tab@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the underrated quote that will stick with you for life?19·4 months ago“(S)cience tends to progress through younger people, and old ideas tend to die with the originators of those ideas. through this cynical view, science progresses one coffin at a time.”
the Sting of the wild p142, J.O. Schmidt
tab@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why does it feel like evil is winning globally?4·4 months agobecause those candidates also sell easy answers to their fears. they make it seem like they can fix things, definitely. the fears are specific, simple, and aimed at selling specific solutions. people don’t vote to be scared, they’re scared into voting for a perceived authoritative saviour.
I think this is an oversimplification, but still makes sense.
tab@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your personal most hated company or corporation?1·4 months agoyeah, should’ve been PostBE if they were really serious about it anyway!
tab@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your personal most hated company or corporation?1·4 months agoreally? wow, that’s DHL/UPS for me - PostNL keeps my packages intact and delivers them just fine. DHL literally throws packages on the street here.
tab@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•people who know more than one language, are your settings in english or another language?4·5 months agosame - why try to decipher someone else’s often flawed attempts at translation, when the original text is available?
wife acceptance factor :)
tab@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is one video game cheat code that will you will always remember?11·5 months agoIDSPISPOPD … and I even remember what it abbreviates… why?
tab@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What app is so useful, you can’t believe it’s free?2·5 months agoI went for opnsense without even trying pfsense - purely because I don’t trust the company behind pfsense, and came across some mentions of their dubious behavior. No regrets, opnsense is pretty great.
tab@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•What's the greatest joy you have gotten from a video game?English3·6 months agoPlaying Left4Dead2 versus with 8 friends, running my own custom ‘Random’ mod. That game was so great to play matches in with the right people - and very fun to code sourcemod plugins for as well.
“If you can’t convince them, confuse them” also kinda works here…
tab@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•The Offspring, The Beastie Boys, Van Halen w/DLR, and the B52s. Are there other bands that rock, but are often silly/goofy and funny?3·1 year agoEstradasphere and Ween pop to mind
tab@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the strangest tech related bug you can't resolve?3·1 year agoMy digital tv reciever cannot receive a large range of channels when a mini pc, in off state, is plugged in on the same switch. It works fine when the UTP cable is not connected, it works fine when the mini pc is on, also fine when the pc had no power at all. Distance between pc and receiver does not matter, neither does the configuration of cables in the switch. I’ve given up on it, but sometimes the issue disappears for months, and then comes back for a while.
tab@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•What are the Top 3 Games that you have played in your lifetime?English1·2 years agoLeft 4 Dead 2 (multiplayer)
CloneHero/GuitarHero
Quake 3 Arena (or 2, or DooM for nostalgia points)
Honourable mentions: Disco Elysium, Nethack, Portal.
tab@sh.itjust.worksto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is your favorite insult in your native language that doesn't exist or cant be directly translated in English?6·2 years agoIn Dutch: ‘graftak’ is a beautiful way to indicate an annoying/terrible person. Literally: ‘grave-branch’, which sounds nowhere near as satisfying.
If you also disconnect the power, just remember that this drains the CMOS battery in the motherboard. That’s okay, just know that it may help to replace it if your machine has issues booting, time resets, etc.
