  • KeePassDX (and its associated keyboard, Magikeyboard)

  • I think the new version broke multilingual autocorrect, or at least I don't get any suggestions for my secondary language. That's really the main thing that sold me on the fork originally since other FOSS keyboards suck at this, so I hope it gets fixed soon.

    EDIT: Nevermind, either reinstalling or switching to French as primary and English as the secondary fixed it. Glad I didn't bother opening an issue on GitHub :P

  • I suppose you can use aliases with Termux too?

    Yup!

  • You're mistaken, "je croirais" exists, it's the "conditionnel présent" (conditionnal present).

    Example sentence: "Je te croirais si t'avais des preuves." (Translation: "I would believe you if you had proof").

  • If all else fails, see if you can find their email. Authors are willing to share their work more often than not.

  • Anyone else get confused by the apparent contradiction between the title and the short description?

    Here's a excerpt from the article that accurately describes the AG's (ridiculous) stance:

    [...]according to Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, having a basic phone, or a phone with no data on it, or no phone at all in the year 2024, is evidence of criminal intent.

  • If you want the best of all three worlds, Lemuroid is an emulator based on Libretro, it can emulate a ton of different platforms including Gameboy. It's free & open-source, unlike MyBoy.

  • I assume this is pretty basic for people on Lemmy, where you can't throw a rock without hitting a couple of programmers and Linux nerds, but I always feel so cool using Termux to SSH into my laptop that I use to self-host a couple of things. Makes me feel like a 1337hax0r person.

  • ACTUAL IMPORTANT ADDITION:

    Okay, in saying the following, I recognize that this is going to sound pretty "out there", especially if you're someone who is younger on the internet.

    And I will preface what I am about to say with some credentials: I am an Internet Old. I am also someone who is paid professionally to work in the horror genre from time to time. I am also someone who has studied psychology, as well as studying some NLP-type shit (that I do not find ethical in the slightest, as an aside, and I quickly noped out of)...

    I also want to let you know upfront that what I will tell you is NOT to make you worry or feel afraid. I am sharing this info only so that you can "see through the curtain" as it were, and recognize media and stories like this for what it actually is.

    The tl;dr is - please be very criticial of any online horror story that does not provide a sense of catharsis or release at the end, or at the very least a sense of closure or ending. Or anything that is about someone giving up control.

    Why? Because creepypasta stories like this may seem merely surreal and/or hilarious to you, but shit like this is actually subliminally priming you to be more easily manipulated and controlled.

    And a lot of these types of stories are absolutely aimed at teens and pre-teens, or college kids, fyi. There is also a really good video by Ann Reardon about of stories being told over brightly coloured baking videos. Mostly though, these stories are about and aimed at WOMEN.

    Basically, this story is linking a fear response (a sewer man! - that sounds bad and weird at first) with a violent action - or a taking away of rights/possessions (the coffee that gets poured in the sewer) that comes from someone with power (the soldier) who is "solving a problem" (thinking rationally - how would coffee dumped in the sewer fucking help anyone?!?!) where the victim (the woman) is shown how the solider is "right" to do what he did.

    The subliminal lesson here is that the solider does what he wants to do, because "he knows better" than the civilian girl. This story basically ends on the action of "the soldier did the right thing" and there is no real catharsis or sense of ending. You know, the kind of message that implies "be scared, rely on those in power". The idea that we should just comply.

    And, as a thought exercise: the story would be so, so much different if it were a sweet little old lady that took the coffee. The initial scare/weirdness factor could still be there, but it wouldn't have that same 'heaviness' feeling to it, you know?

    Please just think smartly about media, okay?

  • Sounds like a bit of a chicken & egg scenario to me.

  • They're talking about these ones, if I remember correctly from seeing some "hack coke machine!" YouTube video 15 years ago

  • I'm a big fan of homemade waffles that have been left out to cool to room temp.

  • Anyone who thinks spending 44 billion dollars on shutting up a teenager constitutes a "genius plan" is already fully on-board the Musk cult. I don't think there's really much reinforcement happening.

    I agree we shouldn't pretend he's anything less than a dumb asshole who got caught with his pants down.

  • I really don't understand why people always specify foreign investment. What difference does it make to me as a tenant if my slumlord has their Canadian citizenship or not?

    Housing shouldn't be an investment at all, regardless of the would-be investors' nationality.

  • I agree that numbers can be tough for our easily-deceived little monkey brains, but you could also just pick up two bags of chips at once and feel which is heavier. I bet even literal monkeys could figure it out.

    The fact that multi-national corporations are trying this hard to trick us is all the more reason to take the time to figure out what is and isn't a good deal.

  • I sincerely don't understand how any of this is an issue for anyone.

    They print the weight of the chips on the bags! You don't need to blindly guess based on bag size and apparent chip-to-air ratios!

  • I mean, they are out of touch, but don't believe for a second that they don't know what they're doing.

    For example, why would a politican regulate the housing market and bolster tenants' rights when they and a bunch of their buddies are making bank?

  • Personally I feel like if you have to ask, I'd lean towards caution and not sending it. I mean, best case she gets a chuckle out of it, worse case it kinda creeps her out.

    If you're unambiguously an ally and she has seen proof of/knows this, most trans people I know would be fine with it. I'm not sure the risk/reward is worth it though (and tbh I'd say the same for sending memes to any coworkers one's not on more familiar terms with)
