What I like with UK subtitles, is that different characters get different colours. With translation subtitles this never seems to happen.

Being overly fake nice because you want a tip. Tbh I'd be more inclined to tip you if you left me alone and stopped talking to me.

The whole tipping thing in USA is weird. Everyone wants a tip, it's entirely random (as a non-American) how much tip to give. Just pay your staff a wage they can actually live on ffs.

The system seems to be;

• Add adverts
• Make them more intrusive
• Add more adverts
• Make them even more intrusive
• Everybody is fed up with adverts because there are now more adverts than content, so introduce paid version which costs more than the company would earn on ad impressions even for a heavy user, to remove ads
• Next step might be to add some ads to paid version?

Obvious one, but the original Tomb Raider.

To save reading the paywalled article, the site is at https://stract.com

I've only done a single search but it gave me a summary at the top, and some discussion forums in a different format. I'm impressed so far!

This is exactly the sort of thing AI should be used for - the stuff that humans can't do. Writing nonsense articles or creating bad art should be left to the humans.

Yes. I'm not particularly bothered which timezone we stay in, just pick one.

How was your delivery?

Rubbish!

I find this very useful to read paywalled articles that Google has managed to index!

OK, I see why they might want to get rid of it.

There's https://fedi-search.com/ and https://www.search-lemmy.com/ as well. I'm not sure if that latter one is still active though, it certainly appears to be down at the moment.

Why? Because they're mine and they need more love.

Yes, it does. Without the plate you will get hot and cold spots where the waves interact. If you don't have a rotating plate you should be manually rotating the food, unless there's some new tech I'm not aware of.

Sublinks? https://github.com/sublinks

I find it blinding now. I don't even like turning the brightness up high (even years before dark mode was common).

I've just noticed there's a Fediverse "optic", so you can restrict it to Fediverse sites.

I never stopped bookmarking. Type a word and usually the browser will find that long lost page from the bookmarks.

I would like to retract my previous comment.

Somebody tried to steal a robot and was surprised that video footage from the robot was used as evidence?

Big box games with proper manuals.

It was invite only, not open registration, so not surprising they didn't have many users. Although Bluesky is the same and that seems to have loads. Hmm.

I had an account but literally used it for five seconds and then largely forgot about it.

The eBay password limit is 256 characters.

They made the mistake of mentioning this when I went to change my password.

Guess how many characters my eBay password has?

No official way, but you can sync the details across with lasim or similar tool.

Home Assistant. I only installed it to help me control my solar/battery but I ended up putting other things on it and fell down a rabbit hole.

I can only assume you've never tried to parse or read XML.

Maybe not Linux per se, but certainly learning how to write scripts and other technical stuff, to automate boring tasks or alert me of things, or writing applications to do things I need, has been a massive time saver - but also a time waster as I enjoy it, and probably spend longer on these things than the amount of time they've saved.

And as footnote, it's always easier to do this stuff on Linux than Windows... plus you can stick things on a Pi so it's cheap and quiet.

Woman across the way chatting to somebody and randomly exposes her breasts. The person she was talking to said, "whoa, that man might see!" (I don't think this was even a reference to me as I was at a weird angle and don't think I was visible). She got them out some more and shouted something about getting a good look at them. I'd backed away more by this point.

(I have an even more X rated one, maybe later)

I think the rest of my communities haven't seen activity lately, so I'll have to post in them first!

Personal: Booted up a friend's infected disk on my Amiga, which then infected the HD. Mass panic for ten minutes or so as I ran Virus Checker or VirusZ on it.

Work: In 2003-ish we had an infection of... I can't even remember the name of it, but we had to manually go round and run a program on everybody's computer to get rid of it.

Since then I've seen a few people get their files encrypted by Ransomware, but no major infections.

!raining@sh.itjust.works - used to be fairly active but has been mostly dead for months.

(hmm, should I promote my own communities here?)

Primary school 4th year (as it was called then). Teacher had some items/words and asked what they had in common (can't remember the exact phrasing), anyway it was things like triangle, tricycle, triceratops. I usually kept quiet even if I knew the answer, but this time nobody spoke up and I was feeling unusually confident. "Tri", I said. The teacher wrote "try" on the board and basically humiliated me. "Anyone else?" I think there was one other answer, and then somebody else said "tri" (or maybe they were clearer and said "they all start with tri"). Anyway, they got congratulated and my protests that that was what I said went completely unheard.

I mean, if you know the answer is "tri", why would you hear and write "try". This incident probably knocked my confidence and made me even more shy of sticking my hand up than I already was.

Yep.

Was active up until last year: http://web.archive.org/web/20220113051947/http://infiltrated.net/

Looks like the blacklisted file itself was updated until May 2015: http://web.archive.org/web/20150522093704/http://infiltrated.net/blacklisted

Those shortcuts invoke clipshare. It looks like there's also a sync mode so you can use normal copy/paste and it will still sync.

Not mentioned yet, but !artshare@lemmy.world is a good place to share art specifically.

Tbh I just saw it needed a login and scrolled back up to the link without reading further, so was obviously a bit hasty in my assessment of it being a paywall.

Instance blocking is coming in 0.19 apparently.

I've been switching back to Firefox. The latest Raspberry Pi OS finally has Firefox as a supported browser, which was the kick I needed, as I tend to use the Pi as my main computer for general tasks. Yesterday I installed the Android Firefox too. I'm trying to reduce reliance on Google as I don't like what they are trying to do with Chrome.

Drum on their steering wheel with actual drumsticks.
