Everything has LEDs now and they drive me nuts

Jump

  • Like the coffee grinder which beeps to let you know that the [rather loud] grinding process has finished!

    • What two things are thought to be completely unrelated but in reality are actually very similar?

    Jump

  • Similar with circle-packing algorithms and origami?

    • If you suddenly had "fuck you" money what would be the first thing you did?

    Jump

  • Like hobbit house or prepper bunker?

    • Looking for a way to give certain trusted users the ability to execute certain admin actions on my server (such as stopping containers, shutting down, rebooting, etc...)

    Jump

  • That seems almost exactly what the sudoers file is meant for.

    If several actions have to happen at once (call the phone first), or need parameters, or need a kill switch, that is what a script with the SETUID bit does.

    • Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

    Jump

  • Fix the input not the algorithm - either disable watch history, or clear it of anyone who you don't trust their viewers to recommend positive channels.

    If you watch something that turns out to worsen your experience, purge it from the view history, undo any likes and remove any comments.

    • security assessment

    Jump

  • Possibly also people coming here with the kind of hateful content that was acceptable on Reddit and getting downvoted & blocked/banned almost immediately

    • what movie/show made you think "WTF did I just watch?"

    Jump

  • And Touching the Void for completeness?

    • Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?

    Jump

  • After choosing, it's just "sign up, install one of the apps and sign in again, start reading or subscribing" - so not a world of difference from someone who has just that e.g. Threads or Reddit or a certain discord is 'their community'?

    • Do you think there will be a future where your phone can automatically detect if you are trying to record police activity and disables your camera? What do you think the odds of this happening is?

    Jump

  • Has anyone done this for the existing traffic light priority sensors? If the signal is "having extremely bright blue flashing lights in a public space" then you can understand why people would be nervous about using that signal.

    • What's a company secret you can share now that you no longer work there?

    Jump

  • When a report came out on car security, one thing which stood out was how any technician of any of the client car manufacturers could just browse through gps data, cameras etc for millions of customers' cars.

    One of the many ways they found out was because one system accidentally gave access to customers as well as techs (pro tip: remember to check group membership when doing LDAP authorisation!)

    • What's a company secret you can share now that you no longer work there?

    Jump

  • Doesn't that make the numeric code their username? There is no 'password' here.

    • If you could witness any historical event firsthand, which one would you choose and why?

    Jump

  • Not sure they wanted to be there just to observe!

    • Does Lemmy protocol have read status?

    Jump

  • Some developers were asking whether it was acceptable to use that API call since it would be a lot of server traffic (especially if scrolling past counts as read, which is an option in connect) - so if apps don't all support this feature yet, that might be the technical discussion they're trying to figure out.

    • Which communities are you currently missing on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • There's definitely someone pasting creepywikipedia links - just scrolled past a load of them in 'new/all'

    • Connect 1.0.71 Released

    Jump

  • Did 'hold to collapse' used to work on the white space to the right of a comment title? It seems to require holding over some text now.

    • The metaverse

    Jump

  • SecondLife still exists, it's economy works fine, and it demonstrates very well that user-generated 3D worlds are awful for graphics framerate optimisation, which happens to be absolutely vital in VR headsets.

    • If you could witness any historical event firsthand, which one would you choose and why?

    Jump

  • There's a film First Man which nicely depicts that era (you'd be seeing it via TV either way)

    • Reddit Gives Final Warning to Subreddits Using NSFW Protest Tactic

    Jump

  • The reddit app is only marked PG and not 18+ in the Google Play store - maybe someone should let them know about the content that's not behind nsfw filters any more?

    • Farmer owes $82,000 in contract dispute over use of a ‘thumbs-up’ emoji, judge says

    Jump

  • Until fairly recently, hand signals was the main way of buying and selling stocks!

    • When a Flight Data Recorder/Cockpit Voice Recorder is found, they are often taken on a plane and flown to an investigation headquarters. But what if the plane carrying those black boxes crash?

    Jump

  • Yes, a piece of hand luggage designed to survive a plane crash will survive a plane crash.
