Do yourself a favor and throw out all other food ad well, unless it’s completely sealed off. Their eggs take a while to hatch, so you don’t want to see them pop up again in a month.

Then clean the entire kitchen with a spray of vinegar and water. Pay extra attention to corners, crevices, and places like screws. Their eggs are tiny.

You can also get a pheromone trap to avoid them spreading further.

One good thing to come out of Reddit’s demise is that I hadn’t read her name in about three weeks.

One thing that’ll need serious consideration:

I feel like it’s inevitable that Lemmy will get an advertisement module that admins can enable. Alternative monetisation methods can also work, such as subscriptions. But users will have to realise that servers aren’t free.

If you’re an admin for a small community and are willing to carry the burden: great. If you’re hosting a community that can support itself by donations: also great. But sooner or later we’ll need some ways to make servers sustainable.

(Not a fan of advertisements and would prefer to be a paying user, but as Lemmy takes off we shouldn’t look down on admins trying to mitigate their expenses).

Then you and many you knew should’ve been brought up with better manners.

The dairy and meat lobbies are something else. It’s like smoking in the fifties.

It’s well established that there are serious health concerns when you consume animal produce (not to mention environmental and animal welfare ones), yet the industry keeps pushing back on plant-based alternatives.

I say there are some fair applications of SaaS. If you use a product that requires servers to be running, paying a recurring cost for however long you need the software is fair.

That being said, mandatory SaaS on a physical product with upfront cost is decidedly shitty. Especially when it’s a 50k car.

This feels a bit surreal. After all of the scandals over the past few years, I hadn't expected this to be the breaking point. I think it'll be good for the Netherlands to get a soft reboot of politics. Most of the country was very much fed up with Rutte.

Not sure where we'll go from here. I hope GroenLinks and PvdA together can gather lots of support. If not...

I, for one, welcome our new BBB overlords.

I’m very much looking forward to that fight. Whichever way it goes, we’re going to see one of earth’s biggest douchebags get beat up.

Soap of any kind. It’s fine if you want a certain smell, but at the end of the day it all works the same. Goes for hand soap, shampoo, detergent, body wash, etc.

You should’ve acted. He’s already here.

Imagine you have a book that’s written in Korean. If you gave it to me and asked me to read it out loud, I wouldn’t be able to make sense out of it. If you gave it to a Korean person, however, they could read it perfectly fine.

The book itself hasn’t changed — just the person reading the book. And that person has a different set of skills (or instructions, if you will).

I swore off Samsung for this reason after I had the S3. I thought the bloatware situation had gotten better over the years…

Had a few devices with stock Android that I really liked (such as the Nexus 5 and Moto X) over the years, but even then it’s difficult to escape some of the built-in bullshit.

Kind of gave up on that and switched to iPhone a few years back… You still get the mandatory vendor apps, but at least now I also get the ecosystem benefits.

Lots of love for Bitwarden in this thread; I’d also like to pitch in with 1Password. It’s got a great UX and I even got my mom on board.

Used to use Lastpass since ~2013; really glad I switched last year. Lastpass has turned to absolute shit.

Well obviously not… Because the nose wheel fell off.

Good on her doing charity work

I’m not sure Aliexpress is a shining beacon of workers’ rights either.

This is full of terrible advice. Password rotation is an outdated practice.

Don’t ever reuse passwords with “zones”, just use a password manager to generate long and secure passwords for every account. Then enable MFA wherever possible, and Passkeys where they have been implemented.

Then have a recovery method for the password manager stored in a secure place.

Let’s gamble, try merging

Macron is the president and head of state. He’s elected directly by the citizens of France.

Attal is (was) the prime minister and head of government. He’s elected by the members of parliament. He’s appointed by the president but needs majority support in parliament.

“To form a government” usually means that someone is tasked by the head of state (president or king) to come up with a group of people (cabinet) that has majority support in the house(s) of parliament. That’s easy for Starmer when Labour has a majority. In other countries like the Netherlands, Germany, or Italy, that usually requires a coalition.

That will now also be the case in France.

Celebrated!

I made the switch to full Bluetooth a few years back.

Honestly don’t ever miss the headphone jack nowadays, but I’ll admit that making the initial jump was a bit of a hassle.

Do you have any skills you can use?

You can also sign up for medical trials.

Hotel California. I refuse to elaborate further.

It might just be your vote that flips a city or county

It’s always your vote that flipped the seat; everyone who voted after you just showed up as backup.

I also choose this guys poop knife

As someone who’s never heard of the place: Ottawa county honestly sounds like a shit place to live.

Every analysis I’ve read from reputable sources have come to the conclusion that this was bad for Putin. I think I’ll stick to Occam’s razor on this one.

I hope it’s not actual wild life. If it is: don’t bloody feed it.

It doesn’t help, but there are a few factors that are more limiting right now. Labour shortage is one, as are nitrogen emissions. A lot of developers also find the current building costs too high.

There are plenty of plots that can be built on, with all of the paperwork good to go.

Fashion clothes

Better yet: buy long-lasting stuff that is ethically produced. Primark is notoriously bad in this regard — but most fast fashion stores are.

I’m a little bit out of the loop here… Why don’t we like awkwardtheturtle?

I think China could use some realpolitik here. They have very little to gain by invading Taiwan, and a lot to lose. If they could change their policy and work towards a clean split, I doubt Taiwan would keep insisting that they’re the true China. And they would earn a lot of goodwill throughout the world.

Edit: Wow, I didn't expect this to take off like this. Thanks for all the upvotes! xD

“Well you’re stupid.”

  • “Nuh ahh!”

Honestly, I felt like if there was one company that could make it work, it’d be Apple. The hardware looks impressive and they’ve got enough ecosystem benefits to at least get some applications going beyond gaming, video, and porn.

Plus, Apple products have such a critical mass that other developers are bound to jump on board. This headset sounds like a niche product that’ll fail because of it being far too niche. If they could’ve launched an app for an already successful headset instead, I might’ve been more optimistic.

If you want to be taken serious in clown shoes, seek out the circus instead of the pub.
