I love the radiator woman from the radiator planet attending Fry’s funeral.

slampisko , to youshouldknow in YSK How to bypass paywalls on news articles

Here’s another alternative, I save the article into Pocket and that usually works.

Or Wallabag, an open source alternative for those hearing about Pocket for the first time.

sombrero , to gaming in PC Games to play in local co-op?

I was a bit confused when you said local co-op. It implies 2 computers on the same local network(connected to the same router, no internet connection required). I think the term you’re looking for is split screen gaming.

When I looked at pictures of Spelunky games like Clonk and Liero popped into mind, I think there are options for split screen multiplayer in those games, they’re old school PvP games.

My friends call that LAN play or LAN co-op. To me, local co-op has always been a more general phrase, covering all of the above.

sphere_au , to technology in Lemmy needs two things to be successful

I think these are “nice to have” features rather than absolutely essential, but:

For 1. I could deal with just being able to download my list of subscriptions and upload it to another server. That’s the only bit that’s really slow to copy over by hand.

For 2. I think the main thing that really would benefit is the ability to search all active communities on all servers. The way it is now is alright if there are only half a dozen really active instances whose communities I might be interested in, but it doesn’t scale if there are hundreds of servers to check out. Probably the more important of the two IMHO in the long run.

Being able to download your own data would be a start

Kerfuffle , to youshouldknow in YSK: Installing a bidet attachment to your toilet is super easy and probably cleaner than using toilet paper.
@Kerfuffle@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

40$ attachment and no more swamp ass. Say goodbye to foul balls. And no more tainted taint.

kakes ,

Honestly, I thought I was pretty clean before getting a bidet, but since getting one I can never go back without feeling gross. It’s weird what we can get used to, when that’s just how you’ve done things your whole life.

I’ll never understand how people live without a bidet.

Anonymous0573 ,

I like to use toilet paper to get the bulk of it, then use wet wipes after.

cocolopez ,
@cocolopez@lemmy.world avatar

How dare you! Jajajaja. I guess everyone can do it as pleased

Anonymous0573 ,

Lol at least I made progress. I was taught to just use toilet paper when I was a kid. Now if I have to do that, I feel so dirty

cocolopez ,
@cocolopez@lemmy.world avatar

I feel quite the opposite. Hear me, if you stick your finger in penut butter and just clean it with paper, you can still taste it if you suck it. But of you wash it with water your truly clean. But didn’t want to sound like I was criticizing. Cheers

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.

betterdeadthanreddit , to android in any way to make Snapchat think it has camera permission?

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

MargotRobbie ,

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.

Can't you just use your normal SMS app?

Do you understand the reasoning for the removal?

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.

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:

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:

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.

kima09 , to android in Dumb, cheap phone for kid?

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.

mikestevens ,
@mikestevens@lemmy.world avatar

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.

c4 , 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.
@c4@kbin.social avatar

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.

Deceptichum ,
@Deceptichum@kbin.social avatar

Also I highly recommend avoiding man leather.
