How about Mrs Mopp?

Obvious one, but the original Tomb Raider.

There's !britishcomedy@feddit.uk

There are others which are more US-focused.

There is already Fedivision.

Monkey Island main theme, but the one from Tales as it's shorter and doesn't take ages to ramp up.

Libretube is the one I installed!

Ads don't particularly bother me but they do get tiresome when every other post is an ad. I don't use FB though. YouTube ads are getting increasingly irritating - it seems that every two minutes during a video there will be an ad break, but I refuse to pay for a subscription for the small amount I use YouTube. I think there are some alternative interfaces which stop the ads but I keep forgetting to use/try them.

The system seems to be;

• Add adverts
• Make them more intrusive
• Add more adverts
• Make them even more intrusive
• Everybody is fed up with adverts because there are now more adverts than content, so introduce paid version which costs more than the company would earn on ad impressions even for a heavy user, to remove ads
• Next step might be to add some ads to paid version?

Try !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz

There are also location specific instances listed here: https://lemmy.world/post/1434929

Mobilizon is the Fediverse equivalent. https://joinmobilizon.org/

It's not well used though.

Pi Hut have a makers advent calendar. It's a Pico microcontroller and 24 projects. Maybe that's more a leading up to Christmas thing? Not sure how much programming there is, it might be more electronics. https://thepihut.com/products/maker-advent-calendar-includes-raspberry-pi-pico-h

Absolutely agree, that's the stuff of science fiction and hopefully stays in the fiction realm.

The issue is that if a crime is committed then the police will be interested in gathering any video footage they can get their hands on (I've had it at work where I've been asked for CCTV footage from cameras that may have had an outside chance of capturing something important). If a company is sending robots out with cameras on them, and they are recording footage, then that footage is going to be requested (whether the company admits to working with the police or not).

Should there be this many cameras watching our every move? Probably not, but as the cameras are there, they are going to be used, and people should expect to be recorded - especially if they are committing a crime.

Somebody tried to steal a robot and was surprised that video footage from the robot was used as evidence?

Instance blocking is coming in 0.19 apparently.

They won a by-election by opposing the ULEZ expansion, so now he thinks that reversing any policy which might upset car drivers is a general election winning policy.

I've played this back in my head repeatedly, and I still have no idea.

Primary school 4th year (as it was called then). Teacher had some items/words and asked what they had in common (can't remember the exact phrasing), anyway it was things like triangle, tricycle, triceratops. I usually kept quiet even if I knew the answer, but this time nobody spoke up and I was feeling unusually confident. "Tri", I said. The teacher wrote "try" on the board and basically humiliated me. "Anyone else?" I think there was one other answer, and then somebody else said "tri" (or maybe they were clearer and said "they all start with tri"). Anyway, they got congratulated and my protests that that was what I said went completely unheard.

I mean, if you know the answer is "tri", why would you hear and write "try". This incident probably knocked my confidence and made me even more shy of sticking my hand up than I already was.

I find liking posts sometimes get unliked when opening the post itself, or closing the post, or refreshing the screen. Possibly related.
