It’s hard enough finding one job - how in the hell are these people getting five?

That’s just the reality of ‘adult’ being the most common euphemism for porn in English, as in ‘adult films’. It’s not going anywhere.

On the other hand, this is Valve capitulating to PayPal and removing games from sale for everyone because a payment provider didn’t like them. Not a good precedent to set.

Just dropping in to say what follows in this thread is the most pointless, overblown argument I’ve seen in a very long time.

Full-on, unironically, arguing over dictionary definitions with each other and trading insults.

This is what the internet does to some people. Look on and despair.

Why save 2 clicks when you could save 3?

The menu item in question reads as follows:

Chicken Pops

Small, itchy, blister-like bumps caused by the varicella-zoster virus; common in childhood.

I get something like what you’re describing with my M3 Air when using an Anker 555 hub to connect to an external monitor via HDMI. Most of the time it’s fine, but occasionally I will get a distortion/interference effect on the external screen, kind of like rolling horizontal bars or flickering. Sometimes quite subtle, other times very distracting.

I’ve tried swapping out cables and repositioning devices in various configurations: it’s not the cables, and other devices don’t exhibit the same issue when displaying through the same hub.

I’ve also noticed that certain patterns onscreen cause it to happen more easily - checkerboards and fine diagonal stripes in particular. Very odd, and means there are some websites and apps that can semi-reliably trigger it.

I almost wonder if it’s something to do with how macOS is scaling the image for the display, and that not playing nice with the hub’s HDMI encoder for some reason?

The pic from the article with candles and ray traced reflections is giving big ‘time cube’/geocities conspiracy theory energy

Wow, Silverlight - now there’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.

I don’t think the laws of physics allow for anything to be ‘permanently’ in stock.

Good day for laundry! Otherwise, staying sheltered indoors.

We’re lucky enough to have aircon upstairs if things get too spicy, but just keeping the curtains drawn and the windows closed is working for now.

Because YouTube thumbnails are designed to generate clicks and engagement (including this conversation right here!), not to be correct or informative.

 

Just curious if there are any others out there on Lemmy! Where are you based and what team do you support?

I live in the UK but I’m a Saints fan - started following the league in 2020 as a lockdown hobby and it stuck!

We can view all our upvoted (or downvoted, saved, etc) posts & comments from the account page, but it’s just a simple chronological list.

I’d like to be able to filter the list, particularly by community or by user.

Example use case: I want to be able to easily see every post I’ve upvoted on !outofcontextcomics@lemmy.world without having to scroll past everything I’ve ever upvoted anywhere.

 
 

There's a little globe icon added in the bottom-right corner of external links, so you know that tapping the thumbnail will open a link rather than an image preview, but in its current form it's hard to see against darker thumbnails.

The posts I've highlighted with arrows in the image are both links, but it's almost impossible to tell.
