Googling so many “how do I do X?” type of questions have top-results of 10-minute videos where someone has their cluttered Desktop in full 1920x1080 and then they open the tiny command prompt in a small window (it’s clear they have no idea how to record a video), where they clumsily type commands they clearly don’t understand, and fumble through the entire process.

I just needed a single command. It should have been a 1-second result at the top of search, not shitty videos or SEO dynamically-generated shit site that are trying to sell me something.

I never knew that pirating kids was such a problem.

joke’s on you. i can’t read

You say that like it’s a negative thing.

Some people actually want to know things and are curious about where they came from, what they’re made of, who their family is.

Submitting your DNA can increase your knowledge. It sounds like you can’t believe people would seek knowledge.

The old Pfizer doses would shut me down for 3 days.

Fever, chills, body aches, fatigue.

The first shot wasn’t so bad. The second and third were insane.

I’m pretty sure I’ve had a fourth shot, but I don’t remember how I felt. I think I got covid last year, after already having the third shot, and I’ve been dealing with symptoms for over a year now (mostly muscle fatigue).

I want the new shot with the new variant mix, but I’m also afraid of how I’m going to react to it. I have too much going on at work and home right now to take half a week off for the shot.

I have a pretty crummy immune system and have always dealt with autoimmune issues, so it’s important that I get the shot, even if I react badly to it. :/

I’m still waiting for the spooky stuff I’ve been hearing about for years.

I’m being tracked. My information sold and exchanged. Big, evil corporations trading my data with other companies like it was baseball cards. All my inner-most desires leaked!

All to get an ad for a “litter box robot” or whatever when I’m browsing memes.

Lucky guy can be back out in just 18 months and immediately begin causing irreparable harm to life on the planet again.

Part of the problem is the instance’s open registrations which do not require you to enter an e-mail address during signup.

How is this even a thing? Why would the Lemmy software even allow operation like this?

I’m on Lemmy.world.

Piracy talk is a big no-no, but I do get to see the continuous creation of never-ending pornographic hentai & furry shit or whatever. The drawings look like sexualized cartoons made for children and the furry stuff just looks like people drawing out their sick sexual fantasies of animals. Totally normal for the communities that are into that stuff. Don’t kink shame!

My blocked community list is several pages long now. I really hate that I have to fucking VISIT a community before I can click something to block it. I wish I could tap-and-hold on a post and be able to block the community it was posted in or block their whole fucking disgusting server.

But I can’t.

Because that’s the beauty of Lemmy and federation.

I’m guessing lemm.ee admins take a stronger stance against sick shit.

Edit: a lot of the posts I see are from communities on the “yiffit.net” server. I have no idea how to block the entire thing. I’ll block one community from there and then posts from another will show up.

Edit2: just saw a “kurumi_nsfw” post that looked like a drawing of a naked little girl and an “animefeet” post a little below where I saw this thread, so it’s definitely showing up for people.

I thought about that after making my post.

Just like there are shitloads of bad SD cards (no-name, unbranded, generic, etc.), it’s just as cheap and easy for any random company to produce their own SSD and get it in circulation on the market just like legitimate SSDs.

Any SSD that could be damaged by a swap file is not an SSD you should have anywhere near your system in the first place (even if you never plan on putting a swap file on it).

My thought on this:

If it was bad, wouldn’t we know by now?

SSD-only systems have been a thing for over a decade, and SSDs themselves have been around for decades.

If standard swap files damage SSDs, someone probably would have said something.

Special forces landed on the western shore of Crimea, near the settlements of Olenivka and Mayak, in a joint operation with the country’s Navy, according to Ukrainian Defense Intelligence.

I hope Russia doesn’t read CNN.

Well, you see, first amendment and all that.

Trump just happened to be recorded while saying out loud some random thoughts he happened to have at that particular moment.

He wasn’t telling anyone to do anything, and his words were not targeted to anyone in particular.

Just because he happened to be on the phone with someone is completely coincidental and totally unrelated.

So, any attempt to charge Trump with a crime would mean that you are ONLY criminalizing THOUGHTS and SPEECH.

Checkmate.

This is basically the explanation Trump used in regards to the recent threat he made on Truth Social about going after anyone that goes after him.

I was surprised when I heard the company that makes scissors at my kid’s school had made the jump to automobiles. Then I realized that Fisker and Fiskars are different.

I need a super-interactive gallery view that also unblurs all the posts.

For science.

Holy shit, it’s real!

I wish we could give awards on Lemmy.

But Apollo for Lemmy could be more $$$ for him!

Maybe not as much as he got with reddit, but a lot of people would happily pay for it again.

If I had spent the past decade building something, I wouldn’t want to just throw it all away.

Voyager as an actual app will instantly make it Apollo Lite for me. I am familiar with the look and its feature sets.

The “web app” thing and all its bugs and annoyances have been pushing me elsewhere. I’ll be happy to get rid of that.

1. this is awesome news!

2. this is also a big message to Apple that their web app system is apparently broken. The whole “shit stops working” pausing/hitching that has been an open bug for YEARS is a real bad look.

3. As good as this app is, it is kinda sad that an Apollo “copy” seems to be ready to go before the actual Apollo app (which may never come to Lemmy).

This is unfortunately an accurate description of that movie.

Think of something like Airplane! or Ghostbusters. There are so many memorable and/or silly parts and lines that people remember well and will repeat over and over. But of course, each also has a real movie to go along with it.

All the clips and lines and other zany parts of Kung Pow can be hilarious, but the movie itself is pretty bad.
