oh shit I thought that was just a brave/tablet problem on Lemmy. It’s definitely mildly infuriating to have been moved down half the feed when hitting back, thought the browser was recognizing I was halfway down a comment section or something so it was registering the movement when I went back or something. On PC I just do new tabs (habit) like you said so I never notice it.

I’m confused by your comment and several people have upvoted it so I guess I need to ask what you’re talking about. I started quoting but it’s just reposting your comment basically. Do you think Anna is the perp they’re suing? Are you saying it’s public because it’s a website and not a torrent or such? (there are like…tons of websites for streaming and downloading pirated stuff…)

How is this a massive problem for all of us? How is this different from any other website posting pirated stuff and getting taken down/legal action against them over the past like… 2 decades? Rereading the article didn’t make anything clearer, I’m genuinely just confused on what you’re saying.

literally in the article

At the same time, however, it is not guaranteed that the site’s domain names will be suspended.

As reported previously, several domain names, including the Greenland-based .gl version, are linked to registries and registrars outside the jurisdiction of the U.S. court. As such, they previously did not comply to the preliminary injunction, and it is unknown whether the latest order changes that.

I wish more people did this, I sometimes have to convince people it’s ok to remove stickers from the manufacturers. I recently painted my dryer and it’s controls, the washers getting a treatment next. You can just pick up some nail polish and go to town on appliances if you want to start small.

Another great example of how AI is just wreaking havoc on people’s brains.

• Wants to show an enticing product to execs, doesn’t want to invest in paying an artist
• realizes they have to have connections but doesn’t want to network
• wants recognition of their hard work, hasn’t sought out a community or collaboration but states “show me the money”

AI will fix everything for me! Slop doesn’t exist! (ignores the very article we’re in, any platform algorithm feed, the us president shit posting, all the slop that gets presented here). Go get em Nik, don’t let haters stop your brilliance.

ok I would never use one and think it’s a horrible addition to the world (unless economic stability was achieved for the average citizen and a form of UBI was implemented with all social safety nets securely codified into laws), but…

if something delivering my food showed up covered in broken glass and was all banged up I would have to wonder what apocalyptic-style pixar movie did this little one have to go through to humbly get my food to me. I would take it in and clean it up before I set it on it’s way again out into the wild.

Oh shit that edit is hilarious and you don’t even see the irony in it.

The Invention of “Jaywalking”

This is the story of how, in the 1920s, the auto industry chased people off the streets of America — by waging a brilliant psychological campaign. So the death toll was astounding. In cities of more than 25,000 people, cars were a leading cause of death by 1925. In the 1920s alone, car drivers killed over 200,000 Americans.

over 100 years later and some communities are still fighting for policies that allow an environment that fosters connection and value of life over powerful industry lobbyists trying to take over with their products (sound familiar?). But for sure, it will just fix itself if we just give it a little more time 😘

awesome link! going through to hopefully find what I need, probably going to pick up a few extra ones I see lol

It’s less of trying to do “days” and more just a 24 hour period of any given day. Syncing isn’t necessary as we can all just sit down for a few minutes on a singular device to get a gist of our needs and what our day is like. The calendars I’m used to usually are great for different events for different days but this is just more of a sleep, work, chores, etc in a day and what times they’re available. I’ll edit in some images in the upload to explain more what I’m looking for.

Imagine local libraries and post offices pushing this technology to get around ISP’s grips on local infrastructure. Helps during emergency events, local organization, and could even put e-books available from the library. Post office’s make sense because of their rural locations extending the nodes and brings them into the 21st century delivering physical and digital mail.

edit: would also love to get notifications from local government this way instead of having to check facebook or whatever mainstream site that I need to register with just to view.

I’m not 100% on board with @[email protected] because it gives off some “but you participate in society, interesting” vibes. However, as an American I am all for people from the rest of the world boycotting our products (and this time not because of the health implications!). When Canadians were promoting non-american alternatives I agreed with them so I think we can say fuck companies and still stand with the actual individual people who want peace and everyone to prosper respectfully.

I just bookmark the piracy megathread/wiki thingy, lemmy/reddit (backup). For streaming, I would probably recommend hydra, it’s really all the same but that site has “auto-next” which I prefer. There was one site I used to enjoy that was just better than any streaming platform I’ve paid for, skip intro, skip credits (would even detect after credit scenes), subtitles in all languages and audio tracks even commentary, quick responsive high quality loading of any media your mind can remember. They went after it hard and I haven’t seen a proper iteration since (every clone slowly lost features as they were whack-a-moling).

For downloading, they’re really all crappy (several link hoops to jump through) and hit or miss (for quality and selection you can’t beat the ease of a torrent unfortunately). You can find what you want eventually but the difference in hassle is just crazy.

It’s an article about Linus and viewership decline, a lot of people on here (including myself) probably once watched and then moved on. Of course the view:like ratio would skyrocket if less common people are viewing and only his main core is keeping on (who are giving the likes). You would rather people talk about an unsubstantiated claim of viewership conspiracy instead?

The “member” videos and the new age verification was finally the push I needed to use youtube less. I don’t get why creators are pushing their shit like that and it’s EVERYONE it seems. Some are 1.99, some are 6+. It’s just insane youtube thinks it’s a viable market when everyone left cable because of the cost and now it’s 10x more the cost for like 10% of the shit to watch.

before, if I clicked on a new video it might show me a few videos after that which fit the same theme/category. Now if I watch one fucking video it completely floods my algorithm with the same shit back to back. I have different accounts on every device I watch something on (like in the kitchen when cooking, etc) and they’re so fucking drastically different in the feed it’s insane.

At this point I think you can legally opt out of any type of data collection by the government like the Census. You’re required by law to participate but they are also required by law to keep your information safe, that’s no longer possible in this administration and there’s plenty of relevant data to back it up.

Oh man! You’ve just giving me something that I think will really help stoke the fire in my relationship!

I’ve never really been into sexual roleplay and it’s one of the things my partner previously expressed an interest in. We regularly game together either doing co-op or single player since we feel it’s more engaging sometimes than zoning out on a movie., so the recommendations like “Leap of Love” sounds like the perfect gaming/drinking night that might kinda dip into the roleplaying aspect!

I really wish I claimed it when I saw it, just a few clicks and I’m kicking myself for it now. Are there any others you or anyone else would recommend that are more fantasy roleplay focused and might be good for two people?

I was skeptical of them at first when looking for 2nd-life OS’s. There were a lot of sketchy looking and not really “user-friendly” sites/forums (postmarketOS being one of them) that I avoided but decided to try it anyways. It’s been fun and I’ve enjoyed having a decent OS to tinker with and see what capabilities I can get out of defunct equipment.

If I could get a secure smartphone use out of them I’m gonna be ecstatic. Been staring at phones and GrapheneOS for the past two years but glad I didn’t jump onto something yet.

I feel so proud of postmarketOS! I’ve been using them for 2nd life uses for phones, tablets, and chromebooks with very minimal problems. It’s like having an obscure band you follow all of a sudden getting mentioned everywhere and I couldn’t be happier for the project (like the 3rd time on Lemmy this week alone I’ve seen them mentioned).

If you have some scrap equipment throw it on and report your findings! There’s a lot of testing that needs done and information needs to flow. I’ve done a “recipe” notebook with an old chromebook, a tablet for easy video viewing I can send videos to (instead of making my partner come to the comp), and like 3 other devices that I haven’t finished with but pmOS will be a part of it.

Join their testing team if you have devices that aren’t listed! Unlike most requirements, if it’s not listed that just means it probably hasn’t been tested…not that it doesn’t work on your device. (they could probably also use some editors for their text instructions, it’s quite back and forth with links trying to find proper instructions).

you think libraries are free?

most public libraries and librarians spend a great deal of their time applying for grants, asking for donations, and parsing out the meager state and federal funds they receive. You can tell that a lot goes on in a public library besides what patrons see!

Did you know that staff salaries, books, other library materials, office supplies, and utilities are funded primarily by city and county taxes? (link)

Taking this chance to say support your local libraries! Even just being a patron will show that it’s a necessary resource that needs to continue. My partner and I just were talking about the library today and how we both used to go at least once a week back in the day but we’ve fallen off in the past decade.
