Nowadays its all about monetization :/

Lemmy is kinda refreshing and reminds me a lot of the early internet/reddit.

2000s internet was simpler times

IR blaster. You could have a universal remote app and control any tv from my palm PDA

Would be hilarious if he walked into a job interview and got grilled about it. "yeah, so it says here you worked on the web? do you have a portfolio? what frameworks did you use?"

Looks ok but I don't think its federated

You're doing it wrong! Nothing better than getting paid to poop!

I assure you european peasants were not eating pizza and cheesecake multiple times a week

"The study did not include people who are street-entrenched or who have serious addictions or mental health issues"

Seems kind of disingenuous to leave out people who are addicted to alcohol or drugs. No, that's not most of them, but yes that is some of them.

The study simple ignores them so how can one make conclusions like "contrary to what people believe" and "the opposite of what people think" without actually considering the subject in question

The internet peaked in 1999

Most are.

I’m appalled by the fact that Google News is promoting garbage AI-generated articles that plagiarize and distort the original work of journalists. This is not only unethical, but also harmful to the quality and credibility of news. Google should have stricter standards and filters for what qualifies as news, and not just rely on algorithms that can be easily manipulated by spammers. I want to read authentic and original stories that are well-researched and verified, not some AI nonsense that is full of errors and nonsense. Google News is supposed to be a trusted source of information, not a platform for spreading misinformation and propaganda.

They took a gamble and tried to play the streaming game - and lost

Did any of y'all Roku owners buy their device for the purpose of their streaming content? I know I didn't - I bought it because of the promise of an excellent UI to organize all of my other already-existing-and-too-many services in an easy streamlined interface even my dad could use.

I'm their prime demographic, currently car shopping to replace my wrecked Benz, and was leaning towards a Model 3 up until reading this headline lol. I guess I could still charge at home or if the network fails it could be purchased by another company?

Or I just avoid stressing about it altogether and get a normal car

It works on lemmy.world as well!

It wasn't just luck, the eclipse itself has a tendency to clear out clouds:

Was similar here in Austin - sky has been hazy/cloudy most of the day including the partial eclipse - and then conveniently cleared up for a few minutes exactly around the time of the totality

There's no ship, but when Bob puts on his glasses he will see the fake ship drawn on them. It's a prank, I guess🤷

Yeah, I'm always cautious showing up within 30 minutes of closing time and always ask if the kitchen is still open or if its not too late to get X (usually try for something easy to make).

If its within 15 minutes of closing time I just consider it closed

I remember walking around Blockbuster and stumbling into what seems to be buddy cop movie starring him and Jay Leno

IMDb: : Collision Course https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097081/

Was never brave enough to watch it

And yet they've turned their back on *Android tablet users and refuse to support the tab bar.

Ridiculous. Only reason I switched to Vivaldi
