Huh? That's... still YouTube, just curated. We thought you had meant an entirely non-Google video platform; leaving YT completely is the goal. All I can think of is PeerTube, or the paid service Nebula.

By the way, ads are easy to defeat: use any Firefox-based browser (like Firefox or Waterfox) with AdNauseam, or NewPipe on Android. You don't need FreeTube for that (although I do also try to remember to use FreeTube anyway, haha).

PFAS ≠ microplastics! PFAS is potentially worse and can clog up your body for the duration of its lifespan, hence "forever chemicals"... And microplastics have been found in placentas, semen, and the brain and heart... At least acid can get neutralized by a base.

I haven't read the article, but just going off the title, if that's accurate: isn't that how it'd be for any game? I'm not defending it but the only platform I've seen devs give Steam keys to players for ownership on has been on itch.io.

People don't suddenly get rewarded cross-platform ownership just because they bought it on one platform. Same with Unrailed, had it come out on Switch first and Steam later, etc.; they must re-buy if they want it on Steam. Same with Slay the Spire: existing Steam owners don't suddenly gain Android access just because it released on Droid, etc.

Real "AI" doesn't exist anyway. We may as well call it Algorithmic Idiocy.

That must mean you have the original Lilo & Stitch.

Excellent.

I don't think it will ever even happen because the winning party may just always think, "Good, don't vote; that allowed us to win more easily."

Does your family know? (programming.dev)

If so, how did they take it (I'm guessing "not well"), and where do things stand now?

I thrived on daily reading of a few multireddits, which are specific clusters of the same subreddits, as my default view; I only went to the general feed for all of my subscribed communities every once in a while.

For example: https://old.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow+LifeProTips+dataisbeautiful

Is this possible on Lemmy?

Apparently, my phone (which is an intermediary across PCs) didn't sync properly and now I have a couple of sync conflicts of spreadsheets (specifically LibreOffice Calc's .ODS files). These are... kinda large tables I've got here, with multiple tabs.

Normally with .TXT files I can easily use VSCodium's file-comparison feature to instantly spot highlighted line discrepancies on both sides, but how might you resolve spreadsheet conflicts?

Is there no other way than to page down monitor-size by monitor-size in each file, Alt+Tabbing from one to the other and visually inspecting for changes every step of the way until you spot something (hopefully)? I can't think of any less-tedious way...

... apart from, hmm, I guess my own folly in not noting version changes at the top of each file. I guess I'm only used to doing that with actual code... but I may have to start doing so with all synced, regularly edited files...

Check your account; I'm not sure if this was targeted at me or if everyone got offered it, but I used the offer on Slice & Dice after weeks of repeatedly playing its demo and am loving it!

Man, I don't understand why Catfriend1 just puts a literal period or bullet point for the version notes. It always freaks me out into wondering if the account was hacked and if the app was compromised and would cause file deletion or something. This app has become too useful!

  1. Post a comment
  2. Begin editing that comment
  3. Press the pencil-icon "submit" button without actually having edited anything

Expected outcome: nothing happens to the comment
Current outcome: the comment gets a pencil mark

I don't remember how I ended up doing step 3 (I think I meant to edit yet accidentally hit the "submit" button), but that was my observation of this fringe issue, anyway.

  1. Go here https://lemmy.today/comment/14903795
  2. Hold your finger over any of that comment's links
  3. Copy the link

Expected behavior: the share panel should close

Current behavior: it doesn't, which sometimes confuses me into thinking I didn't actually tap the button

It was their first time experiencing VR and one of them said they could play QubeFall for hours! It's such a bummer that that game never made it out of its prototype stage.

We're not? I'd love to see this take down Reddit, as miraculous as that'd be.

If it's in the same line as the username, it gets overrun by the domain (for those of us who like to see user domains).

I just hope that FOSS doesn't become a regular training ground for immoral capitalists to assault.

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 17 points 1 year ago

Well, there was an article I read elsewhere on Lemmy that said that FOSS is an enemy of capitalism by being a cheaper competitor, so capitalist dogs may try to attack FOSS developers' resources and willpower to keep going so they can funnel all of us users over to their paid products.

They will have their own wash cycles/protocols because everyone knows that filth slows things down, especially joints and moving parts. Indoor ones will be programmed to stay sanitary for our sake, so they may even have UV-based self-cleaning capabilities.

They can't perceive any sense the way organic brains do, but they can still pick up on chemical composition; I recommend that you get an air filter with a reactive/smart detection system. We already have carbon monoxide, radon, etc. detectors, after all. They'll be really sophisticated! And they'll cost accordingly...

ik he doesn't care about consent

That's it. That's all your post needed to include. Literally everything else is unnecessary. Your history with your ex is irrelevant to this critical factor.

This is the only piece of information that matters, and it screams, "Hell, no." This man shouldn't exist in your romantic space.

Fight the loneliness by working hard over a year to build platonic friendships with groups of people. And then you'll be able to reenter the arena of romance with a level head, unclouded. Don't let loneliness cave your standards down. That almost never leads to anything lasting and satisfactory. I'm sorry for the pain you're going through but the guy you say you're considering will only severely worsen things, based on your descriptions.
