  • I like to save memes from Lemmy to share with friends, and my messaging apps won't send webp's. I use Jerboa and when I long press on the image it says what file type it is. If it's webp, I either sigh and move on, or if it's a really good meme, I screenshot it and crop it. But it's a pain.

    Ironically, this post's image is also a webp

  • It's the male version of "foid" which is short for "femoid." I've never heard or seen "moid" before, like you say. I would have thought that female incels would be on the side of male incels, thinking that women were the problem, and the reason they couldn't sleep with anyone is because the pretty women are all sluts and taking all the men or something

  • Rule list

  • I agree with everything except the phantom menace. I think it should be C tier. I love the prequels but when I rawatched them last, the phantom menace stood out as being particularly slow paced and boring

  • Not very important but I remember it strangely well.

    I was 8 years old. My teacher asked "What is one hundred times one hundred?"

    I raised my hand and said "Ten thousand!"

    "No, it's one thousand. Ten times ten is one hundred, and one hundred times one hundred is one thousand."

    "But... It's ten thousand. Can I show you on a calculator?"

    "No! Sit down, it's one thousand. I'm the teacher, I should know."

    I later got a calculator and showed her and she didn't apologise.

  • Yep

  • The issue is, in practically, resumes don't have all indicators of race or gender removed.

    There have been several studies that suggest that the name on the resume is enough of an indicator of race and gender to let bias creep in. Even on otherwise identical resumes. I'm not sure if we're going to remove names from resumes any time soon.

    Snapper top-up fees: kiosk vs on your phone

    Now that Snapper cards have the 1.5% processing fee on phone top-ups, I did a little math to figure out the cut-off for topping up at a kiosk instead.

    Kiosks have a flat 25¢ fee to top up if you use a debit card.

    If you are topping up $15 or less, you should top up on your phone (the fee is 23¢ or less). Anything higher than that, you should top up at a kiosk.

    The best strategy is to top up as much as you can at a kiosk in one go.

  • Exactly, you get me. I was inspired to make this meme when someone else made nachos and grilled natural corn chips with cheese on top. I always use the cheese ones and was so excited, but then it was natural... Had cheese on it though so it was still all right

    Natural flavored corn chips are a blight on humanity and should be destroyed

    Pop_OS! help: system frequently freezes when updating

    Whenever I update a package or the system via the Pop! Shop, or downloading a game or updates from Steam, my desktop constantly freezes and hangs. It works perfectly fine otherwise.

    I was wondering whether this was common behaviour. It's a bit frustrating because it means I have to pick my moments to update to be when I can go do something else for a while and come back.

    If I'm on a Discord call and am doing an update or downloading a game on steam, the freezes mean that my friends can't hear me and I can't hear them.

    I've tried Googling it but haven't found anyone with this specific issue yet.

    I run a medium-power gaming desktop rig.

    Any advice on how to fix or improve this?

    Update:

    Here are my hardware specs. Sorry for not including them earlier; I was at work when I posted this.

    • Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. X570S GAMING X
    • RAM: 32 GiB
    • CPU: AMD® Ryzen 9 5900x 12-core processor × 24
    • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

    What is your least favourite acronym?

    Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn't translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

    Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.
