Maybe that’s an E, but the rest isn’t text, it’s sheet music. It’s a shame it’s cropped because, although I’ve seen a bunch of example of illuminated texts, I’ve not often seen such embellishments on sheet music.

A bee headbutting you is not necessarily an agressive act, could be just investigatory on the part of the bee. I’ve walked into the heart of a flowering shrub covered in hungry bees, during which they either ignored me or headbutted me. As long as “defending the hive” isn’t part of the bee interaction, they are usually very chill but remain very curious. I’m still careful when the headbutts happen because accidents happen and a confused bee tangled in hair may still sting. But I have also gently untangled a bee or two without anyone getting hurt.
Even when defending the hive, bees seem to prefer as little direct agression as possible. I’ve stepped into a clearing and suddenly found myself way too close to a wild bee hive and got stung exactly once by a bee that got tangled in my hair as I fled the approaching swarm.
I’ve also gotten a solitary wasp tangled in my hair, near no hive or any flowers, and gotten stung 3 times on one knuckle as thanks for setting them free. The bees have taught me to treat them with compassion and respect. The wasps have taught me to react with murder and extreme violence before they are even aware of me.
Both are pollinators though. So despite the animosity, I don’t go out of my way to wage war against wasps the way I do mosquitoes.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•When someone replies "that's not dull" to a post in Dullsters/Dull Men's Club, are they complimenting you or gatekeeping?
4·17 days agoThey’re admitting how dull they are.
The issue isn’t about what it can and can’t do, it’s that it is CONSTANTLY attempting to step in and “fix” my spreadsheet in bizarrely inane ways. Why won’t it give me the “shut up and stay the fuck out of my way” option? There is no option to remove or silence copilot. That damn thing follows my cursor like a ring wraith after Frodo. It has already fucked up more than one of my spreadsheets without asking or being asked. If I hadn’t been paying attention, I might not have caught the absolutely bat shit insane edits it was making to simple and correct functions I’d already entered. No, copilot you don’t know what I’m doing. Clippy was less intrusive.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What should I use to replace my phone in my car?
3·24 days agoTasker can still automate almost all of this for you.
I setup some tasker automations so that I can leave my phone entirely in my pocket. When my phone connects to my car Bluetooth it: turns up media volume, sets the phone to “do not disturb”, opens and starts playing the last music player I was using (podcast, Spotify, Plexamp, or your media player of choice. Notably mine never switches to things that play video by default), initiates lockdown on my phone in case of fascists, etc. If I want to navigate somewhere or choose something different to listen to, that is something I start before I start the car. I get all my navigation cues via voice guidance, but the quality of that guidance can suffer from vagueness in general and confusion specifically in the midst of construction. I used to have it automatically read text messages aloud, but between reaction emojis, photos, gifs, and links that became super annoying. You can also setup an auto-reply to incoming texts that just say, “I’m driving and I’ll get back to you later.” That turned out to be annoying to, so I just silence them all. When my phone disconnects from my car Bluetooth, tasker sets everything back to the way it was before with the exception of lockdown mode.
Using voice commands kind of requires relaxing your privacy requirements, so I left those options out of this discussion.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Your next glasses should have a very thin frame so that people don't need to wonder if you're filming
2·24 days agoDon’t worry. Time is a flat circle. What is old, is new again. Smart glasses will get smaller and more discreet packages and the kids will forget the original chunky look that meant “potential invasion of privacy”. I like what I like and I’m content to remain true to that until the merry-go-round of fashion comes back around again. Sometimes I may hop on a new trend and take the ride a bit, but it’s always my choice. Nostalgia is often used as a derogatory term by trendy/edgy people to feel superior about picking some style that is new to them. That fashion is almost always someone else’s “nostalgia”. Fashion is all just picking and choosing which spot on the nostalgia merry-go-round feels right for us in this moment.
He’s blinding it by putting a bag over its head, but the bag is strangely not illustrated. Ostriches calm significantly once they can’t see. The meme of an ostrich sticking their head in the sand has some basis in reality, especially considering they love building their nests in sandy areas.
I think the guy in the front is pantomiming putting a bag over its head, but the bag itself is missing from the illustration.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If shoelaces always come untied and headphone wires always get tangled, why don't they make shoelaces out of headphone wires and headphone wires out of shoelaces?
4·1 month agoIt’s never to late to relearn a suboptimal skill you thought you knew. I believe I found this site several decades after being taught the standard shoe lace knot and a child. That one ALWAYS needed a second knot to keep my laces tied. Now I tie either the two loop knot “bunny ears” or Ian’s Secure Shoelace knot. Both are balanced so the knots always stays tied and both can be pulled apart and undone with a simple tug at both free ends of the shoelace. Haven’t tied my laces the way my parents taught me ever since.
I did that, but on the ride to school.

Traditional Art@lemmy.world•'Mung and the Beast of Mung' by by Sidney Sime. 1905.English

FTFY: I have pan in both my legs.
Odd design choice. My oven turns the light on when the door is opened (in addition to a manual option). Maybe somebody “repaired” your oven at some point and replaced the door switch for the light with the wrong type? I had to be aware of this when I replaced a similar switch connected to a relay that turned a light on in a closet when you opened the door. I don’t remember the specific jargon at the moment, but it boiled down to whether or not the switch was open or closed by the action of depressing the switch. I think the language might have been something like normally open or normally closed.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which computer-related belief do you hold without any foundation?
4·1 month agoIn order to keep printers working properly they require regular blood sacrifices, tears are also acceptable. Most printers get these by accident as people clear paper jams, refill ink or toner cartridges, etc. Some printers clearly behave and perform better long term than others. More complexity (colors, 2 sided printing, large format, etc.) usually correlates to a larger thirst for blood/stress/anxiety. Remember Colin Robinson, the psychic vampire from “What We Do in the Shadows”? I’m pretty sure his spirit animal would be a color inkjet printer/scanner combo from late 90’s.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Gig work is just turning the poor class into servants. And adding further debt to other poors trying to use these services.

Not OP, but I have similar feelings and they have nothing to do with the client or plugins. If I can’t easily and securely share my Jellyfin with the Internet beyond my LAN without resorting to a VPN, then Jellyfish is not going to come close to replacing Plex. Sharing my library securely with tech illiterate family and any browser I have access to, without modification, was the one and only reason I moved away from XBMC/Kodi and installed Plex in the first place. Jellyfin is fine inside my LAN and for my personal use, totally fails at hosting.
