JimSamtanko , to mildlyinfuriating in eBay makes you wait a week to rate a sale as anything other than positive.

People still use eBay?

thallamabond ,

It has 132 million yearly active buyers worldwide and handled $73 billion in transactions in 2023, 48% of which was in the United States.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBay

JimSamtanko ,

I seriously haven’t heard anything from them in a while. Nor does it come up in searchers for things anymore like it used to.

Rolando ,

You’re getting downvoted, but eBay enshittified pretty early, around 2003 iirc.

JimSamtanko ,

And I was genuinely asking. I haven’t seen them like I used to all the time. Thought it quietly vanished.

Focal , to lemmyshitpost in There's rupees in there

Interesting linguistic difference. I would’ve just said “get bombs” instead of “unlocking” them, yet I completely understand

In some games (metroid, etc) it is an ability, not an item. It just made me think of Zelda first for whatever reason

Focal ,

Yep, I get it :)

uis , (edited ) to linuxmemes in Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault.

Meanwhile almost everything I ever wanted is either in main Gentoo repo or in there is overlay with it.

Illecors ,

Honestly, main + guru has not made feel like anything’s missing at all.

uis ,

Main + kdab + steam

Ephera ,

I am inclined to write “Main +” and then just some random words, to see if you guys could tell they’re not repos. 🙃

uis ,

Guru is Project:GURU, kdab is KDAB overlay for hotspot profiler and steam is steam-overlay

Ephera ,

Sure, but through your link, I found the list of projects. In hopes that a project always has a repo associated, here comes the quiz: Can you guess which 2 of these projects I made up? 🙃

Main + Artwork + Astronomy + Biology + Chemistry + Electronics + Geosciences + Mathematics + Physics + Psychology + Science + Retirement + Emacs + GNU Emacs + Spacemacs + XEmacs

I did expect there to be lots of random words, but man, I seriously had to think for a moment to find a field of science that isn’t covered…

uis ,

I seriously had to think for a moment to find a field of science that isn’t covered…

And you choose phsycology… Medicine would be less obvious.

For my second guess I was choosing between retirement and spacemacs. As it turns out, Project:Retirement is a thing.

Also Project:Main doesn’t exist. So you made up 3 projects.

That list I and person I replied to posted was list of overlays.

Ephera ,

Welp. I didn’t want to make it too difficult either, especially with how funky some of the real projects are. Would be cool, though, if more psychology software existed. Surely, there’s a lot you could do with video games / simulations.

Liz , to linuxmemes in Flatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault.

I know nothing about how flatpak works other than that it’s containerized. But this meme tells me it’s the OS’s responsibility to create the flatpak, and not the developer’s? Is that right?

fruitycoder ,

No the most common way is for devs to package their own software as a flatpak since you can typically choose your preferred packaging tool to use inside of the flatpak.

Traditional package management typically is done by the distro maintainers.

Liz ,

Oh I see, I’ve got it backwards.

joshoff , (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in Praise the Lrod!

In my local variant, we write jizz is Christ. Blessed be.

Also acceptable.

Then they should get divorced so they can date and fuck each other as single people. Problem solved

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Believe it or not, my dad had a friend in that situation. They were married, got divorced, stayed monogamous with each other. They just didn’t live together. I guess they didn’t want sex with anyone else but they also didn’t want to live with each other.

Cracks_InTheWalls ,
@Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works avatar

The only thing that’s weird to me about this is, why divorce in that case? There’s no law that says you need to live in the same domicile as your spouse. Could’ve lived separately and kept stuff like shared insurance benefits and whatnot.

It’s rare, granted, but it is a thing. Unless they wanted to separate their financial lives entirely and keep getting down, I guess.

FlyingSquid ,

I’d tell you if I could, but I have no idea and they’re both most likely dead by now, so I doubt I’ll ever know.

PunnyName , to memes in Forget it.

Fuck your Economic Exclusion Zone

Audacious , to pics in Progress: the Katy Freeway in Houston, Texas, spans across 26 lanes making it the worlds widest. The freeway is broken down in to 12 main lanes (six in each direction), eight feeder lanes.

From the picture, I count 16 lanes. Is the pic accurate?

bruh , to memes in Forget it.

Chile moment

unexposedhazard , to lemmyshitpost in Eat it

I think normal guns would be enough so sadly the answer would be normal cops. Boring i know :(

bigkahuna1986 ,

If you’re very unlucky the air force cops would be stopping you

folekaule ,

Even more boring, you do need a license.

marcos ,

In most of the world, no, it would be the balloon police. Even if normal cops could handle it.

Also, the balloon police has much more impressive weapons.

Rivalarrival ,

Balloons will fly with an awful lot of holes in them. Even with a 20’ vent hole in the top, they take awhile to deflate.

You’d have to hit the pilot or the tanks.

hertg , to aboringdystopia in Youtube stopped working for me today when using uBlock Origin in Firefox or Vivaldi with anti-ad enabled.

Unprompted pro tip: I started running ytdl-sub on my server, added the channels I’m interested in, and now I watch youtube on my personal mediaserver and dont even open the youtube page/app anymore. Because I already know this shit is only gonna get more annoying as time moves on, and especially after the silicon valley growth imperative collapses in on itself. Let’s hope we’ll have ytdl working for long enough.

You can even configure it to download videos a few days later, after sponsorblock info has been submitted, then it also cuts that out. And you can set it to only keep the last {n} videos if you just intend to watch recent stuff and not keep an archive. It even works for non-youtube. I added Neo Magazine Royale from ZDF Mediathek, and it just worked (shout out to the germans who know what that is)

Cons: I don’t get yt recommendations Pros: I don’t get yt recommendations

But I still find good new stuff via other feeds, so 🤷‍♂️

capital , to aboringdystopia in Youtube stopped working for me today when using uBlock Origin in Firefox or Vivaldi with anti-ad enabled.

As soon as YT started blocking blockers, I created a new Firefox profile with only Bitwarden (just need that everywhere) and uBlock Origin ONLY. Using that has never failed me once this whole time.

When I forget to access YT through my special profile (and therefore only utilize those two plugins) I do see errors. I assume this is due to either uMatrix, AdNauseum or some combination of the two.

Joe Biden would like a word with you. He says has he has an F-16.

DeVaolleysAdVocate ,

IIRC there were a lot of irregular things about shooting down a balloon with a missile. Like they never showed anyone what was found, and that guy who was filming the search party but suddenly had to stop and all that

CaptainSpaceman , to linuxmemes in Sussy baka spotted

Much rizz

How ohio

Such gyatt
