  • Yeah, I'd disable that if I could. I'd much rather have no thumbnail than an animated one.

  • Some mowers are designed that way. Mine advertised "no oil changes", but really it means I have to add oil a couple times a year instead of draining it.

  • Chase is copaganda.

  • ...Because you think it is NOT an unpopular opinion? It sure seems unpopular, judging by the comments.

  • Its surprising to me how many people have apparently never heard of TEMPEST.

  • Fuck them for these games. It's an abuse of their market position.

    Does Google offer a phone number for me to contact them about problems with their half-assed products? I've tried lots of times to reach a human being, but never raised a response as a private citizen.

  • That's not what I consider negligible on my phone, which is already resource constrained. Yes, I have a problem with an app that intentionally wastes my valuable resources. I wouldn't care so much from my desktop, but I mostly just use a desktop client to do things I can't easily do on my mobile clients.

    No big deal. It's not as if my participation is especially valuable. I would just participate less.

    edit: my objection is obviously more in principal than it is practical, but it would hardly be the first time I walked away from software (or a network) on philosophical grounds.

  • And use copper pot still with silver solder.

  • Never heard of, eg, Vioxx or thalidomide, I take it?

  • That's a hard NO from me, dawg. If Lemmy goes down that path, I will just not comment. My account settings let me just block bots. I dont need my resources wasted so I can interact with the "good bots".

  • I make my own with a 1:1 mix of potassium chloride and sodium chloride. Throw in a dash of lime (I use a powder so i can premix.) I just add dash to my water when I need electrolytes.

  • Since the requests it uses to fetch communities from the remote instances are unauthenticated, it won't show you any that are marked NSFW.

    Thanks for pointing that out. I had noticed that it was omitting nsfw and meant to ask you at some point.

  • What is it with people who think everything they don't like should be illegal? Have you never read a history book? Authoritarianism is bad mmkay

  • I once decided to actually use the dread command.

    rm -rf /

    I was nuking the OS, so fuck it.

    Forgot to unmount my data first...

  • That's to be expected. It's probably an oldish image. Libgen (and Anna's Archive, et al) have periodically drawn attention from prosecutors, not unlike other so-called "piracy" sites. I wish I had enough storage and upstream to seed their torrents. In particular, Anna's Archive has ebooks of old books I've never been able to find elsewhere, regardless of price. I wish libgen had been around when I was in college.

  • Yeah, that's not especially enormous compared to startups in the valley offering huge equity alongside already generous compensation packages.
