I have a lamp and that has an LED that is on all the time.

Why would a lamp have a permanently on LED? That's what I get for getting cheap crap from China, rather than premium crap from China.

My cat likes to invert her spine into a kind of gel substance and then stick her face down the side of the bed between the wall.

I am fairly sure that she is perfectly happy with having a whiskers compressed, what she's not happy about is having less food.

Exactly.

The protest wasn't supposed to be about causing problems, it was supposed to be about making a point. That's what people who opposed the protests never understood. Including Reddit.

They kept saying "oh it'll calm down and then everyone will come back to the site", well, it did calm down, but only because people decided they couldn't be bothered with them anymore. Since there were always other options, people went there. (God only knows why that didn't occur to the likes of Spez)

Wouldn't supplying Trump come under religious belief.

People throw around the word too much, there are actual Nazis around and we need to reserve the term just for their special brand of evil. Otherwise the phrase gets so watered down as to essentially become meaningless.

Otherwise they are just rightwing dipshits.

Also he is using it wrong because "sunsetting" means a slow winding down. You know, because the sun doesn't instantly turn off.

But they basically literally just suddenly turned off gold today, without any pre warning.

They have basically sent a message to everyone telling them they've already done it.

There's one near me with a split SSID called, VM2.4ghz and VM5ghz-not5g

I'm pretty sure it's my elderly neighbors, and I am pretty sure their kids got sick of explaining that five gigahertz and 5G are not the same thing, and neither cause covid.

If a company makes it hard for me to cancel I won't mess around with them I'll just cancel the direct debit on my side and they can deal with it.

I will try and cancel using the approved method but really it's their responsibility to let you terminate the contract. After all what are they going to do, not let me open the contract again later on, of course they're not, so the onus is on them.

It's the Romulans, they're holding back human progress.

I think that ship has unfortunately sailed.

Even if I buy a game on Steam I don't technically own it. If the game was ever deleted from their servers and then I lost my local copy either because I uninstalled it or because I got a new computer, I would have no way to get my game back, and I doubt that Valve would refund me.

But some games literally don't have physical releases, even if I did have an optical drive. So what option do I have?

The only real solution to all of this is a changing copyright law that says that once a piece of software no longer becomes commercially available through legitimate means it becomes legal to pirate it. But that would require politicians around the world to a, understand computers and b, not being 900,000 years old.

My parents still do. The person who delivers it also delivers butter and eggs.

I'm not sure where the butter and eggs and stuff come from but he owns the dairy the milk comes from and he's part of a cooperative that pay for the equipment. According to him it's just not worth selling to the big stores as he makes more money with fewer customers doing it himself.

I think you're going to the wrong place. That or the US is just insane.

I think I'd pay about £8 (approx $10.11) per ticket here in the UK. That is without buying food.

You know what I was thinking is weird about this the predicted tablet computers but somehow they didn't predict emailing the files to your superior.

Sir I have finished my report, here, have my entire table computer, I'll go get another. I can see you already have six others, but this one has my word document on it.

Although there are people where I work that actually think that's how computers work.

we're probably the only intelligent life in the universe.

Fairly boring simulation then isn't it?

And they did all this as a web app??

A lot of things that used to require native apps Android/ iOS / Windows / Mac can now be done as a web app which is easy because it means you don't need to compile the code four times.

There's only a certain number of people in the world, and only a subset of them have easy access to the internet, and only a subset of them have disposable income.

Yet infinite profits are the expectation somehow.

The government in my country are going to collapse, things what live under rocks know it, and it's basically the same thing. They have managed to dilute themselves into believing that they're all right that they're fine that they don't need to change anything that they will succeed.

Basically everyone else is watching from the sidelines, with popcorn, because we all given up trying to convince them to change.

He is truly a brainless prat.

There is also .io for the Indian Ocean territories. They seem to be fine with it. It is interesting they have problem with it. I wonder what the actual motivation is, because it can't be due to a lack of viable domain for businesses.

I mean there's admiring a ruthless mob boss - and then there is admiring a petty thief that keeps getting arrested and all his plans blow up in this face.

Spez is losing his tiny mind.

Only because the US government doesn't feel like doing any actual governing whatsoever.

Like most problems in IT I blame the users for randomly clicking button they don't understand.

Init is part of the specification so it was always going to be added.

Sweden will help them apply, but they've got to do all the prerequisite economic work themselves.

They don't like federating with instances with open signups

It's unfortunate there isn't really a way to migrate accounts from one server to another. You basically have to create a new account which is a bit of a pain.

Oh, they are authoritarian enough. They just aren't powerful enough.

Want to know what it looks like to go power crazy with no power, then go look at the Tories.

Also We'te, which I believe is a Klingon name.

I can create anything your heart desires, as long as your heart desires simple plastic objects and it's prepared to wait five hours.

I think 3D printers will really become mainstream when they're a bit more capable.

I wish I could have some less of it, at the moment though 90% of the posts on the fediverse are Reddit this, and Reddit that.

Post some other stuff please.

It's going to be absolute hell because homes in these countries are designed to retain heat, have no air conditioning, and typically are built with large windows to let as much light in as possible.

It has also been said that “the customer is always right”.

That's not really the saying, it's what everyone thinks the saying is, especially Karen's, but it isn't.

The saying is "the customer is always right, about the price". I.e. that value of a product is equal to what people are prepared to pay for the product, not what you'd like them to pay, as a business owner.

It has nothing to do with businesses have to appease customers, regardless of whether they're being ridiculous or sensible.

Plan for a possible possible eventuality? That'll be a first.

I assume there was a plan that Cameron got rid of because reasons and now they can't find the PDF so they'll have to do it again.

This is a problem with the US legal system. Every decision is a precedent, no matter how specific it is.

Yeah, Lemmy has address to this by just having an incredibly glitchy algorithm (look at this post with five up votes from four months ago, it deserves to be on the front page). No one can game it because no one understands it.

What's somewhat depressing is that he didn't have to act like that. It's done in no favours at all and yet he still chose to be a complete twit.

If Reddit experience a drop a 5% of its user base I doubt they would immediately notice. And even if they did sites like this (pcmag) would not consider that a major drop and so wouldn't even report it as such.

But we all know that 5% of the users produce 90% to the content.

Replace them with a script that goes into every comment and put "duplicate of existing post".

Even if there is no existing post.

That is generally how NDA'S work.

It has been pretty much accepted now that most of them are legally unenforceable if anyone were to actually challenged them.

What I want to know is why Apple even have some of this data to give them?

Like Purchase History, shouldn't that be between me and the retailer, why do Meta need it?

No because they're only doing this for Instagram users who are located in the United States. It hasn't launched anywhere else yet.

Probably because it will be quite illegal in Europe so they probably are not going to do it for European users but it hasn't launched there yet anyway so we don't know.
