What am I missing that’s mildly infuriating? If it’s because it’s shown backwards it would make sense to show the mounting hardware & location if the front side looks the same as the back.

I actually just finished it, wish there were more episodes. There was a lot more humor than I was expecting which really helped to offset the depressing aspects. Yeah, I really can’t imagine the government supporting the show aside from it portraying the US as an absolutely dominating force.

From a casting angle I think it’s kinda funny Jarhead had a Sarsgaard and Generation Kill had a Skarsgård. I also kept thinking the Rolling Stone writer (Lee Tergesen) looked like a relative of John Michael Higgins.

Thanks for the reminder to watch that series. I liked The Wire and We Own This City by David Simon so I’m assuming it is a more thoughtful show than the title and imagery suggests.

Maybe if the US Army had cooperated it wouldn’t have been so terrible! At least it provides a chance to see Phil Hartman.

And rarely you get to see gems like this from the movie Sgt. Bilko (1996):

Personally I would definitely focus on figuring out the underlying motivation for the OS hopping, but just in the interest of maybe saving some time having to re-setup everything you might consider:

• I’ve never used Windows 11 so it might have even more insidious tendencies than in the past, but generally the rule-of-thumb for multi-booting has always been to install Windows first. Other operating systems tend to be more considerate about not stepping on other installs they find and their boot loaders more flexible.
• If the budget allows you could also just use a different physical disk for each OS and either disable one in the BIOS or manually disconnect one to choose which OS to boot into.
• Maybe just running a virtual machine or live-boot would satisfy the FOMO aspect?
• Making a snapshot image of your configured install to restore from would also speed up the process of toggling between environments.

Just throwing out ideas, best of luck to you :)

I won’t even pretend to have any insights what might be causing the psychological compulsion to constantly abandon and reacquire operating systems - but just from a technical perspective, do you need to completely reinstall the OS instead of just maintaining a multi-boot setup?

Thanks for the summary image and link to a new channel to check out! I love that the video just immediately jumped into topic without any fluff or calls to action at all. Likely going to try my luck with a Granitestone griddle to replace an ancient one with some gouges around the edges that’s probably giving me hyper-cancer.

the only way to download it is with a premium subscription

This doesn’t help you on a mobile device, but in case others weren’t aware of its existence, there’s a great open source tool for downloading from many/most websites: yt-dlp

Someone else asked if this was a real thing (I also had my doubts) so I did some quick searching – as far as I can tell this is legit. I also found a macro photography site that has a bunch of adorable pictures.

Breaking windows isn’t beneficial because it keeps the glass manufacturers and installers busy. Rules and purpose descriptions are decided on or dictated to be used to shape the culture of a given community; if we want to just have any-old-content-at-all there would be no reason to have categories like “Movies” and “Pictures” and we could just post and link anything everywhere. Since Ask Lemmy states its purpose is “A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions” I propose a more appropriate version of your question would be more like:

“Why don’t companies prioritize tools that increase the efficiency of their workers?”
or
“Why are companies complacent about correcting workplace impediments?”
etc.

Those questions could encompass many industries and can describe digital and physical tools. A pointed “Why doesn’t x software work like y” is closer to seeking support than crowdsourcing opinions.

Do you suspect there’s a larger reason than they just haven’t built in that functionality and don’t consider it a priority? What kind of answers are you expecting to get from this community? What reasons have the companies that lacked this feature given you when you asked about it?

I’ll pay for the whole seat BUT ONLY NEED THE EDGE!

Surely you’ve seen the movie Airplane!

Thanks for clarifying! Hope the upgrade goes smoothly :)

We wanted to announce that we will be attempting to upgrade Lemmy.World to version 0.19.3 on Saturday.

I don’t regularly deal with converting between timezones but I’m unable to figure out whether this upgrade is happening on Saturday or Sunday. My calendar shows March 3rd as being Sunday.

Nutritional information on cereals is often misleading because its based on unrealistic serving sizes

This is only tangentially relevant, but I am baffled at how this is allowed:
