My dumbass father liked eragon, I couldn’t even give it a fair shot as a movie bc I was too caught up in how they absolutely butchered the storyline of the books.

If Superman (or whoever) uses the remaining distance between you and the ground to reduce the impulse on your body. But they also have to be careful about their speed coming in to grab you, because they could easily substitute your impact with the ground for an impact with them.

lol, I think you mean that there’s a reason they’re supposed to give them yard time

I think straight is more about sex than gay is.

Not if they keep up with their gerrymandering, it’d take a shit load of tech bros to counteract gerrymandering.

I thought it was just survivorship bias.

You mostly see the strongest outdoor plants thriving in their optimal conditions. Indoor plants are whatever rainforest wonder you tried to grow indoors, under watered and next to your AC.

We don’t have to pay for the first year, interest accrues, but you don’t become delinquent. Either I completely misread the agreement I signed, and so did many others including journalists.

More likely, this particular article is garbage.

No… no no no to this type of rhetoric. If law enforcement wants to spy on an American, they should be required to prove to a judge they have a very good reason and get a warrant for that shit.

Their foot steps sound like they just have 2 pegs for feet… they hit so hard.

And they frequently, almost daily, spend the entire evening stomping around the entire footprint of their apartment.

Are there people who really just get the top floor, and think “I’m so smart, and everyone else can get fucked” then proceed to make all the fucking noise in the world?

Lower clarity, contrast, sharpness. That’s roughly it.

I'm hoping there's something decent available for the area, I've been scouring the internet and all I'm coming up with is:

  • Sporadic data from a couple of sources on National Allergy Bureau
  • Paid API's with questionable accuracy, since they offer 'hyperlocal' information for the whole globe.
  • Daily information that is super vague

In San Antonio, through the NAB, there was a daily M-F report with detailed allergen info. I really want that for Portland.

I want to know which specific allergens are in the air to help me figure out why I've been producing copious amounts of mucous this week, and be able to plan outdoor activities / meds with ample information.

So, national minimum wage is $7 something, so homes should be about $77k, right?

I keep finding comments I made that have weird typos in them that I know came from autocorrect. I typed "disruptively" or something very close to that, and it turned into "disruptive let". But thats far from the only instance. If I did fat finger the y and hit t, I'd rather "disruptivelt" than "disruptive let", the first seems much more obvious that its a typo, the second could be quite confusing depending on the context since its now 2 english words.

I got an email about the new TV interface for Spotify, it said it was for TVs, streamers, consoles, etc.

I open Spotify on the ATV and it’s the same shit it’s been for years.

They never implemented lyrics either.

I like it too much to move away, but this kinda pisses me off.

I struggle to click on anything that has a height of 1 line of texts. Short comments, post titles… other stuff

It’s actually pretty aggravating.

Idk what the solution is for this, but it’s a problem I virtually never had w Apollo. Is the touch target only the line of text and not inclusive of the padding around the text?

I've got Sonos showing up in HomeAssistant, as a media player with all the expected controls and info.

I tried going through the UI, creating a new homekit integration, accessory mode, selecting just the 1 single sonos to be included.

This yields me a series of switches in the Home app on my iPhone.

I've tried adding the sonos through an accessory mode entry in yaml to make it mascarade as a TV and a Receiver, but each time it shows up as a "TV"/"Receiver" in the home app, but with only a power button.

I've read through https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/homekit none of the troubleshooting tips helped, I heeded all info I could find on media_players, tv, and receivers.

Can any one help me with this? It seems like it should be possible, I really wan't expecting this to give me the trouble it has.

Ultimately I just want to be able to control things like play/pause/skip/volume via siri, if you've got other suggestions to that end, I'm all ears.

The emails look legit, came from noreply@email.apple.com, don't even have a link in them to reset password, just a plaintext url to access appleid settings if I need to reset password.

Dear <>,
Your Apple ID (<>) was used to sign in to iCloud via a web browser.
Date and Time: October 21, 2023, 10:30 PM PDT
If the information above looks familiar, you can ignore this message.
If you have not signed in to iCloud recently and believe someone may have accessed your account, go to Apple ID (https://appleid.apple.com) and change your password as soon as possible.
Apple Support

I have 2fa enabled, and haven't got a login request any time I've got one of these emails.

The password isn't used for anything else, and is complicated enough that I highly doubt it was bruteforced.

The only other thing of note, is that around the time I started getting these emails, my windows machine prompted me a couple of times in a couple of days to re-sign-in to the iCloud desktop app. But the signin requests have stopped on windows, and the emails have continued. Oh, and this desktop currently shows up 4 times in the appleid devices list for some reason.

Anyone have any idea whats going on?

As a last resort I may contact apple support, but 1. I've been apple support before, and 2. the couple of times I've been stumped by apple device behavior, even their highest available support specialist couldn't resolve the issue (Though, I did eventually figure it out on my own)

There is no error or anything when you try to make a post without logging in, it simply sit there w the spinning wheel until you hit cancel. It should prompt to login before user is allowed to compose a post.

And

When logging in, visually, it appears that the instance field defaults to lemmy.world, however the field is treated as blank

And and

Had to navigate away from login page after the above issue left the page in a faulted state and wouldn’t let me press “login” again after filling out the instance field.

Programmers aren’t necessarily engineers tho, software engineers are, but not all programmers are software engineers. Even then, lots of people are trained as SEs and then just end up programmers.
