All I can say is that it's still at least leather. Most things (e.x., belts) will say "manmade leather" or "manmade materials" and they are fake and break. The genuine leather belt I have has been working for 4 years without snapping.

Also I highly recommend avoiding man leather.

Just search dumb/bar/feature phone on Amazon, you'll find lots of it. If you want 4G connectivity, add 4G keywords. That's it.

Asking for recommendations usually means hoping your peers will have personal experience, which beats just searching for phones and reading the reviews that may or may not have ill intent.

WhoRoger , to nostupidquestions in Why are so many YouTube videos portrait rather than landscape now?
@WhoRoger@lemmy.world avatar

I wouldn’t even mind vertical videos that much, but the real fucking cancer are vertical videos with baked-in black borders for 16:9 ratio, so you can’t view them comfortably on anything and the resolution is like 1/4 of the original.

Bonus if those borders are also filled with ads or other annoying bullshit.

danielton ,
@danielton@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know why creators even do that with the black borders… you can’t even watch those on a phone. Annoys the crap out of me.

I don't know completely what you mean. I'm on kbin, so currently for me it shows a blue link "image" but it doesn't seem to do anything when I click it. Wonder if it looks different on lemmy

Only change the imageURL part

I have to type escapes for the first 2 elements to be able to display them visually, so if you see them because of differences in markup you know why.

This is a screenshot of the official documentation hosted externally:

This is with escapes to display what I used above:

Mintyytea ,

maybe kbin is too young to be able to do what you're describing? I'll put a screenshot of what I can see (desktop for kbin.social)

Lol. I’m on Graphene OS so all the imgur trackers are blocked and I can’t see anything from them.

FYI this website has the simple functionality imgur used to have before they started all the trackerware nonsense:

This is the documentation link that has all the syntax for posting pics in comments and more:

BigTrout75 , to youshouldknow in YSK: The term "Genuine Leather", it is not to reassure you that their product is made of leather, rather its the name of the lowest grade of leather a company can use.

Can somebody explain why leather is better? It’s it the smell? The feel? Tradition? I see it in car reviews where they complain about cloth.

Ronno ,
@Ronno@kbin.social avatar

@BigTrout75 many people are sensitive to dust. A car with a leather interior is easier to clean. The dust cannot stick in the seats.

okiloki ,

Let’s be honest here. The amount of people this applies to is miniscule.

kcdaguy ,

It is something people think they want because it is more expensive and in higher trim levels in cars. But when your car is parked in the hot sun the leather feels like it burns and in the winter is freezing to the touch. Leather also doesn’t breath so you end up sweating more and if your are not wearing long pants your leg will stick to the seat. Cloth is so much better functionally. Cloth also lasts longer than the fake leather they put in cars. Cloth won’t peel like the fake leather.

Convert your friends over to Signal. Let Snapchat harvest somebody else’s personal data.

MargotRobbie ,
@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world avatar

Signal also did something that angered its userbase by removing SMS support, so now it’s harder than ever to try to convert people to Signal.

bumbly ,

Can't you just use your normal SMS app?

Do you understand the reasoning for the removal?

Rakn , to nostupidquestions in We're growing quite fast! Let's discuss our future and what you'd like us to do. [META]

I’m not on lemmy.world, but I’d just like to say that im always sad when I see communities using Discord for communication. It’s the exact opposite of lemmy. And if one considers the current Reddit measures as harsh, they are pretty soft compared to Discords stance on such matters. Information that goes in there is basically lost. So go the entire way with Matrix.

Helpful to know! Thanks!

PopYaCork , to selfhosted in What are your offsite backup solutions

I won’t go into my solution here, but the only tip I’ll give you is don’t use cloud based storage. Restoring is slow if we’re talking terrabytes, it’s expensive compared to buying a disk and your data is never truly safe.

Buy another drive, backup to it and have it on a rotation schedule. I keep my “offsite” backup in the boot of my car. If I’m not at home I’m usually away with my car.

Pivot_Wizard ,

Storing a hard disk in a car or any other moving vehicle is highly not recommended. The vibration will kill your drive. There are stories of companies moving drives on trolleys across their carpark to find the data has been lost.

iKill101 , to selfhosted in Question about self hosted Pixelfed instance
@iKill101@lemmy.bleh.au avatar

I just set up Pixelfed myself. I’ve got it running on a 1GB Linode. Would definitely recommend at least 2GB RAM, because mine is using swap like there’s no tomorrow.

Processor wise, one core seems to be OK. My load averages are 0.11-ish.

@TheGreenGolem@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I really want to know that for another app for a different permission.

It would be good if we can “trick” an app to think it has a permission and stop bothering us.

In one of those 70s Fat Albert episodes, I think it was Rudy who one day showed up wearing a jacket of "genuine imitation leather". That term has stuck with me for decades.

s_s , to youshouldknow in YSK: Installing a bidet attachment to your toilet is super easy and probably cleaner than using toilet paper.

Imagine you get your hands covered in sticky filth. Do you wash them at a sink or just wipe them off with some paper and call it good?

Why do any different for your ass?

tamtt ,

Because your ass does literally nothing else all day, but your hands touch things like food etc. I’d say it was more like getting shit on your leg. Do you wipe it off or just wait until you next have a shower?

That said I love the idea of bidets, I’m just terrified it’ll get my underwear and clothes wet while being cold and unpleasant.

crilen ,

" I'm just terrified it'll get my underwear and clothes wet while being cold and unpleasant." I've never had this issue.

Wash them with soap and water and scrub them then dry them with a towel.
