Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Too weird for the normal people, too normal for the weird people...English
23·12 hours agoNot sure if this will help you in your personal life, but I’ve been in your position and I’ve found I can be a “translator” in the workplace. You should be a PM of developers or something!

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there Fluoride in your water? Do you want it? English
7·3 days agoThe way a dentist explained it to me is that having it in the drinking water helps kids whose teeth are still developing and will integrate it directly into the tissue. After that, topical via toothpaste and in office treatments helps adults.
BUT take that with a grain of salt because (1) drinking water fluoride should have topical benefits too right? And (2) you should place more trust in organizations and bodies of research than a secondhand anecdote from a single dentist.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there Fluoride in your water? Do you want it? English
8·3 days agoCanada here. Not aware of any limitations advertised.
I can taste the variations in chlorine and iron content between cities and towns (pipe vs well water). I’m assuming that would overpower any fluoride taste if it’s even sensible.
Context? I feel like I’m behind on internet.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Any way to make nextcloud more like Google Photos? (Solved!)English
1·3 days agoNo mobile app…at least not iOS. Did you find one for Android?
I just place a bookmark to the web interface on my home screen to trick me into the “app feel”.
What was that one again? Paste special? Yeah I can’t believe I’ve gotten used to Alt,h,v,s

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Any way to make nextcloud more like Google Photos? (Solved!)English
1·3 days agoI don’t think you should switch away from Immich, this was just an “embedded in Nextcloud” suggestion. Sometimes nice to quickly glance at my photo library from the mobile app, esp if confirming uploads went through.
I’ve never experienced that bug, glad you were backed up. Also got HEIC working, I think it involved adding a line to the PreviewGenerator php conf.
wabasso@lemmy.catoHome Improvement@lemmy.world•How to fix this crack in the shower wall?English
1·3 days agoJust curious, did you end up removing enough material to observe any mold growth? I’m always wondering how bad these things actually get behind the scenes.

13·3 days agoMemories has come a long way.
I don’t think it has the specific features you requested, sorry. But I like it as something that’s baked into my Nextcloud container (esp. as I haven’t had the time to set up Immich yet).
I assume it’s meant tongue-in-cheek. A jab at the ancestors who used the term to exert their oppression, and a means of taking back the word as we’ve seen with other derogatory terms.
Yeah makes sense. Even if you include “all” marginalized groups that’s a far cry from “everyone”.
Also agree the ship has sailed on using the rainbow-only flag to mean everything. Thanks for responding to my thought anyway.
Totally agree. And I think it’s also compounded by Windows becoming a more hostile OS to power users. There are some shortcuts in Office based on the Menu (! Not the Ribbon !) that still work and I know it’s just a matter of time before those go away too. Really feels like the Dark Ages for PC computing (other than the side effect of the rise of Linux).
I guess I can see how it gets messy when you have to figure out visibility. Like could it be seen as concern over the TQ “Not All Men-ing” the movement?
I know that’s a stretch…
Also can I ask an ignorant question from the outside? I always thought the rainbow flag was future-proofed and didn’t understand adding other colors. The rainbow is already the full spectrum of visible light meaning you could change the messaging to include others and keep the same symbol. Thoughts?

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that smokers are 30% to 50% more likely to suffer from erection problems that men who don't smokeEnglish
32·4 days agoPfft that’s why you’re supposed to smoke after sex.
It’s weird they pitch it as community accountability, then in the same breath acknowledge you can’t control what other people say about you (i.e. don’t judge everyone who appears in there).







We might still have F12 for that, but these days you usually have to Fn key your way to its natural function.
