grue,

There is no such thing as “the peertube link” (emphasis added) because (a) as with Lemmy, there is no single canonical Peertube instance, and (b) unlike Piped etc., Peertube isn’t designed to mirror Youtube, but instead be its own platform.

In other words, in order to post a Peertube link, somebody would have to explicitly choose to upload the Youtube video to a specific Peertube instance and then post the link to that.

grue,

You’re not late. There are still nine days of Christmas left to go!

grue,

it’s an old one, now…

You can tell by the comically-large '90s cellphone!

It is very important that you all know that Sarah Silverman made out with Tim Russ during the time she was on Voyager. (www.cinemablend.com)

I kissed him [Robert Duncan McNeill] at the end of the episode, and he was standing on an apple box because God forbid you’re the same height as the girl. And then, I made out with him [Tim Russ] in real life....

“Look, either we make the guy taller or I turn this into an Angel One or Code of Honor remake” – Berman, probably.

grue,

You joke, but meteorite impacts causing large igneous provinces on the opposite side of the planet might actually be a thing.

(Uluru and Meteor Crater are provably not an example of this, though, for several reasons: they aren’t antipodes of each other, Uluru is five orders of magnitude older, and the phenomenon I mentioned would’ve been caused by way, way bigger impacts.)

You know how the right-wing nutjobs have been frothing about a “new world order” conspiracy theory for a long time now? You know, the one about a secretive multinational cabal plotting to take over the entire world?

Yeah… it turns out even .

American here. How much is that converted to Mooches?

Star Trek already did this, except it was Data instead of a Vulcan and he didn’t get a very good grade.

Might as well ask Lemmy how to pass the Kobayashi Maru test, while you’re at it.

grue,

When it isn’t otherwise occupied, instead of a parking lot, it could just be a park.

I’m wondering where your reading comprehension is.

It’s at the part where you wrote (emphasis added):

There’s stuff going on pretty frequently but when it ain’t, it’s gonna have to be a skatepark + parking lot.

Don’t fucking tell me it’s a parking lot and then accuse me of lack of reading comprehension when I call it a parking lot!

grue,

I’m reading that less as “amazing German efficiency” and more as “WTF, they waste the space on a parking lot the rest of the year?”

Chrome is based on Safari (which itself is based on KHTML). They diverged a long time ago, but there’s still a genetic relationship there. Even if Safari for Windows were still a thing and you were serious instead of trolling, that strategy still wouldn’t be as good as switching to Firefox’s actually-unrelated codebase.

(Also, the real WTF is using Windows in general.)

grue,

One of my computers is a Chromebook (which I was required to have in order to run my college’s proctoring spyware, and bought before the Manifest V3 controversy was a thing). I’ve tried running Firefox on it inside the Linux virtual environment but it doesn’t work well, and the issue hasn’t been urgent enough to be worth blowing away Chrome OS and making it into a normal Linux laptop yet.

grue,

…over the stack of plugs sticking so far out from the wall.

Good luck web devs (lemmy.world)

Alt text:Twitter post by Daniel Feldman (@d_feldman): Linux is the only major operating system to support diagonal mode (credit [Twitter] @xssfox).

grue,

That, right there, is a perfect example of why folks need to stop trying to shoehorn web apps everywhere they don’t belong. It’s a use-case for a proper native mobile app if ever there was one.

That’s why you should’ve just handled arbitrary rotations instead of inventing a finite predefined set of orientation “modes” in the first place.

Things get a lot easier in the long run if you aggressively look for commonalities and genericize the code that handles them instead of writing bunches of one-off special cases.

grue,

BRB, sticking microcontrollers to the back of my monitors so I can use their accelerometers to report the orientations in real time…

grue,

He had enough of one to go clubbing with the mescaline guy. Let’s be honest: a truly anti-social geek would never even get the invite.

grue,

The C3-PO leg is perfect, but I think decapitating R2-D2 is a little extreme just to be an analogue for the lampshade. Maybe a stormtrooper helmet instead?

I found a software project called LibreScore (new version) / musescore-downloader (old version). (I’m linking the old version because the readme has useful background info about MuseScore’s bad faith, which wasn’t copied to the newer project.) However, the app gives me an error when I try to download anything.

grue,

Although it’s the third least-popular of the eight songs the guy’s done so far, it’s by far my favorite. Not only is the concept great, it’s definitely the most technically successful one (in terms of the lyrics being pieced together the smoothest).
