Adjusting for overscan in the 2000s…

My parents have been married for nearly 50 years. My Dad likes to introduce her as “my first wife.”

Everybody arguing rock, stone, or pebble.

It’s a jpeg.

I want to see how that cane works.

It works well, and I’m a huge fan and contributor to Open Street Maps (which it’s bassed on). But it doesn’t do traffic, which is unfortunately wha I need from my navigation apps 99% of the time.

If they had a paid option to cover the costs of using TomTom’s traffic API, I’d make the switch.

Yeah, and try as we might, we haven’t been able to replicate its biggest selling point. It was unfortunately also its greatest vulnerability regarding the corporatetake over.

It was a central location from which thousands of large, niche communities could be found.

Lemmy is great, but the decentralized nature of it also fragments small communities and makes it hard for them to launch. I was super active of the Scuba subreddit, but on Lemmy, there are like 8 scuba communities spread across the instances, but they’re all so small there’s no activity on them, and that fragmentation makes it difficult for one to reach the necessary critical mass to become active.

Please tell me they flushed the signs.

They took 3 weeks to attach my new plotter to the network because they didn’t know how to figure out how to trace a fucking Cat 5 cable.

We have 12 employees in the city. My home office has a more complicated network closet.

Oh, I’ve tried the shared mailbox thing. I had it at my last city and it worked fine, but our third-party IT service contractor here is the shittiest I’ve ever heard of.

Autism has always been here. But instead of labeling someone as autistic and trying to improve understanding and communication, people were like, “That’s a weird dude.”

I work in government, and on mobile devices Outlook government accounts are restricted so that all other accounts have to be removed from the app.

It sounds like a great security feature, but since I need access to 3 accounts for reasons, I’ve got one version installed on my city phone, one on my tablet, and had to install another on my personal phone.

We’re budgeting in a second city phone for me next year because Outlook sucks.

It also feels like something Kavenaugh would have been into.

The end part about Americans traveling the world being respected again in 2010 is really depressing in 2025.

They are the reason I think I severely underestimate that sucess rate of junk mail. They essentially mail me a phone book 5 times a year ro my home and my office and I have ordered exactly zero products from them ever.

It can’t be cheap to send all those catalogs, so they must work.

I do not know and will never try to find out.

It used to be better. The subtitles were all in 13375p34k if you turned them on, but it looks like they got replaced by the YouTube automated subtitles at some point.

Found someone who can help.

It’s not zoning.

It’s when places developed. The super spread-out metroplexes of the US are in areas that developed after the invention of the automobile.

Europe isn’t more enlightened when it comes to development. They’re just older. Cities tend to develop around most people living within an hour of where they work. When the US urbanized, that was a much larger area due to technological advancements. Rolling that back is almost impossible.

Believe it or not, not everyone lives in dense urban areas or the suburbs.

And the scale of the US isn’t something most Europeans understand. How long does it take you drive across your country? In the US, a drive from Southern California to Maine is over 48 hours and around 5000 kilometers.

The Texas Triangle megalopolis (Houston, Dallas, San Antonio) is bigger than lots of European countries.

I tried saying “bippity bopping boo” just now, but it didn’t move my house 20 miles closer to the grocery store.
