Casual ConversationI have DuckDuckGo set as default everywhere (with all the AI n such turned off), and I only revert back to Google sometimes when shopping or doing deep research. It still just does some things better, but it’s worth avoiding if you don’t need it.
Mine says JavaScript when a link executes a script. I’d like to know more… But not enough to come back here and check for more.
MoviesIt was certainly hard to watch.
No Stupid Questions99% of the internet is trash. Pages bouncing all over while loading, constant cookie or login popups (even with various blockers), links not connecting, old long outdated content being pushed to the front of searches, junk AI slop non-answers articles or marketing lists about a problem vs actual detailed answers….
Then there are all the various billing systems for various marketplaces, that all wanna require memberships for one time sales, before they tell you the shipping cost.
And so so much more.
It’s all heavily dysfunctional and lame and not user friendly at all anymore.
politicsToo literate…. Use the wrong word in there somewhere, or mess it up some other way.
It’s going to be great, but it may not work.
Star Trek Social ClubJust 5 million more and they might get something out of it.
I wanted one for a camper, before they were released, but only if the cab could be opened to the rear….
Wasn’t interested after release though.

FYI, I have 4 teal, 3 are unused, the one that was used was used once like 2 years ago, and I tested it 2 days ago and it was still super bright. I assume the unused 3 still have good batteries too.
Weird coincidence seeing this post just after testing that light. Didn’t even know these were still sold in stores. They were like $1 each when I got them, so I figured they were made as 1 time use junk.
WikipediaAnd they discovered earth cats about 1500 years ago.
Just because she blamed her mom for her distress while she was experiencing it doesn’t mean her mom did anything wrong… People often target the wrong people or sources for blame when they are having issues. It’s extremely common–you can pretty much count on it.
Dull Men's ClubI use a battery pump too, but have a manual in my trunk for backup. Never had any luck pouring a gas can–at least not since the 90s. The new fancy spouts make things worse! Plus those large cans are a bit heavy and awkward, especially when you have a wrist or back injury.
EuropeFund tranfering should be a gov service provided at cost and maintained as a partnership between nations to make commerce easy for their citizens.
Profit shouldn’t even be a concern.
TechnologyShe should just donate all the profits going forward, and focus on making sure anything on the platform is legit consensual sex work and not people being forced into it. Not that I think that happens a lot, but she sounds like she’d be up for improving the system to better know for sure, and provide better support and resources for sex workers in general.
Android@lemmy.world
App doesn’t appear to work at all.
Might work with the floating button, but I won’t activate it to test.
The accessibility option it needs is unclear, it just sent me to the android accessibility setting tab with no idea what needs to be done there, if anything.
It didn’t replace my default assistant when I tried to change it.
Circletosearch says to double tap the status bar? Why? That doesn’t do anything?
I didn’t see anything sketchy about the app, but it doesn’t appear to be functional, so meh. Maybe try again after they’ve worked on it some more.
Ran into this on newpipe last week, just loaded a webpage in mobile Firefox then went back to newpipe and refreshed the page.
Not sure about your situation, but there are definitely work arounds for some situations.
Not The OnionHelped somebody homeschool a kid in elementary school a decade ago, the system was pretty user friendly and only really needed a human adult to keep the kid on task and ensure breaks and such. Basically didn’t need to help at all.
If the student is willing to learn, and knows to take breaks when they lose focus, I don’t see why an AI teacher wouldn’t be sufficient for 90% or more of the class-time…. But a human teacher should still be reachable for occasional needs.
Heck one actual teacher could probably manage thousands of students for most classes if AI and digital course systems are there to handle most guidance.
There’s definitely still something to be said for in-person schooling… But it isn’t necessary for every class… I was bored as fuck in school for a handful of basic classes cause I had to wait for the ‘class’ to catch up before we moved on. I prefer online courses for anything that doesn’t require hands on guidance.
If you hit up some sources for the wattage details for something in your size, you’ll notice that the energy star annual use matches, so you can just grab one around whatever energy star energy use rating that fits your needs.
It’s just a basic general conversion, but not all manufacturers are up front about wattages.
Also, remember they pull more power when the compressor kicks on, so make sure what power source you have can hit that max easy enough.
I’d double tap it: add a lot of bait and trap stations too, and set it up and run it a good long while without food in it. Sealed beverage bottles/cans are fine.
Just set a reminder for a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks and a month, to check traps and refresh if necessary. Then add food if it’s all clear.
Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱWell, I originally saw both Blair Witch and H20 played from really dark and messy VHS copies of theater recordings…. And man, let me tell ya, they were both way better as low quality cams that HD movies!
I intentionally watch bad Horror as cams now, when I can, even decades later… It really adds to the experience!
Free and Open Source SoftwareDoes this mean epubs won’t stop and require a new page to load at the end of chapters / new file segments?
It’s one of my biggest gripes switching from mobi single file ebooks to epub multi-file ebooks.
Should just append the next file and allow the flow to continue.
Been waiting for such a change for epub reading apps for many years.
Update: OMG yes, it works! (Not by default, scroll mode must be opted-in first via 3-dot menu)
Now I can maintain the same scroll while reading habits I do for online content, PDFs, and Mobi files while reading ePubs! Bout damn time!
This is now my default ebook reader everywhere!
Looks like road rage & attempted assault, license suspension at a minimum. Should be license revocation, considering he’s an in uniformed federal officer.
The items listed weren’t necessarily waste, pans and tires and part bikes and barrels and recyclables he may have collected to turn in for coin… He may have cleaned up other areas in order to collect some of the stuff he had at his site, we don’t know.
The people who clear campsites just estimate weight of all they remove and label it all ‘trash that they cleared’… But it’s never is.
That’s like calling all the plants in my yard weeds, just cause you don’t like them.
My SO and I fill a 30L trash bag every two weeks, and our recycling is usually filled faster as there’s so much paper/cardboard packaging on everything, plus we favor food stuff sold in recycable containers.
Our recycling basically goes out every week, as the two bins are smaller than our trash can, but our trash can usually goes out less and with one or two bags in it… We’d wait, but it’s hot outside and we don’t want to leave it there boiling and rotting for weeks.
Actually, a lot of that sounds pretty practical.
The barrels would work as slow burn barrels for long term heat on cold nights, the bike parts could be a source of income (part bikes > full bikes to sell), more than 2 pans seems too many, but he may go through them fast if used over an open fire (depending on the type of pan), for millennia campers kept fires buring over night or for days to make cooking later easier (yes it’s risky in some situations, but practical in general), and covering his car would ensure it looked cleaner and required lower maintenance (both have a lot of perks for a homeless person trying to live cheaply and fly under the radar). I’m not sure about the tires, but keeping cans and some other materials can def provide a source of income.
Nothing is ever really disposable, except the abusive people in your life. We could all benefit from less of those. Everything else is reusable or recyclable. Just listing this guys possessions without explanations for them makes them easy to dismiss as trash, but that isn’t necessarily even close to honest. He likely had some actual waste on site from food prep or completed projects, but by no means was all his stuff trash.
Just give them sensibly labels and tags when making them so they are findable and usable. Don’t fret over organization beyond that, it won’t improve your quality of life, go for a walk or something instead.
Gonna be more next time… Way more.
Well, I grew up with knowledge of cable pirating in apartment complexes, VHS recording of retals to share or rewatch or watch later, and tape and CD sharing and mixing…
So as far as Im aware pirating was always a easy, viable, and economically savvy choice.
I did explore Netflix for a brief time 15 years ago, but the quality of their service degraded heavily, and I still pirated alongside my Netflix membership, as their content was always limited. And I shared my member ship with others, then later occasionally used a membership that was shared with me, until Netflix broke that system.
Courage, or ego, depending on varous complex genetic factors.
You had me at built in ad blocker.
If I get attacked by mosquitoes, even just a few bites, I spray down the whole yard and house siding, and then put out traps.
Figure I kill many for each bite I receive.
That reminds me, I have a zapper and a bat house to install.
Mosquitos messes with the wrong ombre.
My Sammy rang the front door bell to be let in when I was a kid. One night around midnight my dad opened the door nude to let Sammy in and some dude was standing there instead.
I’ve heen casually riding at 16mph on single gear bikes since I was a teen.
Have the people deciding the speed limit ever riden a bike?
Gonna go seed some roms.
When I got here a Michael said it was The Good Place, but I’m beginning to think he lied?
Mine does not, but I do it anyway…
That’s the cost of using me as a couch.
Isn’t a published book ‘media saying something’?
Private DNS service.
Jerry rig door sensor.
Probably against the rules, but I’d do it anyway.
She stole my cat.
Yeah, sure, those totally look like polar bear faces and bodies….
Did the artist see any polar bears before carving this, or were they blind and working from verbal description?
Personally, I’m petty sure this is a normal example of 19th century porn.
