Its literally the opposite. 5’9" is how I would express height in imperial, for example. Also, there may be some outliers, but monitors are measured in inches globally.

Sources believe Ayyad has fled Lebanon and it is unlikely Iran will hand him overEnglish51·19 days agoSarcastically saying “Imagine X” only works if it’s not actually difficult to imagine.
jonathan@piefed.socialto World News@lemmy.world•Hezbollah man who killed Irish peacekeeper Seán Rooney believed to be in Iran. Sources believe Ayyad has fled Lebanon and it is unlikely Iran will hand him overEnglish91·19 days agoThey put forward legislation to ban trade with the occupied territories. In response, they got threatened with crippling economic action by their largest trading partner, the United States. A smear campaign in the US is also ongoing. In spite of that, the legislation is still moving forwards.

jonathan@piefed.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•Office workers - Has anyone here convinced their boss to let them install a Linux distro on their work desktop?English16·20 days agoAs an engineer, yes. I managed to get a pilot program off the ground at my last company. As a recently public company with a lot of IT debt, the biggest challenge was around making those devices compliant with security and IT processes, and easy for IT to provision and monitor.
It helped that I made an effort to build good connections into IT and IT leadership. The clincher was a clear proposed timeline, a commitment that it would not require any additional workload from IT, and that we wouldn’t expand it without their sign off.
Unfortunately, layoffs meant I couldn’t roll it out beyond the initial group, and when a second round of layoffs came around I took the opportunity to leave. I haven’t been looking much yet, but “allows Linux” is one of the criteria I’m measuring companies against.
jonathan@piefed.socialto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Ah yes, TailOS, my favourite distroEnglish4·25 days agoThe TailsOS typo is a weird one to fixate on when TempleOS isn’t Linux at all.
jonathan@piefed.socialto Games@lemmy.world•Xbox Series X and S: Microsoft Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 30 Million Consoles This GenerationEnglish9·29 days agoWith the “everything is an Xbox” mantra, there’s no reason to have a capable PC and an Xbox anymore. I don’t mind waiting for PS games on my PC either, leaving only Nintendo still having some appeal.
jonathan@piefed.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Why don't smart watches use USB-C to recharge?English5·1 month agoThey can be waterproof but are also non functional until the water is fully cleared from the port.
Fuck off with the AI slop mascot.
Paul Biggar is a real one, one of the rare successful startup founders who is pushing back on the VC ecosystem as a dissenting voice against the genocide in Gaza.
jonathan@piefed.socialto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Convinced my organisation to use Mastodon and Bsky. Any userfull tools to automate crossposting?English0·1 month agoHashtags used to be placed inline due to character limits. That’s much less of an issue now, and many people place useful tags below their post to make their content easier to read while also remaining more discoverable.

For example, an EU resident (citizen is the wrong group) purchasing in the US is not covered by EU law.

jonathan@piefed.socialto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Does it want to tell me something? I had to do a cognition test btwEnglish6·2 months agoI’m not sure you understand how IQ tests work. By their nature they need to have questions of varying difficulty so you can capture a broad spectrum of intelligence.
jonathan@piefed.socialto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Does it want to tell me something? I had to do a cognition test btwEnglish10·2 months agoThat would be my guess too, it’s rotating and changing size in a linear sequence.
jonathan@piefed.socialto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Pi-hole client filtering without DHCP?English5·2 months agoThey rotate them across different SSIDs to make it harder to track you. in a residential setup they should basically never rotate.
jonathan@piefed.socialto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Tailscale addressing concerns over potential enshittification of the platformEnglish22·2 months agoI think all they can really say is it’s not on the near horizon, but every public company will enshittify at some point. I can’t see a future where the investors will be OK for anything but going public or an acquisition by a public company. It’s just a question of when, and when they start to turn the screw.
That’s where case-insensitive tab complete comes in. You can still tab through downloads and Downloads, and it doesn’t impact anything else.
