You know what’s funny, the two clients that don’t support your dropdown/spoiler for anti-commercial licences were commercial closed-source Lemmy clients.

I say sod them and go back to your dropdown.


Look up “Stanford marshmallow experiment”.


I can’t stand Rossman’s videos; but I respect the hell out of his ideas, principles, and efforts to better the slices of technological life that he cares about.


“It’s a deck of playing cards. How much more fun can it be, compared to the 50+ other solitaire games? And why would I want to play poker by myself?”

So I got a bit of money leftover after bills, and decided to get it anyway cause I haven’t played anything fun this year. Went in blind without reading or watching any reviews.

Turns out it’s NOT just your standard deck of playing cards. You can do all sorts of crazy things to your deck. Like playing illegal hands such as five-of-a-kind, or a flush house. It’s a lot of fun.


I don’t know where you are, but painter’s tape (or masking tape) comes in all sorts of colours. Including white.


The way I normally do it is the following. Strip the sleeve further back than you need (say, an inch). Untwist the 8 cores and separate them.

Arrange them in the right order (the extra length makes this easy) Flatten, pack them together, and pinch with your thumb and forefinger near the base.

Without letting go of the pinch, use your free hand to cut them to the correct length. Now that you have them flat between your fingers in the right order, it should be pretty straightforward to slide them into the connector.



Gun culture, car culture, sports culture, political culture… /s, kinda


This article is prime “SelfAwareWolves” material…

Countering this in international media by offering more balanced views for a global audience is near impossible as censorship is rife. There almost seems to be a global compact to control the narrative, a propaganda war powered by today’s digital technology.



Or think of it as “convenience fee” for the people who can’t use F-Droid.

If my friend, who thinks I’m IT support since I majored computer science, asks me which tracker they should use - I would just tell them to pay the $4 for OpenTracks.


Oh that’s not uncommon in the industry. Especially when dealing with legacy code.

Personal best was 40k lines in a file called misc.c containing all the global functions that don’t fit anywhere else.

Runner up was the one where each developer dumped their miscellaneous functions in their own files, so they don’t have to deal with merge conflicts. Which means we had x1.c, x2.c, x3.c … etc.



As an old salty dog, I just wanna say it warms my cold heart that DCC is still thriving after all this time.


You can bind qB to your VPN connection, so that if the VPN fails qB would not attempt to use your unsecured line.
(Sorry not in front of a PC right now. Don’t remember the exact settings page, but it’s a dropdown with a list of available connections on your computer)
