Man. That last paragraph hits hard. This dude hold nothing back, and I'm loving it.
str 86;
str itmTo86;
86='get rid of';
info(strFmt('%1 %2',86,itmTo86));
(This won't actually work, since you can't assign ints as variables, but whatever. It was fun)
I have never heard of either 86 nor this speakeasy. What a cool thing to learn! Thanks for sharing this historic nugget!
Edit, autocorrect on grammar
This is a very interesting use of this tech, as a countermeasure to the corpos' use of it. I appreciate the share!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing!
Ah, you meant phone of the time. I thought you meant phones throughout time. Like, today's Pixel 9 compared to the N95. That sort of thing.
Yeah, you're right. Back then, it was all marketing and storefront locks. That's it.
And the flagship iphone of today is lower specs than its direct android competitor. But, then again, that's how apple seems to operate: lowest possible specs, highest possible marketing, beautiful (debatable, I know) UI... and locked storefront.
I thought I read that somewhere, many years before this study "just" discovered it. Shoot, I've been using that knowledge as a coping mechanism for at least a decade lol
It's also better specs that some software and security processes require, but yeah, it's mostly marketing and it sucks.
No lol I just channeled my inner 90s hahahaa
I almost got the N95 back in the day, bit it didn't work with my provider. This project is hella wicked
And this tax needs to increase 25% every 6 months until it's no longer empty.
Fight Club style. If you're able to keep yourself from assimilating or being discovered, it could work.
I agree completely with your comment. Including the rage at the end lol
I mean... the government already has all your information. If you distrust them with your information, you have an odd problem to overcome. The corpos, however, shouldn't have all this data on you.
For every rental, there is at least one landlord. In and of itself, this isn't a bad thing. Some people don't want to own homes, and would rather rent. There should be that option. Option. Not the only possibility. There are not enough ownable homes, because too many are owned by investment firms that keep them deliberately empty to drive up prices. Real estate investing should be heavily regulated, and, yes, this includes over landlords.
To fit more units, and make more money.
A new proposal to address the housing crisis would convert empty office space in many American cities to deeply affordable apartments for rent.

Here are a couple Moomin Valley mugs I received as gifts a couple years ago.
I can't describe the deep calm, reverence, these mugs, and this show in general, invoke.
Has NewPipe v0.27.0 stopped working for anyone else? It won't play anymore. It loads the video page and comments, but throws an error when attempting to play or download the video. I've submitted an error report, but was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.
Edit: thank you, everyone! I figured it was google being a giant turd again, but want sure, since it worked perfectly fine for me yesterday, and I didn't see anything pop up on Lemmy yet. I understand the logistical and costing nightmare of this, but we really need a FOSS decentralized video sharing platform to take hold and take off. Let google and other bigturdtech die where they made their beds.
Update: newpipe 0.27.1 was just released, which fixes this deliberately google-caused issue. As I understand, some other frontends implemented their own fixes, too. These teams are amazing!
There are no arrows, no obvious pins, no pin latches. This band is different than all of the ones I've ever sized. Does anyone know how to remove links from this band?
Edit: user Septimaeus was correct in that it was a fixed link band. The link they provided helped in understanding what is requires to resize, and the band now fits my wrist like it was made for it. Thanks!!
Do InvisibleFence brand controller units work with non-InvisibleFence brand collars?
I have an InvisibleFence brand controller unit, and would like to get a collar for it. The InvisibleFence brand stuff requires their techs come out to your house and do whatever it is that they do (at a significantly higher cost). If the controller unit works (tested and verified), will other brand collars work with it?
Edit: Some of the other brands do work with the InvisibleFence brand underground system, as long as the collar is also designed for the same type of system (the collar should be called something like 'receiver collar'). The issue I'm running into, though, is that I don't like the shock collars, in general. While not as restrictive or cruel as an 8m tether, according to the vets I've spoken to, I still find it needlessly cruel. So, I'm working with the landlord to allow me to install an above ground fence with a dig protection system. It's going to be very expensive, but I'm hoping I can just increase the monthly payments some to make up for it. I've signed a long-term agreement anyway, so I'm here for a while.
Are there any automatic or semiautomatic tools that will rip a set of DVDs from a tv show, and label the resulting vids (like Show name - s##e## or similar)?
I want to digitize entire series (of DVDs I own) for an in-home streaming server, and it's super annoying to name each file individually.
Happy International Coffee Day, everyone!
Happy International Coffee Day, everyone!
The impulsivity is bad, wasted so much money and time. The hyperfocus, when on the wrong task, has cost me hours in that day. The poor planning / time management has landed me in a world of hurt more times than I care to admit. The low tolerance for distractions / hot temper has caused me to hurt those whom I love most in this world. The inability to properly direct my focus on a task has caused me to lose sight of, and therefore miss, deadlines.
That's all bad.
But the worst part for me? The part that doctors don't seem to even attempt to address (except for direct symptom management, which barely work)? Emotional mirroring. If you're depressed and I'm with you, guess what happens to me? Today sucked. Depression is an unrelenting bitch, and I hate her with every fiber of my being.
Yesterday, I was reading this post on an open source solution to detecting and deleting CSAM material on Lemmy. I was reading the post, then my browser crashed mid-read. I've been looking for it ever since, and can't find it. Can anyone link it?
Black tea is strong, as are fruity notes (blackberry, maybe?). The acidity of the kiwi is there somewhat, but mostly, I taste its sweetness. I'm not sure I taste the lemongrass at all, but that's not saying much, as it could just be masked by the other notes. Overall, this is a very nice roast.
OC for you.
Half asleep, I added coffee to the espresso grinder. Never has it been more clear, that grind size matters.
I was watching friends, and this scene came on. Instantly made me think of GNU plus Linux.
Just found this sub, and I see it's not active anymore :(
Let's change that!
My OG content for your viewing pleasure
I have these wire shelves that are held together with these plastic caps. I'm reconfiguring the layout and ran out of caps. It's been a decade+/- since we got these, and I can't remember the name. Does anyone know where I can get more of these caps? Or, at least, what these caps and/or shelves are called, so I can go hunting for them?
I roasted a Sidamo G1 to right after first crack. I pulled one shot today, and it's amazing!
