Not sure about every feature, but the features I use still worked as of a couple hours ago. Should I be worried that it will break soon?

threelonmusketeers,

Enhancer for YouTube. Video quality auto-select, fined-grained speed control, volume boost, shorts redirect, and a bunch of other features.

threelonmusketeers,

If no one else has experienced the problem, you might want to consider providing your OS and app version to help the developer pinpoint the problem, if one exists.

What phone do you sugest for your grandparents?

I got a task to buy a smart phone for my grandparents, they are not techsavy but they know how to use basic functions. Iam looking for an andoid because it has language pack i need. I dont need it to have lots of functions, onley a good camera and a big screen. Bonus points if it can be flashed with some kind of simplefied...

The “S0S” makes me more uncomfortable than it should…

Edit: My discomfort does not stem from the mere concept of an SOS button; It’s more subtle than that. If “SOS” stands for “save our souls”, does “S0S” stand for “save zero souls”?

threelonmusketeers,

SOS doesn’t stand for anything. People made it up later.

Ah, so is it a backronym, then? Neat, I didn’t know that.

The original distress signal was CQD, which stood for “seeking you, distress”

How did they decide on those letters? Is it relevant that “CQ” sounds a bit like “seek you”?

threelonmusketeers,

If they go in the tube

Aren’t they attracted to carbon dioxide? They would go in the tube.

threelonmusketeers,

What in the wide world of fuck is the Lemmy Tagginator, and more importantly, why?

is this something we need here?

From what I understand, the bot serves no immediate purpose or function for Lemmy users, but it helps strengthen ties to other parts of the fediverse (like Mastodon).

I’m personally indifferent to the bot.

I can only assume it will be the same with space explorations (once we’ll get there).

en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_spaceflight-related_ac…

Orbital fatalities so far are just Soyuz 1, Soyuz 11, STS-51-L, and STS-107. We are still a bit early, but Space exploration has been surprisingly safe so far.

en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_fatalities_from_aviati…

There were many more fatalities in the early days of aircraft, though airplanes proliferated more quickly than spacecraft have.

threelonmusketeers,

It’s been gradually ramping up with things like the Inspiration4 and Axiom missions, but still relatively slow. Yuri Gagarin’s historic flight is further from today than the Wright Brothers’ flight is from Yuri Gagarin’s flight.

Is this not a screenshot?

Edit: Maybe not, there are some strange moiré-like patterns surrounding the text…

threelonmusketeers,

In this case, endangered species must be secured, contained, and protected against humans, rather than the other way around.

threelonmusketeers,

Yeah, I’ll probably uninstall it eventually. I’m keeping it around for a couple of months in case I need it, but haven’t gone back to it so far.

threelonmusketeers,

Yep, I’ve replaced the YouTube app with a shortcut to YouTube on Firefox mobile, and I’ve relegated the official YouTube app to the “app hell” folder.

threelonmusketeers,

Just wait until those same weird hairless apes with back issues learn how how to harness a particular mixture of charcoal, brimstone, and poop crystals.

threelonmusketeers,

Not quite. Guano was historically a source of saltpetre…

threelonmusketeers,

For real?!

Yup: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guano

Though its main use was as fertilizer, Guano was also sought for the production of gunpowder.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_nitrate#From_cave…

Major natural sources of potassium nitrate were the deposits crystallizing from cave walls and the accumulations of bat guano in caves. Extraction is accomplished by immersing the guano in water for a day, filtering, and harvesting the crystals in the filtered water.

threelonmusketeers,

Did you intend to reply to Track_Shovel’s comment?

threelonmusketeers,

Only 13 cases were reported globally in 2022. The world is so close to the goal and with dedicated effort, we may soon achieve it. After thousands of years, the entire world may soon be free of this debilitating disease.

Nice, we’re getting close. This would be the third disease eliminated, second human disease eliminated, correct?

(Smallpox and Rinderpest being the previous two)

threelonmusketeers,

The double helix depicted in the comic twists the wrong way (inverted chirality).

Randall, I’m disappointed in you :)

threelonmusketeers,

No, that’s ‘Palpatine’. You’re thinking of fast or irregular beatings of the heart.
