Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Going on my first super long haul flight - what can I buy to make it more comfortable?English
9·2 years agoSo, first, you can’t be much more confident than an honest mistake. I didn’t even know I was in the wrong group.
Second, they weren’t reading my phone. You turn your phone face down to scan the QR code. They literally can’t read it like that. The system tells them where you are supposed to be, including boarding group. If they’re not trying to put you where you’re supposed to be, they’re probably tired of dealing with people like you.
Lastly, people fucking up the system by cutting in line are a part of why it takes so long to board. If you want to board earlier, man up and pay for a premium ticket.

7·2 years agoRegarding your first tip, I’m not sure where you’re flying, but I fly around the US for work, and they absolutely will send you to the back of the line if you try to board in the wrong spot. Happened to me once recently by accident, got two flights and their boarding groups mixed up. They weren’t rude about it or anything, but they were not going to let me on before my group.

2·2 years agoI can’t quite get myself to subject them to the amount of sweat generated during mowing the lawn. I’ve got some cheap nasty DeWalt cans for that. No ANC, but they muffle the sound outside pretty good, and as a bonus still have Bluetooth. Lawn mowing is prime podcast time.

6·2 years agoCounterpoint, a good horseshoe neck pillow. I’ve got great, thick one made out of a real dense memory foam. Acts more like a slightly mold-able neck brace, keeps me from being that guy leaning on the passenger next to me. I’ve used it on 6+ hour flights and never had any pain or comfort issues.

Technology@lemmy.world•Ars Technica content is now available in OpenAI servicesEnglish
1·2 years agoConde Nast doesn’t have an interest in driving away their readers, and AI bullshit absolutely will drive them away. They know this. Ken Fisher is the editorial lead for AI at Conde Nast (not just Ars), and said as much in the comment section.
AI is absolutely fucking things up on a grand scale in all sorts of industries, but as of right now, Ars is relatively safe and I don’t think we need to inflate the scale of the danger.

What is this thing?@lemmy.world•This showed up on a neighbor's roof. Extra context in post.English

Technology@lemmy.world•Ars Technica content is now available in OpenAI servicesEnglish
2·2 years agoI’m not so sure Ars has a vested interest in OpenAI. I actually read through 10 pages of comments. Ken Fisher was pretty active in them, and noted several times that Ars doesn’t see any of the money from this deal.

Reddit@lemmy.world•Why are there no bots that post Reddit content on Lemmy?English
3·2 years agoIt’s literally a flag in the account settings.
That said, I think mass copying of Reddit content is the issue. Functionally, yes, Lemmy and Reddit are similar. But they do have different cultures/subcultures. Even within a given topic, when you have both a subreddit and a community, they will like and dislike slightly different things.
I think the solution would be for individual users to bring content (links, memes, etc. - not comments or entire threads) over that they found worthwhile, instead of bulk copying.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•When purchasing Music (£0.99 each) how many plays would you say made the purchase 'worth it'?English
4·2 years agoRelated, with so many free ways to listen to music, by the time I’m spending money on music I’ve already decided it’s worth it. Maybe I’ve listened to it a ton. Maybe the lyrics speak to me. Maybe it’s just a particularly well composed piece of music. Either way, I’ve made the valuation of it being worth it before I spend the money.
Not again…

If you don’t mind me asking, were kids in the mix? It’s been rough anyways, but kids are certainly making it much more so.

Sorry to necro, but have you found/made a working Imagus sieve for Lemmy? I’ve been trying without luck for months.
