papalonian, to mildlyinteresting in At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book—one page at a time, by hand.

I also learned that you can copy a video link and paste it into VLC media player and it will play!

You can also use this trick to download YouTube videos without the need of a 3rd party website!

  1. Copy the URL of the YouTube video you wanna download
  2. VLC / Media / Open network stream… And paste your URL
  3. Once the video has opened, Tools / Media Information
  4. Copy the URL in the “Location” field and paste it into your web browser, you should have the option to save the video

It’s a couple of steps but once you memorize what you need to do it’s a million times faster (and I’d wager equally times as private) than finding one of those websites to give you a link.

papalonian, to baldurs_gate_3 in What's your favorite fight to use the Iron Flask? And what's the "best" fight to use it, and what's the most ridiculously unhinged situation to use it?

Never thought about using it during combat. I’ve always just popped the top when my co-op mates are looking for something to do.

Maybe I’m dumb but I don’t understand the “format” - are the top and bottom sections of text supposed to be related to the middle text? Why is the text over a bottle of alcohol?

papalonian, to lemmyshitpost in How much for cuddles?

Someone else answered but yes it’s a boomer expression. Basically to mean you’re in trouble with your spouse. (They aren’t letting you in their bed so you go to sleep with your dog in the dog house.)

papalonian, to lemmyshitpost in so real

Everyone is always asking what Mr Beast will be doing for his next video.

Nobody ever asks how Mr Beast will be doing for his next video.

papalonian, to lemmyshitpost in People in this community don't know what a shitpost is

Yup I like the one currently on the front page that is information about global warming. Top tier shit post.

papalonian, to asklemmy in Good “Buy for Life” Brands

Yup that’s my bad, I misread the acronym and I guess imagined the brand of UPS I had.

It was just a joke, lol. “Big if true” is a common ironic phrase

MFW someone has different preference than me: 😡

Have you tried unplugging it with things powered on to make sure the battery is working? The batteries are supposed to be replaced every couple years, I found out when I started having power outages last winter and my (seasonic) PSU just turned off when the power flickered and PC was running. I bought a replacement battery off Amazon for cheap and it was easy to swap out.

This is actually huge if true 🤔😯

papalonian, (edited ) to asklemmy in What's the funniest mishearing of song lyrics you've had?

Taylor Swift - Blank Space

“Got a long list of ex lovers”

As

“Gotta love those Starbucks lovers”

I thought it was supposed to be a self aware “white girl” joke.

papalonian, to lemmyshitpost in IT support work be like

Yeah, I have my own password generation scheme. Not the most secure thing in the world but I’m at least able to log in to my accounts from other people’s computers. One of these days I’ll get around to using a password manager but I just can’t be bothered.

papalonian, to lemmyshitpost in IT support work be like

Like others have said they’re probably using Google as a password manager. When you’re making an account for anything while in the Chrome browser it recommends strong passwords for you such as UjafUif&i$ureT6hj9gzq5hvc$tcgo0be3. Would you memorize it?
