Not sure what you mean by, what was I doing.

But I recorded the show as a test because I was thinking man there seems to be a lot of commercials. I checked the time before I started the show. Then I watched the show and fast forwarded through the commercials. Then I checked the time after the show.

That's how I figured out how out the length of the actual show. They played a little bit of show then a block of commercials.

Cable tv

And I’m sorry I just disagree. A few ads is one thing. Basically half the show is just stupid. I won’t watch that many commercials. I’ll record the show

I agree with a lot of what you said. It’s why I buy my disks. Can’t be deleted.

I am going to disagree with one item. You say you don’t have a tv. The screen you use to display the image is effectively a tv. So in essence you still have one. You just don’t have cable tv or an aerial antenna. You even use the streaming services from time to time.

But otherwise yeah I definitely understand where you are coming from.

But he’s rich so he must know what he’s doing.

Ads weren't bad when it was like a minute with of commercials. Now it can be 7 minutes at a time. The worst was when I was watching Star Trek Voyager, a one hour show was actually 27 minutes of ads. Not a joke. 27 minutes of ads and 33 minutes of show. That was what broke me. I now record everything and watch it later and fast forward through the commercials.

Do you watch any streaming services or do you mean zero tv, no shows, nothing?

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I bought a tivo have had a couple through the years. They (spectrum and the tv station) can't control what I fast forward through.

I record everything I watch. Record now and watch later. Then I fast forward through the commercials. If something seems interesting I'll go back and actually watch it.

Idiot deserves at least that much

I have to assume there was some sarcasm in there that I’m missing.

I literally don't know if you made this up or if it's actually from a book.

Either way... Well done

Could be a grift or a graft depending on your viewpoint.

 
 

For example, I have the app of Pandora playing music and Pandora is displayed on the watch. It shows what song is playing and who’s singing. I lower my wrist to continue doing the work I’m doing. Sometime in the next 15 minutes 20 minutes I’ll bring my wrist back up to look at the wash to see who is singing the current song And it has gone back to the time

I did not have this problem before I updated the watch last night. It would stay on Pandora or whatever screen I set the watch to.

I don’t mind the watch going to sleep to save battery power that’s fine. But when I bring my wrist up to look at my watch, it should still be at the display that is that I set.

How do I adjust this? How do I get it to stay on for example Pandora or Apple Music or whatever I want the screen to be at? Again to clarify, I’m not saying to keep it from going to sleep. I just want it when I bring my wrist up where the screen lights up. It is on the display that I have set it to.

 

Did it twice now. It sucks. Just my opinion. Most times I couldn’t even figure out where to go.

 

My mom would not be able to wear a hat during the summer obviously heat would stay in and she would get too hot. She needs a wig, but that wig should, for lack of a better phrase, breathe.

So it doesn’t hold the heat in near the scalp.

Is there a wig that is like that? Or do all wigs effectively hold heat to the scalp?

Edit: I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. That's on me. I meant will a wig be more warm then normal hair?

I think this would do it

https://github.com/the-allanc/minty-color-titles

It says to put it into the .config/gtk-3.0 folder

But I can’t find a .config folder. I found an /etc/gtk-3.0 folder.

Would that directory work?

Is there a better way to change the title bar color?

 

company?

I mean how did it work?

I have two internal hard drives in my pc, one has windows 11 and one is for extra storage.

I hooked up an external USB drive to install Linux onto. During the install it says

Device for boot loader installation

And then it gives me a number of options

/dev/nvme0n1 (this I think is what my windows 10 is at)

/dev/nvme0n1p1

/dev/nvme0n1p3

/dev/nvme0n1p4

/dev/sda ATA WDC WD10EZEX-00W (1.0 TB) Ii think this is the other internal drive

/dev/sda2

/dev/sdb WD easystore 2647 (1.0 TB)

/dev/sdb1

I think the easystore is my external drive. The problem is they are both 1T in size and both western digital.

How do I know which is which?

Just above where it says "device for boot loader installation" it shows

If I try to click on /dev/sdb I can't click on install now.

On the basis that I should be trying to install in /dev/sdb what am I doing wrong to actually start the install process?

Yeah I'm new to Linux. I need help to do it right and not nuke my windows install

 

I know, I can create a live CD of Linux, I know I also can create a bootable Linux installation on a jump drive. I’m curious is can I actually do a full install of mint Linux on an external drive and actually run it that way. When I say run it I mean actually add packages remove packages, etc. i’m asking because I have a currently working Windows 10 computer. And until I really understand Linux especially how to properly install it. I prefer not to screw something up on a working system. I figured install it to an external Drive and then just tell the bios, don’t boot the windows drive just boot into the external Drive.

Would this actually work?
