If you (or any passerby) happens to like German hip hop, I can only recommend Pöbel MC.

There’s plenty of games with low hardware requirements

I recently learned this and bought one of those sieve tongs , but because I still have a bunch of tea bags left over, I opted to just rip them open and put the tea in the tongs. Works like a treat, once you figure out how to rip them without spilling everything lol

Having more beautiful and structured URLs. I suppose for those cases it’s more of a preference, and with the tooling I use (.NET) it’s not too difficult to achieve.

I guess my gripe with your original statement was that I was thinking mostly of state like user login etc. I have to concede it’s not totally garbage for the cases you mentioned.

omg thanks for this

have multiple routes point to the same endpoint, dynamically adding the parameters serverside

I disagree. I definitely prefer REST APIs that use the file path for searches, filters, sorting. You get most if not all benefits from query parameters, and if done correctly it is just as clearly readable as query params.

As a WebDev… URL parameters are definitely not the place to keep state… Were not in the 00’s anymore. They do have legit uses, but we have JS localStorage nowadays.

Oh, nice! That’s definitely valuable info. Personally, I do think it’s too much work to implement that properly, though.

Fair enough, I haven’t given that too much thought myself until now. After playing around with Firefox’s URL cleaning, I realized there are some parameters I want to keep. So, by clean I mean removing all unnecessary parameters in the URL.

For example, https://youtu.be/jNQXAC9IVRw would become https://youtu.be/jNQXAC9IVRw, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw keeps it’s parameter, because it is necessary.

I guess replicating the logic for deciding which parameters to keep is not trivial, so the easiest solution is probably just manually pasting links into firefox, and just copying them cleanly from there. Thanks for providing some code, though!

ahh well, guess that is my !wooosh@lemmy.world moment of the day

The thing in the middle under the display? I’d assume its a scrolling wheel, kinda like on your mouse but very wide

Yup, you can just edit the amount of items you scanned. Also makes it easier to “scan” an item in bulk.

They dont check the cart weight, instead they just randomly pick out people where they go through their scanned items and check that nothing else is in the cart. I’m being checked about once every 20 times I go.

Perfection is the enemy of progress. You need to think more long-term.

Who says the government needs to remove them? There could be a grace period of a year or maybe several years, during which people already owning a gun can apply for a license and receive the necessary training. Those who don’t want to get the license can come in to prove they made the firearm unusable. Anyone else owing a gun can be made liable after that grace period. This would minimize necessary resources.

Also, a proper government should be able to focus on several things. And I do think daily school shootings is something worth focusing on.

Its not a fix, but a start in the right direction.

Sure, the shootings won’t stop the day legislation changes. But it prevents more guns from entering the US, making it more difficult to get one, even illegally.

I get that some people in the states need guns. Some communities have a real danger from bears etc. But those people can get a license to own a gun, the way it works in most countries.

Same

Thank you for doing the same :)

I’m not looking to argue either, I’m just trying to share how I see things, so this feels more like a discussion to me.

I mean yeah, I don’t think anyone can argue against the convenience of modern technology. I just think we’d be fine without smartphones.

Instead of a boom box or a radio (which weren’t really meant to be portable anyways) you could use an mp3 player, by now they’d probably have Bluetooth as well.

I know some people who carry around dedicated calculators despite having a smartphone, so I think if you need it somewhat regularly, you’d just have it with you. And if you don’t have it with you, your calculations are probably not that important and urgent, so you could do them at home if necessary.

Regarding landlines, there’s barely any situation where I feel the need to contact someone right in that moment, so a landline with a voicemail would be fine most of the time.

Long story short, all I’m trying to say is that smartphones have replaced a lot of things that were fine, not just alarm clocks, and I don’t see why they ‘deserved it the least’. I do understand that I can’t expect a shower thought to go that deep though.
