Yes, I'm pretty sure everyone has a drawer like that. One thing I'm missing (unless I'm just not looking hard enough) is scissors.

It's my first time seeing comments like on your previous post on Lemmy. I share your views on skin colour/looks and I think every human being is equal. We all look different and unique and we should embrace that uniqueness.

I totally see where you're coming from and I'm wondering if there's some misunderstanding going on. You didn't even mention America in that post yet others judge you because you're "obviously an outsider". I feel like there might be two conversations going on here that don't completely align here.

I think perhaps these people are referring to the need to put people in boxes just because many minorities are suppressed and need to be heard. So basically if you're part of a minority and you are being mistreated you naturally feel more comfortable with other people in a similar situation and thus you're automatically putting yourself in that box (I don't mean voluntarily). And in order for that minority to be heard they need to stand up for that minority/group of people.

I can see why this comes across as racist and I can totally see where you're coming from (like I said, I share the same views about equality and your looks should not matter at all).

But this leaves me with the question whether these people just didn't understand where you were coming from? They are kind of turning you into the bad guy when in my eyes you definitely aren't.

True, sometimes it's really simple ones, too. And sometimes I do spell it correctly but when I reread it I start to doubt myself because the word looks weird. Even though I did spell it correctly.

That's true! I'm honestly not sure why we need to have both ei and ij. Must be difficult for people learning the language.

In Dutch we pronounce it like "way". It's much shorter than double U.

This is actually one of the things I found out after setting up a bunch of folders so I'm thinking about removing the folders altogether and stick to using labels, as others have suggested as well.

Initially it didn't make sense to me to not use folders but I didn't realise that once the emails are archived they're no longer stored in that folder anyway.

So if I understand it correctly the folders are only really useful for sorting incoming unread emails. And I indeed found myself checking every single folder for emails which was more work than if I had not used those folders in the first place.

Is Kagi down? (self.kagi)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by Panda to c/kagi@lemmy.ml
 

For the past few hours I've been getting a "cannot complete request" error when I try to perform a search through my browser's address bar. Their status website doesn't seem to work either.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Edit: I don't know what was wrong, the Kagi website itself didn't work for me either (but other websites did), but it sounds like it did work for others. About an hour after I posted this it started working again. Thanks, everyone!

I really need to archive my emails more often to prevent my inbox from becoming a cluttered mess. Do you use labels?

[–] Panda 3 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks for sharing! I like your labels! Yesterday I realised that if you archive your emails they are removed from the folders they were originally organised into, and here I was making folders for literally everything. Time to reorganise and utilise labels more. :)

I use Actual. How it works is very similar to YNAB (you budget the money you currently have) but it's open source and privacy focused. I started using it a few months ago and I really like it so far!

[–] Panda 1 points 3 weeks ago

6 hours and 23 minutes. On my phone, that is. I spent a couple of hours (probably around 4 to 5?) at my PC earlier today as well.

 

How do you use your labels, folders and filters to organise your ProtonMail inbox/archive?

I decided to get Proton Unlimited yesterday and I've been trying to organise my emails, but I feel like I have the tendency to accidentally use folders and labels for the same thing so I end up with similarly named labels and folders (oops!), so I'm curious to see how people here organise their mailbox.

I was thinking one folder per alias/account/website, but when I try to add filters I'm reaching that filter limit where I have to wait 24 hours. I tried the sieve filters but, although I'm a decent programmer, it doesn't feel super intuitive.

Oh I remember this game!!! I absolutely loved it. I played it in Dutch.

Spin Rhythm XD (self.games)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by Panda to c/games@lemmy.world
 

I vaguely remember seeing this game on Steam ages ago and thinking it looked interesting, but then forgot about it. Now, during the Steam rhythm fest, it caught my eye again and I immediately bought it. And it's so, so much fun.

So first of all, if you're into rhythm games and haven't played this, I'd highly recommend it!

My question though, is if anyone else here plays it? What are your favourite songs, or do you mostly play custom songs?

I'm currently trying to get better at playing songs in Hard difficulty but tend to accidentally mix up the beats and taps. Still trying to get used to the controls, but I love it so far!

 

In Cities: Skylines 2, how do you usually organise your districts? What makes you decide an area should be a district? Roughly how big are your districts usually?

I feel like I might be overusing the districts a bit and it's getting a bit messy.

 

So I normally download updates from the Github page and it works fine. It could be because I just woke up (heh) but I can't for the life of me figure out which version of the APK release (arm64, armeabi, universal, x86, x86_64) I should install on my Android (14) phone. I tried the universal one but it says it's not compatible with the current app I have installed on my phone when I try to update it.

Could anyone advise me on this? Thank you so much!

Just started; what to expect? (self.intermittentfasting)
 

I just started IF last week as part of my weight loss journey (I'm on a high protein diet which worked very well for me before, but haven't done IF before) and decided to try IF since I heard good things about it. I'm fasting 14 hours for 4 days a week (I also have health problems, so I'm not going for the full 7 days).

I'm going for IF from Monday night until Thursday night (so basically it ends on Friday morning). I'm on my second day since I started Thursday night. On Thursday I felt pretty good, but last night was a bit of a struggle because, despite eating enough calories (and proteins) I suddenly felt rather hungry at night even though normally I don't. Maybe it's because I can't eat that I'm suddenly hungry? You know, when you can't have something you suddenly want or need it? Haha.

What can I expect? Is there anything I should watch out for? Any tips?

 

I'm trying to print some documents in grayscale / black & white but it keeps printing my documents in colour instead, even if I select grayscale in one of the drop down menus in the settings (under Color > Color Model).

Does anyone know if there is a specific setting I need to change for it to print in grayscale correctly? If it helps, I have a Canon MX420 printer.

Thanks so much for your help!
