Generalize much?

So I just took a small sample (outside of major business districts) with Google maps street view dropping random pins in L.A. and searching for American flags. 0/3.

Same with Paris. 0/3.

I guess I got lucky? People can do their own samples and will likely see the inverse of my results.

Yeah, the pledge of allegiance is kinda stupid and has been cut from most schools at the start of the day. (That is likely regional though.) It's still kinda weird that sports events still leverage national anthems too.

Many people here see hyperpatriotism as kinda weird and is more closely associated with (the bad kind) of nationalism.

To answer all questions like this, it depends on where you go. Some places are worse than others. Culturally important cities tend to be much more 'murica than others.

The US is a big country and it depends on where you are. Usually, expression of patriotism is directly correlated to the number of dualies found in that region.

Anywhere you go, in any country, you are going to find a subset of rabid nationalists.

In my experience, Canadians living in the US are more prone to express their own patriotism by hanging American and Canadian flags. (That is just my experience and also shouldn't be considered a constant.)

This reeks of bias so it's probably of interest: https://typingadventure.com/vive-la-france/

Ukraine could just ask Russia really nice for them to leave the country. That way, they wouldn't need to ask for any more weapons. EZPZ.

The only people I know who are obsessed and delusional about AI are CEOs and LinkedIn shitposters.

DisplayPort support over USB-C.

The problem with .ml shitposting is that it will almost immediately get removed. If it does start to propagate around to other instances, people will immediately recognize it as a troll post and it will get upvoted.

Trolling ml takes finesse and it's the IRL epitome of "opposite day" over there.

Now describe the risks of low blood sugar or high protein diets. Any way you push the needle, there are big words to describe the bad things that can happen.

Eating less processed foods and moving around more seems like better advice than trying to swing eating habits to 11.

sugar is toxic

Sugar is what now? That's a bold claim without specificity.

You are not going to get anywhere near what ATMOS was designed to do from a sound stick and it is pointless as fuck to advertise it as 11.1.4 wItH rEaR sPeAkeRs.

You need a room designed around these multi-channel systems to even get a fraction of their benefits.

ATMOS advertised as magic in anything less than commercial grade systems is a scam.

If I were to research this, I would get conflicting answers likely being between Yes there are, or No, more people are just being diagnosed neurodivergent.

Personally, I am kinda starting to believe everyone is somewhere on some kind of spectrum. The brain is horrendously complex and less well known and proven disorders, it seems kinda silly to try and classify what "normal" should be.

This has been a thing for years now. While I am sure it might annoy some pirates, it's likely aimed at easily executed malware.

I deal with spam filtering on a daily basis and about 90% of it originates from Gmail. Most of that is just fishing/fraud. It would really suck if my users could easily detonate malware attachments, so this Gmail policy is a good thing for me.

 

I have no plans to move from Lemmy any time soon, but I am curious if PieFed integration was being considered.

It would probably make more sense to fork Connect but a "multi-client" would be neat.

 
 

There seems to be a correlation between how long a feed hasn't been interacted with and this behavior. (Scroll up and down a feed; Wait a random amount of time; pre-fetching seems to halt.)

There are times when pre-fetching the feed can be slow and briefly pause while loading. Sometimes, this is when the feed will lock up.)

 

... this happens more often on cursed memes. /s

I can still slide to open the menu, but cannot take action on the feed. (The + button opens in the fore-foreground, so it works as well as 'back to exit' Connect.)

I was playing with the thumbnail preview in fairly rapid succession when one just "stuck".

 
 

Seemingly random. Error may only happen on the first post a new thread. Could be a server-side issue, but not sure.

 

Menu -> Refresh does not cause this issue.

 

I just realized that I have never used an oscilloscope on anything over 50V DC. (There has never been a need, actually.)

The goal is to trace how noise generated by my PC GPU is propagating through the power circuit. As I don't want to start tossing in power filters at random spots, it would be nice to actually understand what is going on first.

TBH, measuring mains AC doesn't seem any different than any other measurement I would take, other than using a 1:100 scope probe. Are there any "gotchas" I should be aware of that would put my scope at risk?

 
 

OMG. This recipe is one of the best I have tried.

 

Our dev does good things. Please help keep the world economy intact by buying him a coffee.

Connect -> Settings -> Scroll to bottom -> Support your dev link.

Nelson demands it.

Edit: A few coffees later and the DOW is up 2k. Coincidence? I think not.

 

Originally, I just wanted to request tagging specific instances as NSFW. This would be helpful for posters on specific instances that do not always tag posts as NSFW but still should get caught by our NSFW preferences.

NSFW isn't always porn so the NSFW filter catches a bit much, sometimes. Excluding specific communities from the NSFW filter is an option, but that gave me yet another idea.

Expanding on this idea, it would be cool to start categorizing communities with tags, like "sports" or "news", "world news" or something arbitrary like "neat".

This would allow filtering by what kinds of content I want to view at any given time, in theory. Hell, we could even start building a master list to share for community categories in GitHub or something like that.
