  • I looked through the Giant Instruction Manual of Lemmy for this and I couldn't see any recommendations about titles but I'll change it for you if I can.

    1. Programming big multi-media rigs with eight-hole paper tape and a thumb punch. #FourYorkshiremen
  • One of the problems I have with search engines when looking for tech solutions is that the results are incredibly out of date. I don't bother any more and just go straight to the product's own support forum. Where possible I add the forum's own search entry to Firefox's search box. At least I no longer get answers to a problem no one has had since 2018.

  • The earliest known burgers I have read about were made and sold as roadside snacks in the Roman empire.

  • Exactly. If they want honesty in labelling then images of happy cows in fields on dairy products should be replaced by pictures of young calves being pulled from their mothers so they don't consume the milk.

  • Have you ever been confused by coconut milk? Do you think that hamburgers come from Hamburg? Are sweetbreads made from wheat and sugar?

  • The whole Bellendcat thing sounded a bit sus to me when I first came across them being lionised in the UK press. One plonker sitting in his bedroom outdoing the might of the Five Eyes? Mmm, sure.

  • Pot/kettle.

    ‘CIA sidekick’ gives £2.6m to UK media groups

    NED money has gone to UK investigative groups Bellingcat, Finance Uncovered and openDemocracy, as well as media freedom and training organisations Index on Censorship, Article 19, the Media Legal Defence Initiative, and the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

  • It was Mozilla for me back in 2000. I gradually replaced all the proprietary apps I was using on Windows with FLOSS alternatives and then finally made the mover to Linux around 2010. The only closed stuff I use now is an iPhone and I despise it.

  • I don't know what the authors are complaining about. All the AI is doing is trawling through a lexicon of words and rearranging them into an order that will sell books. It's exactly what authors do. This is about money.

  • Oh, it's not that simple. I could call, email or any number of other methods. It's just that I'd rather not communicate with a right wing, paranoid, fear-spreading, racist nut job. I just need to know they're still breathing. This individual is spewing bile every single day,

  • Good news. I use it once a week to check if a relative is still alive.

  • I have to agree. wefwef is original and easy to search for. Voyager is going to get lost in a sea of voyagers (pun intended). Matrix/Element had the same problem every time they changed names and chose generic words.

    I'd have gone for Wiff Waff, the original name of Ping Pong:

  • It'll all end in tiers.

  • United Kingdom @feddit.uk

    What were your first cars/jazz mags?

  • As others have said, it still works and works really well.

    https://teddit.net/

    Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Teddit.

  • I have only ever read about 20 subs on Reddit and I've never had an account there. I use Teddit to read them for stuff that hasn't made it to Lemmy yet.

  • Truth.

    Jump
  • In Australia it's ute (pickup) drivers. If it's a faded mustard colour it's an ancient farmer driving 30 km/h below the speed limit in a no-overtaking area. If it's bright red it's the farmer's grandchild driving at 30 km/h above the speed limit as he* overtakes you in a no-overtaking area.

    *It's always a he.
