It works too well

  • Is that from Ghostbusters 2?

  • She's after a bookworm?

  • This might be a bit annoying. On my Realme phone, no amount of setting changes stops it from killing Messenger randomly. It didn't kill Lite so I could trust it, and put up with it despite its issues.

  • Nfc antennas get in the way.

  • Found today that our goats like to eat the peel.

  • Demonstrating how useful it would be to have a Threadiverse client which merged posts transparently based on URLs. Otherwise I just go to the post with the most comments.

  • Yes and it's fun getting Windows Live Mail 2012 to keep working at the best of times.

    Every year or so, have to add these registry entries to revive it

    [HKEYCURRENTUSERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows Live Mail]
    "RecreateFolderIndex"=dword:00000001
    "RecreateStreamIndex"=dword:00000001
    "RecreateUIDLIndex"=dword:00000001

    They'd prefer Outlook Express.

  • I don't care about that. What's worse for me is that the Dyson ones are so damn loud. It's a pain having to hold one arm over your head in the stall to cover both ears.

  • I see a tyre and I want it painted black...

  • Oh the Hilarity.

  • It has at least one advantage relative to ie6.exe - it's cross platform.

  • Yes it's a buggy thing but it works mostly.

    I ran into the unusual situation this week where I couldn't put a new article into a kbin magazine (community / subreddit) from my kbin account, but could get it to stick if I did it via Lemmy.

  • I'm seeing equal parts shitter and exiter.

  • If I was a fur suit maker, I'd be integrating positive ventilation or liquid cooling.

  • I know you jest, but it's not beyond the realm of possibility for some peer to peer system to exist, similar to bittorrent, which could distribute the load across viewers. Most people have half decent internet these days. This imaginary extension could recognise the YouTube video URL, check it's DHT to see if anyone else has it, and if not it could capture the YouTube video and redistribute it to the next person who looked up the same URL. Stale videos could be deleted after a time.

  • And then the AI script retaliates by identifying and switching to matching videos on PeerTube, whilst also learning your viewing habits. A premium version offers a subscription which pays third world workers to complete the captcha on your behalf.

    Then Google users WEI to kill the extension.

    Then someone releases a VPS which runs Chrome and supplies the whole thing by Remote Desktop, with a client side app that integrates the behaviour...

    (just thinking of how it could go.)

  • Up next: An AI-enabled Web Browser extension which

    • mutes the YouTube ads and overlays it with cute cat videos
    • clicks the "skip" button for you
  • To me it was disingenuous to claim it was 70°C when it only "felt like" 70°C.
