Farting

Farting is an essential day to day activity. It helps maintain a healthy lifestyle and keeps bloating away. There are multiple types of farts, but the most common way to categorize them is by the loudness/stinkyness ratio. Essentially, the louder the fart, the less stinky (fully silent farts are the most nocive for surrounding...

Campaigns Can Now See What You Watch on TV. (www.notus.org)

Televisions that can stream platforms like Hulu or Max usually come loaded with technology that collects information on what viewers are watching, and buyers consent to have their viewing tracked when they open their new TV and click through terms of service agreements. Sometimes, data firms can connect those viewing habits to a...

I’m back into Shattered Pixel Dungeon. It’s whipping my ass.

Damn. Two people having an adult, and respectful disagreement on the internet. I never thought I’d see the day.

Great job both of you.

That was a pretty serious list, I have to say.

I’ve been PC gaming for coming up to 40 years now and I can say it’s always been like this. It’s just what it is. The new games require huge amounts of hardware and that’s okay.

They’re pushing the envelope and you might not be able to play it yet, but one day you’ll be playing it on your phone, or on your toothbrush.

Last time I had my phone plugged in to charge it, I noticed that it wasn’t on charge mode exclusively, but it was actually on File Share Mode.

Now I don’t know if the airplane was able to instigate that connection mode, or why my phone was on that mode, but it did concern me incredibly that they were able to browse the files on my phone, when I just wanted it to charge.

I’m actually impressed. I used to use animation: master back in the day when Jeff was creating the original videos.

To see it moved to a technically challenging (to create) game of this standard, is a HUGE amount of work. Well done. Can wait to play it

I don’t blame anyone for failing to teach imperial. It’s surreal.

I grew up with both (gen x Australian), and when I lived through the transition, metric is a godsend.

Feet. Pound. Stone. All I see are objects. But they are easily objective to the imagination.

There are now only 2 countries left I believe, dragging their heels, and officially using Imperial

I wonder how much “metrics” data is sent home?

I used to hitch hike a LOT, and a lady once asked me that. Just like this cartoon.

I replied “as long as you don’t murder me”

She laughed…

I got in the car…

We drove off.

I haven’t seen her since.

Every time. I believe the 2 cloves thing is really an approximate in the industry.

I had a recipe last week that specifies 11 small cloves. That raised my eyebrow.

So, to keep to form, I put in 12.

No recipe is going to tell me how much garlic I should use!

Americans might know it as the more accurate “tunsend of corn kernels”. Or similar to a “heft of wayfarer”, or a “diggerty of pebbly straw silk”.

You jest. But, as a standing desk worker, something like this looks amazing.

Yes. Looking down at that angle is also a hard no.

They’re certainly working very hard on it consistently.

Agree. Straight back for refund. In Australia we can legally choose the manufacturer, or the retailer. I’d go straight to Asus, to give them the message directly.

I’ve been down that road with Samsung. One mention of our consumer laws, with a link to the contact form where I can report them, and refund issued immediately. Australia has good laws. People just need to flex em.

Equivalent to 14 winter parsnips. If we want to get accurate about it.

Question about

Currently I'm backing up my personal computer on a local server and a remote repository. The easiest solution is to have a cronjob for 2 processes. However, I'm wondering if it is possible to scan the files only once and send the backup updates to both repositories instead of doing two scans... suggestions?

This is exactly what I do also. Been chugging away for some years now without a hitch.

I have a gen 6 x1 carbon which I read is similar. Popos runs a dream on it.

That pretty much exactly matches my timeline of my last purchase. I had no idea they were purchased and they did turn to shit and now I can see why.

I’d say this is the perfect time to start a really regular and dedicated games review site. They have to start somewhere and if you’re trusted and good then you’ll get a following.

That was an incredible read. Terrifying actuality. So obvious once you think about it.

My wife is unwell. I’ve taken her to the doctor’s. I’m sitting here now, on my laptop and working. Because I can and there is stuff I want done. She’s leaning into my shoulder, and I’m typing this. It’s good for her. It’s good for me. I see no issue with that article.

That lady I’m sure could take the day off, but sick kids are pretty low maintenance. So why not get work done? The mother isn’t sick.

I am so sick of these rubbish licensing efforts calling themselves Open Souce. Fair code is a new atrocity.

There is no repository link. There is no open source code.

makingStuffForFun,
@makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml avatar

Thank you.

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell the only actual open source tool, was mermaidjs, but when it loads it says “Code editing not supported on mobile. Please use a desktop browser.”

This is the problem faced. I just can’t seem to find anything that’s on device / local, open source, and Android.

Thank you. I just loaded obsidian, installed Excalidraw. The issue I can see, is the nodes don’t link so you can drag them around. Maybe they can, but the interface is so small I can barely see it. I’ll try on my tablet later and see if I can get it to work. Mermaid does sound good. I like the idea of scripting the nodes. I’ll give that a crack also.

Nothing so far. The suggestions here, whilst appreciated, hat don’t have a good user experience.

Google just killed flutter. Just so you know. They do that a lot. Be careful

Anyone who needs accessibility is screwed as Wayland takes over. Let’s hope we can still choose for another say 40 years. Then, I’ll be done, and Wayland can rule. Pity those who will still need accessibility options though.

makingStuffForFun,
@makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml avatar

This is exactly the problem I meant. Thank you for such a detailed overview of the issue. Most apps won’t provide for it, and as you described why technically, it will mean the end of accessibility as a system whole.

makingStuffForFun,
@makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml avatar

User skullgiver provides an excellent answer as to why. It’s a shame, but it’s a reality that most apps won’t expose themselves properly, and hence accessibility is over in Wayland. Despite their excellent efforts.

I’ve been following it pretty closely, and haven’t seen any progress as yet. There are many github conversations, but nothing seems to have ever come of it.

I assume the challenge would be having the two different storage formats be able to be interchanged?

Here’s a thread that sort of just… finishes nowhere.
