Notice how almost all social media sites are now offering, or considering offering, paid 'blue checkmark' options? Yeah, seems that us plebians didn't factor into the 'OMG, that's awesome' reaction from the CEOs.

You get about 0.25v from a potato battery, so 400 or so potatoes and you'd be home, maybe.

This is an ADHD thing? Oh, I guess I learnt something about myself :(

Bezos has a plan to do the same, but I think his calls for 100,000. Those two will be the destruction of this planet with their stupid one-upmanship.

I use Silicon Notes; While it has 'Notes' in the title, it's just a very lightweight markdown based wiki

beehaw isn't down, just very slow, which is it's normal state of being if we're being honest

I absolutely hate that we get Midges, Gnats and Mosquitos in the UK these days, it was mostly judge Midges when I was a kid, although you'd see a rare Gnat and Mosquitos were unheard of.

Probably not, most power supplies go straight to a bridge rectifier - you can supply a bridge rectifier with DC and it will output DC just the same. But it's possible to design a power supply that does it differently, in which case the designer - presumably also the user - would likely know what it needed.

If it internally runs on 5v stepped down, for example, you could just feed it from a handful of proto-potatoes and bypass the whole 110v AC section

Oh god, we're overthinking a 'shitty' larson-esque comic now

I stopped when he went on a transphobic rant about 3 years ago.

It was a couple of years ago, just after he had hooked up with a gf, and he was doing weird AMA videos while wearing a smoking jacket. The general gist of the rant was his political beliefs on racism, wokeism, and 'there are only two sexes', it wasn't a full on hate-speech-apoluza, and probably not enough of a red flag for him to continue gaining in popularity.

For me, it coming a little while after Cody going a bit too RWNJ after Kanyon left him, it was enough for me to nope-out of his channel, but I have a very slim tolerance of youtube celebs anyway, I find most of them unbearable.

edit: given the 'My Girlfriend owns a macbook, F my life' video that was posted a week or two after his rants, I'm going to say it must have been 2019.

Yeah, we get a lot of the black/white legged ones, which are the ones that carry Dengue and Malaria AIUI

At least it's a tail call

I suspect the first game I ever played on PC was 'Ally Cat' in CGA, it was awful. The first game I bought on PC was either UMS or Carrier Command, I was a big fan of Rainbird's software back then.

I suspect /m/FuckingFascists is probably going to get kbin defederated from everywhere, which is clearly their intent :(

eta: Ugh, there's a whole slew of magazines they're using under the pretense of being roleplay kink, horrible, and definitely going to end up causing friction IMO.

When did 'darcula' in the context of the theme become 'dracula' ? The punnyness of 'darcula' always entertained me, but the rename is just sad.

The first game I played was Space Invaders in my dad's local pub, he took me specifically to see and experience it.

The first to play at home was a variant of the grandstand 5000.

Then I played an atari 2600 at a cousin's house, and I fell in love with centipede.

I've seen people on other sites malding about how this proves linux and the GPL are communist. I suppose it's important to know just what those people are melting down about this week.

H J Lu's boot/root, followed by MCC Interim, followed by Yggrasil on CD

Ah, 'dracula' appears to be a very similar looking theme (although less orange) from about 6 months (oct vs mar 2013) after the creation of the original 'darcula' theme that IntelliJ adopted and every other editor has copied since.

America doesn't 'give away' weapons, Ukraine will pay for them eventually, just like Israel, SK, Taiwan, and the rest always do.

identi.ca now thats a url i haven't heard in a long time

While the UK government abandoned this legislation

The law never really became law, it was dropped before the enactment date by Boris (because he loves his porn too much)

Then pixelfed and complete the holy trinity :D

It changes once a year, how stupid are some people that this is an issue?
