I recently had a complaint with a website:
"Users are having trouble scrolling!"
My response:
"Are they using the scroll wheel/directly scrolling with the touchpad, or using the scroll bar?"
They were, of course, using the scroll bar. I am now somehow responsible for design choices made at the level of the browser, because browsers have decided that the scroll bar should be nigh impossible to use. Yippee.
Not to mention: that's punishing people who are specifically, deliberately TRYING to become parents. They're probably among the LEAST likely to get abortions.
There isn't any logic. The cruelty is the point.
I've used OCLP, and I didn't even realize they largely switched to Discord. That explains why finding some info was such a PITA when I was playing around with it.
I will never understand why people choose to use Discord as a forum replacement. It's just such an awful platform for that.
and your phone only has one number.... right?
Dual-SIM phones are a thing and have been for a LONG time. They're not as common in the US (where I'm assuming you're from given you aren't familiar with dual-SIM phones) but even my S22 supports it, and I think even iPhones come with it stock now. A lot of people use two SIM cards for a multitude of reasons, and so many people have two numbers. Heck, some phones even support three SIM cards.
Dig they bring out a PC client yet btw?
It's been out for a long time now. You have to set it up on your phone first but then you install the application on your computer, scan a QR code to link it, and at that point you can just disable notifications on your phone if you don't want them.
She was born October 13th, 1989. That means she'll be 35 by the time of the election in November, not to mention before the inauguration in January (the date that actually matters). So, she's definitely eligible.
I'm not sure about other EU countries, but Vyvanse (lisdexamphetamine, a prodrug form of dexamphetamine) is legal in Germany under the name Elvanse
But, like, to where would they be deported? That typically implies sending them back to their place of origin, but in this case they're almost always from the US. Perhaps exile would be a better term to use.
My proposal: exile them to Texas (let's call it a "Texile"), and then let Texas have that independence they seem to so strongly desire.
It's not reasonable to assume that most people are going to self-host, or even how to go about doing that if they wanted to, but people still deserve a right to privacy and products that support that. I think that's what they were trying to say
Counterargument: it ruined https://youtu.be/Vx5prDjKAcw and that's not cool.
It wouldn't necessarily collapse (it wasn't exactly suffering before FOSS stuff "hit the shelves", so to speak) but the gatekeeping that comes with it would certainly cause a tremendous amount of stagnation
Zenni is pretty good. My current pair is from Firmoo and is also pretty good. Goggles4u has also worked fine for me, but they took ages to ship.

DDOS is a pretty brute-force attack, so it isn't typically relying on a vulnerability per se. Pretty much the only way to mitigate it is to have large enough infrastructure that you can detect and filter out its gobs of spammy traffic, which no Lemmy instances (at least at the moment) can really practically have. They could potentially use a service like CloudFlare, which does have that infrastructure in place, but that can be expensive. I'd imagine CloudFlare (or a competitor) is probably the best solution they can go with, at least in the short-term.
I've unironically been using this font ever since I found it a year or two ago. I find it makes it so much easier to read everything. I've even suggested it to others. It's actually a decent font.
tl;dr: my PHEV does change gears when in EV mode, as weird as it sounds
So, I drive a Hyundai Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid EV (PHEV). It's a hybrid with a larger battery so you can plug it in and drive fully-EV on the battery for about 30 miles/50 kilometers or so. The freaky thing is that the EV motor is connected to the transmission, so it does switch gears sometimes and you can feel it when it does. Even freakier is that this also applies to regenerative braking: when you slow down from a high speed, you can sometimes feel it switching gears while you brake. That all isn't too bad since it's got a dual-clutch transmission and so it switches gears pretty quickly, but it can still be a bit freaky at times.
Additionally: there are some people who have converted antique cars to EVs, but to save money they didn't touch the transmission and instead elected only to replace the engine. They still have manual transmissions in them, though I suppose you could probably just find a suitable gear to leave them on 100% of them time. Still, you can, in principle, switch gears on them.
*Potential room temp superconductors that still require confirmation
ftfy. This is one of the "holy grails" in science, and there have been many claims to have achieved it that all turned out to be false under further investigation. Definitely take the most recent claims with a really big grain of salt, pending independent verification by other labs. Remember: if it can't be independent reproduced, it isn't meaningful.
I'll just leave this here. In short: a guy wrote a physics engine to simulate any combustion engine, and then further got it working with an electric motor so electric motors can use a simulated vroom vroom
I think it's to draw a distinction from the similar "milliard", which means "billion" in British English but has fallen out of fashion.
This is valid and I hate it.
Anyway, according to Wolfram Alpha's calculation (because I'm lazy), my car has a fuel economy of 2.126x10^11 inverse hectares

Actually, it's spelled curb in the US
I do too. To be clear, I did NOT mean that we could go without it today. What I meant was that if we didn't have it to start with, things would've likely still developed albeit much more slowly.
I'll also preface this by saying I definitely slightly misread everything before and so my reply was kinda crappy
Her birthday is in late October. She'll barely be 35 by the point of the election in November, but she will still be 35. So, she'd be 35 both when elected, and when inaugurated. It's a non-issue.
If confirmed, it would be much more than an "oh, neat" kind of discovery. Unlike many things which are very much a scientific pursuit – still worth researching, but having few, if any, applications outside of the pursuit of knowledge – a room temperature, ambient pressure superconductor has immense practical benefits. A true room temperature, ambient pressure superconductor would stand to revolutionize many things, and whoever discovers it will almost definitely get a well-deserved Nobel prize for their effort.
But regardless: she'll be 35 by the point of the election anyway so it's a non-issue to begin with.
:f
She's not even holding the flute right. I'm not sure the Lord will appreciate her fingerings
