If you suddenly developed it without any major accidents (like your eardrums burst from pressure) or continued harmful noises (construction is a big one). You should probably get it checked

Could be a symptom of an underlying issue and it might go away if you fix that

If you come back from that and it genuinely is tinnitus, then I recommend:

1. Keeping your mind distracted. Mostly easy if you are doing day to day stuff, hard when you’re trying to sleep
2. Play ambient noises. I like ocean waves if I have problems with mine, it helps drown out the static
3. Exercise. Doesn’t actually help reduce it, but it does help make your body ignore it IMO, and makes it easier to fall asleep.

Refurbished is great when you know who is refurbishing it

Just gotta be wary of factory refurbished versus 3p refurbished, there’s a lot of variance when its not from a factory

You might have scalp psoriasis. I always thought I just had bad dandruff and tried shampoo and leave in treatments and they didn’t really work. I got it checked and it’s actually just psoriasis (plus regular dandruff too, but the dandruff was exponentially worse because of my psoriasis). You could maybe get a dermatologist to prescribe a topical steroid. It helped for my case (you might still need a dandruff shampoo to go along with it)

Tangentially related but if anyone likes sea horror, here’s one about a mining rig, specifically one that uses pontoons.

Minecraft, played since beta 1.5 (sometime like 2011 or 2012 ish). I probably have 3k or 4k hours in it

Terraria, cant calculate entirely because kid me pirated the early versions but I’d guess 2k or so between vanilla and modded

League as well unfortunately. Met some cool people from it through my 3k or so hours

The only other game above 1k is TF2

The real vibe coding is a bottle of beer and a lotta fuck it

Test driven development is moreso

1. You know what real life scenarios you’re solving for. Basically, this is the problem statement of your design.
2. You write out these tests to say your service must pass these tests in order for it to be considered working. In order to consider problem x solved, the service must do y.
3. You make the first iteration of your service to just repeat exactly what the tests want it to output (basically to create a skeleton with a bunch of magic numbers)
4. You make the second iteration. What magic numbers can you remove and actually implement for? What workaround can be fixed? Are they still passing the test? If they start failing the test, you should relook at what you wrote and debug from there (this assumes your tests are rightfully written).
5. You keep continuing with that process until you have a service that fits your test cases and without mocks

The obvious flaw is that 1 is almost never truly accurate. Scope usually changes, and assumptions made probably invalidate your test. It is a valid way of thinking though, because it helps define your expectations, and reduces the likelihood of you making something that misses the target.

Just because he apologized and is on the path to rehab doesn’t mean I have to accept him. Like sure I wish him the best to be better, but I don’t necessarily need to accept him.

The thing is that there are real measurements of the market share of windows dropping. The only reason why adoption of w11 overtook w10 user size is because they made w10 end of life (although there are still ways around)

Unfortunately, some business idiot mathed up that losing users is fine as long as the others get forced onto w11

Windows could have done so much differently. More seamless integration with xbox and cross platform for gaming. Different, easily swappable profiles (windows) for different tasks (basically overhauling desktops, like for art, dev work, etc). Optimizing microsofts enterprise software suite without all the bloat. Not deprecating the idea of android support.

But like all big tech companies, they only see money now

I wish windows went down a different path. Instead they decided to double down on ads and ai, because shareholders are more important than the actual customers

Love is dead pack it up

“My lawyers advise me to not comment on this further” is my statement of choice for most situations

Tbh if its a social/discussion based website, it will have federal agents monitoring it. Lemmy isn’t free from this either, though in our defense we are probably pretty low on the watchlist (but then again who knows)

That’s because the people who are fine or happy with firefox aren’t the type of people to talk about it, the vocal ones are the people that have complaints

Also swapped to Niagara a few years back and paid for the pro license last year or so

Been pretty worth, though I kinda miss the customization options of using kwlp+nova

The same investors that brought

• Unskippable ads to every platform including your refrigerator
• Removing previously free or basic features just to put them behind a paywall
• Fucking AI this AI that and subsequently making everything more expensive
• Subscription based models on software and the stupid you own nothing idea
• The prevalence of data collection everywhere

The list can go on and on

HAHAH you mean the same investors who decided to ruin the internet for shareholder value? Yea let me just place the same source of evil and maybe this time it’ll work

How tf are hdds going up in price

Did the data centers somehow buy up all the sdds and decided nah we need more, lets buy up all the hdds too

Like ???

At this rate i gotta start grabbing my old drives to reuse because apparently 2010 equipment is back on the plate or smth
