People can have a rich spiritual life and not believe in religion.
Really important work! Thank you. The EU is good had holding the vultures accountable but USA continues to let them thrive.
Thank you! So many people do not realize that this is coming to everyone who invests in digital games like this.
Discussions in the past about not being able to access digital gaming content that users had paid for...
I have a recollection of some long threads about some companies discontinuing gaming content and members of Lemmy having strong feelings and evidence about all this. I have been trying to search these older threads up but I can't find them. Does anyone remember these conversations? What companies were involved? Games? How much data was basically disappeared?
I will spend it educating people that we write fifteen dollars as $15.
Forgive me but the Pi is an order Of magnitude better than the dinosaurs you mention.
I always appreciate the memes that show up at Lemmy, but this meme reduces the amount of effort that also goes into earning some merit badges. I think it’s funny but kind of tone deaf.
I collect actual media files — it’s easy and perfectly reliable. We’ve been doing it since 1997. Why do anything else?
So… when I want to control content I’m consuming, I get the .mp3 or .pdf or whatever it is I’m interested in.
How is grayjay a more reliable manner of being in control of my content on cross country drives ir wherever? I’m not tracking here. Why would anyone choose grayjay over simply controlling their own drives?
I’m sure they have an app to help you understand.
Nope. Just like living. Not sure what all the hoo-haw’s about. Never felt so old in my life.
Who doesn’t like hand feeding the fish? Why even have them?
That’s true. It doesn’t.
I like the idea that some folks have entirely private systems run by raspberry-pi. That sounds fun.
But what can it do more easily than an mid 20th century home can do?
Okay — can anyone — and I mean anyone, please explain to me that allure of the so called home assistant. Our home was built in 1965. Its housed many families very comfortably. It houses our family very comfortably. Our kids are heading off to college. Tra la la. We have holidays, happiness, and we contribute to the community at a variety of events. We sleep well. Eat well. We host parties of up to fifty people sometimes… we have a yard.We have a dog, two cats, fish etc. All the things that happen in a home.
We are happy.
We have no so called smart products. We use a terrestrial radio in the kitchen on the daily. We stream from the rip-off services when we desire. We are up on the shows etc. So we have internet — each of us has a phone and a device for working. I just don’t get it.
What is the allure of the so called smart home etc?
The BANK OWNS THE HOUSE. The young family you are so pleased to murder pay a mortgage each month.
Also — there’s no sex because of screaming infant.
No intimacy because of overtime.
No free time because of responsibilities.
These so called homeowners don’t even have time to figure out the Fediverse.
Pity them!
Armed soldiers in mountains near LA
Decades ago my friends and I stole a car in Los Angeles and took a drive into the mountains just outside of LA. I was in high school and this was BEFORE all celular proliferation so we didn’t know where to go or what to do — we were shit thieves and one of us saw keys in a car and we jumped on it. Anyway — we ended up heading up a what I remember as a mountain road — and it couldn’t have been where Griffith park is or the Hollywood hills — likely, now that I think about it, we were so scared where headed east on the 210.
We figured we wouldn’t get caught if we just took the car into the mountains and drove home in the morning. Kidsarefuckingstupid
Anyway — the road we were on turned into a dirt road and we came around a bend and our headlight lit up two soldiers in full gear — helmets and automatic rifles so we stopped and they started screaming:
TURN AROUND AND LEAVE!! Leave now!!!
We left.
And got close enough to home to ditch the car and walk.
But this isn’t about our idiot joyride — this is about WTF soldiers.
Can anyone connect these dots? What were the soldiers doing?
(Also — I shared this because I MISS LA and I come to this community and find no post for a month! Shame on you! :-) but seriously — expates need your pics of parks etc.)
Can this drive work with raspberry Pi -- links to how-tos appreciated

What is the Lemmy instance that's focused on educational videos?
I might also be thinking of a PeerTube instance. Focused on education. Does anyone remember the name? Thanks.
A tool/device you plug into socked and it emits an alarm if the power goes off?
Come on you tool lovers out there. Has anyone heard of the device I described on the subject line? Anything close?
Difference with "Select" and "Copy" availability between browsers
It is my hope that Privacy is the community for this. I think freedom to use browsers the way we intend is a privacy issue.
We have likely all seen or heard that the “Select All” option has been removed from Safari — don’t hate me, I won’t be doing apple again.
That said, manual SELECTING of text still exists.
Here’s the privacy issue:
When I SELECT a small amount of text, I am offered the COPY option.
When I SELECT a few hundred words, even at Gutenberg, I’m given zero time to hit the copy button.
Just now I shifted to Firefox and had zero problem doing what I needed to do.
Could other interested folks confirm this SAFARI bug/irritant/annoyance?
Here’s the page I was using:
https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/766/pg766.txt
In safari, check what happens if you try to copy five words vs. 300 words.
What's the best tool for discovering what your IP is when you are using TOR?
I've been using some available on the Internet but recently they all look the same and they all ask for CAPTYA which is an obvious attempt to obtain ones true IP.
I'm new to privacy and hoping to learn more.
