This is exactly the goal of gish gallop.

But a fridge is the opposite of an oven. Some kind of flash freezing would be like the unmicrowave.

But you never know (unless you run your own instance) if your instance has been modified to record it somewhere before it is removed.

How about a list of lakes on islands in lakes on islands in lakes?

Mullvad accepts cash in the mail.

Yeah, it's like asking "what does everyone think about bosses?" There are good ones and bad ones.

Which originates from Cazelline, named after the businessman who patented it, which quickly morphed into gasoline, but not because of anything to do with gas as a state of matter, as far as I can tell.

The old lemmy swap-a-doodle.

I thought I was the cool kid when I got my SoundBlaster 16!

Soy cheese is called tofu.

They did host a git server at git.mozilla.org, but took it down years ago.

So tactically, if one or two of the group go first, the rest get to see a preview of most of the body of evidence that will be used against them. If there's any weakness in the presented case, they can craft their defense around it.

The defendant has a constitutional right to have access to all evidence that will or could be used against them, as well as any exculpatory evidence the prosecutor might have.

So if there's a tactic, it's not to be able to see the evidence to improve their legal defense, it's to be able to spin the evidence to the public in the coming months to try to get Trump elected or rile the mob enough for people to try another J6.

I eat cereal from a glass with milk in it.

I used xmpp for years before Google talk federated, and I was so excited. I thought xmpp was finally going to be mainstream, but then they used their weight to control the direction of the protocol, then cut and run. Xmpp has mostly recovered and still a great protocol, but Google kind of messed it up before kicking it to the curb.

Edit: This page no longer exists, but as recently as 2020, Google had a page about how dedicated they were to open chat standards, 7 years after they introduced hangouts, which was once again a closed/proprietary protocol.

I kind of hate when people ask my things like that because I often had a fun weekend but now can't remember what all I did so I have to stop and remember for a while before answering, so I usually just say it was nice and hope they don't ask for more details.

It's definitely gonna set off red flags when the cash disappears an hour later.

This about reopening entire Windows that you closed, which you can undo since version 116, released August 1.

The keyboard shortcut to reopen closed tabs (Ctrl + shift + t or Command + shift + t depending on your operating system) now reopens last closed tab or last closed window, in the order items were closed. If there aren't any tabs or windows to reopen, this command restores the previous session. This change is in anticipation of upcoming changes to recently closed tabs.

Look, it was the 80s, we had to make our own fun.

Do federated instances keep everything forever from communities someone is subscribed to? Or do they just keep a temporary cache that they can drop after no one has accessed it in a while?

Plus it's below zero in Iowa. I would have stayed home too.

I'd say go ahead and make "not for questions about lemmy" a hard and fast rule, and link to some subs that might be better for that (https://lemmy.ml/c/findacommunity, https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support). These aren't open-ended questions. I'd rather this be for questions that will prompt interesting responses based on people's opinions and experiences.

Sync for Lemmy has a menu of them to insert into your comments.

I'd much prefer this be built into lemmy itself. You can block users and communities already in /settings. A keyword block would be a nice addition to that. Advanced blocks where you could block certain keywords (or domains) in certain communities by certain users (or any subset of those) would be amazing.

This reminds me of a great demonstration of how directional antennas focus radio waves in one direction: https://youtu.be/lslHtCUSfN4

PC is a funny word. You can ask Mac or PC (From the era when PC was short for IBM (compatible) PC (vs Apple's PC offerings). But apparently laptop vs PC is also a distinction for some people.

Nowadays I think of a PC as a computer that isn't a dedicated headless server. Or maybe one that isn't a work station for your professional work?

Anyway, is really a term from a bygone age.

My 8 year old daughter got me with this one just yesterday. She was so proud of herself.

Just require users to be logged in to view posts, and then limit them to seeing a few hundred every day. That should stop them from stealing the content.

I like the idea of heat pumps for efficiency, but I fear I would be like you. I'm in a mild climate and my (gas heat) winter utility bills are so low already I have a feeling a more efficient heat pump would actually cost more to run.

Just letting you know submitted this a bunch of times.

Lemmy and kbin are two different pieces of software that both implement the activitypub protocol in a way that they can federate with each other. So it's not just a different UI on top of Lemmy backend (which is also possible).

This post was made a month ago.

Or at least it's you click back into the post your at the same place in the comments that you were.

As a long time reddit moderator, people creating similar usernames to impersonate another user is definitely a problem. That was instantly bannable in all the subs I've moderated.

Having color coded usernames calculated based on their full user/ host could help. Something like https://gustu.github.io/string-to-color/. That would make it more obvious that two users aren't the same user.

Streamable.com is kind of like imgur for video hosting, but it is ad supported and your video gets deleted in 90 days (on the free option).

If you make bread you can tell a difference between brands of flour, and the more expensive stuff is usually noticably better.

I’m using Firefox Nightly, because I think it is the only version that has a working pull to refresh.

Firefox Beta for Android has pull to refresh that works.

It also needs to show me how I voted in the UI. It's stored somewhere.
