Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why does my cat like to go into the bathroom and take my towel off the holder and then leave?
64·2 years agoI had a cat that used to push things off the coffee table. Anything that rolled, like pens or batteries, would eventually find their way under the couch… to the point where I would look there first if I couldn’t find something.
I remember once stacking spare coins into a pile on the table. He sat there, patiently watching me do it and looked me directly in the eye while his paw pushed them onto the floor again.
It was that moment that made me question his motives. Did he enjoy it the way that a toddler enjoys peek-a-boo? Was it about watching things fall or was the fun in knowing that I would have to clean it up again?
The way he looked at my face while he did made it seem like he enjoyed pissing me off more than anything.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is there a way switch all keyboard shortcuts from Ubuntu to be the same as MacOS?
1·2 years agoI’ve had a lot of success with Toshy a per application keymapper which runs in the background and does all the heavy lifting automatically.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Does anyone know why SteamOS is based on arch rather than Debian?
12·2 years agoI suspect KDE because most PC gamers are Windows users and KDE is closer to that while Gnome is closer to macOS (both in design and being restrictive).
For what it’s worth, when I moved from macOS to Linux I found that KDE Plasma customisation made it less frustrating to get the appearance and multitouch gestures closer to what I was missing on a Mac.
For anyone looking for the spider, it’s easier to see with the original

[Outdated, please look at pinned post] Casual Conversation@lemmy.world•How long before Windows becomes a subscription service?English
3·2 years agoI think it would be similar to Office.
For example, there would be Windows with a subscription for the activation key. You would continue to get a period of free use (14 or 30 days maybe) before requiring an activation key.
Manufacturers would bundle new hardware purchases with 24 months of credit or something like that, so most people wouldn’t notice a change at first.
However, Windows “Classic” would still exist and allow one-off purchases, but may have some limitations to updates or features over time.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a video game that you'd love to play, but no one has developed yet?
11·2 years agoAn Interstate 76 sequel/remake with modern graphics, physics, controls, etc.
The vehicle combat in Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 gave me a bit of a glimpse of that.
I use Toshy https://github.com/RedBearAK/toshy
There’s some small issues with the alt key behaviour in some applications (and workarounds for that), but other than that it works really well for my OS X configured brain.

Terrible Estate Agent Photos@feddit.uk•when home security is an afterthought
23·2 years agoNot sure this is real but it’s the closest I could find to the origin of the image dated April 2nd, 2021.
in much more interesting news, today at work I got to explore an abandoned 500-year-old castle, seized by the state because of the owner’s massive tax evasion
So yes the place is 500yo, but it has been renovated 40 years ago, after being half destroyed during WWII. So it’s got ugly 80s decor vibes. And yes it’s called a château

Technology@kbin.social•Google sued over fatal Google Maps error after man drove off broken bridge
5·2 years ago“At the conclusion of the party, Mrs. Paxson took her daughters home while Mr. Paxson stayed to help clean up after the party. After Mr. Paxson assisted in the party cleanup, he drove his Jeep Gladiator towards his home in Hickory.”
Philip Paxson wasn’t familiar with the area and didn’t know the bridge was collapsed, the lawsuit said. “Google Maps directed Mr. Paxson to travel home over the Snow Creek Bridge. Unbeknownst to Mr. Paxson, a very large section of the Snow Creek Bridge had collapsed in 2013 and was never repaired,” the lawsuit said.
There was no artificial lighting, “and the area was pitch black at 11:00 p.m.,”
Seems pretty simple to me. I have put complete faith in Google maps in poor lighting before and it’s literally never occurred to me that it may direct me over a bridge that doesn’t exist.

Technology@lemmy.world•Neuralink’s human trials volunteers ‘should have serious concerns,’ say medical expertsEnglish
21·2 years agoReading this story I decided to boycott everything related to Elon Musk.
Additional veterinary reports show the condition of a female monkey called “Animal 15” during the months leading up to her death in March 2019. Days after her implant surgery, she began to press her head against the floor for no apparent reason; a symptom of pain or infection, the records say. Staff observed that though she was uncomfortable, picking and pulling at her implant until it bled, she would often lie at the foot of her cage and spend time holding hands with her roommate.
Animal 15 began to lose coordination, and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers. Her condition deteriorated for months until the staff finally euthanized her. A necropsy report indicates that she had bleeding in her brain and that the Neuralink implants left parts of her cerebral cortex “focally tattered.”

He does. It’s an old Disney scam where they slightly rename a series to reset contract terms back to first season. Needs to be addressed by all the guilds/unions and crushed!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Gamers. What was the game that got you into the hobby?
3·2 years agoFirst game was Safari Race on a Sega SC-3000. After that mainly played PC games when they were a thing and had a 1st gen Gameboy.
I gave up on games and tried to adult through my 20s… but after a bad breakup I bought an Xbox-360 and Skyrim and it’s been a hobby ever since.

I’ve used the Spoiler Protection 2.0 extension in the past, though it hasn’t been updated in a long time so there may be a better option.
It doesn’t block content but places a big red overlay over links, headlines, images (that are tagged) and videos. It’s not fool proof but definitely useful if you want to block “Trump” or “Musk” or whatever else.
