When will the floss stop hurting in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Try a waterpik, or just go easier on yourself. Also grandma is right, flossing is really good for you and will improve your oral health a lot. I floss basically after every time I eat, it's just automatic and feels so good to have clean teeth

Why are they cowards? Why would they care if it doesn't affect their daily lives? Obviously some people care, but the majority would indeed just shrug and go back to making ends meet.

Is it normal for the monitor to change setting (refresh rate) in exactly 6 seconds? in c/tech@kbin.social

Is it only when you turn the PC on? I have to imagine it's Arch initializing everything, and probably isn't unusual to run at a default refresh (60Hz) before getting the graphics driver loaded and switching settings.

After five years in early access, Satisfactory will finally launch into 1.0 later this year in c/gaming@kbin.social

EXCITED. Even Update 3 was completely fun and enjoyable to play. I've been putting off playing again because there were so many breaking changes in the later updates.

IPv4 address rentals to mint millions of dollars for AWS in c/tech@kbin.social

I'm for it if it actually increases adoption. IPv6 has its flaws but it's better than layers and layers of IPv4 NAT.

Honestly, as long as they attribute the text to "ChatGPT" or similar, that'd be fine with me. I may or may not read it, but at least be transparent. And at least please deal with the repercussions of firing your staff for the hype.

I just liked the vibe and name of Kbin. It reminded me of Kerbin, the home planet in Kerbal Space Program.

I later learned it might be the Polish word for magazine. The "subreddits" here are called magazines, but it could also mean like gun magazine. The latter of which I don't really care for (especially as a US user), but in the end, I don't really gaf. It's just a chill place to hang out.
