Y’all don’t even know how to punch a punchcard, let alone how to write instructions with it. Bunch of babies!


I use it all the time to spark my creativity. Something like “I need to write an email about this and that to such and such people. Give me five suggestions”


I’ve never met a Russian who was not vehemently against Putin. I know only three Russians. They don’t know each other and they are very different people, but they share an anti putin ideaology.

Why so mean? You could’ve just said that those two sites have changed in the past decade and that they should look into diversification. The insult was uncalled for.


Here’s the plan. You write an extension for chrome that makes chrome think all traffic from [cryptominingcentral.com] is actually from *.google.com. Make folks install the plugin via the tried and tested methods like phishing. … profit


And again, porn is running the internet… i mean ruining… sorry for the typo


This might be true, but it’s rapidly changing due to a collaborative effort from big gaming companies, streaming services and hollywood. People are relearning the art of torrenting.


I think the cats, hedgehogs, squirels and otger frequent roadkill victims will be very happy if massively we start using flying electric cars


This sounds very reasonable and not unlike payment apps I use, like Tikkie or Klarna


I felt my vote needed to be aginst the extreme right. The pirate party is more of a secondary needs party, once primary beeds have been taken care of. Digital freedom isn’t worth much if you’re living under the threat of fascism regarless.




No, most phones are allready safe to leave on your charger all night.



Totally. I mean, it could cost you your life savings and possibly your freedom if they come for you. But their admin’s life savings is a sacrifice I am willing to make.



Was there an exodus in waves? Did some people stay behind, but fewer and fewer as time passed?


So basically it is up to you to inform yourself and make a concious decision which ai service you use. Like how you can use ecosia instead of google or host your webserice in norway instead of the american east coast (renewable energy instead of coal)


How about other countries? There has been a cooking advice for my region for the past 5 days. It was lifted today, but a new cooking advice was issued for the region next to mine. The cooking advice says to boil your tap water for 3 minutes before drinking, because they found enterecococcen bacteria in the water.

Could this be a cyber attack? Like, there’s not really a bacteria in the water, but the system is made to think there is.







I can’t even really blame them, to be honest. It’s just a shame it has to be this way


I was a truck driver, driving long distances, long hours. I was listening up to 4 audiobooks per week. Audible only offered 4 books per month.


Yeah, but you can disagree with the way google does it and use alternatives. One of those alternatives could be a non-AI alternative.



I also bought some spare parts from AE, because they were literally nowhere else to be found except for other, more shady chinese websites. I would get spam mails from AE for months though. They’d send it from a different email adress everytime. Multiple mails per day that were unblockable.

So yeah, it s a legit business, but it’s not a good business. Might be worse than amazon.



Screw word. I’m studying Software Development, but I have to write all these management reports for various classes. I’m just writing them in LaTeX now, so it feels like I’m coding while I’m writing a paper. Implement some new fancy features every time that I than have to debug like I do with code.


I did not know his name was Bernard Hill.



and if you take one thing away from this newsletter, I want it to be the name Prabhakar Raghavan

Yeah okay, but it’s a really hard name to remember.


I’ve been hearing a few complaints lately. Tha lemmy isn’t good enough and that people are going back to the dark side. But I dont see it.


That is a lot of fun to do, most times. Also I need to provide for my family and the guys who pay my salary want their stupid features implemented like yesterday.




What non-IDE tekst editor do you use?
(Graphical) IDE's are great for development, but they're slow to start and heavy to run. Sometimes you just want to take a quick look at an xml or dockerfile and you don't want to spin up the whole IDE for that. I've recently rediscovered notepad++ for that (on windows), what's your prefered easy-acces-tekst-editor?

looking for advent of code explanations
Hi lemmy, You all probably kniw about https://adventofcode.com/ I would love to do that with some students of mine. Only thing is, I'm not very good at it, so I can't always figure out what the underlyong principles are. Is there a place where someone (website, blog, github, erc), much better than I, explains each puzzle, how it's solved, which algorithm is used, what underlying principles you can learn from this?

Is a plex subscription worth it?
I want to unlock the ability to view content on my mobile device. I can do that with a one-time purchase (payed with google opinion rewards) or with a subscription. I want to unlock the ability for my entire family though, across multiple devices. Do I have to pay the "one-time payment" for every device? If so, the plex subscription might be worth it. Is there any other major benefit to having a plex subscription?

Why can I acces 1337 through chrome, but not through firefox?
I found out today that I can change my dns to acces 1337.to again. My ISP was blocking it. However, it works on chrome, but not on firefox. Why doesn't it work on firefox?

200mb episodes are good enough!
I watch a fair amount of series, but I'm not a data hoarder. I see the value in 2GB episodes, but I watch most series on my laptop, my simple 1920x1080 tv or even my phone where that value doesn't make a difference. If I want to have a theater experience, I'll go to the theater. Most of the times I just want to enjoy a good story and relax before I go to bed. I don't have infinite storage and I hate when I want to download something new, but Im out of storage, so I have to delete stuff first.
