I’m going to guess they can tell by the price labels which look characteristic

FrankTheHealer ,

The picture has Centra brand products. Centra is a chain of Irish convenience stores with a bunch of own brand products.

Also OP mentions being Irish on their profile

busydoinnothin , to retrogaming in California Games: A port comparison

Played this on c64 and nes and absolutely loved it! I think surfing was my favorite event but really any event was my fav at any given moment. Played it recently on my nes emulator and it’s still as fun.

Num10ck ,

you might want to check out Surfy on ios, which is inspired by the surfing event in california games.

also does anyone remember the c64 game T&C Surf Designs? from the Town and Country surf label…

busydoinnothin ,

I’ll have to check it out, and I definitely remember t&c, played that on nes as well! The cover is so vivid, with the gorilla surfing wearing shades, ha!

triktrek , to startrek in Is the next episode a comedy? S204 "Charades"

It most certainly will be a comedy, and I am up for it. It’s ironic how the episodes with emotionless Vulcans are so god-damn funny. The last episode with the body swap was a masterclass in writing. Passive aggressiveness has never been this fun.

Real tl;dw - he gives up completely because despite being in the right, CNN could bankrupt him in legal fees. Yay capitalism!

This is extremely interesting. So many products that I’ve never heard of and many of them were actually around for 6-12 years before being axed or coming up on death soon. A lot of these I had heard of and even used occasionally over the years and I didn’t realize were gone now.

Nyanix ,
@Nyanix@lemmy.ca avatar

It’s amazing how many cool projects they’ve funded the creation of, but never really advertised, and subsequently killed

Why the F would they kill Google Domains. Don’t they own a freaking cloud? How is having a registrar not essential when you own a cloud?

Damn, that page is so interesting. Thanks for the rabbit hole.

Holy shit, Google has ADHD.

DarkIrata ,
@DarkIrata@lemmy.gwa.app avatar

They actually sold Google Domains, still wild. No problem! :D

aidan , (edited )

Google Domains

Wait… This is a bit of a problem- all my domains are on Google Domains. Are there any other registrars with $12/yr domains that I can migrate to?

Edit: considering cloudflare

IDatedSuccubi ,

Any of them if you register for just one year lol

I used namecheap because they had .com for I think 11$ on sale, and I bought two domains for my stuff

But they sure ask a lot for cool names

aidan ,

I already have the domains I just want to transfer them away from squarespace

kogasa ,
@kogasa@programming.dev avatar

Your contract should be moved over to Cloudflare automatically and they have committed to honoring existing prices for now.

aidan ,

I thought it was sold to squarespace?

At this point I’m just waiting for them to axe YouTube out of the blue and with maybe 2 days warning. If Google announces a project nowadays I just assume they’ll kill it off at some point.

kogasa ,
@kogasa@programming.dev avatar

Selling it to Cloudflare. Dunno why, presumably not profitable enough.

That is, indeed, the link that I posted 🙃

Wow, so many products I didn’t realize were dead. I remember when they were pushing Duo.

YoungPrinceAmmon ,

Some of them weren’t really killed, just renamed. Duo for example is now Meet

Killed over 1 year ago, Cameos on Google allowed celebrities and other public figures to record video responses to the most common questions asked about them which would be shown to users in Google Search results. It was over 3 years old.

Imagine googling “does Bruno Mars is gay?” and Bruno Mars himself shows up to tell you if he is or doesn’t

lemmyshmemmy ,

“Hi! Bruno Mars here to finally answer your question. Does I am gay?”

ultimate_question ,

Damn I’ve never even heard of that but I wish I had, it seems like it’d be fun to fuck around and see how many recorded responses you can find lol

Viking_Hippie ,

Dammit, Cameo is dead?

I honestly loved the concept and would probably have been a customer if I could afford it.

Contrary to your description, it was mostly celebrities doing custom greetings for fans, sometimes as themselves, sometimes in character and usually bought for people as a surprise gift.

Amongst others, there was Jim Rash wishing a Community fan a happy birthday in character as Dean Pelton and dozens if not hundreds of short to medium length videos of Dave Mustaine from Megadeth recording super wholesome and sincere messages for specific fans.

Can you honestly tell me that doesn’t sound great?

Black_Gulaman ,
@Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I thought it was a made up product I seen on a movie, I can’t remember what movie it was, though.

Viking_Hippie ,

Jurassic Park?

Black_Gulaman ,
@Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

i think it was about this d list personality or a washed up actor who needs to top up and do his cameos to increase his net worth, and his manager reminding him to do the cameos.

I dont even know if what i remember is existing or just a figment of my imagination. Lol. Just goes to show how fucked up our memories have become due to our online activties.

jonkenator ,

You’re talking about a non-Google product called Cameo.

Cameo = not-Google. Celebrities record videos per fan/follower request.

Google Cameo = Celebrities record short videos as responses to Google searches about themselves.

Similar, but different.

Viking_Hippie ,

Ah ok, that’s a relief! Thanks for clarifying 🙂

kogasa ,
@kogasa@programming.dev avatar

I think Cameo is different from “Cameos on Google.”

How is that ghetto lol. Now, I’d understand if you were like me with a crusty ass laptop in the corner of my room 2500km away from me, running some Linux and 4 external hard drives, but Xeon and ghetto?

ug01x , to mildlyinteresting in An Artist in Lyon Known as “the Pavement Surgeon” Repairs the City’s Sidewalks using Colorful Mosaics

This is cool, but also makes me feeling like we poured asphalt over a masterpiece.

Acester47 ,

Like we built on-top of an ancient civilization

ug01x ,

Exactly! Makes me think of things I have heard and read about historical sites getting worn down by visitors or people finding artifacts while digging in their garden.

rockSlayer ,

I mean we paved over cities to make room for cars, so not wrong

We didn’t really though. Even the Romans built roads, we’ve always needed a way to move food and goods.

It’s the current Russian invasion of Ukraine, but name-swapped to the US and Mexico to emphasize how badly the invasion has gone for Russia.

Newname_olduser , to fediverse in 10 days after 3rd party reddit app shutdown, Lemmy's top 10 instances combine for a thriving userbase of 234,000

Yay! My first post! Still figuring things out such as logging in, communities, etc. A bit different from the old world, but the browser is very Apollo-like - God bless everyone for this! MOAR!!! More people, more posts, more POWER muahahahahahaha! Go Lemmy! Go Fediverse! …sorry, I’m not adding anything other than cheers here.

deadsenator ,

Right along with you figuring things out. It’s far more fun exploring here than feeding R any more data. Sooo much less toxic here than there. Yes, it has some growth ahead of it, but it’ll be a hoot!

pendingdeletion ,

Are you using wefwef? That’s the Apollo-like experience…

DrSteveBrule ,

I believe the name has now changed to Voyager, which might make it easier to search for.
