Except Harris was going to drag us back towards the left. But hey, no biggie. 15 million people can't be bothered to vote and will get who they helped elect.

Probably meant he wanted them to pay him protection money, lol.

For anyone on a different server, you can always personally defederated from a server under Settings in the Block tab at the very bottom. I eventually ended up being defederated from hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml.

Dude is gonna come back at him with the first mention of lead in the bible and say, no this is where God created lead, lol.

So the two realistic options are Trump and Harris. You do realize Netanyahu wants Trump to win, correct? You do realize Trump isn't going to do a damn thing except attempt to install himself as God Emperor of the US if he's elected while utterly ignoring all outside politics, yes? So by not voting for Kamala, that's what you're signalling you're ok with.

Harris has at least signaled she is willing to consider forcing Isreal to some sort of negotiation table. Although neither side is going to say anything particularly inflammatory ahead of the election because… AIPAC, who has literally thrown millions at any candidate that has spoken out against them pre-election.

Who the fuck said I don't believe there's a genocide going on?

Aha, so just don't participate. Cool cool.

Cool! Since I do the occasional mountain bike ride or hike into places with zero cell service, it's a huge plus for me to have satellite communication capabilities on the phone. Interesting they're working it the other way too for disaster areas.

Because Trump is so likely to be a better choice for solving the Israel-Gaza crisis, lol.

If you have an iPhone 14 on and iOS 18 you can now text via satellite during an outage too. People in NC were raving about how great it was to be able to check in with loved ones and get help.

Head wind is definitely number one for me too. EDIT: OK actually it would be snow or rain, but those really aren't issue where I live (AZ desert).

I have literally never downloaded pirated software since OS 9 went away and OS X became a thing. Open up your task manager and look at how many processes there are (Window, Mac or Linux) and ask yourself if you're going to notice the one extra process that is out of place.

As for files with extra extensions, this is why you should always set Explorer/Finder/whatever to show all file extensions the very first thing, regardless of what OS you're running too.

 

… and he calls some random people after he mows down the cyclists, but not 911? How is he only facing misdemeanor charges?!?

 

My apologies to the Bugzilla team for wasting their time holding my hand on this one. Would have honestly never noticed the little "HTML5" info icon to the left of the URL bar though without their help.

 

For me, best of 2023 was Red Team Blues by Cory Doctorow. A retirement-age forensic accountant traveling around in an ex-rock star bus from Walmart parking lot to next gourmet dining location does a job for a billionaire and suddenly ends up in a surprising amount of hot water over it. Hijinks ensue.

Runner-up goes to Venomous Lumpsucker by Ned Beauman. This is some bleak, bleak humor. Instead of carbon credits, Beauman posits extinction credits. Got a big strip mining operation coming up that will kill off a couple species? Better buy some extinction credits to cover their death! (And remember, it takes more credits to cover for a dead intelligent species, so factor that in!) Next extinction candidate: the Venomous Lumpsucker, but don't make it extinct until you've got all your paperwork done. Researcher and extinction credit manager for a mining company end up in a desperate chase around the planet trying to ascertain if the last of the Lumpsuckers are truly gone or not, and we go along for the ride.

 

Not sure if it's in RSF RBR yet or not, but hopefully soon?

 

Not my video, but looks like a ton of fun! Should mention the rally driving starts about 4 minutes in. He goes over some of the main patch notes for 1.4 prior to that.

 

Anyone have an idea why the Previous button would be missing from all pages? I can click Next and it seems to navigate me forward, but there is not Previous button to go back a page. Checked lemmy.world just to verify it wasn't my imagination and indeed the Previous button is still there.

Things I've tried so far that haven't worked:

  • Disable uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and TamperMonkey for lemmy.ml
  • Load website in default Safari and Edge
  • Try a few different themes to make sure it wasn't something with the theme I was using
 

(And in Space Black even!)

 

Hi everyone,

So I have created a "sublemmy" add-on for lemmy.ml that lets you quickly jump to a community from the address bar in FireFox. Just type 'c firefox', for example, and it will go there and sort the community by new. Useful if you have a few communities you want to check regularly and quickly from any new browser window.

The one caveat is that this tool only works for the website lemmy.ml because that is the site hardwired into the search string, alas. Not sure if there is a way around that (that would maybe take 2 arguments instead of one?) but that's where it's at for now.

Link is included if anyone wants to use it!
