Yeah they got into the supply route and added c4 to all those pagers. Makes me wonder how many pagers or smartphones have added explosives still.

Unironisch korrekt. Braucht aber ein Grundverständnis für den eigenen Verstand und wie er unter der Haube funktioniert. "What you resist, persists." Liebevolle Akzeptanz für alle Gefühle (insbesondere die negativen!) ist der erste Schritt für das Wiedererlangen von Kontrolle.

Naw, I block the string "Musk" in my feed, helps a lot. "Get off" did not trigger it, sadly.

Had one in Germany, they were quite common here. Worked well as a bug zapper, there was the occasional smell of crispy moths...

5 1/4" floppy disk drives had little sensors that would detect a notch in the side of the rectangular disk sleeve (well outside of the round magnetic disk inside). Open notch meant "writeable". Manufacturers would sell "one sided" disks cheaper with missing notch for the backside of the disk to prevent using it. You could use a hole punch to pierce the soft plastic sleeve and make a "writable" hole at the correct spot. The disks inside were identical on both sides, there never was a "one-sided floppy disk", technically. This was during the "C64 and everybody got the games by exchanging floppy disks on the school yard" phase of home computing (ca 1985). Prices for floppy disks mattered a lot back then.

Using a hole punch to make 5 1/4" disks double sided! Saved a lot of money!

Depends on data density. Still got a c64 with a whole box of 5 1/4" floppy disks. Last time I checked every one I tried worked fine, and they were written about 33 years ago.

No it's not. The common center here is the center of our galaxy which both orbit. Even if the sun wobbles a miniscule bit there is no common orbit between them.

If you think you can open the front window of a 737 above the clouds and the only thing that happens is that your tie is slightly blown to the side then you have a very limited grasp of reality.

I don't know. In my country no gas can be paid unless the nozzle has been placed back. The machine registers as "still pumping", and the gas station attendant sees this and cannot process the payment. Why you would do this any other way baffles my mind.

Well put, however I find code formatting itself has a shape, texture and smell. How the programmer weaves the patterns of formatting tells a lot about his mind and style.

Knew a programmer that was near blind who only used magnifier on maximum zoom with his IDE. One of the best programmers I met, but his screen looked very much like that. Don't know how he did it.

Because I don't want to be bombarded with ads and "did you consider this offer" shit and take 5 minutes to use some usability nightmare? Because I do not want to touch a greasy screen that 362 people used today without washing their hands after taking a shit? Because I do not support corpo greed that will not rest until every employee has been fired?

Yeah you'll get downvoted, because spending 5k on cold hamburgers from McDonald's ist not something anybody would do. It's something an idiot would do. Everyone with two brain cells would have started calling large restaurants or catering providers and ask them if they can make something happen.

My experience is: If you don't want x to happen with computer systems, make it physically impossible. Cut the internal USB cables or super glue them shut.

Jokes aside this is a real instinct of great chefs - taste everything. I remember seeing a documentary with Gordon Ramsay in which he visited Middle America and investigated the drug trade. In a scene some drug cook mixed diesel fuel with raw cocaine and Ramsay - clearly without thinking- dipped his finger in and tasted it. Instant regret, but he really couldn't help himself :)

It's actually a Caipirinha. I think I remember drinking a freshly juiced one at a bar once.
Hi lemmings, did anyone make the effort to gather a list of (major) Reddit communities and their equivalent on Lemmy? Some obviously just kept their name (hail anime_titties, which is NOT what you think it is :)), but with others I cannot seem to find similar communities in Lemmy. If anyone knows of such a list I would be much obliged, especially anything that would be frontpage material. Cheers! *Edit* Found https://sub.rehab/
