I use KDE Connect as a media remote and to transfer files between my phone and computers. It has quite a few other functions, like remote mouse control, sms, seems to share clipboards as well.

This app crossed the line

In a report released last month, privacy commissioners said people who downloaded the Tim Hortons app had their movements tracked and recorded every few minutes — even when the app was not open on their phones.

My account might be worth $50k? Any offers here? 1/2 price fire sale here on Lemmy, only $27k!

A bit of dementia.

Brown, in physics, low-intensity light with a wavelength of about 600 nanometres in the visible spectrum. In art, brown is a colour between red and yellow and has low saturation.

It cleary says light as a wavelength. By your own photospectrometer if you'd like to see it. I used to do colour testing in a lab.

I like metric wrenches, if my 5mm doesnt fit I can try the 6mm. Most nuts and bolds are not metric, so I end up figuring what comes next if my 1/2" doesn't fit. is it like 33/64th? 34/64th? 17/32nd?

I had a dog that would hump stuffed animals, didn't matter what kind of stuffed animal. Humans live by our culture, which is highly symbolic learned behaviour.

So am I, but I don't act like this.

Saggy Hammerpants. My sister wore them way back, looked like diaperpants back then too.

Former alcoholic here, although I abhor the term, Ill use it for simplicity. Imo, excess drinking is a symptom of other problems. I quit because I didnt want to die like that which is the inevitable outcome. But I had to get my other problems dealt with in order to quit, because for a while, like 10 years, I don't think I cared, so I needed my doctors help with that. Mainly, I didnt want my grandkids to remember me like that, dying of alcohol-related problems, nor did I want my spouse to die like that, bc we were drinking partners. So I had to get her to quit too, which eventually came down to alcohol or me, so she chose me.

I'm replacing reddit with my cousin Lenny

The Highlander sequels were pretty bad.

Maybe 3 inches of pickles!

Three of the four arms sticking upwards don't look like they're attached to anybody. The one on the far left, that one is obviously attached to the guy there, but whose hand is he holding? That lady next to him? The arm is twisted around. And the two arms on the right side, they look disembodied, like they are props in a group photo. Weird.

It's been a long time since I've been in Anthropology class, but this isn't something we were taught academically. Cultural Anthro is all theory-based, academics get paid to publish theory arguments. Imo, biologically, women carried babies, men didn't, there would have been associated cultural roles to accomodate this as successfully as possible. The idea that it's popular theory this meant men hunted and women gathered is just sensationalist. It's niether competely wrong nor completely right. There are elements of both throughout many cultures. It's the idea that it's all or nothing is wrong.

A touch of narcissistic psychopathy, lack of empathy.

Poseidon is getting a little pissed off.

Also Diaspora.

I don't see the connection between Wolverine and Adam Ant, he's British, not Canadian.

Fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head.

I think the terms you're looking for are narcissism and empathy. Narcissism is the inhumanity, empathy the humanity. Can a narcissist have empathy, and vise versa? I can't say I've ever heard of an empathist, having too much empathy.

This is it, regarding Canada at least. I took a course called HIstory of Canadian Education, the education system in Canada was created because of rising hooliganism in cities, as rural couples moved into cities and took factory jobs, and left their children home to fend for themselves.

When I was young, I read "Call of the Wild" and "White Fang".

Littlest Hobo was my fav show, about a dog helping people.

Cmon tell me who are you?

Who who, who who

And then we'll take it higher!

Well, I don't think Carrie Fisher was wearing a bra during her brief apperance in the Star Wars special, so that was something.

It's been a long time since I've watched B5, but have a few times. Curreltly watching Stargate S02E21.

I spend my nights trying to rationalize everything, playing with the toys in my attic. I haven't seen my marbles in quite a while, I think someone took them.

AOL, in a chat room, about 22 years ago.

I saw Repo! The Genetic Opera when it came out in 2008. It's an opera, very little dialouge, if any, I haven't watched it in a while. Paris Hilton has a main role.

Maybe gain a bit of momentum by adding a forwards somersault.

I've been using LibreWolf with uBO for a while, havent seen anything yet.

That's a lack of knowledge. Narcissists can be just as stupid, even more so as they consider themselves smarter than everyone. Sound familiar?

Even as late as the early 00's, spouse and I went to see John Delancie. Spouse bought a signed photo of him as Q, but he also came out from behind his desk and put his arm around her so I could take a pic. Maybe because it wasnt very busy, just casual. A number of years later we "tried" to see Will Shatner, but it was crazy busy, surrounded by security. Just didnt seem worth it.

The paid ProtonVPN has port-forwarding for its Windows app, not for Linux yet though.

My parents were busy trying to control my fucked up sisters children, with my dad dumping as much responsibilty for child rearing as possible on my mom, and my mom passively aggressively resenting it. Same way me and my sister were raised. My family's a mess.

AM car radio can pick up the waves from your cars electrical alternator as well, which can cause the static to rise and fall in pitch as you speed up and slow down.
