don't forget the statewide ban on pornographic material. granted it was mostly as anti-lgbt hate speech, but it banned like all sorts of shit including pornhub and it's subcompanies, several textbooks, etc

Why are earbuds so dang loud on PC? (lemmy.world)
 

On the past 2 PCs I had, if I used earbuds I had to turn the volume down to 20% at the LOUDEST. Often times I had to go to 10% or lower to not utterly blow my eardrums out. Yet when I use regular headphones, 40% is an okay volume. I don't know if that's a problem specifically for Realtek audio drivers or the earbuds themselves. Is there a way to change this so I can have earbuds be quiter at louder volumes?

What made everyone move to Bluesky or Threads instead of Mastodon? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

for me, it was discoverability. Like, several guides said "use tags" but 4 out of 5 people DON"T. And more often than not, when you do search the tags, you see several posts that aren't what you wanted at all. Or worse, the tag you search doesn't have any posts newer than several months to a year. Basically it relied on an honor system where few people had honor.

Is ice cream becoming too soft? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I have this problem every so often. If your freezer is anything like mine, you just keep grabbing ice cream during, or even right after, a defrost cycle. That, or there's something wrong with the defrost cycle itself. Best check your meters and gauges

so... yes and no? yesn't?

is there oil?

YSK rice commonly contains arsenic, but most of it can be removed by boiling in water (4:1 ratio) for 5 minutes, and discarding that water before starting the regular cook cycle. in c/[email protected]

is that why that one british lady Uncle Roger was roasting drained her rice?

In your opinion, what characterizes a good CEO of a medium-sized company? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (4 children)

look up a guy named Dan Price. Dude saw his Ice Cream company failing and chose to slash his pay exponentially to offer living wages and benefits to everyone else, and business fucking boomed for it. There are literal chapters in economics textbooks about what he did.

Anyone else get random cancellation emails from onlyfans? (lemmy.world)
 

Now, I never created an onlyfans account, but today I got two emails from them: one asking to confirm an email account, and one confirming its cancellation. Was that a hack going around or just bad luck on my end? I already changed passwords and everything, just wondering if anyone else had a problem like this.

I want to donate old work shirts, but I don't want people to be mistaken for employees there. How do I remove the logos? (lemmy.world)
 

I have a lot of tshirts from companies I used to work for, but I don't wear them anymore. I was going to give them away, but I'm worried random people wearing work uniforms might cause problems down the line. Some are construction companies, which I'm not too worried about, but the retail shirts are my concern. Is there a way to remove the text on them so they're just regular solid colored shirts? I want to say the logos are screenprinted but I don't think they were, and I can't remember the name of any other printing processes that aren't just stitching them in.

Tips on making your data less sellable? (lemmy.world)
 

A charity I'm volunteering for and a contractor I know insist I have a facebook account for contact reasons. Naturally I bought a separate device to use for that, but I was wondering if there were ways to make my data undesirable to potential buyers. So far I got the obvious tiennamen square posting and that gay putin pic, but I was wondering what else I could do

Why are 90% of the images WebP format? (lemmy.world)
 

is it a formatting step that an image goes through when uploaded? I'm tired of converting image after image back into jpg, so if there's like a step I can take to avoid it being a webp, it would help to know

Of all the sketchy eCommerse sites (Wish, Aliexpress, Temu), which is the "safest?" (lemmy.world)
 

I always hear stories about the dangers of buying from WIsh.com, Aliexpress, and recently Temu. I've jokingly called them "buyer beware" sites even. Yet people still use them, and there's just as many positive results as negative. But I've also heard about unexplained card charges, data hacks, pyramid-scheme-like behavior, etc. So which of those sites, or other similar sites, is the "safest" if I DID wanna shop there?
