Have you seen those bullshit rerelease editions? SAD!
Apple ProDOS yo! Then System 6 and on.
First Linux was a Debian disto packaged with Linux for Dummies somewhere in the late 90s/early 00s.
It used to exist, and it was glorious!
The thing is, “research” doesn’t speak, humans do. If a tree falls in the woods… and so on. Part of being a scientist is communicating what you’ve done, otherwise no one else will know. It’s a skill that has to be developed in some more than others, and it was a key part of my training as a scientist. I don’t really like that part as much, but I do it because it’s what makes my work have any impact.
You wouldn’t DOWNLOAD A HANDLE would you?
Holy shit, magneto-optical. Never had a drive, but I remember thinking it sounded so high tech.
You may have stumped me with the LS120. Ima have to look that one up.
Kettle != tea pot
Whole Foods (by Amazon) already has e-ink price tags for everything. So not out of the realm of possibility.
While I agree that the fingerprinting data is interesting, on iOS, TikTok doesn’t require any of those permissions as indicated. Some of the articles state that they are required, but they aren’t. As far as I know it isn’t possible, without a zero day of some sort, to access camera, sound, contacts, etc without explicitly granting those permissions.
That said, that is a lot of data, and for those that can be linked back to an individual. And I’m sure most people are less careful with permissions. The fingerprinting data is clearly powerful, and I find it extremely fascinating, since there is VERY limited input and such effective output.
Sources on any of this? Perhaps it works differently on Android.
The main thing which you miss though is that it has “the algorithm” down pat. While it knows I’ll watch cooking videos and videos of people yelling at cops, it doesn’t bother trying to show me things about Trump, etc. it is keeping me in my own custom echo chamber. I have no idea how it works so well.
Now imagine someone hell bent on believing things like the pizza molester stories or Jan 6th alt histories. This is a very effective tool for radicalizing people and reinforcing the “truth” they already suspect. It’s easier to divide people based on preconceived notions than trying to convince people of something new.
More like Dell likes to appear premium:
- Crappy Dell Latitude, Price: $6995, YOUR PRICE: 2995.
And on the website it’s like a $1000 laptop. And it still falls apart one year later.
I see you’ve never seen a Dell BPA
You mean the Mengele effect?
I switched from hosting my own mail for close to 10 years to using Fastmail. The webmail client is much better than Rainloop and Roundcube. I like it better than Gmail TBH. I’m very happy with my decision, but I’m only hosting for me.
I also considered Proton, but it doesn’t satisfy a couple of your requirements. It is a good value though, and the privacy features are tops.
The best value I’ve seen by far is Microsoft 365. The webmail for Outlook is quite good and you can host your own client if you want and connect with IMAP. It’s especially a good value if you use the family plan. Bonus is you also get MS Office and a TB of storage. Downside: Microsoft. But 2024 MS isn’t the same as 2005 M$.
But I've seen everything anyway. And I get on my bike and I ride off. On the grass.
Remote work situation is night and day what it was in many places since 2021
lol, what world are you living in? Yes, it’s better than retail, but for high skill jobs (which the government desperately needs) these things are not true.
- Random layoffs—sure, as long as you’re the right kind of employee
- Vacation is accumulated at an embarrassingly slow rate, especially for newer employees.
- pension. Right, but there are similarly no stock options or significant performance bonuses you find in the private sector
- you’d be surprised at the work schedules for government employees who aren’t admin assistants
Pay is so far behind still it isn’t funny.
Those are all part of the executive branch, and are subject to the executive.
Non plastic coffee cone recommendations
Anyone have a recommendations for non plastic cones for pour over?
I usually use one like this (#2) for individual cups. I also use this larger one (#6) to make coffee directly into my large thermal coffee carafe when people are coming over. Being able to sit on top of the carafe is a great feature.
It’s been almost 10 years since I bought these so wondering what else people are using now.
Keyboard/trackpad shortcuts for going back
Apologies if I’ve missed this, but it hasn’t popped out to me. Are there shortcuts one can use on a connected keyboard/trackpad that one can use to go back from a post to a community, for example? Like Cmd-[ or Cmd-⬅️? Or swipe with 2 fingers? If not, can this be a feature request?
Cheers guys and keep up the amazing work!
Mac M1 vs Intel running amd64 container
Has anyone benchmarked how much qemu bogs down an AMD64 container running on a Mac M1 vs in its natural architecture?
Just starting to ensure that containers will run on a Mac and there are so many weird things. I’m wondering how much effort it’s worth to try to build a whole separate version of each container in ARM vs having a single AMD64 for each.
Missing posts (or how do federated comments sync)
I had started a thread using my lemmy.world account on a community on lemmy.ml. Now, during the recent world downtime, I continued with my lemm.ee username. When lemmy.world came back up I can see my comments when I’m logged in through lemm.ee but not when logged in to lemmy.world.
My question is with ActivityPub, do comments always sync? Or is is more that if you miss the original payload from a sister instance, those comments don’t ever arrive? Or is there a set number of retries (similar to email)?
Thanks for helping understand!
Pihole and DNS requests
Not sure if this ever got solved, but I’m running Pihole on my network and eero for gateway, routing, Wi-Fi, and dhcp functions. The gateway address (i.e. 192.168.0.1) is the only one that shows up in the pihole logs.
I have DNS Caching off on my eero configuration, and I’ve got conditional forwarding on on the pihole config.
Anything else I can do to have the individual IPs actually make requests to the pihole without being intercepted by the eero?

Obligatory: Date night restaurants
So Atlanta, it’s been a while since I’ve branched out, and we need such a post on Lemmy….
What are your favorite date night restaurants? Can be expensive or not. Established or hot right now?
Welcome to Twin Peaks on Lemmy
Whether you’re new to Lemmy, a refugee from /r/twinpeaks or whatever, welcome to the community!
Is this the place or will we move to the lemmy.ml location?
For folks who move from /r/Atlanta which place will we use? This one or https://lemmy.ml/c/atlanta ? Thoughts?
