that all blow Teams out of the water) can do that - except Discord, which isn’t exactly a common office meeting app.

Wait, that’s a dumb design. On a (way) older phone I had some automation running and all that location triggering was done on the phone and only connected to my home when I was in fact near it. Google (or any role party) shouldn’t need to receive live geo location updates.

Let me tell you something

Don’t be too hard on yourself

Well yeah it’s mandarin, but in the show Mandarin is pretty exclusively used for very creative swear phrases, such as “The explosive diarrhea of an elephant”. Things that might be fun to learn to say…

I haven’t seen Our Groceries listed yet. I don’t know Grocy so I don’t know how this one compares, bells-wise, but it’s pretty straightforward, you can share a list with any number of users, and manage/add/edit/remove lists and items via a web app or mobile app.

I’ve sent the devs more than one feature suggestion / bug report, and they were impressively responsive and forthcoming.

I’m not an artist, I just need the occasional hack job or screenshot annotation.

I loved the simple programs (this love stems from all the way back to MacPaint v1.0) and MS Paint has largely been ok for me apart from its lack of png support and only 90° rotations.

On Linux, Pinta has been fantastic but these last few years it got increasingly more crashy, to the point where it will now consistently crash within 10 seconds or two clicks, regardless of Linux distro / laptop/pc / version of Pinta. (insert “whyyyyy” meme here)

I’ve tried Krita, but it’s simply too much. Don’t even want to try installing Gimp. I am sad.

Thank you for that information.

One might also say, with the dire current state of browser competition, it won’t make much of a difference.

I’m just privately hopping that Firefox won’t lose its last few percent market share and go the way of the dodo. 🤞🥹

The pictured kings of turbine works very well with wind from any direction. I’d be more concerned about having low friction bearings so cost to sea water.

Yes, I’m really confused about this article - isn’t what you describe still in effect? Why on earth not? (I haven’t used Windows in ages so I personally have never seen that.)

Zoe: swears in Chinese

Subtitle: “[SPEAKS GALACTIC LANGUAGE]”

FU, everyone knows that that’s a real language and probably a very juicy phrase that would be absolute golden to know for some other occasion!

^(PSA there exists a site with every phrase translated and explained)

And it’s working.

So many people believe that Covid was a way to scare us all indoors, so they could change batteries in all the birds.

That’s preposterous.

Birds use rechargeables, that’s why they’re always sitting on the power lines. Like, duh, wake up sheeple.

I once read a beautifully indisputable piece on how Jar Jar Binks is a highly skilled Sith Lord. It’s all a front!

I went directly from a dot matrix (ImageWriter II ftw!) to a laser. Except for photo prints, I find it immensely practical to be able to print stuff at home.

Emoji passwords made me think of the Lotus Notes password prompt with their little images that changed as I typed (which never really made sense to me).

Yes, I’m old…

It’s been a while since I saw good old 4281 referenced. 👍

As a recent divorcee: fuck this hurts.

More comedic than dramatic, and more “highly unlikely” than “dumb luck”, but this one time I fell while skiing. It happens, I was a reckless kid as many are.

But this? This was on a flat, broad, almost level stretch connecting two pistes, and me and my dad were basically just cruising along. I don’t know what, but something happened and I face planted, stopping instantly.

One ski out to the side, the other… vertical? Stuck into the piste at a right angle, all the way from the tip to the binding… without becoming detached from my boot. The mechanism worked fine, mind you, it just hadn’t disengaged. There was no gash in the snow, no entry mark, just hard packed piste with half a ski sticking out of it like so much sword in a stone.

Not an alarm, but a timer app.

MultiTimer is brilliant for having a dashboard of purpose made timers that I use all the time (weekly baking, laundry, tea timer, etc) and ad hoc timers.

You seem knowledgeable in this matter, so let me ask you: is this harmful to humans? What is the harm of this watermelon virus?
