You didn't say, "They are the shittiest privacy company ever."
You said, "They are the shittiest company ever."
If you want to specify a subset, use your words. That's what they're there for.
Didn't they just switch to a nonprofit format, though?
Except they don't support Port forwarding, which is kind of necessary if you torrent a lot and have shit upload speeds like me. Gotta squeeze out as much juice as I can get...
Fucking YES. Good God it's like at this point just STOP. Take a BREATH. And focus on what you have. They need to stop spreading themselves so thin.
They are the shittiest company ever.
You are allowed to hate Proton, but don't be hyperbolic about it. There are far worse companies, just a few of which are Nestlé, Del Monte, and Chiquita (formerly the United Food Company), all of which have committed genocide in the pursuit of their profit.
The last time I checked, Proton has never committed genocide to further their goals.
No, seriously, when I say I can't afford it, I mean I really can't afford it. Like, seriously, my "Fun" budget for each month? 15 dollars. Lol. I'm brooooooooke as fuck, bruh.
You're right. Whoops. Haha. Thanks, I fixed it.
Aside from the reasons stated by other people in this thread, purely destroying something isn't really Microsoft's MO. Theirs is Extend, Embrace, Extinguish Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
You get raises?!
I would love to buy an AMD, but I can't afford it, so I'm stuck with the Nvidia I have.
It. blows.
Oh gods yes.
I get so many bills that are dirty, but also you don't wanna know all the germs that are on a lot of those bills. Another thing I learned from years of working in retail is that people are also disgusting as all hell. Many people don't bother washing their hands after going to the bathroom, or they'll hand you nasty sweaty bills they pulled out of their pocket after walking into a store or up to a fuel kiosk during a >80 °F (26 °C) day, or after working a shift in construction or a factory job or even simply just exercising. Some women will pull cash directly out from under their bra, as if I want to accept sweaty boob money. Yes, they could use a wallet. However, many people don't. Rather, they just shove the cash directly into their pocket or bra and be done with it. Because fuck cashiers, I guess.
Not to mention that the majority of bills out there have at least some trace amount of cocaine or other drugs covering it, though you may not be able to see it.
So, in short, sorry for the ramble but, yes, people are absolutely disgusting and so is their cash.
Retail. has. fucking. ruined me.
/rant lol
Not sure if you're serious just forgot a /s but in case the former I just would like to point out that many people—me being one of them—would absolutely love a second monitor but can't afford it. Hell, I can't afford a first monitor. The only reason I have one is because I bought it back when I had a job that actually paid me a living wage. If it broke down now, I would have issues.
Agreed. While I agree with the privacy and security arguments against cashless payment methods, I'm still for them for the simple fact that as someone who works as a cashier for a living (or some semblance of one anyway), I'm more aware than the average public of just how DISGUSTING cash actually is.
My card is embossed. Then again it's also from a community credit union in southeast Michigan. Lol.
Really? That's awesome! I think I'll check it out. :)
Edit: ...Seriously? They only support Pixel devices? Wow. Fuck this.
I’ve looked at the bomb simulator linked above
I'm not seeing a link. Did it get deleted?
I'd love to try out GrapheneOS (or another OS), but I can't afford a second phone, and there's no way I'm gonna dive head-first into something entirely unfamiliar to me when it's my only method for telephony.
Could someone help me understand the input() function?
I'm currently learning Python and am learning about very basic functions such as int(), float(), and input().
I have the first two down pat, but I'm struggling to understand the last. The example I'm looking at is found at 12:26 of this video:
nam = input('Who are you? ') print('Welcome', nam)
Who are you? Chuck Welcome Chuck
In this case, wouldn't nam be a variable equal to the text on the right side of the = sign?
In which case, if nam is equal to input('Who are you? '), then wouldn't print('Welcome', nam) just result in
Welcome input(Who are you? )?
Obviously not (nor does it work in a compiler), which leads me to believe I'm clearly misunderstanding something. But I've rewatched that section of the video several times, and looked it up elsewhere on the web, and I just can't wrap my head around it.
Could someone help me with this?
Thanks.
Any suggestions for cheap but decent laptops for coding?
I'm currently learning how to code (currently Python, then maybe JavaScript), but I'm not always around my desktop, and learning on my phone is not always an option (also, it can be quite cumbersome at times). Therefore, I'm looking into purchasing a laptop just for learning how to code and stuff.
I don't want to get a Chromebook because I want to be able to wipe the drive and install Linux on it (probably Linux Mint). Maybe it's changed since 2013, but the last time I had a Chromebook, it was a pain in the ass to install even bog-standard Ubuntu on it.
Problem is, I'm also heavily limited by space & budget: no more than 11 in (280 mm) total laptop width and 330 USD base price.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Please forgive me if this is not the right space for this kind of question. Lemme know if it is and I'll delete it. :)
Is it bad form for one person to have 2 accounts on a single instance?
I suppose the answer could apply to any instance, but I'm mostly referring to this one.
Mind you, I don't have two accounts, but I'm considering it: one for memes, the other for serious discussion.
But I'm unsure if that's considered bad form by most people, so I thought I'd ask.
Thanks!
--- EDIT: Also, come to think of it, even if it were okay, would it even be possible to have to be logged into two separate accounts on the same instance at the same time with the same browser profile? :/
Notification count doesn't display right away
Lately, when I load up lemmy.blahaj.zone, the notification bell in the corner of the screen doesn't display a count typically until I load a post or comment.
It's also only a recent thing.
Any idea what might be causing it?
Not sure what other details you might need, so just ask if you think of anything. :)
"Show Context" isn't working?
Howdy, y'all. :)
So, within the last couple of days or so, I've been having this problem where if I click on the notification bell, then the chain icon next to a shown reply, then click "Show context" above the horizontal rule (see screenshot), it doesn't proceed to load the context. Rather, it just reloads the same page.
The strange thing is this doesn't happen with every notification. Another notification I had was from here on the Blahaj Lemmy instance, and that worked fine. Maybe it's a thing to do with federation protocols? Anyway, I'm no expert. I just thought I'd ask. :)
Cheers.
How to open a particular POST on a different instance?
Hello.
I'm extremely tired, so it very well could be that this is extremely simple and I'm just not getting it. However, what I would like to know is how to open a post from a community on one instance on another instance.
For example, here's a recent post from [email protected]. I know that to open that community in the instance lemmy.blahaj.zone, I would merely type into the address bar
lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/[email protected]
However, how would I open that particular post in that community on the latter instance? Is it even possible?
Cheers.
P.S.
I did do some searching on both this community as well as the Reddit Lemmy FAQ page but I didn't find anything. However, I could've missed something. If it's something obvious, I apologize in advance.
--- Edit: Assuming I understand what people are saying, well, evidently, it seems to be a current limitation of the ActivityPub protocol. Perhaps that will change one day. Hopefully soon. ¯\\\(ツ)\/¯
Are there any good Blu-ray ripping software for Linux?
I'm well aware that I can rip most Blu-rays with MakeMKV and then convert to mp4 with Handbrake; however, the former just rips everything raw from the disk so the file size is humongous and the conversion via Handbrake for just a single file is terribly long and puts a lot of strain on my computer.
I've heard that EaseFab LosslessCopy is decent, but they only have a Windows and a Mac version, and I'm unsure how well it'd run under Wine.
I am willing to pay for it, but only as long as it's not a subscription thing. Has to be a one-time payment.
Does anyone know any decent Blu-ray ripping software that fits these conditions and run well on Linux? Specifically, it would be either Pop!_OS or Linux Mint. (I'm still using Windows because I want to figure out some software alternatives before I do so I'm not caught with my pants down, so to speak.)
