There are still people who do not yet use SimpleX chat. It really is time to install SimpleX.chat

You only made me not want to install it.

Bigfive Personality Test in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[–] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I thought that these personality tests had been debunked?

We had the myers briggs test back in the day, and I've heard on couple podcasts that these tests (including MB) are highly questionable.

As it happens, the latest maintenance phase podacst is about the MB test:

Not listened yet, but will.

Lancashire mum fined £240 defends term-time holiday (www.bbc.co.uk)
 

Thoughts?

Asides from what was mentioned in the article, I think the current rules are unforgiving of children who have family abroad whose school holidays don't align.

I dont like gravel (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

I don't like gravel. That's it.

  • noisy
  • scatters all over the neighborhood.
  • hard to walk on
  • dogs and cats crap in it
  • kids chuck it around and put it in their mouth.
  • doesn't even look good.
  • difficult and heavy to remove once you have come to terms will all of the above.

Gravel advocates... explain your case for gravelling your garden/drive.

Gravel sceptics, feel free to share your distaste.

Unable to login (lemmy.sdf.org)
 

Hi,

I've been using Jerboa for some time, but one day it started saying "unable to verify JWT token" and I appeared to be not logged in any more.

So I removed the account and tried to re-add it. It crashes every time after entering my password.

Tried clearing the cache. No good.

Any ideas?

You've seen a Schiit stack. Well here's a Sabaj stack.

The headphone amp is cheap and good. Completely black background and three gain levels.

The dac unit has a ton of inputs including coax, optical and Bluetooth. Sadly Bluetooth mode induces RF interference, but I rarely use it, so meh.

The dac unit is now discontinued.

Anyone fancy a moan about the Dartford crossing?

Woke up this morning to a £35 penalty for forgetting to pay the toll charge.

I swear they make it as easy as possible to forget...

I almost preferred when you had to toss coins into a hopper...

End whinging.
