I'll have the brussels sprouts appetizer.

Just came here to say that this also affects any applications that use the libwebp library.

That includes many apps that most people don't think of as "browsers".

Electron based applications all use chromium under the hood, and are quite common/prolific these days.

Expect updates to a lot of things in the near future.

TSA Pre-check.

Yes, it's fucking obnoxious that it exists at all, given the "security theater" of it all, but man... being able to breeze past the super long lines at the airport is such a better experience.

I found the web UI on mobile a bit clumsy for my big thumbs.

There's a couple early beta apps for iOS:

Memmy - https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD

To be honest I'm still skeptical of the Fediverse as a long term endeavor, but I'm going to give it a fair shake in the meantime.

That said, I was never much of a heavy user of twitter or reddit anyway, so watching the Fediverse explode while various corporate entities implode is just popcorn entertainment.

Pretty sure the internet would collapse in a matter of hours.

Might I suggest a "single column" version as well, for the folks on mobile devices? 😁

yes.

as a long time former smoker, I managed to kick the habit, and it makes me sad when my friends haven't been able to do the same.

Absolutely this. They're not competing. They're not the same thing. It's like asking when texting will beat gmail.

One is a private for profit enterprise. The other is an open standard with lots of entities using that standard.

Just a word of advice about any/all non-cast-iron pans... never take a hot pan and run it under water. It may create a very satisfying blacksmith blast of steam effect, but it almost invariably results in the bottom of the pan warping to be not-quite-flat.

Pretty much anything by Electric Six or Clutch. Honorable mentions to Soul Coughing and VNV Nation.


Karma chameleon, you come and go ⋅ Karma police, arrest this ho. ⋅ Karma's a bitch, it gets a little jumpy when you come near.

Like Harry Truman dropping bombs out of the air ⋅ Like any self-respecting multi-billionaire ⋅ This is who you are, five dancing teenage boys ⋅ Who sing their way into our hearts ⋅ Backstreet's back, alright

Next thing that I did was tap out Morse code ⋅ With a wooden nickel on the receiver of the phone ⋅ Before I could complete it, I was quickly overtaken ⋅ By the angry spirits of Ronald and Nancy Reagan

It's hard to tell what's a bug in the app and what's a bug in the underlying Lemmy service these days.

Hooray for early days of software development! 😀

Kbin is sorta like an alternate Lemmy client.

A bad comparison would be like Hotmail vs gmail. Both are email, but slightly different interfaces.

Things I have done with my Pi(s) --

  1. AirplayPi so I can airplay to my non-Apple speakers.
  2. OctoPi so I can interact with my 3D printer via the local network.
  3. Kodi media player
  4. HomeAssistant hub
  5. PiHole network-wide adblocker
  6. I put Tailscale on an older Pi and plugged it in on my parents' network, so I have remote access to help them with their router or whatever.
  7. RetroPi - classic game emulator. Plays just about everything prior to PS2 generation stuff.

And because I drink coffee and I'm a total klutz...

  • Contigo Auto-seal travel mug. These things are practically bomb-proof and prevent spills!
  • a stainless steel double-walled french press. Also bomb-proof and retain heat really well.

ah! that's what I was missing, the patience part of the equation! 🤣

Hell yes. My Brother printer is just a solid workhorse.

I'm pretty sure there's https://lemmy.world/c/sysadmin already. :)

Ever notice that this movie is basically the same story as The Three Amigos?

Ha! Came here to say this. Ya beat me to it.

uh... how do I make a link to another community?

oh! that's a good idea... I guess I just figured it would be awkward to clutter up a single community with multiple languages? maybe that's the whole point though. 🤷

Absolutely this. They're not competing. They're not the same thing. It's like asking when texting will beat gmail.

One is a private for profit enterprise. The other is an open standard with lots of entities using that standard.

Anyone can make a community. Just be aware that when you do, you are the default mod.

I just created !nyto@lemmy.world ... which hopefully someday will be useful/amusing.
