Absolutely fantastic! More emotional impact than many entire movies I’ve seen!

I keep hearing positive things about the latest gnome mobile (and the distros that use it). I haven’t actually turned on my Librem 5 in a while, but I’m looking forward to flashing postmarket OS and PureOS and seeing whats new.

I love this song so much more than I did when it first came out. For me, it was just too popular to enjoy at the time, but now I really like it.

One time, right after this song came out, I needed to get something from a store at the mall. This song was playing on the radio in my car. I changed the station…and this song was on that station, too. I changed it again and it was on the the third station as well. Then I got out of the car and it was also playing over the speakers at the mall.

This just made me so happy. And that is the catchiest song they’ve done in years. :D

Yeah, literally all of mine these days are trying to go to /wp_admin.php and /phpmyadmin.

Side note: this made me think, “I wonder how the phpMyAdmin project is doing these days,” and wow, all of their corporate sponsors are online vape shops and places to buy fake social media followers. (https://www.phpmyadmin.net) What the heck is going on there? I know that funding open source projects is almost impossible, so I understand taking whatever money you can get. But it looks pretty bad when phpMyAdmin is a huge target for bots trying to steal your database, and then the entire project seems to be sponsored by companies that need emails and passwords to create fake social media activity.

Wow, that looks fantastic! I like the light/dark pattern, almost like piano keys.

Also, I didn’t immediately see which community this post was from, and for a second or two I thought it was a little piece of cake from one of the foodie comms. It does look delicious…

Thank you! I’ve been ignoring that error, assuming that it was just about indentation.

Also I appreciate your use of the word “thusly” immediately after the word “tho.”

This looks fantastic! And makes great use of a limited color palette, too.

I’d also try asking on !simrallyracing@lemmy.world. Not the most active community, but still a fair number of subscribers who might have experience with this.

I never pay attention to new album releases, but this was the first album that I actually looked forward to the release of. I listened to it all the way through in one sitting as soon as I could, which was also something that I never did at the time. It’s still one of my favorites.

Agreed, I wouldn’t recommend Librewolf for casual users. I understand why Librewolf makes those decisions, and I’m glad that it exists, but you definitely run into some quirks when using it. I’m thinking about switching from Librewolf to Waterfox myself.

The thing I dislike about Brave is that Brave intends to be an advertising company. Brave’s original idea for revenue was that the browser itself should be the ad platform. Brave doesn’t block ads because it has a pro-user manifesto; it blocks ads because it dislikes competition.

That’s why it makes no sense for people to abandon Firefox for Brave. I understand the backlash against Mozilla’s recent ad-focused shift, but Brave invented that idea. So leaving Firefox for Brave is not an improvement.

It’s the browser I’ve chosen to use after getting fed up w/ Gecko’s terrible web compatibility these days (coming from Librewolf).

I’m curious about what those compatibility issues are. It’s been years since I’ve noticed any problems – and back when I was seeing problems, it was mainly because Google could afford to implement new standards faster than Mozilla could, not because Mozilla was doing anything wrong. Could it have been because of Librewolf? Librewolf has a ton of privacy-focused settings that can sometimes make pages behave in strange ways. (It doesn’t use your real time zone, it ignores dark mode, it lies about which OS you’re on, and it constantly clears your cookies to name a few.)

And on a meta-note: I dislike Brave, but I don’t think the parent here is a comment that needs to be downvoted. We can just explain why Brave is a bad idea.

It’s my understanding that Thunderbird operates as a very independent subsidiary within Mozilla. If they can turn a profit, maybe they can be even more independent. Personally, I’m optimistic about this.

From now on, every time I’m carrying more than two bags of potting soil, I’m calling it “truck stuff.”

This video is such a perfect example of Poe’s Law.

Except it can’t be a parody, because he actually owns a Cybertruck, which means this video is too expensive to make as a joke. And you know that he owns one because he had his Instagram username painted on the back. Which, again, feels like it should be satire. Except it can’t be, because you have to actually have bought a Cybertruck to do it. My God they are ridiculous.

Looking forward to reading it! awk has been a huge blind spot for me for a long time now.

I’ve started doing notes in the terminal as well. I used Obsidian and Logseq for a while, mainly because I wanted something with a GUI so that I could recommend it to people who aren’t comfortable with the terminal. But eventually I figured that a terminal solution was the right one for me, since I have a terminal open all the time anyway.

I switched from vim to kakoune a while ago ( https://kakoune.org ), so I use nb ( https://xwmx.github.io/nb ) instead of vimwiki.

nb is a terminal application that will open whatever your default text editor is.

Honestly, this sounds like an amazing combination.

It’s like they have no sense that other views exist, and opposing views do not constitute politics.

I think they point they are trying to make is that once you are very very wrong about something (in their mind), it’s no longer a political position, it’s just an immoral position. And if that’s what they’re saying, I disagree with it.

I’m not saying that there are no immoral positions, I’m saying that a position can be completely immoral and still be political. I hate when people use the phrase “it’s just politics” as a shield, as though everyone else has to be OK with some incredibly shitty attitude they have, just because they have managed to also make it a political attitude.

And that’s such a terrible superpower to give to politics, too: the ability to instantly legitimize a position simply because it falls under the domain of politics.

Not to long ago, the question of “should white children and black children be allowed to go to school together” was a political issue in the U.S. And I’d say that’s still a political issue. It didn’t magically become some other type of issue just because a few decades passed and we now agree that one side was completely wrong. The fact that it isn’t actively being discussed anymore doesn’t change the fact that it falls under the umbrella of political issues. It means that someone can have a political opinion and they have to be a real piece of shit to hold that opinion.

We used to have academic freedom. Now we just have sensitivity trainings and PANTS. SHACKLES OF THE MIND, I TELL YOU!
