Well if it’s any consolation, it was a dumpster fire and they didn’t really miss anything.

They were probably also alluding to the long term effects it had on likely the people who are still the most influential age group still running the world.

what's your experience washing sneakers in the washing machine? by scytale in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Maybe you can try the ones that don’t have aluminum in them and just use corn starch. It’s similar to deodorant vs antiperspirant, with the latter being the most effective, because it has aluminum in it.

do humans shed more skin when sunbathing? by scytale in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

This is what I hate with sunscreen. It's so hard to wash off and the smell lingers. I just avoid the sun instead. lol

How about foot powder? Ever since I first tried it, I've never worn socks and shoes without putting on foot powder first ever again. It really helps with sweat and odor.

To the recruiters/HR, what are the criteria that are verified during background checks of employees? Do verifying agencies review social media accounts that applicants have on Reddit/Saidit/Lemmy etc? by scytale in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago

Unless they ask you for your reddit/lemmy account during the background check process and you willingly give it, I imagine they only go as far as checking social media accounts that are searchable with your known names, email addresses, and phone numbers on the major social media platforms. That's if you keep your lemmy account relatively anonymous of course.

Introducing Fedi Film Club by scytale in c/movies@lemm.ee

This is cool! I actually tried attending one of the past live watch parties but was in the middle of doing something as well so couldn’t really actively participate. A scheduled discussion thread at a set time sounds great.

Analysis: The fertility crisis is here and it will permanently alter the economy | CNN Business by scytale in c/news@lemmy.world

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 30 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I knew even before I opened the article it’s gonna be about fewer babies = fewer workers. Remember folks, when an article cites the “economy”, it just means the businesses and industries’ profits.

Microsoft really wants Local accounts gone after it erases its guide on how to create them by scytale in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 23 points 3 days ago

The difference is OP probably got their device with Windows already installed and they only needed to go through the setup steps. Setting up the installation media really is the biggest barrier of entry to linux right now. A lot of distros are so easy to set up with a step-by-step gui installer, but a lot of non technical users don’t have the knowledge, skill, or motivation to download an iso and create a bootable drive.

[US] Why don't city limits just follow county lines or vice versa? (lemm.ee)

My city's limits covers one county and half of the county north of it. Why don't they just follow the same lines on the map, with either the county following the city, or the city following the county line?

Which one is more energy/fuel efficient to cool the inside of the car: lower thermostat + lower fan speed, or slightly higher thermostat + higher fan speed? (lemm.ee)

On a hot day and traveling in a car, which method of keeping the occupants comfortable with the A/C is more energy and fuel efficient?

Set the thermostat to a lower temperature and keep fan speed to the lowest setting
Set the thermostat to a slightly higher temperature and compensate by setting the fan to a higher speed so you can feel cool enough with the breeze

DoH blocker for IOS: Mullvad or Aha DNS Blitz (lemm.ee)

submitted 7 months ago by scytale@lemm.ee to c/privacyguides@lemmy.one

6 comments fedilink

So I prefer to use a DNS blocker (DoH) on my IOS devices to block ads, malware, and trackers. For the longest time I’ve been using Aha DNS Blitz because it allows you to choose the exact filter lists you want to enable. Recently I saw Mullvad now has their own DoH service as well and I’m trying it out now. It’s not as customizable as you can only choose a combination of the general categories (ads, malware, tracking, social, gambling, etc.). On the other hand, Mullvad runs everything on RAM now and they are very transparent of their methods and have a proven track record.

I’d like to get the community’s opinion on which of the two you prefer and why.

Narwhal v2 now shows your api usage (files.catbox.moe)

submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by scytale@lemm.ee to c/reddit@lemmy.world

Narwhal released v2 of their app today to the general public. As a loyal narwhal user before I moved to lemmy, I still had the app on my phone so I checked it out.

The app now shows your api usage so you know how much you’ll need to pay based on your average browsing habits. It’s making users uncomfortable because they can’t browse carefree knowing the counter goes up every time they do something in the app.

Such a shame because the new app version is beautiful, but look at what reddit is forcing app devs to do just so their app can live on.

Not getting new color scheme on iPhone 14 Pro Max after IOS 17 update (lemm.ee)

submitted 9 months ago by scytale@lemm.ee to c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

5 comments fedilink

We have a 12 and 14 ProMax and I noticed the new color scheme change on the 12. For example, the yellow to red-orange change on the calculator buttons, and the blue to dark-blue change on the wifi/data/BT/airplane buttons in control center. However, it didn't change on the 14. Anyone know if there's a setting somewhere to change this?
