  • I agree, but I don't think images should be relied on as the primary communicator. I have seen far too many forums/websites/docs with broken images because the host went down. That and archivers are more likely to fail at saving images. Explain it using text and give a reference image to further display the point.

  • Can't speak for ripcord, but the part I am unclear on is why Texas specifically is relevant. Is the supreme court based in Texas? I am not American.

  • No one I have met in Canada has ever asked to message over telegram or whatsapp.

  • For sure, let me just make an account, install the app, find and add them- wait, he drove over with a USB? Jokes aside, thanks for the recommendation, but it's not any simpler than the 2011 solutions if you haven't set it up already.

  • You don't have to... if the project you want to use has a good setup process. Otherwise you'll be scouring Docker docs, GitHub issues, and StackOverflow for years.

  • I've found them to be pretty clear usually. Half-formed words at start/end I just ignore. Either way, even on Firefox with uBlock and all the rest, audio captchas have always passed me first try even if I think I got it wrong. I don't like posting about it in-case they tighten it up after it gets more users.

  • Sad that this XKCD from 2011 is still just as accurate today...

  • Logically speaking, I would sit with the wolf pack. Airline seatbelts are not made for wolves and I fully believe they would not be held by such paltry restraints. This leads me to the conclusion that my demise is not only certain, but an inevitability. With this in mind I would much rather be the first victim, for my death will be quicker while they are hungrier, and I shall save myself the mental trauma of seeing them devour the poor linux user before I reach my untimely end.

  • They're called Lego pieces or just "Lego", not "Legos". It is the official way to say it, but more importantly I got used to it while growing up. I would always say "Lego ___", for instance Lego sets, Lego bricks, Lego pieces: "Pass me the Lego brick." The only time I would say "Lego" is as a group: "Bring the Lego upstairs." Everytime I hear "Legos" my eye twitches because it sounds so wrong. Not sure where I picked this up but I will die on this hill.

  • I propose we replace the word entirely to something easier to spell and pronounce, such as "Feby".

  • Ah okay, thanks for the insight!

  • From what I've heard the Snapdragon chips aren't that impressive though?

  • I wish we had better video upload choices. I tried Streamable but they delete your videos after a few months and most of the other alternatives (Vimeo etc) are paid. I tried Peertube and my video sat in mod limbo. So I guess it's YouTube or nothing for me?

  • I've used it extensively to recover old CSS themes, images, and read long dead websites. There are a couple of lost songs I found downloads for there too! I've also saved a couple of pages that I haven't had to use but it would be useful neutral third party evidence. Is it daily? No, but it's an absolute blessing to have.

  • Still pisses me off, this was one of the reasons I updated and they half-assed the implemenation then said they're killing it because no one is using it... no shit no one is using it, you hid it it behind the Amazon App (that no one uses) in the MS Store (that no one uses) and layers of docs for sideloading.

  • There was a short period a few years ago after the Quantum update that I would have partially agreed, because Firefox's renderer was much smoother. But Chrome seems to have caught up, because it's been much faster every time I test something in it in the yesrs since.

  • Which is invisible to users, meaning they can ignore it or handwave it with "I haven't got anything to hide".
