Then that's misleading to the customer. When you buy something online and have paid for it, it should be collected and delivered.

When you need to pay a tip to get the omployers/contracters of the company to do business with to do their job, there is something terribly wrong with the situation. Tips should be for complementing employers with their good/excelent serice, not to ensure they have something to eat while the company earns enough and underpays their staff.

That's how an open market should work, companies paying their straff living wages and charging what a product/service costs to be viable. When the product/service is good enough, the customers will come, when it isn't, they go out of business, freeing employers for work that is values correctly. The US market of underpaying employers and required tips from customers looks more like modern slavery/forced labour.

A warm seat, juck.

Same as washing your hands with warm water, no warm seats for me.

Because they love their colonial overlords, the UK, and the UK gave part of palestina to the jews to create Israel?

Must be something like that, or just plain longing to influence a tiny part of the world that is close to the area that has a tad of oil in the ground.

As reliable as Trump?

Come to the vi side, no straights or drags. (And just as terrible to use for every starter as emacs is ;) )

Sorry, had to have the 1st vi post. ;D

We only wash the bed linnen and then hang it out to dry (mynwife hates a dryi r, we got rid of it more them 15y ago). When making the bed, bottom and top are fitted around the matress in 1 go (I'm to lazy to lift the matress twice).

No matter if that criminal wins or not, EU needs to fend for themselves. The US is a lot more unreliable then Poetin (we know he's a bastard).

I hope you're not right, but alas, it doesn't look good for us.

This is turning into a system war, do you want dictatorship to win or democracy? (even the terrible ones from UK or US)

Alas, it won't. Budget is nothing when there is no capacity to produce.

Russia and it's allies (North Korea, Iran and China) increased weapon production capacity, EU and US haven't. However, the biggest issue will be raw materials, of which most rare metals come from... China.

What helps here is to start reading. Most of the times I wake up with a book open, as I manage distract my mind from random thoughts.

They all know exactly who they're dealing with, but some still think it won't be to bad. It's not to strange that Poland has spend most of their money on defence (2x nato guideline) and all others on the eastern border at least the guideline, while the rest is slacking... However, still no war economy, while Russia has one for over 2-3 years now.

Liftoff alternative (lemmy.world)

Ok, I admit, I've been lazy and kept using liftoff until the last moment, but that is coming soon with lemmy.world moving to 0.19.x soon.

I totally like how liftoff feels, very lifghtweigth and dark, so looking for a replacement that can manage multiple accounts, has a dark mode, runs in landscape and isn't to big. Any tips other then boost? I have boost and hate it's interface.

Ok, Evernote committed hara-kiri, so time to move on. (no way I'll pay for ransomware) Any tips for good alternatives for Linux/Android platform? My wife used Nimbus note a while back, recovered her account there, ColorNote pops up when looking for alternatives as well.

Also, my wife has about 15k of recepies in evernote, is there an option to export them all and recover them? If not, she knows the most important ones by heart and/or where she found them.

We both run Linux, but I haven't found an evernote application that is still maintained for Linux. (I have a Windows VM somewhere to battle shenanigans like this)

 

At the moment I've dusted off a guitar and a bass I bought close to 20 years ago, an Ibanez EDB300 bass guitar
Ibanez
and my FrankenFender
FrankenFender
a modified/mutilated Fender MusicMaster.

Without more experience then just messing about with a bad accoustic I thought those weren't to bright purchases, but at least I had a chance on getting to learn to play them, although I just started last month. (after fixing the FrankenFender, the added pickup is dead)

When shopping for some useful additions (tuner, neckband, stand) I however found the Fazley FMB218NT
fretless
at a very low cost, so I just added it to the basket before checking out. I think for now, buying a fretless bass when just learning to play tops it (for now), although I hope it manages to force me to concentrate more on the left hand.

I guess I'm not the only one that was a tad to enthusiastic when starting, what do you all consider as your (initially) bad decisions and how did they turn out?

Edit: Layout corrections and used my own pick for the Fazely instead of a static one from the shop (that didn't work in !liftoff@lemmy.world)

 

Hi,

Now I've automated mt lamps that can work via the socket with kaku units (old and new type mixed) and domoticz with rflink unit, I'm looking to add the light in the hall in the same, easy plug'n'play method. However, kaku only has units you have to build into the circuit instead of just place them between the E27 fitting and the lightbulb.

Is something like this bukeer unit available for Europe and would it work with domoticz and the rflink (rf433)?

 

As most of the Lemmy users are security/privacy minded, after a question about alternative voices I'm wondering. Why would you allow a virtual assistance to spy on you constantly? (Especially when you don't need to due to other limitations)

And as a side note, is there a way to kill Siri completely on IOS (not just go trough all app settings and disable siri there)? (company phone, so alas not jail broken, Android is rooted and GA has been removed, as is the Google app itself)

 

At the moment you can select which list to open, subscribed, local or all. However, when you have multiple accounts, you can't pick on which server.

I have accounts on lemmy.world, lemmy.ml and lemmy.studio configured in that order and selected subscribed as prefered community list. With lemmy.world as top instance in the list I'd expected that to be the 1st to open. However, it's subscribed@lemmy.ml that's opened at the start. I'm guessing that's due to alphabetical ordering.

I think it would be useful to be able to select the instance as well as community list. This either by selecting it or ordering the instance list (start with the top one)

As owner of koffie.nu domain (coffee.now for the non Dutch), I need to peek around here.

Currently owning a Jura D6 for my daily shots. Currently testing Picnic 'intenso dark'. It is acceptable, but a tad to strong for the long run I guess. Usually we use the Perla biological, as it tastes ok (better then filtered) and is affordable. (inflation is a tad in the way for better coffee, with the amount of pets we have)

 

I'm working on setting up my dusted-off guitar and bass and for intonation I need a better quality tuner then the Korg GT-3 I have. Which ones will help with the intonation? One that shows how much any note is off, not just the one of the open string.

 

I bought this Fender in 2003/2004 as I wanted a guitar and a colleague had one collecting dust. As it was a Fender, I paid probably to much for it (€ 400), but I could spare it.

It had a not much better future here, as I stored it and totally forgot about it. I looked a tad closer to it today and I can't place a lot of parts. It has a pickup to many for a Musicmaster, for a Duosonic the layout (and parts) is incorrect, I'm missing screws, pitchguard is off (self made?), but the body, neck and headstock look correct. (tuning nobs and posts are ibanez)

Is it worth it to restore the guitar? Would it be better to keep this FrankenFender in this state,...

I'm currently working on my Ibanez EDB400 which I bought arount the same time, setting it up with the help of Bassbuzz on youtube. (I now know why I didn't like playing it, the setup was way off... and it has a battery that was dead since '06)
