To the same place everyone you know goes to when you aren’t thinking about them.

You know the “vibes” of different models - when to use

Would that be a vibe-rater?

…and this is the reason I added this to my root .bashrc:
export PS1="\h:\$(realpath .)\$ " no more following symlinks on a remote mount and forgetting about it.

The problem with this is that they would have to be suspicious in the first place to ask for it. If they are already suspicious then the scam will likely fail anyway, they tend to only really work when the assumption of who they are exists and they get that by raising stress levels by claiming some kind of emergency.

I use Quassel, it’s been a few years since any major updates but it still works great. I like that it has a server+client model that functions like a bouncer so you can move between machines without reconnecting to networks. It also allows all the configuration from the client’s GUI so you don’t have to remember commands to change anything.

I think any software the government funds the creation and maintenance of should be open source, but not all software government workers use should have to be. Lots of niche applications out there that wouldn’t be worth the cost to rewrite or retrain a handful of users.

When a drug company in the 80s scaled up production they accidentally created seed crystals that spread around the entire Earth’s atmosphere that prevented other companies from manufacturing a generic drug without it attaching to the seeds and converting to the patented drug.

um, isn’t it easier to just:
sudo apt install yt-dlp
yt-dlp -U

I was too young when I first saw this too. (I was in my 20s)

I don’t think Lemmy is too confusing to use but I do think it’s poorly explained. Most people new to a server are only looking at two things:

1. Overall content on the front page and how effective its filtering is.
2. A topic specific community they are interested in.

But when they begin see the content can be vastly different from server to server and the topics they care about can be split into many communities on different servers they aren’t sure how to access what they want and lose interest.

Yeah it’s not a bad film at all really, but even just within the horror/scifi genre it can’t compete with higher budget films for popularity.

The Cube.
Most people saw it as an average horror movie where a bunch of people try to get out of a giant torture box. But there was a pivotal scene that stuck with me where one of the prisoners realizes he helped build part of it. The whole thing wasn’t some intentional torture device but just a bunch of people doing their day jobs that were lost in a bureaucracy not ever questioning what their work was creating.
A stark reflection of society and the systems we create and the dangers of not ever looking at the bigger picture.

Of course they proceeded to shit all over this idea in Cube2 where it ended up being just another evil government experiment.

They (probably) aren’t trying to be rude, they are just happy to have an answer they can give quickly and appear helpful. They are oblivious to existing conversations or the communication processing talents of others.

Pathetic but cute. Aw, isn’t that baby 3 legged frog just shlarmle.

If it’s just a matter of pulse selecting the wrong device I also had that issue and was able to work around it by adding a line to the end of my: /etc/pulse/default.pa
set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_0e_00.3 output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo
You can get the correct name for your device with: pacmd list-sinks

They frequently do! Like when they report on catastrophic flooding by finding a stopped up drain and standing in it ankle deep and shouting about how awful it is as cars drive by behind them on the slightly wet roads.

There has been some recent investment in trying to make plant based rubber in the US again:

Would I rather live in a world where sometimes people take advantage of kindness or a world where nobody helps anyone in need? I’ll take the former.

Putting bombs in widely distributed electronics makes you a terrorist as does launching rockets at civilians. Whatever their goals it is their actions that define them.
