flyingjake@lemmy.oneto Android@lemmy.world•PSA: Nova Launcher is owned by an analytics companyEnglish5·1 year agoSame here, I was a big fan of Nova until I discovered Niagara about a year ago. It’s a totally different concept from the icon based launchers. I love the minimalist approach to widgets and the self optimizing app list. Tying it in with sesame has led me that product as well and I’m finding the whole solution to be really nice
Christmas is already after New Year’s in the current calendar year ;)

flyingjake@lemmy.oneto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This person's rejection reasonEnglish413·1 year agoI wonder if an argument could be made that birthdate is a component of your genetic information including family medical history? It is also potentially age discrimination?
flyingjake@lemmy.oneto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Star Trek Resurgence GiveawayEnglish2·2 years agoFunny I never had much Star Trek gaming experience but have recently gotten into gaming more and been a lifelong Trek fan (maybe not an official Trekkie tho). this game looks pretty interesting and I’m now just learning about it since I also don’t pay attention to the epic store!
Well I feel like I acquired both a new point of view and a chuckle with this one, so thank you Internet friend 😌
flyingjake@lemmy.onetoPolitics@lemmy.ml•The Fox GOP debate melted down when the word “climate” was mentioned1·2 years agoYeah, the windows would open. But, honestly some days were gross. But US school would end by mid June and start in September so there’s only a few hot days to worry about, you might hit over 80F /27c a few times at most.
flyingjake@lemmy.onetoPolitics@lemmy.ml•The Fox GOP debate melted down when the word “climate” was mentioned9·2 years agoI grew up in the northeast and none of the schools had central air. It’s not hot enough before summer break to justify it. At least historically…

God bless - nothing wrong with having the right tool for the job and not being frivolous. I too have an overly large truck but it’s a 3/4 ton (2500 HD) and almost 15 years old. I don’t drive it more than necessary but I own 20 acres and often enough I need to tow, haul or pull something that I couldn’t do without it. I’m going to keep this thing on the road until it dies or there’s an economically viable green alternative. But it’s crazy to think of the resources that go into a new one and I couldn’t justify it for a few mpg better, so I’m very happy to have a trustworthy mechanic 😁
And, while I really like the Rivian and the F150 lightening, they would be glorified very expensive toys and I’d still need to keep my big truck for the hard jobs, so they’ll wait till I win the lottery ¯(ツ)/¯
flyingjake@lemmy.oneto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•A friend of mine says they don’t wanna “yuck my yum” whenever they’re about to trash something I like and it infuriates me, mildlyEnglish3·2 years agoThanks for your comment, certainly there are people like yourself who mean those words earnestly to convey a delicate point. I also imagine that comes out in your demeanor and character when you are saying that to someone.
Unfortunately, in my experience, many people say it without any sense of empathy or compassion at all despite the literal meaning. 😕
flyingjake@lemmy.oneto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•A friend of mine says they don’t wanna “yuck my yum” whenever they’re about to trash something I like and it infuriates me, mildlyEnglish48·2 years agoWhile I’m definitely one to get mildly irritated at the phrasing (and am even more irritated by “fur babies” lol), I’m really bothered by people excusing their own rudeness - right up there with saying “no offense” right before being deliberately offensive. Like if you don’t want to yuck my yum or cause offense then why are you about to do it anyway?
flyingjake@lemmy.oneto Technology@beehaw.org•How Amazon Taught Alexa to Speak in an Irish BrogueEnglish1·2 years agoReally interesting to know that the current regional flavors of a language are all separately trained. This new model layering the accent on top is intriguing. I wonder how word choice factors in, pronunciation is one clear point but things like “wee” vs “little”, “wicked” vs “hella” vs “very”, “pram” vs “stroller” I’m sure is an interesting challenge.
You actually think they came through with a meal for those guys? I’m betting that bill was left unpaid
