Oh, they don’t even stand on the stage. All of the Apple Events are pre-recorded now.

It was a relative “nobody”

Nobody on Linux uses Chrome, however, and many disable telemetry. We need to normalize small amounts of statistics. Nobody will be able to trace you based on just uname -srpio.

Duolingo for some reason outputs its sound effects as Media, so they still play if your phone is on silent, and interrupt music. The only way to get rid of them is to turn down your volume entirely.

Wovon sollt’ ich satt sein? Ich sprang nur über Gräbelein, und fand kein einzig Blättelein, mäh, mäh.

So we can now say everybody and their mom uses VLC? (There’s also a lot of unreported downloads from distro package caches and unofficial mirrors)

They can, yes. You’ll need an experienced psychologist to diagnose that, probably. At least it’s not me, too insecure to answer honestly, instead thinking about the “socially correct” answer, because mine would be either too telling or a cringe reference.

This library of things sounds suspiciously like a cooperative…

I have this iFixit guide as my source: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Choosing+the+Right+Screwdriver+Bit/93991#s176809 According to that, the JIS screws have orthogonal inner angles, while the Phillips’ are rounded, resulting in the slipping bits. However, some Phillips screwdrivers fill out that space, and thus won’t fully go into a JIS screw, and effectively be too small, stripping it.

JIS is only good for being cheap, and only works if you’re a precision robot. You lose the autocentering and overtorque protection of Phillips, without gaining any of the advantages of Torx. (Phillips has overtorque protection in the sense that your tool doesn’t break, the screw does; which doesn’t matter if you don’t need to unscrew it.)

Technoblade never dies! Tom Scott came back, so I was right staying.

You don’t die in Elite. You escape in an escape pod and are recovered by the PFRR. Honestly, it’s a good universe (if you can afford the ship). You have infinite insurance without any reputation repercussions and with an absurdly small copay, can go anywhere you want, and can actually earn money instead of living your entire life doing the same monotonous job. Even smuggling, piracy, assault and attempted murder (Odyssey’s “death” message implies life-endangering injuries) is forgiven by a very short time in jail and a fine. Also tuning your craft is allowed and in part encouraged.

Turing Complete’s main character was abducted by aliens, who threaten to kill them if they don’t prove intelligent by learning how to build a computer.

Unlike Google, Lemmy (and Mastodon etc.) are FLOSS, so if one instance enshittifies, we can move, even to different ones, fediblock that instance, and continue on. This is the problem with Bluesky: You cannot (realistically) self-host all the ATProto infrastructure, or federate with anyone while not using some service from Bluesky.

How does Mastodon‘s „Open URL“ work then? It works with the URLs I get from Lemmy, so it does support some other software…

And unlike most „forbidden characters“ for file names, the colon is actually used in NTFS: to separate the file path from the name of a named fork Alternate Data Stream.

How do I do that with the SSD cache? Everyone just talks about it, but I can’t find any documentation…

I have them at home and as such don‘t need to spend money on them.
