Didn’t even know this was a thing, and since I live by multiple monitors, this makes me glad I’ve held off.

And that’s where the term “clicker” came from, as opposed to the more modern “remote”.

Bold move to assume they’ll take cash. Many places gave up on cash during the pandemic and many of those haven’t gone back to taking cash.

I used to hate the “convince” fee companies charged for using a credit card, but when it’s reframed as a cash discount, it’s not as aggravating.

That said, plenty of places are electronic payment only these days. Scary times, given the payment processor monopoly and their ability to determine what you can and can’t buy.

I believe programming.dev is the main instance for all programming related communities that left reddit.

Which is why all browsers cross identify as other browsers. This would make it easier for sites to block and harder for browsers to work around.

After Google approval, what is the size of the tester pool?

Had the same thought. Glad it’s not just me.

You can install the kbin interface as a PWA on mobile, and it works pretty well. There are some kinks for sure, but it’s 100% usable and better than lemmy.

Maybe they care, maybe they don’t, but they definitely value convince over privacy.

Claiming there’s savings just isn’t true in reality. If they came out and said it’s to help reduce energy consumption to save the planet I’d be all in, and I’m still in for this, but it just makes it hard to fully support with the gaslighting as you aptly put.

Coming in hot with the real answer as to why it feels that way on the fediverse relative to the rest of the internet.

Power Toys Run (from the paper toys suite) is a fantastic launcher that’s better than the start menu.

Sshfs to Nas? Does that mean you have a persistent ssh session open from your host and are using it as a file system to a self hosted Nas at your home? Or did I misunderstand that?

I suspect those are OPs urls, and showing them could allow someone to identify the company or site they work for.

Think your commodore 64 is really neato?
what kinda chip you got in there? A dorito?

Every time that lyric gets me. Every word is meticulously chosen. And all of his songs are like that, which is just incredible.

Stack exchange is CC licensed, and they host a lot of user content.

Where do you think is a reasonable price? Search is something most folks use daily, multiple times per day. If the quality of results is good, that seems like a small price to pay. Netflix is pushing 20 a month, and many other streaming services are in the 10—15 range.

Sad thing is, plenty of people will lap this up as a good thing and see it as a benefit. At least at first, until they realize they have to watch some TV based ads before they watch the ad roll on their YouTube video, followed by the second screen showing some banner ad the whole time. Yick.

Can’t argue with that. It’s not cheap, but it’s fully self hosted and works offline and that’s hard to beat.

From kbin, you can just boost it right from the web site.
