Freeze those knees my chickadees.

I’ve never understood the ghouls who tell me I’ll get “more conservative” as I get older. It baffles the mind how I’d go from believing everyone has a right to healthcare to “actually, fuck you, I’m good”.

Definitely preferable to get a bit fatter instead.

It’s what the other commenter said. Generally if you’re a good customer they refund you no questions asked.

I actually had a food delivery guy drop off my food but steal a package from my porch. Even with the footage, you should have seen how fast they clammed up.

So food theft, no problem. Other theft “get a subpoena”.

The name tungsten hexafluoride is one that most people have never heard of.

But it has a less romantic nickname——"Chip blood"

Less romantic, but definitely more awesome.

No. I don’t think I will.

“If you have ever petted a shark in an aquarium touch tank,” said Erin Dillon, who began this study as an intern at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) and is now wrapping up her doctoral work at the University of California, Santa Barbara, “denticles are the reason why shark skin is rough like sandpaper if you rub it in one direction yet smooth in the other direction. Sharks are essentially covered by millions of tiny teeth.”

Useful or not, I found this very cool. Thanks for sharing.

This is me. Always Windows for my gaming computer and when I built a new one recently, I went full Linux. No regrets so far.

If you’re curious how but don’t want to read, I skimmed and it seems like overzealous privacy/permission warnings are at the heart of their complaints. I’d agree, it’s annoying but I prefer it to the alternative.

Creative cloud wanted to run at login, and in the old days, it would just make that happen. Now it implores YOU to turn on the setting because it cannot. That’s a win in my book.

I kind of feel like Reddit is the biggest bar in the world and having a conversation there feels like it. If you aren’t loud and early, you can’t really participate in a meaningful way. The smaller crowd of Lemmy is a sweet spot for me. Enough people that it’s not dead, but small enough that I can still participate in conversations.

Newsweek reached out to the White House by email to comment on this story outside of normal business hours.

“So uhhh, got any comment on the dick sucking thing?”

Stop using Google. You can’t change them, you have to leave.

Can we take a second and appreciate the person who got these messages and took them to the media? Putting myself in their shoes, I’d be scared shitless and you can easily see how it might make you a target. Good on you random citizen, I appreciate you.

A Russian citizen living in America who supported Ukraine by donating money to them was warned by her partner that going back wouldn’t be safe. She said “nah, it’ll be fine” and was arrested shortly after in Russia.

This is very sad, but you didn’t know they’d be mad about that?

IMO it’s not a good idea to be discussing attack vectors publicly when a number of other instances are unpatched and the exploit has been in the wild for less than a day.

I agree that admins need to work together, but discussing it in public on Lemmy so soon after the attack isn’t the way. There exists a Matrix channel for admins, that’s where this type of thing should go.

We goof on this person, but in my experience this kind of shameless begging usually works to some degree.

I've heard you can apparently buy a house with 10 silver coins, the original deed, 2 witnesses present and 2 secretaries present is this true?

Yes, this is true. Provided the seller is a dumb dumb who will accept 10 silver coins (~$400 USD) for a house while 4 of their friends watch in awe.

100% some adult in that house used that exact phrase, probably multiple times.

This is what they mean by test driven development.

I think the big difference is that they seem to be optimizing for customer satisfaction where others are not.

My favorite example I use often is how the Steam Deck comes with a case. It’s free and there’s not even an option to not get it. They know you need one, they include it. The Switch doesn’t come with a case. They know you need one but they don’t care. You’ll buy one if you want it bad enough and that’s more revenue.

It’s just a different type of optimization.
