Hey, that's the combination on my luggage!

It was more like this.

There's a lot of "X1 Carbon 6th" listed here.

Think about it this way: in the unlikely event that your parking brake fails while you're parked, which direction is gravity going to make the car roll? Park in the gear that opposes that roll. So if you're facing up an incline, park in first gear. If you're facing down, park in reverse. If you're on an absolutely flat surface, park in whichever you want.

By the way, this isn't just a good idea for hills, but for uneven driveways or parking lots.

And the rest of the body.

Reality Bites.

From 1913 Webster's, to show how "far" we've come:

Pun"dit (?), n. [Hind. pandit, Skr. pandita a learned man.] A learned man; a teacher; esp., a Brahman versed in the Sanskrit language, and in the science, laws, and religion of the Hindoos; in Cashmere, any clerk or native official. [Written also pandit.] [India]

I think you're supposed to tell us.

I think that's what it is, except my use of the term "block" was mostly wrong. This seems to accept them but keep them isolated, defeating their effectiveness as a way to track users across sites.

That's great, but what's the update? The Lemmy cross-posts from two years ago have the same title.

update: I read the post and the last paragraph talks about the full blocking of third-party cookies as a thing that's "starting in 2024" (future tense). So my best guess is it's that, but whatever the August 28th update was could have cleared all this up.

You could probably chain some smaller HDMI switches together. Not sure what the practical limit would be or when lag would get noticable, though.

Now, if you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then okay. But some people choose to play four-player Smash Bros. and we encourage that, okay? You do want to play four-player Smash, don't you?

Anita Bryant. Anita Baker is innocent and awesome!

I think we're focusing on different aspects. My comment was limited to the way main menus worked — "Play feature" or whatever would just about always be the pre-selected option. I was replying to this:

Those old DVD menus that wanted me to mess with extras sucked.

99% of DVD menus would have the "Play movie" pre-selected, letting you activate it with a single press of the Play or Select button.

Possibly my light/dark mode scripts. They change my Plasma theme, which is honestly most of the job, but also set the matching GTK theme, set the new theme in running Konsole sessions, do a bunch of manual sed edits on conf files for applications that don't follow system theming, finally restarting plasmashell to clean up the occasional edge case where a tray icon is supposed to follow the theme but doesn't.

FreshTomato still supports these devices.

The post was about being asked to disable background blurring specifically.
