technomad , to nostupidquestions in US regional accents: Saul Goodman and Michael Scott

Yeah, I can understand the relation you’re making there. They both have that upward inflection. Higher pitch. I don’t know if their accents would be considered the same because of these qualities though.

palebluethought , to nostupidquestions in US regional accents: Saul Goodman and Michael Scott

I don’t think of either of them as having any specific regional accent at all. I think they just have somewhat similar voices and mannerisms

MudMan , to android in 10 years of android and I never managed to share files via WiFi direct

To share from where to where? For sharing with your own computer at home I just have a SMB share and I use Cx File Explorer to access it like I would on a PC. For direct phone to phone sharing... I haven't had to do that in ages, so I wouldn't know. I have a number of solutions for cloud file sharing that are platform agnostic, though.

I was specifically asking for what you haven’t done in ages

MudMan ,

Oh, gotcha. Yeah, direct phone-to-phone transfers have been rare and mostly replaced by cloud shares for me. It's just easier to add the file in question to some cloud destination that allows link sharing instead.

sleepybisexual , to piracy in What do ya'll think of camming (filming newly released films)?

Well, its the thought that counts I guess

Berttheduck , to lemmyshitpost in I, too, like books.

To help my American lemmings with pronunciation: Red-ing and Bark-shere.

It’s a very good university too.

dogsoahC OP ,

Anglophones have no right to complain about French pronunciation. What the fuck is this shit?

Berttheduck ,

Tell me about it English is a bastardised language made up of so many different languages rules. Have you heard of Lee and Perrins Worcestershire sauce? It’s pronounced wuster-shere.

Great sauce btw, real umami flavour and great on cheese on toast.

TWeaK ,

My favourite is Wymondham. (Like the blowy kind,) Wind-um.

Also, fuck Worcester sauce.

Excellent for breakfast crumpets.

dogsoahC OP ,

I’ve heard it as “English isn’t a language. It’s three languages under a trench coat, pretending to be a language.”

Viking_Hippie ,

James Acaster’s classic Kettering Town FC bit starts with another example 😁

Skua ,

Half the reason our pronunciation is so weird is that a bunch of French guys took over England

then_three_more ,

It would be so much easier if we had accents over our vowels, like in a lot of languages to indicate which of that vowels sounds was wanted.

oldenglish.info/advpronunciationguide.html

English used to be phonetic, it’s just people started changing the way they pronounced vowels, but the spelling stayed the same. For example, both the k and the gh in “knight” used to be pronounced.

I think you could happily live your life not knowing who he is. I will say that he’s a master at knowing what will make someone click on his videos.

He’s a master at knowing what will make someone click

He effectively dedicated a couple years to “study” this, which is exactly what you can do with your life when you live in Greenville, NC.

Coincidentally also a master at knowing what will make me never click on them (yes it’s the horrifying face he makes)

overload , (edited )

Lots of YT creators edit their face to look strange or unsettling. I’m the same as you, though I think it’s more the gimmicky nature of his content I’m a bit put off by.

On that note, there is this browser extension

dearrow.ajay.app

DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube. The goal is to make titles accurate and reduce sensationalism. No more arrows, ridiculous faces, and no more clickbait.

It’s nice because it will affect all the videos equally. I didn’t want to use it initially because it was messing with my ability to remember which videos I had already seen. I might give it a try again since people keep changing video thumbnails now

kalleboo ,

You also have the opposite here to add MrBeast to every YouTube thumbnail …google.com/…/dbmaeobgdodeimjdjnkipbfhgeldnmeb?hl…

ipacialsection , (edited ) to linux in Linux Gaming PC 2024 (with Coreboot-Support)?
@ipacialsection@startrek.website avatar

I don’t have much PC building experience, but these specs seem sufficient. Only comment is that you might need to use a distro with a new-ish kernel and graphics stack, given the very recent CPU and GPU. So not Debian stable, but Fedora, Ubuntu, or any rolling release distro will be fine.

Jumuta ,

they should start with arch btw

B0g3nNutz3r OP , (edited )

Plot twist, I am using arch. bogen = arch, nutzer = user, btw…

Swedneck , to nostupidquestions in Why does the urge to go to the bathroom increase when we get home?
@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

presumably you instinctively know that you’re in a wholly safe place and there is no excuse not to do it anymore. We’re really not made to suppress elimination for a long time like that, in nature the only reason not to get the business done is because you gotta walk away from camp or because you’re chased by a lion, and neither of those tend to take a long time…

we should really be glad we’re at all able to hold it in as long as we do

conrad82 , to selfhosted in [Request] Automatic backups when PC comes online

I use syncthing to copy important files between pc, phone and proxmox server. Syncthing can be set up with version control so it keeps old versions of files.

Only the proxmox server is properly backed up though. to a proxmox backup server running in a VM on said proxmox server. the encryptred backup files are copied to backblaze using rclone

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but it works for me.

TLDR syncthing for copies between local machines, and proxmox backup server and backblaze for proper backups

NigelFrobisher , to asklemmy in Who the hell is MrBeast?

Honestly, no idea.

I felt like it too as people walked by, saw the terminal, and presumably thought I was doing some unhinged illegal stuff.
