That’s the thing that bugs me about Apple products anymore. Having a tower the size of a mid-size ATX, with ports you can plug peripherals into, inside the case? Oh, that’s so hard and unsightly. Here, hook up external peripherals to this hub instead.
2·1 month agoI suppose it’s too much to hope for, for RSS feeds to make a comeback. Or JSON feeds being more prevalent. I’m totally serious, I miss being able to just check the headlines without going through a bunch of bullshit.
1·1 month agoKDE also has a WebKit browser. Heck it’d be weird if they didn’t since WebKit is a fork of KHTML
At this point I’m more or less done with Reddit. My latest ban was because I posted a screenshot of an ad with a wacky old person comment to r/oldpeoplefacebook. I carefully smudged out the person’s name and profile pic…and got a three-day site-wide ban for sharing personal information. I protested, they said, nope, you shared personal information. All I can figure is they decided the advertiser’s name is personal info, which would make it even more bizarre because I’d say about half the posts have group or advertiser names unedited.
People they let mod, can end up getting this really bizarre God complex not dissimilar to what you see in university settings, their word goes, questioning their word is a sin and they’ll just double down.
I remember when the GNOME file manager was this kind of interesting hybrid that used MC for the backend. The one thing I liked about it was that it could be docked in Window Maker. Yep I was using a Dock in GNOME waaaaaaaaaaaaaay before most GNOME users.
Nowadays it’s still possible to replicate my old Window Maker desktop in XFCE.
I’m gonna laugh my ass off if someone finds out there was some obscure Emacs fork or clone designed to run Clojure or something, and it’s named Again
I tried that once. Don’t eat the Milk Duds that come out of a rabbit, trust me, they taste like shit.
6·1 year agoI gave up on it because I’ve tried logging in via Jeroba, Connect, and Voyager on my phone, and no bueno. I don’t mind putting in some effort but eventually I give up.
That’s what bugs me about modern phone design, though. They could put Otterbox-type protection right on the phone and that’d be fine for most people. Personally have an S23 and I think it’s unnecessarily ugly, thin, and easy to drop, when it’s not in a case.
31·1 year agoI’ll give kind of the opposite story. An Illinois town’s PD has made the news at least twice for chasing a UFO. In the 80s they were on some TV special about unexplained events, talking about the time they chased a triangular-shaped UFO for a long time. I remember watching that, and then going to the nearby air base for an air show, complete with a triangular-shaped stealth bomber…
It’s quickly turning into another Parler or Truth Social
Well I don’t think he meant anything other than that he probably agrees with the lyrics. Four people wrote the song and he’s not one of the songwriters. Also he’s not from a small town.
Oh, I don’t know. There’s lots of towns across the US that only came to be because it was a water stop. And in those towns the tracks still exist and the people living there commute to work.
The little town I grew up in had a trainyard and that’s why it existed. The yard is gone but there’s still active train lines going through town.
How vulnerable are those billionaire bunkers to earthquakes?
I’ve been tempted to do this for things like egg salad sandwiches and potato salad.
I’m saving this for later, I have people send me print ads (yeah really) and this will help.
