Also it is hilariously difficult to decline a call on Google dialer.

It’s as simple as swiping down on the screen. I agree it’s a little under-sensitive if you try to swipe down from the circle with the icon at the bottom. But you can swipe down from anywhere on the screen and it will decline the call.

That’s why American conservative patriots love eagles so much

It goes much deeper than just coffee shops and other public wifi. There are people in oppressive countries that have to use VPNs to get around their country-wide bans of certain sites, such as anything that provides access to information. Reddit used to be a sanction for tons of information sharing. But now, with Reddit going public, they have to appeal to their shareholders, who probably have business or other deals in those oppressive countries. So, even if Reddit is simply trying to force users to be trackable, it still behooves the shareholders to make information and knowledge more difficult to access to certain people.

Nobody said anything about Resolve being bad. The topic of this conversation and community is Open Source, so a closed source suggestion was not relevant.

Yep, advertiser don’t care how they got those clicks. They just want the numbers to go up so they feel like their “investment” is doing something. Tricking people into thinking it’s user content, showing half naked girls for a dumb mobile gambling game, showing fake products… they don’t care. Advertisers only have one thought: “Hurr Durr Numbers Go Brr”

Every day the same thing ad nausea. Fascism bad. Sexism bad. Phobia bad. Musk bad. Orange man bad. Inflation bad. Boomers bad. Cats good. Name my rescue dog. Celebrity good. Celebrity dead.

That’s not just Reddit. That’s the entire Internet right now. Reddit or Lemmy, X or Mastodon, Facebook or anything else on the Fediverse. It’s all the same. We are living in a time of mass fear because of several different reasons. War, climate, economy, personal rights… pick whatever topic you want. There’s a reason to be angry about it.

We need to go back to the days of happy people sharing their passions, rather than angry people attacking each other. But that won’t happen anytime soon.

Wake up Neo. Follow the white rabbit

Basically every emulator developer will say that their platform is not for piracy but for backing up your legally purchased games, but it’s usually just a “wink wink nudge nudge” type of thing for legal reasons.

I’m also thinking this is the case, especially since the kid’s hat still has a tag on it. I imagine that would be a gift shop purchase.

In this economy??

Fabricated poverty and homelessness, medical and educational debts, corporate greed and consumerism, accumulating environmental issues that nobody with the ability to make change is willing to pursue, non-stop wars, political turmoil…

I don’t know. I think the dead have it better.

Sounds like you had a corrupt installation.

Flatpaks can also be used to run CLI programs, but it requires using flatpak run <package.name> instead of using the apps standard CLI command. But you can create an alias and should work mostly the same way.

For example, I have neovim on my Debian laptop via flatpak. So in order to run it, you have to do

flatpak run io.neovim.nvim

You can create an alias for that command

alias nvim='flatpak run io.neovim.nvim'

And then you can use the nvim command as normal

Don’t use GoDaddy though. I was searching for a domain on that site and after a few minutes it was taken.

There are reasons to avoid GoDaddy, but what you experienced isn’t really a GoDaddy-specific problem. If a domain gets registered on one provider, it will be unavailable on all providers. Unless you are accusing them of falsely saying they were taken but are available for purchase at a premium. I don’t think I’ve heard of them doing that, but who knows what kind of greedy tactics corporations will try these days.

These little ejector tools are useful for more than just SIM cards. CD/DVD ROM drives have force eject buttons inside tiny little holes that these can reach and push. Many hardware reset buttons are also hidden inside tiny holes.

You could use an unfolded paperclip in a pinch. One of my air purifiers has a reset button inside a hole that is slightly too thin for the paper lips I have on hand. But the SIM ejector tool I keep around fits perfectly.

For Karl Frodo!

Nobody needs a smartwatch. The question really is: “Will a smartwatch benefit me?” I can’t speak to everyone’s use case, but for me it’s been really useful for my cycling. I have an LTE smartwatch, so it’s nice that I can leave my phone in the car or at home and still track my cycling (with GPS and heart rate monitoring). Less bulk for me to carry around, and I’m protecting my significantly more expensive phone from potential falls or crashes.

This is great for my regular exercise cycling because I don’t really need my phone camera or anything with me while doing my regular routes. Just the ability to make and receive a call if I need to and track my cycling performance. And since the watch can also pair with my Bluetooth headphones, I can download a couple podcast episodes and keep myself entertained. Again, all without my more expensive, bulkier phone.

Just like any consumer device, not everybody needs it. You find the right devices that make your routines more convenient.

Apologies. It’s hard to determine sarcasm these days lol

I would rather have a smaller, more serious community that allowed for meaningful conversations if it meant we could keep all the meaningless, distracting drama away. I don’t want a 1:1 Reddit replacement. I want something that was better than Reddit.

This is something that I consistently see that people still haven’t gotten used to with Lemmy and other federated sites. People often complain about what they see on their feed or sometimes attack an OP for reposting. I assume people just aren’t thinking about it since we’re all still used to Reddit and using a centralized platform where everyone can see the same stuff. But with Lemmy, it seems that people forget that their feed will be completely different, based on which instance they are in.
