  • Since portals aren't real, maybe we can start from what we see in game: Chell can hold it for long periods of time without problem, so that puts an upper weight barrier on it. Aperture must've figured out a way to fit portal technology into it, or found a way to stash its mass away. Or maybe it's heavier than average, but Chell is drugged to be able to hold it.

    There's no power cord in-game, so its energy source must be self-contained, because I don't think it can get enough power by absorbing things in the air.

  • wow! this sounds cool and I'm definitely interested, but I don't know anything except basic physics and programming. and also I may not be that active because school is trying to murder me. can I still join?

    if you're struggling with extending hyperdashes!

    I found an assist-esque setting to make extending hypers and supers easier! There's an 'extended variant' to turn off the dash regain cooldown, so that you don't have to wait on the ground for a bit before pressing jump. This means that all unextended hypers and supers become extended (i.e. you regain your dash after the technique).

    You have to download the Extended Variants mod. Then, in Mod Settings, go to Extended Variants > movement > disable dash cooldown, and toggle it to ON.

    Having instant extended tech will probably mess up your muscle memory for extended hypers or supers, so use it with care!


    On a separate note, you can also try wavedashing.

    A good practice map for extended hypers is 'Starry Ruins' from the Strawberry Jam mod, you can find it in the Advanced lobby. It's a short map but the last two rooms require doing extended hypers in a row, on small, falling platforms.

    methods to send self destructing emails

    Hey Lemmy!

    Exactly as the title says, where self-destructing means that no matter what email provider I, or my recipients use, the email will be gone after a set amount of time.

    The methods I have come up with are:

    • using a PrivateBin or PasteBin link.
      • requires the recipient to click on a link that opens in another app/tab
      • easy to set up
    • using an HTML remote content stylesheet with CSS ::after to inject the body text of the email; then, if I control the server, I can delete the stylesheet and the email will be gone.
      • embedded in the email, but plain text only. I'm not even sure if it can do line breaks.
    • loading an SVG from a remote source

    Does anyone have more methods?

    do you use the telescope?

    In what ways do y'all use the telescope when playing through a map?

    Me; I tend to skip it and go straight into platforming. If I encounter a segment that I can't get past, I'll use the telescope to view and think about it.

    Can I remove a scar by cutting it open and then healing it?

    If I have a very thin piece of scar tissue on my skin, and then I surgically cut the skin open right along the middle of the scar, and ensure that I do all the best scar healing practises (like holding the skin on either side of the wound together), what will happen? Will the scar get smaller or bigger?

    a solution for fastboot not listing an Android device

    Hey Lemmy!

    This is a solution for fastboot not listing an Android device.

    ::: spoiler problem description

    problem description

    While my phone was in fastboot mode, I couldn't connect to it using the Linux fastboot command.

    • fastboot devices showed nothing:
       undefined
            
        me@computer:~$ fastboot devices
        me@computer:~$ 
        
      
        
    • lsusb listed my phone if it was in normal system mode. If I was in fastboot, lsusb does not list my phone.
    • adb worked fine—but only if I ran it as root. If I started it as a normal user, it showed this error:
       undefined
            
        me@computer:~$ adb devices

    I made this a few years ago from the game assets. Thought you folks might like it.

  • not sure about standard, but privacyguides.org has some nice resources for getting started. I recommend their "threat model" resource in particular; it shows you what direction you should work towards depending on your privacy goals.

    remove an app's "doesn't run without Google play services" pop up

    Hey Lemmy!

    I have an app that keeps showing a pop up that it "doesn't run without Google play services". It in fact runs just fine, except for the pop up, which is extremely annoying. What are my options for removing it? And, how do apps know that I don't have Google play services?

    edit for clarity:

    The "pop up" is an in app widget-like thing, not an Android notification. It looks like this:

    looking for a script to delete messages older than X days

    Hey Lemmy!

    Exactly as the title says.

    I'm a user, not a server admin, so this is about deleting messages I've sent rather than cleaning old messages on a server. Ideally I'm looking for a script which I can run on a timer once a day, and each time it runs, it will delete all my messages, or my messages in some specified rooms, that are older than say two weeks. Basically an automated finger that presses the delete button repeatedly.

    I know about m.room.retention but I don't want to have to set it for every room. And it doesn't seem to be reliable; it doesn't work in a matrix.org test room I set up with one minute retention. Even when I cleared the cache.

    The closest I've found is this branch, but as this issue mentioned, it purges all messages rather than only messages older than X time.

    If no one has a better script, I'll write one myself or fork the above
