I have a habit of using a flashlight to go to the toilet in hotels or unfamiliar places, so I don't stub my toe or other stupid stuff when doing the nightly toilet sleep walk.

So I grab the flashlight, point it around and notice a glint from the ceiling fan. The ceiling fan didn't have an IR remote so it didn't make sense and yup, sure enough it was a little lens that conveniently pointed towards the bed.

Fun thing: We actually signed a waiver that the house uses cameras, since there were a view regular ones on the perimeter for security, which seemed logical. That asshole really tried to play the "but you signed that you're okay with being filmed" card.

Stopped using them once my girlfriend and I found a hidden camera.

Sueing was much more stressful than just getting a regular hotel. Never again.

Could someone explain what I'm missing here? Seeing this for the first time and it just seems like random words.

We definitely need Blender in the mix as well!

Also Signal, Bitwarden and Firefox.

Coldest was probably -20 °C, hottest around 40 °C.

My comfort temperature is right around 15 °C. Anything higher than 20 °C and I start sweating.

My girlfriend wants to go to Egypt for vacation this year. That's going to be fun...

Most papers will be in PDF format and may contain colors as well. E-Ink is slowly getting there, especially with the rise of digital comics, but for the time being I wouldn't trade my iPad and Pencil combo.

It is literally free. Just download and find out if you like it.

Personally, I would recommend it!

I see what you mean, but there's also a large number of lurkers, who will only vote but never comment.

I don't think it's unfeasible to have a small number of comments on a highly upvoted post.

Honestly, this brigading for FOSS on Lemmy is a bit annoying. Suppose the dev decides to charge a one-time fee once the app is mostly stable and done. FOSS wouldn't be a good option for that.

Personally, with the amount of effort Kuro is putting in, I hope he has a solid monetization plan in the works, because this app could become one of the more popular ones for Lemmy and they more than deserve earning money for their hard work, that is not relying on donations.

Interestingly enough, I am missing a few subs on lemmy.world instead.
