Rentlar,

think: “no joke”, “s’truth”, “for real”, “no lie”

Rentlar,

the hardcorest users use https://lynx.browser.org/

Rentlar,

Hey, maaaaaybe you wanted to search how to do that in Bing!

-Windows

Rentlar,

Actually, you need the cock software update.

Rentlar,

Someone’s wrong on the internet!

Rentlar,

Nice job on the half chrome logo on the second panel

I have outlook, gmail, protonmail, Roundcube mail accounts but mostly managed via IMAP. Guess I get to laugh and cry…

Rentlar,

Yeah, it is quite disappointing. Like why doesn’t the “Pokemon streaming service” have all the seasons and movies? What’s the point of it then?

Rentlar,

The dunkey bit writes itself…

Rentlar,

Yep it’s hilarious that because all the streaming services trying to wall off their own content and region-lock it means that the illegal way is the only reasonable means to access the shows even if you would be willing to spend some money to see it.

Each one comes with predatory practices trying to lock you into long term costs, some have “ad-supported” plans, most have stupid space-wasting apps, and every single one has some onerous EULA they make you agree to.

Rentlar,

The only place you can watch all of the above without restriction…

Rentlar,

Solution: just marry (S) (be)(ve).

Rentlar,

Rentlar,

There are certain niches where automated mirroring is a little useful.

Game day threads, part sales (where people need to be quick) are a couple examples.

I have most post bots blocked though (lemmit, alien, lululemon, etc.).

Like others said the downsides are that they drown out original posts and discussions with authors that never respond to comments. Consequently, the not-logged-in experience on instances that “leave it up to users to block” will appear messy and full of garbage.

I think they have their place but those automated should be contained to communities that want them, easily identified, easy to block and post rate limited to reasonable levels.

A yet to be developed feature in Lemmy would be the ability to somehow “opt-in follow” automated bot posts rather than the current “opt-out” model.

Supercooled water is a thing and it’s pretty cool (no pun intended)…

When you keep water still and cool it to below a few degrees below freezing point, it stays as water but when you give a physical shock to it, it freezes over! Like getting a bunch of Harlem shaking soliders in line.

Laugh at or complain about Ubuntu all you wish… but this type of effort really puts Linux as a compelling competitor to Windows for enterprise desktop users. Rather than paying for the Windows software license and then Microsoft or 3rd party support for the OS on top, the fees would be for dedicated operating system and package support against criticial vulnerabilities. Wouldn’t a business rather have something that “just works as it is” over the long term, rather than something that leaves sysadmins holding their breath every Patch Tuesday with Microsoft randomly shoehorning in “features” here and there that have to be shutoff in GP editor?

More people using Ubuntu means more will be comfortable switching away from mac/Windows. Plus the free software components benefit from having a dedicated team securely supporting the packages over the long term.

The longstanding issue that remains is all the industry-specialized software either crappily-coded or riddled with DRMs and whatnot don’t support Linux well yet.

Absolutely. Perfect for the people that get spooked at one pixel not being where they were used to it being. (It could be me 😳)

Rentlar,

Artistic modelling i use Blender but Parametric modelling I used FreeCAD.

Despite having worked with CAD software, both were a little hard to wrap my head around initially, but I watched like 2 hours of video tutorials each and I figured it out enough for my needs.

Rentlar,

Fuck I’ve got to finish this game before I read this post… I am 10 hours in and it feels like I’ve hardly started.

Authy Desktop client will be discontinued from August 2024

Twillio just announced they’re discontinuing the Desktop version of their popular Two Factor Authentication client. Their proposed solution is for users to move to the mobile app, which of course doesn’t fulfill the use case of people who explicitly chose Authy because it had a desktop client....

Rentlar, (edited )

I use the flatpak Authenticator on my box. I was able to import my andOTP profile relatively easily through the json file.

Rentlar,

It’s called petrol and benzin elsewhere in the world. Gas/gasoline is just a name for automobile fuel.

Btw, on the periodic table at room temperature and typical atmospheric conditions, gases are “fumes”, sure, but all of the first 72 elements are gaseous at 5000°C.

Rentlar,
