dumples@midwest.socialto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•top 5 unsolved problems in computer scienceEnglish3·23 days agoMy favorite way to share files is to compose an email and attach the file. I then save it as a draft and then go to another computer and open that draft and download the file. Its the best method and it has worked for at least a decade. Sometimes you have to send it to yourself but the method is perfect
I just watched this last week after not seeing it for years. Its so dumb and I love. The fact they got classic 80’s actor John Cusack to be in is amazing.

dumples@midwest.socialto Solarpunk Urbanism@slrpnk.net•HOA Reform is Necessary for our Urban FutureEnglish1·1 month agoThat makes complete sense. Not a great history continues to not a great present
dumples@midwest.socialto Solarpunk Urbanism@slrpnk.net•HOA Reform is Necessary for our Urban FutureEnglish13·1 month agoHOA are just such a strange concept because they could be such a useful force that has been corrupted into an engine of uniformity and roadblocks.
You would think a local organized organization would be quick and nimble to meet the needs of it’s small group of citizens who know each other. But they got bogged down in petty arguments and minor aesthetic changes. Local municipal governments got stuck in the same trap. Too much regulation of minor aesthetic issues.
I don’t know the solution but interesting

You can really pack them in

I’ve had some pretty good luck moving them in the spring as well. i think I’ll move my largest again this fall. There’s some that haven’t even come up I think
I have a whole other shade spot that could use some.

dumples@midwest.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computingEnglish1·2 months agoI loved my EEEPC. I used while study abroad before smartphones were common. It was great to carry on me at all times. If I needed directions or to check on a website I would sit at a café / restaurant / bar to have a coffee / wine / beer to grab the wifi. It was great and small enough that I could carry it open if needed. I loved it. I thought it was the future until the iPad took over
dumples@midwest.socialto Men's Liberation@lemmy.ca•I'm tired of the lack of intersectionality when it comes to men being hetero and queerEnglish92·2 months agoIf a guy openly talk about his love of bondage and kink and just being horny they’re either coded as on the right or a creep if they’re talking about women (being a thirsty gay guy is ok because they’re not straight) but if you’re a woman who likes women then culturally it’s fine.
While I agree there is some demonization of straight masculinity but I don’t think this is a “left” or “right” thing but part of the general sex negativity in the culture. I do think that queers and women have worked hard to retake their sexuality and I think some straight men have done it but not in the same way.
I would say that talking about bondage and kink can come off creepy if it isn’t done correctly but depends on the context. If you are looking for a good sex positive part of the internet I would recommend looking at Dan Savage Sex & Relationship Website. There you will find lots of straight men talking opening and honestly about kink and sex as well as those who are queer and women.
I think you got to be the change you want to see because the dominant cultural narrative is that there are one type of men which would be the “stereotypical masc hetero guy”. With this being the case when people (I mean “2025 descendant of Tumblr feminism” ) talk about “men” this is who they are talking about. If you are not those people they are not talking about you. Be yourself and redefine masculinity to be yourself.
Also I don’t think “the left” codes “heterosexuality as bad or conservative” but the right says that is the case without any support.
dumples@midwest.socialto Men's Liberation@lemmy.ca•I'm tired of the lack of intersectionality when it comes to men being hetero and queerEnglish1·2 months agoI agree. I do experience some most of which are being underprepared, untrained or without support for feminine coded things. (such as child rearing, grooming and cloth shopping for example in order). But not in my day to day
dumples@midwest.socialto Men's Liberation@lemmy.ca•I'm tired of the lack of intersectionality when it comes to men being hetero and queerEnglish8·2 months agoI am not very hesitant to do whatever the fuck I want because it might be unmanly.
We often talk about some positive aspects of masculinity and I think not caring what is manly might be the most positive masculine thing. This is exactly my attitude. I am a Man so everything I do is manly even if its traditionally feminine. Yeah I garden and cook but in my own masculine way since I am a man.
dumples@midwest.socialto Fediverse@lemmy.world•[PSA] If things start feeling too toxic around here, remember that the 'block' button is your friend and always there for you.English41·2 months agoI have blocked a few communities which I have really enjoyed. I think there is definitely a different but freeing experience to be in charge of curating your experience instead of algorithms doing it for you. It’s more work but the freedom is nice but making the constant choice feels hard.
