A few years ago I’d have jokes about data ports being the same fitting as power sockets, but USB-C has ruined that

It’s a very American style thing. UK English media don’t do this, and it always feels strange when I see it in US media

I think OP was asking how do they interact with their desktop environment to get the eSIM information to the modem

An eSIM is a code number that is used to identify a phone account, and replaces a SIM card. On my phone I installed an eSIM by scanning a QR code. OP wants to know what’s the equivalent in a Linux distro, if there is one. It’s a good question, but I don’t know the answer myself

But this is literally how supermarkets provided cheaper prices than the local shops we all used to have. Customers swallow the external costs of last-mile transportation by driving to the business’s warehouse. They swallow the costs of service staff by serving themselves. You’re just describing their whole business model which, let’s not forget, we as a nation gleefully latched onto when it became available, forcing local grocers to close.

If you read the paper, they’re building on existing work that shows night-time light affects the metabolism

Thanks!

Thank you - that’s a really useful answer. I’ll check them out

Thank you - I’ll have a look at that

Now imagine that, but onions

At this stage it’s a trope that people imitate, perhaps without really thinking about it. Originally it was almost certainly an ironic joke about the value of the medals, playing on the old-fashioned bite tests that would be used for for items of dubious worth

“can be” is doing some heavy lifting here. I confidently predict the amount actually recycled is a fraction of one percent

It would make a lot more sense if humans could just lay some sort of egg sac which we could keep in the garage for 9 months until it hatches. I honestly don’t know why biologists and geneticists haven’t dealt with this by now

Loads of people - probably most people - didn’t have Sky. When did shoveling cash at Murdoch become some sort of minimum entry level for society? Not having a TV would be vaguely interesting, but not having Sky means nothing

Garfield without Garfield was a brilliant idea. This is not only derivative, but also just not very entertaining

If you ask, some places can do early check-in. You might have to pay for it, because it disrupts their routine

Thanks. I’ve never blocked anyone, so it won’t be that. Could be the other thing

It’s not just Sync, I find. I’ve had this issue with other Lemmy apps yoo

I’ve just tested this and it didn’t work. I think this issue, of posts saying there is 1 comment when there are none, is some sort of Lemmy-wide issue. It drives me crazy, as it’s impossible to know whether posts have a comment or not without looking at each individually.

I wonder if my colleagues have picked up on the fact that when I start an email “Dear-” rather than “Hi-”, it means I’m annoyed with them
