Yesterday i was at my favorite coiffeur because I couldn't stand the long hair anymore that constantly fell into my face and was heating up my back neck. Now my hair is short again such that I do not need my hair drier for a while because it dries quickly on its own. I also gave a bigger tip.

@adiwan Curious, do you have establishments that might be more of a "barber shop" situation? Like, in the USA, there's sort of a "barber for men, salon for women" thing going on. I kind of like the idea of just a neutral "haircut place."
-
@scribus Most places I know in Germany and Poland offer cutting hair both for men and women but they are sectioned off in a way, men front, women back (with or without a wall in between). Smaller places with less traffic do not have that.
There are only very few places that are highly specialized on either gender, like for men and offering more services for beard grooming.
My favorite place has men in the front and women in the back. It's a Turkish lead establishment that has some fancy services like pulling eye brow hair with string for both genders, often used by people with monobrow tendencies and the pulling of the hair creates a very clean look without stubbles.

Haha I didn't realize I was even buying a curved monitor, this is w e i r d

@scribus I saw a curved monitor at a store recently. I get why some people want them but I am on the side that who wants the screen flat, except for retro games (NES, SNES) the screen can bulge out a little bit.
-
@adiwan It's not especially pronounced. I've seen some that were gnarly, like you need peripheral engaged to see anything, but this isn't too bad. I think I'm more tripped out by how wide it is, coming off of the laptop life. :p
-
@scribus I can feel that. When I had my 50'' 4k TV in front of me it was slightly overwhelming. Before that my 24'' 1920x1200 PC display was huge when I upgraded from a 15'' CRT. On the laptop side I highly prefer the 13'' size.

Well, the line for my online order is so long that I may not be getting a new computer after all

@adiwan Eh, I wanted a hassle-free shopping experience, resulting in me owning a future-expandable desktop computer. Indifferent as to pre-built or DIY, except for reasons I need a Windows license so

@lnxw48a1 And people thought that Microsoft learnt their lesson and stopped shoving Microsoft Edge down their usees throats.
This second wave is more aggressive than the first one ever was.
The "new Microsoft" in action.-
@lnxw48a1 @xrevan86 Wait for the next release, that drive thing is even more annoying about signing up and not sure if it is a thing now but they have added a M$ rewards thing. W10 insider setting window image.
Microsoft Rewards Get on board with Microsoft Rewards

Both series are tons better than Pony Life.

I'm so glad that "Amphibia" and "The Owl House" is back.

> People outside of the former USSR don’t really know about the siege. They often confuse it with the Siege of Stalingrad, by which they mean the Battle of Stalingrad, which was also a big deal, but not like the
Siege of Leningrad.
Indeed we don't and indeed we do.> 1.5m people died in the siege. It was and remains the largest-ever depopulation of any city in human history.
Woah.- xrevan86 repeated this.

According to my city's website there are only two known COVID cases in care currently. A silver lining.

The swallows are flying like crazy these days as the flying ants and other bugs are very active right now. I cannot air my apartment without having some bugs in.

@adiwan I just had three little bats in my backyard. Like Addams Family meets Bob Marley... heheh
-
@scribus A long time ago there were a few bats. I don't know if there are any now. Even back then they were hard to spot flying in the twilight.
-
@adiwan Yeah, they're tiny and quick under bad lighting, lol. I didn't even bother to try a picture or video.

-
@vegos Right, I've forgotten about this.
Made a patch that fixes it. Seems to be working fine so far. -
@6gain Haiku, eh? Let me try…
civil unrest there
chieftain's terms reset in here
quite a pickle -
it’s been brought to my attention that this very embarrassing incident from my past has been made public. words cannot express how sorry I am to anyone I hurt http://rainbowdash.net/url/875557

People keep telling me there’s actual logic behind The Simpsons’ production codes but I know they’re just as confused as I am. Only a maniac would label the first production season “7G”.

@lnxw48a1 Well, don't think of -18°C or +38°C as those limit temperatures then.
As you said, those are approximate numbers, so it's just circular logic to say that round Fahrenheit degrees are more round than the corresponding degrees Celsius. Just round degrees Celsius then, to -20°C and +40°C. Which do have symmetry as well.
But it's not like running naked in wind with -10°C is safe, so the margin of error is way too big either way.
As a counterargument I can say that 0°C being the point of water freezing (under "normal" conditions) is useful in daily lives too, as it affects weather, reliability of ice, all that kind of stuff. -
800 pages left and I have finished reading all of the Inu Yasha manga. Roundabout 10300 pages for the whole thing.

@adiwan Thank god Tolkien didn't live to work in the medium. Then again, maybe "The Hobbit" would justify three movies...
-
@scribus The Hobbit is a short book but it compresses time a lot and a lot and things are not very well told because they come somewhat out of nowhere. 3 movies is a bit much, I can agree that 2 would be very fine.
Reading Inu Yasha to the end was easier than Lord of the Rings. I HATE all those lengthy scenic descriptions in LOTR and my brain fades out too quickly to get past them. LOTR would work a lot better as a comic because those would be held to a brief instance and not minutes and multiple pages. To be frank: Inu Yasha has also big pacing issues. It could have been easily cut in half without losing too much of its substance. Towards the end it got DBZ-like when it comes to stretching the content and delay the inevitable.

watching all these 1930s Mickey Mouse shorts in HD feels wrong somehow
Wednesday, 24-Jun-20 08:10:40 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation Pretend watching them in the cinema in the 1930s. The old film resolution is somewhat close to 2K resolution. You just need a film grain filter and bad speakers, and maybe an old-timey seat.

Downtime was because the server had a SSD that failed. No data from LoadAverage was on that SSD, but the hypervisor OS was, so that made things dicey. Sorry for the fuss. There will be a hopefully short downtime sometime in the future to remove the failed drive. A replacement is already in place.
Why the drive failed is unknown, it seemed rather out of the blue, but as far as we can tell, the controller just upped and went. It won't even SMART test.- xrevan86 repeated this.
-
@chimo Well, yea, just as a specific tool to plug some issues of the time travel concept.
It could be seen as "creating new timelines" while travelling, while also not actually creating anything, just throwing out of synch. -
> I always think it's funny that people don't specify.
@musicman @lnxw48a1 And then this happens: https://bugs.debian.org/915209 :-). -
> the 90s were definitely cooler than most recent years.
@musicman @lnxw48a1 Is this a climate change discussion? -
> so you better be supporting Black Lives Matter
@waifu I don't know enough about everything that happens under that name, and it's not really up to anyone specifically I guess. So I wouldn't expect you to sign up for it all, and I hope you don't expect that from me (the notice's a bit ambiguous).
But I think we can all agree on that police brutality is a thing, black people's lives do matter and George Floyd should've been alive today.
As far as I know, that's the idea. -
@waifu@nulled.red Well, I wouldn't really expect someone from the US to prioritise issues in Hungary over local or international (one can argue it is international by being systemic though).
But intentionally inventing offensive connotations to words to then fight them is so Don Quixote I can't find any good reason for this no matter how hard I try.
I stumbled upon this video: https://youtu.be/igtLqhX4BCA, that argues the word "marijuana" is offensive, and even it makes a better point.
It's like people are so unsure what is and isn't offensive they will use their personal judgement no more – if someone on the Internet says it is then it is.
I've seen so much interesting logic around the Putin's upcoming reset. Seeing even more level-headed reasoning is making me anxious. -
With all the crazy stuff happening, maybe this year can be the year of the Linux Desktop!
