I'm here!

  • What happened to the main Piracy community

    Jump

  • They’re trying to avoid law enforcement and lawyers at their doors.

    Even if you prevail, either can be a very expensive and/or destructive process.

    Make no mistake, Reddit’s recent refusal to provide details surrounding users that were discussing piracy is highly unlikely to happen in the fediverse. Admins are going to get hit with a subpoena and comply because they can’t afford not to.

  • Why do washing machines prevent opening the hatch just after the washing cycle ends?

    Jump

  • It’s not a component aware system. The last phase is generally the spin cycle. The controller knows to trigger the spin cycle, it knows to stop the spin cycle after a period of time. What it doesn’t know is whether those things actually happened. Particularly, it doesn’t know that the drum has actually stopped spinning. So, it just wait a predetermined amount of time before unlocking the door.

    In the case of my own device the door actuator uses a wax motor. Put simply, current is changed to heat which melts the wax, pushing a pin the locks the door. To open the door, current is removed, the wax cools, hardens and shrinks and the pin slides back. Now the door can open. So, even if I remove power during a cycle the door will eventually unlock as the wax cools.

  • I want to hear from people who have two ActivityPub instances running in Docker containers, on the same Docker network, and have them federating with each other.

    Jump

  • Are you using a VPS or self-hosting?

  • What do you want to hear?

  • This post knows where you're viewing it from (Lemmy doesn't proxy external images) [ARCHIVED]

    Jump

  • None (by Lemmy), as Lemmy doesn't actually request the image (that would be proxying). Your browser requests the image directly by URL. Lemmy, technically, doesn't even know an image exists. It just provides the HTML and lets your browser do the work.

  • Thanks youtube.

  • Take a bow.

  • For me it was $24 for a new oven igniter. That was three weeks ago and it hasn’t worn off, yet.

  • [Serious] How can a person "rejection-proof" their life?

    Jump

  • I pointed out that Google can be an echo chamber and have made no other comment, assertion or allusion.

    Your response was, let’s say, verbose.

  • [Serious] How can a person "rejection-proof" their life?

    Jump

  • You’re so wrapped up you don’t even realizing that you’re speaking to a completely different person.

  • [Serious] How can a person "rejection-proof" their life?

    Jump

  • You can search anything on Google and find that it’s a very real and frightening problem. It’s the worlds largest bias-confirming echo chamber of that’s how you choose to use it.

  • What are some downsides of software being federated?

    Jump

  • Theoretically, yes. Practically, maybe not so much as a ton of these smaller instances are consolidated on a just a handful of hosting providers.

  • A Gen Xer's Thoughts on Strange New Worlds

    Jump

  • Battlestar Galactica, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits; just to name a few successful TV reboots (and some, accompanying films) of the same name.

    The original Star Trek and SNW have more in common, quality and continuity than any two seasons of ST:Discovery.

    It's worthy of the name, in my opinion.

  • Eye glasses wearers in the US, where do you buy your glasses from these days?

    Jump

  • Been using Zenni for years. Hell of a lot cheaper than any brick and mortar and I’ve never had any issues.

  • A Gen Xer's Thoughts on Strange New Worlds

    Jump

  • Biggest issue I have with this edition is the Strange New Worlds tag.

    Should be just... Star Trek.

    A true descendant of the show I grew up with.

  • Best chromium browser?

    Jump

  • While ARC is interesting it is available for neither Android or Windows, which was OPs requirements.

  • The drive doesn’t have a say. The permissions surrounding the TrustedInstaller account have a say. The account existed on your first Windows install and also on your new one hence the permissions and associated restrictions persevere. This is expected behavior.

  • Nearly 30 years of LINUX experience. I can definitely say on a regular basis that LINUX doesn’t do exactly what I want.

  • Subscription models for an app that’s not hosting anything is just the dev wanting a constant revenue stream, no matter how they try to word it.

    Jump

  • It's no win scenario for developers. While you're ok with "one up front payment and then maybe in app purchases to pay for new features going forward" there's a whole other slew of voices who are going to complain about being nickled and dimed.

    Given those choices (and other factors), as a consumer I prefer the subscription model. If nothing else, it lets me forecast my expenditure and continually re-assess the cost/value proposition of the application in question.
