That would be in every thread, from the most pro-communism to the most anti-communism threads.

Android@lemmy.world•Fairphone 5 - The Ars Technica ReviewEnglish
1·3 years agoI’ve gone through many pairs of headphones too, I’ve worked from home for years and had a long-distance relationship in a time before smartphones (and before cheap wireless headphones) so Skype+headphones was the solution. Both driving over them with an office chair and accidentally pulling them were real dangers and caused real damage.
Now I just don’t use them anymore, since I have meetings on a company laptop, and the relationship is much closer.

22·3 years agoIt’s not the same care though. Wireless earbuds come with a box. For regular ones, I’d have to make a suitable box, and also carefully roll the cables every time.

Android@lemmy.world•Fairphone 5 - The Ars Technica ReviewEnglish
143·3 years agoThe battery will fail to hold charge and they will become useless. Not the truth for wired headphones.
I don’t know how you use your headphones, but in my case I switched to wireless because every single pair of wired headphones I had would break. Usually the cable, earbuds because they were in my pocket, and the overhead ones I’d drive over with my office chair.
Switched to wireless a couple years ago, no issues since then.

Technology@beehaw.org•FCC says “too bad” to ISPs complaining that listing every fee is too hard
25·3 years agoThat’s still my favorite EU legislation. The price that is displayed must be equal (or higher, discounts are still allowed) to the price that you pay. Taxes, tips, fees, everything must be included in the price.
“Team restructuring” is so much fun, you never know what you’re going to get.
Your boss’s boss now reports to a slightly different VP? Everyone is getting fired? No way to know which it’s going to be, until the end of the meeting.
34, Slovenia, same story.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into?
21·3 years agoThere’s nothing “inexpensive” about that though.
On the other hand, I recently started doing the other kind of magic with cards. That sounds really cheap, all you need is a $5 deck of Bicycle cards, some YouTube tutorials, and you’re all set. Turns out, that can be a money sink as well if you decide to go deep (or wide) enough. Still far less than MTG though.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL The Katy Freeway in Houston, TX was expanded in 2008 to 26 lanes (one of the widest in the world) and 5 years later had longer peak travel times than before the expansionEnglish
42·3 years agoWhere are the bridges? How do you walk from one side to the other?
Oh yeah, right, of course. But how do you even drive from one side to the other?
A Windows version becomes considered “good” the exact moment a next version is released. No sooner, no later. Those are the rules.

Movies and TV Shows@lemmy.film•‘Frasier’ Revival Sets Premiere Date at Paramount+, First Two Episodes to Air on CBS (+teaser).English
9·3 years agoNo Niles?
I was a pretty big fan of Frasier so I’ll probably try to see at least one episode (when I can get it in Europe), but I don’t have hopes up. It seems nobody else does either.
On the other hand, Rodney Trotter? This just seems weird.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is the biggest lesson that employment has taught you?
24·3 years agoCan confirm, not in retail but a fully remote programmer, managers are still very often concerned that “everybody has something to do” much more than “everything gets done”.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Absolutely nothing of note happened in China in June 1989, right?
33·3 years agoThe Solidarity movement, started as a series of labor strikes, formed into a large trade union and then a political movement demanding workers’ rights, actual worker control over means of production, and similar socialist policies. It forced and won a public election in 1989, which in turn led to the end of communist (and Russian) rule in Poland.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Absolutely nothing of note happened in China in June 1989, right?
494·3 years agoNo, there was another one, interestingly at the exact same time, in Poland. They don’t like that one either.

If we can’t solve every mathematical problem, there’s gonna be things in science that aren’t solvable either.
Not at all, math and science are very different things. Math is a fixed system of rules that we constructed. Within these rules, there are possible statements which cannot be proven or disproved using only those same rules.
Science is different, we don’t know the rules but we observe, measure, and make predictions. It’s not possible to “solve” physics but that’s because we can’t make infinitely accurate measurements, there’s nothing systemic to prevent us from making a complete theory.
