In all the examples listed in the response, the inviter must explicitly be the owner of the house:

Although that just leaves us with the question about who is considered the owner. I’m a renter, so would that be me, or my landlord?

Fun fact: In German, this boils down to which translation of “owner” is used. I’m the “Besitzer” of my apartment (I possess it), but not the “Eigentümer” (I cannot sell it).

Deleting accounts doesn’t mean the company deletes your data. Even under GDPR (Everyone else is completely SOL here, I believe), they can keep if it is required for their business, unless you explicitly demand a full deletion.

I have it running on a Pi 5 (although a Pi 4 is more then enough), with a 15€ USB ZigBee antenna from AliExpress (to connect IKEA devices).

The best thing about it is that it seamlessly integrates all devices with each other, so you can use cheap ZigBee buttons to control your Philipps Hue lightbulbs, for example.

Of you press up/down right after left/right the window will be a quarter of the screen instead of half.

On Windows 11, you can also just drag towards the top, and it’ll give you different snapping options.

Yeah, I hate it when people don’t use the simple shortcut Win+Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L to open LinkedIn!

I’ve noticed Chinese people doing this often. I assume that it’s to do with Chinese keyboard layouts.

I still cannot use special characters in filenames, 40 years of Windows OSes in.

That’s a good thing IMO. The benefits of using special characters in this specific case are slim, but the repercussions for every single programming language that ever touches file or folder names (i.e. basically all of them) are pretty big.

Like seriously, I’d wager that entire companies might crawl to a stop because Bernice in accounting put a “/” into some important excel file name.

This site not only shows you historical data on steam, but on 3rd party sites and other launchers as well (fully configurable). And it’ll send you a mail is any game in your wait list meets any of the criteria you set (e.g. under $10, lowest historical price, etc.)

Forums: great store of knowledge and friendly, helpful people. If you ask a question in discord, nobody will ever see the answer again.

The search functions in forums are notoriously terrible though (although someone will inevitably ask you to try using it), so finding anything useful relies on “outside” search engines.

And the linear thread format has been terrible since it was invented (which is probably why discord uses it). You basically need to ignore half the posts to follow the one interesting side line that might end up with a solution.

And here I thought chains were only used for cricket and train tracks.

Lemmy itself doesn’t support user tags, but some of the clients like voyager, do.

What the heck is that map projection? It’s like Mercator on steroids.

In Germany, people are very concerned about Zugluft, i.e. draft from opening multiple windows.

Cookie Auto Delete (and similar extensions) doesn’t really help of you enable FF’s built-in Total Cookie Protection (which you should).

Oo-la-pa-loo

I would assume that they have more than six briefs in total.

I think the easiest way to get started is StreetComplete: https://streetcomplete.app/

It will show you places in your vicinity where information is missing, like opening hours of shops, or the existence of ramps at stairs, and you can provide them in a really simple interface. You can filter out questions you don’t like to answer as well.

I want an animated show of the Stormlight Archives. Something in the style of the Netflix Castlevania series or similar. I don’t think a live action show could do it justice without an insane budget.

The trick with nicknames is using them in alphabetical order.

You can prefix the coordinates with the name of the current nearest star or center of galaxy.

Universal coordinates are fairly useless anyway, given how everything moves around in space.
