I specified gifts. You can still enjoy the holiday without excessive unnecessary consumption.

I used to love software. Then all the Lumberghs took over.

How many optional organs does this poor guy have?

Back when I still enjoyed reddit, I loved /random. How very reddit of them to continue down the road of making it a worse user experience. Because it hasn't been about the users for a long, long time. They do it gradually enough that the average reddit schmuck barely even notices.

I find going on and off DST to be kind of a nuisance, but I don't have strong feelings about it one way or the other. It seems like the experience varies from place to place, and your region's distance to the equator is an important factor. The closer you are to the equator, the less necessary DST is.

Historically, some of the regions that went off of DST much prefer it that way, and never looked back. But others regretted opting out of it, and went back to doing it again after everyone complained about it.

I'm sure 47 will make it all about him, whatever he does. And it will probably be a chaotic mess of software patches when they try to implement it. There will be far worse problems to deal with during the Stupid Ages, but throw this one on the pile I guess.

I've only seen one of them up close in person and it was pretty cool, I do admit. But I still don't want one for myself. Something about the whole thing just feels weird and off. I'd be constantly feeling like it was going to split apart from plastic fatigue if I had one.

I know that, like a lot of my fellow 'Muricans, I will try to avoid seeing a health care provider until I absolutely have to. Random inexplicable pain? Hopefully it gets better on its own in a few days.

Which I know is not at all smart, but 1. there are not enough doctors to go around and 2. the ones we do have are understandably burned out AF and 3. the insurance bullshit is brutal.

The insurance carriers make it very clear that you have done something wrong if you go see a health care provider.

"Insurance is for collecting premiums only". They are the "no take, only throw" dog meme in real life.

This is one of the funniest things I've seen on Lemmy. Well done.

I have no idea, but I really hope some genius on Lemmy creates a simulation of this fight so we can all have a great time watching it.

why are leopards eating my face I'm so confused

 

We mostly watch news and sports in my house. So unfortunately, live TV. Occasionally we watch other things. I mute the commercials and browse my phone when they're on.

But I would love a TV that is smart enough to auto hide & mute every kind of ad. Even little logos on the athletes' uniforms. Hide the ads on the pitcher's mound. Hide the billboards and signs in the stadium. Show some cool little generic animation, music video, or slide show during commercial breaks. Hide the damned popup window ads and scrolling ads that some channels do. Remove product placements from movies and shows. Basically make all ads completely vanish.

 

Not asking for tech support here, just wondering if in theory it would be possible to create a plug-in or even a complete browser that blocks ads in a way that's impossible to detect. One model that comes to mind is a quarantined / containerized non-blocking virtual browser which queries the web server directly, then the UX filters the content from that container and presents it to the user ad-free. As far as the web server can tell, the containerized browser is just vanilla Chromium.

 

Has anybody gotten this to work? If I set up multiple MFA devices with my IAM accounts, they all work flawlessly. But if I set up multiple MFA devices with my root account, only the original MFA device works. No matter how carefully I set up and synch a secondary device, it simply will not work with root. As the linked article says, this should be possible with either root or IAM (though in the past this was not the case). Thanks.

 

Some of the satire on there was gold. Had a wonderful lampoon vibe.
