In some places it’s too close, but in many places (like the top) it’s way too far away.

I… don’t think this helps your case.

I have never heard of this before, and was born in '97. It’s always been Christmas and Christmas Eve. Weird.

Ngl I think the concept is kinda funny.

Wait, I heard about this and assumed the money had changed hands in the opposite direction. Why the fuck would Disney be paying OpenAI to use their intellectual property? That’s not how that has ever worked.

I largely agree with your comment, the person you replied to is unhinged, but I gotta tell you that Christmas day is the 25th. Often advent calendars will have either 24 or 25 days in them, it just depends on the calendar.

This is a obviously correct comment, but if something is in the house, I’m gonna be snacking on it. The only solution for me was to make the decision to eat healthy at the grocery store, not at home.

Best example of this is zero calorie vegatiable oil cooking spray. The serving size is a hilarious 1 second squirt, which contains so few calories that they’re allowed to mark the can as zero calorie.

I have an original spare tire in my 1993 Subaru Loyale, and probably also in my 1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale, it’ll prolly be fine.

Watching Technology Connections recent final (probably not final) video on dishwashers made me really want an open source dishwasher where you can program your own cycles. Maybe over the next few years hacking appliances will become common, doing what Valetudo has done for robot vacuums.

I already self host my popcorn, I even have an air popper.

Yeah. I’m not saying I like it or that it’s how it should be. It’s just how it is. I basically go to reddit last these days.

Niche communities that simply don’t exist on Lemmy. If your only hobbies are tech, lemmy probably covers all of your bases, but there are nearly no niche non-tech communities here.

I actually did the thing where you don’t have your phone in bed.

I 3d modeled and printed a double decker wall mounted shelf that perfectly fits my partner’s and my phones, including embedded wireless chargers. It hangs on the wall outside our door, so we can still use wireless headphones to listen to music/whatever. I also installed a couple of super simple games on my watch that I play when I’m struggling to get to sleep. If I really can’t sleep, I grab my phone and go to the living room to fiddle about - though sometimes I try to be productive - then come back to bed when I feel tired. I also don’t do books in bed, as I tend or go full ADHD and finish novels in a single night.

This has been going on for nearly a year now, and it definitely 1000% helps me to get to sleep sooner after I get in bed. It’s hard to stick to it, but if you can, you will feel healthier.

Man I just want slightly tweaked BeamNG physics in all other games that involve driving. BeamNG in GTA. BeamNG in Forza. BeamNG in Far Cry, BeamNG in, hell, Tokyo Extreme Racer - ok maybe not that one.

A baby monitor is for a small child, a babe monitor is for the bedroom.

The Linux approach did take some getting used to, of course, but mounting drives to folders just makes too much sense. The only qualm I’ve had with it is if the drive doesn’t get mounted and stuff gets written to that folder, which, AFAIK, isn’t possible in windows.

Also, tbf (and balanced), windows also supports mounting drives to folders iirc, it’s just a weird way to do it.

What worked for me is just setting an alarm for 8 hours from when I get in bed, or when I need to be up, whichever comes first. I wrote a Tasker automation to manage it for me, and all I have to do it press a button when I go to bed.

You’d be excited for a Linux distro that’s less open and owned by Google? Forget about the AI, why would I want Android on my PC where better alternatives exist?

I ran Jellyfin and plex for a while, using Jellyfin instead of plex at every oppurtunity. Then Jellyfin broke, I couldn’t figure out how to fix it in an evening, and I just went back to using Plex, which had continued working. It isn’t great, sure, but it’s fine. I think Jellyfin would need to be Immich levels of cool, or plex would actually need to be unusable for me to switch.
