Does it take a while to get the email after signing up? I tried to create an account. I find the tiktok experience interesting enough to try but was always put off by how intrusive their algorithm seemed.

Edit: just got my email, only about an hour so not bad!

ensuring greater security and privacy for users

Don't worry guys, they're just concerned for the users security and privacy

Hmm interesting, so I guess even though I can see this hours old post, my comment should arrive in several days time. Hopefully I haven't responded to anyone on world with anything important recently.

I feel attacked. I finally emailed my boss to ask for a raise this morning.

My primary use case is safeguarding my important personal artifacts (family photos, digitized paperwork, encryption key / account recovery / 2FA backups) against drive failure (~2TB), followed by my decently sized Plex server (23TB), immich, nextcloud, and various other small things like selfhosted bitwarden, grocy, ollama, and stuff like that.

I run all of my stuff off of a 6 bay Synology (more drives helps with capacity efficiency as double redundancy with 6 drives costs you 30% and I wanted to be protected against drive failures during rebuilding) with an Intel nuc on top to run plex/jellyfin transcoding using quicksync instead of loading the poor nas with cpu transcoding, I also run ollama on the nuc since it has faster cores than the nas.

Ah I have the same one! I got it before I got a countertop machine so it doesn't get much use now that I have the gaggia classic

Either a hand pump with mechanical advantage or a lever-based machine with a long enough bar to make it easy - at least those are the manuals that I'm familiar with

We did it Patrick! We saved bikini bottom slowed inflation!

Personally I'm hoping for a John Oliver + Onion collab with the Infowars studio

It would be funny if a legal defense would have been using an n-sided 3d polygon that definitely isn't a sphere. Is a tetrahedron legally distinct enough? How about a truncated isocohedron? Seems silly for the shape to matter.

Lmao the first thing that came to mind was the "is there anyone else you forgot to ask" meme with apple in between the user and app developer.

The thing is the missing comments are all in English, and they affect entire posts and not just certain commenters so it probably isn't related to the language setting for individual comments, otherwise only certain comments would be missing and not the whole thread. Plus I already have all languages enabled. As a test I also found one commenter from an empty thread and viewed other posts they commented on and both their comment and everyone else's showed up. If it was related to people marking their comments wrong I would expect it to affect their comments on other threads too.

I'm curious if the problematic posts are the same for others, for example this thread with 60+ comments is one that shows empty in sync but with the correct comment count: https://lemmy.ml/post/22091314

And this post too with ~20 comments, also all in English: https://lemmy.ml/post/22089346

I double checked and my account settings on the web UI have all languages selected, and sync even shows the correct count for comments, just doesn't display any of them.

My retirement account has roughly doubled between Dec 2021 and now, I basically only invest in mutual funds and ETFs with a medium risk, low fees, and high return according to Morningstar ratings (I'm not sure how reliable those metrics are but it's what shows up when browsing funds on fidelity and it seems to be picking good options so far)

I also canceled my subscription because it's been months and half of the posts with comments still show no comments forcing me to open every post in Firefox just to read the comments. Seems like too many bugs that leave the app unusable are being ignored.

Not sure about Facebook since authenticating for private videos is a hurdle, but for my partner who uses a mac I downloaded open video downloader which is just a foss GUI for ytdl, it also keeps ytdl up to date which is a requirement for me since I don't want to be called when it stops working. I think on windows you have to manually install msvc2010redist but besides that it seems to just work out of the box.

I used to have a lot of apps back then that would use them as advertisement banners, it was really annoying. I forget when it happened but I've been using Android since honeycomb so I've seen a lot

I'm hoping and assuming that apps would need to ask for permission to use this, lest this turn into every app fighting to push their own dynamic island notification to the top bar, just like how back then every app wanted to have its own persistent notification and also that time when every app provided minor status updates using global toasts that didn't specify which app created it, so you could be doing something in a completely different app and you'd get a completely random and unattributed toast with some vague message like "connection failed" with no way outside of third party apps to figure out which app sent it. /rant

Wait you can train the Futo keyboard? I tried it a while ago and noticed the poor accuracy and decided to shelve it for a while.

Don't wp updates and plugins only come from one of the 2? Anyway I'm pretty sure they're just mad that wpengine uses bandwidth from the wp update infrastructure without paying instead of hosting their own update infrastructure, which basically means that selfhosters / individuals are not the target. That said it still sounds like the dude is being hella petty about it.

I think this whole spat is about wordpress.com not .org
