I did actually find a very similliar bug in the experimental rendering engine of element (the matrix client). So yes, this is something that exists somewhere else too.

Black616Angel ,

The incognito mode start page literally tells you this. I do not know, how this is news.

Black616Angel ,

But connections is so much more fun. Wordle is a solved game unfortunately.

Black616Angel ,

I think he is talking about the /s distro made by sarcasm inc.

Black616Angel ,

Same here, I was getting frustrated thinking, I had to root my phone or smth. and then a simple force close helped.

Black616Angel OP ,

Weird, I had not had this name already. Might rename it to yarcp (yet another remote copy). Thanks for the heads up.

Black616Angel ,

Say you are working for a family member (helping your dad with his company or sth.). A colleague once had to go help his parents with their small company and no one questioned it a bit. No “better pay?” or “man you are moving far away!” just “oh, well good luck”.

Black616Angel ,

You can do that already.

Although I mainly use InvokeAI

Black616Angel ,

… Thanks. This looks super useful.

Edit: After posting I realized.that this sounds super sarcastic, which it wasn’t. This does look useful and I was already looking for smth. like that.

Doesn’t look like it, but you can be the one writing one.

EA just added classics like Dungeon Keeper, SimCity 3000, and Populous on Steam (www.theverge.com)

There hasn’t been a lot of good news out of EA lately, but here’s some: the company just launched a bunch of classic games on Steam. The new (old) releases include nine games in total, spanning franchises like Dungeon Keeper, Populous, and SimCity....

Where is Themen Park™ Manager?

I want to play that again so badly and its not even in GoG (unlike another Theme Park, I didn’t play back then).

Black616Angel ,

Why do people still host their stuff on github if they know its illegal?

Black616Angel ,

How would you play a DRM-free game bought through steam without steam? (Genuine question)

Black616Angel ,

I have cut my lips twice on these fuckers. Also just this week while pouring milk, the cap somehow slipped right under the stream and spilled the milk everywhere.

Who loses their bottlecap?

Also this makes it harder for kids to drink from bottles, since they can’t put their whole mouth around.

I hate these shit stains with a passion.

I am 99% sure, thia was all just a PR stunt by some bottle company. If they really wanted to do something for the environment, they would go for glass bottles again, since they can be recycled forever.

Black616Angel ,

Yes and if you bend them out of the way, some become sharp and I poured a carton of milk. So no, I to not like them.

To each their own except I have no (real) choice.

I remember being in some kind of summer camp with a random assortment of teenagers. Some “therapist” is there to teach us about fears or smth. One of the girls tells him about her irrational fear of spiders.
He’s like:“Let me try something.”
She begins to panic saying “please don’t, I am in therapy and its hard for me.”
He just ignores her, folds his hands, like he holds something. Says “Imagine I am holding a spider in my hands.”
Girl gets panic attack. Can barely breathe and sobs.

He looks completely flabbergasted.

Who could have seen that coming?

Mullvad is the most private a VPN company can get. They literally accept cash by mail.

Mullvad is RAM only for a few months by now, no log since forever and regularly contributes to privacy related topics.

The thing is: you can’t trust a company when they say they are no log or RAM only. But you can trust what info you give them. Mullvad only has my IPs. No info about who I am otherwise. I send them 30€ twice a year and that’s it.

BUT: they don’t allow port forwarding anymore, if you need that, so they are not perfect.

Embryo loss is integral to IVF. Alabama’s ruling equating embryos with children jeopardizes its practice (www.statnews.com)

An embryo is one of the earliest stages of development of a multicellular organism. But according to the Supreme Court of Alabama, it is a person, too — an unborn child, entitled to the same legal protections as any minor....

Black616Angel ,

A frozen embryo is not really “alive”. Anywhere outside of a specific clinic in a specific container it would thaw and be destroyed immediately.

I know, where you are coming from, but counting a frozen embryo as alive is really stretching the meaning of alive.

Now what most people don’t know is that websites can insert arbitrary text when you copy stuff of them. A malicious site will abuse that.

It works like that:

You follow a tutorial online or search for a code snippet. You copy some code/said snippet and paste it into a terminal or the browser command line. This copied text is altered by the site to be a one line command to install malware or grab passwords or cookies. All of that is followed by a line break and maybe your real command to lower suspicion.

Some of the terminal or browser shells interpret a line break in the copied text as enter which then executes the command.

To prevent that, get a shell, that doesn’t just execute what you paste (fish shell) or a terminal program, that warns you about line breaks (Moba xterm).
And please check text from unknown sites before pasting it into a program that may execute it right away. (Just paste it into a text editor or look at your clipboard manager like Win+V in windows)

Black616Angel ,

Well chrome should, yes. But they don’t.
Then some JavaScript framework developers think “well this non-standard feature is neat, let’s use that everywhere” and then companies who use their framework (or a framwork dependent on it) can’t support all browsers.

It’s a multilayered problem (as always) with lots of individually decisions that make sense, but don’t work out in the end (as always).

My PC has a dedicated key to kill all processes.

In germany we had a 10k€ bonus for all buyers of an electric car. After the bonus ended, all the cars suddenly cost 7k-10k less in about 2 months.

Black616Angel ,

Also also it told him to include the API key and used v3 in the URL.

Black616Angel ,

You have neighbors who can afford a car?

What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

Black616Angel ,

source is a bash shell built-in command that executes the content of the file passed as argument, in the current shell.

~/.bash_history contains all the commands you ever executed in bash (the default shell in most Linux systems)

Black616Angel ,

sudo usermod -a cdrom

Forgot the -G and wasn’t sudo anymore…

I did recover eventually, but it was not nice.

Black616Angel ,

That’s why I like fish, which shows matching commands you executed, so that you can easily redo them.

As a software developer who only has business customers, let me tell you the following:
No matter how foolproof your system might seem. It never truly is. There is always some idiot (sometimes with a degree) who just can’t understand/use it.

But they could still try and mostly succeed. They just don’t want to.

Boomers won’t part with their homes, and that’s a problem for young families (www.cnn.com)

Buying a family-sized home with three or more bedrooms used to be manageable for young people with children. But with home prices climbing faster than wages, mortgage rates still close to 23-year highs and a shortage of homes nationwide, many Millennials with kids can’t afford it. And Gen Z adults with kids? Even harder....

Black616Angel ,

You don’t understand. You must be angry at old people, not rich people or companies.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish

  1. Embrace:

They implement ActivityPub and connect to all the available servers. A load of new users will see the content here and all the communities here will be absolutely flooded with new content and users.

  1. Extend:

ActivityPub will be extended. Many new features will be added, that don’t really match the standard, but they are mostly useful so some developers will try to add them to let’s say Lemmy. They won’t be blr to develop new features on their own and some stuff with threads will always be broken or half baked. Threads users will belittle the users here, some will maybe go there, cause it just works and is otherwise the same.
New users at the same time will most likely go directly to threads cause it’s backed by a giant company, always works and has more features.

  1. Extinguish:

They will cut the federation.
Communities here will feel empty and most users will just leave. Only the hard core will stay and that won’t be sustainable. The fediverse becomes even less attractive for new users and will devolve into a niche community.

An AI assistant has nothing to do with the kernel and will never be in it.

It’s something for user space and can be done already. This is for the distro maintainers to decide.

Black616Angel ,

Then it’s over. We can tear it all down and start new.

Should Venezuela invade its oil-rich neighbor? Maduro will put it to a vote Sunday (www.miamiherald.com)

Venezuelans going to the polls Sunday will be asked to answer an unusually provocative question: Should their government be given a blank check to invade neighboring Guyana, and wrest away three-quarters of its oil-rich territory?...

Black616Angel ,

What is your comment supposed to mean?

I can’t speak for the country but those people were awesome!

If they were assholes, would you just bomb their country? Wtf?

Black616Angel ,

Yeah, but renting is not purchasing.

(Yes, I am fun at parties.)

Black616Angel ,

A rental car from Sony?

Are you in the wrong thread? (I mean I responded to you but still…)

Black616Angel ,

The archive link doesn’t work on Firefox mobile?

Someone’s got an alternative?

Black616Angel ,

That did it. Thanks.

Yes, and the farming industry is getting its dick sucked all year long. Each year they get money for their shitty returns because it was unforseen and animal rights get ignored.

A typical pig farm is controlled ever 30 years or so. Germany has like the most fucked up animal rights in the EU and exports their cheap meat (produces by exploited workers from other countries btw.) into the rest of the EU.

It’s a disgusting system really. Fuck those “poor” farmers. Yes. Their life is shitty, but they should just stop exploiting the planet and do something good instead. Maybe or politicians and the industry would then learn something.
