On most phones you can use this system to search for your contacts.
E.g. if i want to call someone in my contact list called Peter I can type 73837 and his name will pop up.
This starts working after two numbers.

I use the trick of disabling read checkmarks, or “online” indicators, or “typing” indicators. I’ll answer when I find the time and motivation for it. I’m to old to play mindgames

81·14 days agoSo you don’t watch TV shows and then complain that you haven’t watched any of the shows listed there?
I’m not that invested in upcoming phones, but isn’t $1999 (while still insane for a phone) a kind of normal price for a foldable?
I was surprised it doesn’t has the $500 apple-innovation tax.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I fucked up my old spare PC trying to install Linux and I'd like to freshly install a more compatible Linux for an older computer
21·1 month agoWhy?
On my desktop I use cachyOS but my laptop (2021 dell xps, I think 8th gen Intel) is running mintEdit: I’ve misread your post. I thought you said that mint was horrible on newer CPUs and was confused
100% sure because I’ve ordered the nonalcoholic Version and they apologised about a hundred times when I pointed out it was an alcoholic beer.
I drink a lot of non alcoholic beers and tried a lot of different brands, so I’m used to the way they taste. Also a lot of them have very low amounts of sugar in them (I.e. Jever fun, Fürstenberg 0%, etc).
It was Hacker-Pschorr Weißbier, so a Bavarian would say as beer as it can get
I haven’t drank in ~2.5 years and got served an alcoholic beer on accident.
Even the first sip tasted awful. Super sweet but at the same time like disinfectant.
And I used to love this brand of beer. Crazy how much of an acquired taste alcohol is.
Holy shit, leave the poor fish alone

movies@piefed.social•‘The Odyssey’ Beats ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ to Become Biggest R-Rated Movie EverEnglish
13·2 months agoIt is R rated? That’s crazy. In Germany they’re often pretty harsh with age ratings but The Odyssey is FSK12 (there are fsk0, 6, 12, 16 and 18), so you can watch it alone if you’re 12+ or with parents if you’re below 12.

Linux@lemmy.ml•I'm planning to build a Linux gaming PC. Any suggestions?
5·2 months agoI switched from win11 to cachyOS a few months ago and are never going back. For gaming it just works, my only struggle right now is some audio configuration to get a virtual amplifier for my guitar to work.
But troubleshooting on Linux is so so much better than on windows, because 99,999% there’s a solution in comparison to windows were often it’s just “well, we disabled the solution to the problem, so tough luck”.I’m running 32GB ram, rtx4080 and a 5800x on a dual monitor setup (32" 21:9 and 24" 16:9). Was basically plug and play.
When I started listening to the harry Potter audiobooks I had the first 4 on tape. They filled a small suitcase.
I got 5 and 6 on CDs, each with ~20-25 CDs.
The 7th book came on mp3 CDs. Just 3 for the whole book. It absolutely blew my mind

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•A cow is more likely to kill you than a shark
4·2 months agoSentences like “It is exploited in attempts to strangle development of atomic energy, the cleanest, safest and practically inexhaustible means to meet the worlds energy needs” or retelling of the events from his perspective or constant self citation make it a definitive opionion piece.
And I looked at random papers that cited this paper. Some are not even listed anymore and most others I randomly selected (~20) cited the paper for random facts (“release of around 70 tons of nuclear fuel”, “radioresistant microbes can tolerate a high radiation incidence”, “many of these communities have not, and will not, be repopulated due to the current radiation”) or outright contradicted the paper (“[his] assumptions [about cancer incidence] are in conflict with observations from Russia…”).
The amount of citations a paper has is absolutely useless information without context to whether the citations support/contrast or are incidental
