Fixes catastrophic data loss, er, bug, er poorly documented feature… user error

Gotta love the Register

@[email protected] here’s to you, everyone’s favourite stargazing memelord! Without you, Lemmy would be a quieter and less funny place. Cheers!

At first I thought it was another safe with even more money, and I was wondering if I should get a magnet.

That performance cost seems to be negligible in uBlock Origin and other popular ad blockers that have focused on optimization […], but there were probably other extensions not doing that well.

The article goes out of its way to not do what you’re accusing it of. I don’t understand how you’ve managed to read the article as having the opposite slant as what it actually does.

I assume you’re in the US? Are you saying your iPhone customers were so prejudiced against green messages that they’d go with a different supplier/partner/whatever? Was it the friction of not having all the messaging features, or just that they thought all serious businesspeople used iPhones?

I started but then I noticed the scrollbar and realised it’s a lot longer read than I have the attention for right now - to the “read later (yeah right)” pile with you!

So they’re switching from using both Mercurial and Git to just Git… How did they end up using both? Was it just that each had its supporters so they just compromised and made everyone use both?

It is possible to die from eating spicy food, like this 14 year old in the US: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/one-chip-challenge-pulled-shelves-teen-death-rcna103906

You’re forgetting about security updates, which would also be blocked. It’s definitely more of a problem if the whole of Mozilla gets blocked than some plugins that have workarounds and alternatives.

If Russia blocks security updates, that’s worse for Russian users than having to go to GitHub to install a plugin.

I know how federation works, but look at the network inspector and you’ll see you’re pulling a lot of images from Cloudflare-proxied sites (or you’re missing a lot, if you’ve blacklisted them).

Anyway, I only meant that even Lemmy, with its anti-corporate culture, is still heavily using Cloudflare. “Only” 22% is still a lot in my book.

I’m interested as to your motives - are you doing this as a boycott, and/or to protect your privacy (or similar)? Also, are you blocking domains one-by-one, or are doing something like using firewall rules?

If you’re blocking everything that’s proxied via Cloudflare or hosted on Google, the internet must be a very small place for you. I think even a third of Lemmy is behind Cloudflare.

The article uses the word modified, but it sounds like it’s just talking about configuring it and using it as normal.

The ban comes after Fartz posted footage [on Instagram] in which he sparked up a bong during one of Phish’s shows at the venue in April.

The footage […] was accompanied by the message, “First bong hit to be ever ripped in the Sphere Las Vegas, somebody called Guinness World Records”, in which Fartz tagged the venue.

So he removed all the venue’s plausible deniability, then suffered the consequences. sadtrombone.com

One place I worked had a small park, so sometimes I’d go for a lap or two to think something through - the fresh air, mild exercise, change of scenery and lack of distractions wroked wonders.

@[email protected] this is good advice

I don’t know either - it could be purposely wrong to indicate that the figures aren’t included, or to get attention via the mistake/meme. Or just that lots of people are fuzzy on the many Star * IPs.

Bravo! If this is a harbinger of the memes that we can expect from Davulcan Mitchell, then it’s going to be good.

At the same time, Penick had people rate what they thought the ant smelled like. Most people said blue cheese, but some thought it smelled like rotted coconut. So Penick rotted a coconut in his backyard and found a mold growing on it that, sure enough, is the same mold (Penicillium roqueforti) that’s used to produce blue cheese. Another mystery, solved.

So American house ants, rotten coconuts and blue cheese all smell the same. Life is weird.

I haven’t used atuin yet, but I believe the histories from other machines is more like accessible than mixed - you don’t just hit ↑ on machine1 and see machine2 commands.
