Exactly. It sounds like it's slow.

Lots of good answers here, but I don't see anyone mentioning the minor differences between military time and 24 hour. With military time, they don't use a colon when writing it, and they always verbally say the leading zero. So a time using a 24 hour clock is written 06:00 or 6:00 and said verbally as "six o'clock", but with military time, it is written as 0600 and said verbally as "Oh six hundred hours".

That's it. That's the only difference. Though many Americans do indeed incorrectly call any 24 hour clock "military time". I myself used to say it incorrectly when I was a kid because my parents said it incorrectly.

The ability to open comments/posts in your own instance (and therefore stay in the app) is amazing. How did you do it? Are you rewriting the URL? If so, how are you detecting the base link that you are rewriting from is a lemmy instance?

I do this just so I can be aware of what's going on because it makes less work for me during work hours. It have silent notifications on for that app, so it doesn't interrupt what I'm doing. I pretty much only read the subject line unless it pertains to me personally. It really only takes a few seconds out of my day, but it makes it so I don't need to start earlier and I can review my emails before my scrum starts at 9 AM. I start working at like 8:50 AM to get logged into my VPN and everything, while some of my coworkers start at 8 AM to review all their emails before scrum.

I work with a team in a time zone about 12 hours off of mine, so we are almost never online at the same time. I sent one guy on that team a message at 3AM his time, and he got all annoyed that I was expecting him to work at 3AM, and I was like no dude, just respond when you start working. So now whenever I sent messages to that guy, I always prefix some text about how this isn't urgent and to ignore it until his work hours start.

According to a quick Google search (and how I have always heard it used), neuter is gender-neutral. Castration is the male term, and slaying is the female term. But neuter applies to both.

I get everything out with my finger while in the shower. It goes down the drain, then I wash my hands and I'm done.

Games like No Man's Sky, The Master Chief Collection, and Cyberpunk 2077 are praised nonstop for fixing games well after launch. There's basically no repercussions for a company to do this. I just don't buy games anymore unless I have looked at plenty of reviews that seem to agree that it's up to my standards. And my standards are honestly lower than most people's.

One of the most distinctive features of Apple silicon chips is that they have two types of CPU core, E (Efficiency) cores that are energy efficient but slower than the P (Performance) cores, which normally run much of the code in the apps we use.

Just want to point out that this is far from unique to apple. Lots of Arm processors have this. I think my first phone that had it was the OnePlus 2, which launched in 2015.

I would honestly be surprised if any major smartphone didn't have this.

I noticed the same behavior recently as well. I think search has room to improve a lot. I was expecting it to work like lemmy-ui (default lemmy web interface), but it doesn't.

There's not. I'm really into hockey, for example. We have a "hockey" community, but there's also a community for each team. So 33 communities for hockey alone.

Though as far as I know, there's only one bot that posts scores of hockey games, and it only makes one post a day and posts all of the scores as comments under that daily post. Then it edits those comments to keep them all up to date as the games are played. I wrote that one myself, and I specifically was trying to avoid spamming with tons of posts, as there can be as many as 16 NHL games a day.

I think a sports instance would be great for this reason. Starting with the next major release of Lemmy, anyone would be able to block the whole damn sports instance and be done with it. Though as far as I know, the sports communities are spread throughout different instances, so it won't be that easy.

I learned by reading other Dockerfiles. They're very simple in theory. You start from a base image using the "FROM" command. You copy all your code files using the "COPY" command. Run any environment set up with the "RUN" command. Then execute your program with the "ENTRYPOINT" command. For very basic services, that's enough.

There are definitely some quirks that really you'll only learn by trying it yourself and making mistakes. But I say just do it. If you know all about Linux systems like with file permissions and such, it won't be too bad.

My cat is a shelter cat, but she's as dumb as a post. But I love my little idiot.

I always joke that I "rescued" my cat because I did get her at a shelter. Only paid adoption fees, and they took care of neutering and first round of vaccines/shots. Absolutely amazing shelter, btw. I had a great experience and I can tell they care so much about the animals.

Anyway! The reason this is a joke is because she is gorgeous and she was going to be adopted immediately no matter what, so really there was no "rescuing" needed.

Here are some pictures of her chosing me. She just sat on my lap and would cry if any other cat came near. Eventually she took a nap on my lap.

This is what she looks like as an adult.

What's a computer?

BUM!
