bela,

The oniy way his quality has changed since the invention of the wheel is youtube allowing higher resolution uploads.

bela,

But then it’s not π anymore? What am I missing?

bela,

The feature is not available on Jerboa. I imagine it would be too clunky to implement on any mobile app.

Depending on the market share most horses may be blind!

I need to record over some Hi8 tapes; 5 tapes, ~2½ hours each. I can record audio and video directly. What should I put on there? (kbin.social)

I'm getting rid of an old Hi8 camcorder and figured I'd throw in the tapes with it, but I want to wipe the contents of the tapes before I do. I don't have a huge magnet or anything I can use to quickly erase the tapes, so the only option is to record over them using the camcorder. Instead of being boring and just muting it and...

bela,

They want to put something more interesting on it. An easter egg for anyone who might play the tape.

bela,

Idk if you’d bother putting many small things on it but I’d love it if this was what someone saw when they tried to play the tape: youtu.be/BzvtnMNaCZQ&t=17

bela,

Perhaps you blocked it by accident

Phishing Mails (lemmy.world)

This will be a quick post. We have received a phishing mail to our [email protected] mail address telling that they are “lemmy.world Security Team”, telling that they will “disconnect” your account from our instance. This is ofc, not us. Do not fall for it! The attached image is how the mail looks like....

bela,

Legendary. I ought to scam [email protected] for their microsoft account.

Not an exact quote but “Dunning-Kruger effect” followed by an explanation thereof. I hear it’s generally misunderstood as well, but I don’t even care, just please stop explaining it!

Your brain finds it easy to size up four objects but not five — here’s why (www.nature.com)

An experiment found that the brain uses one set of neural circuits to identify the numbers 1–4; these circuits are very specific to their own numbers. A separate set of circuits respond to the numbers 5–9; these are less precise, and are activated by adjacent numbers....

Nope! It produces a horrible clicking sound and does not show up in disks!

On the other hand: Free magnets!

bela,

You joke but…

bela,

This was in an electronics shop’s bin. I’m only looking because people do throw away perfectly good shit! But yeah the owner of a NAS drive probably knows what they are doing. I had some hope for merely bad smart stats.

bela,

Our family has a subscription. I’ve watched a few netflix originals. I would never think to watch them on Netflix. It is so insanely more convenient to just download them and do with them as I please.

I suppose if you’re yarr-illiterate it might be tolerable. Until they start showing ads anyway.

bela,

But would you love me if I was a worm?

bela,

I tried, but none of these have anything going on without the aliens.

I thought this one at least was funny without the blueys. I will take your passive-agressive request to heart.

bela,

Microsoft word is known to do this

I exclusively write my bash scripts in Microsoft word, true story.

bela,

That is one sexy link! Here’s the (bingless) version for anyone interested: roger-pearse.com/…/St-Michaels-Mount-Cornwall-1-s…

bela,

Thanks for sharing! This should be a default startup application on every distro.

bela,

pinches you owo

bela,

I just spent a bit too much time making this (it was fun), so don’t even tell me if you’re not going to use it.

You can open up a desired book’s page, start this first script in the console, and then scroll through the book:


<span style="color:#323232;">let imgs = new Set();
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">function cheese() {    
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  for(let img of document.getElementsByTagName("img")) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    if(img.parentElement.parentElement.className == "pageImageDisplay") imgs.add(img.attributes["src"].value);
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">setInterval(cheese, 5);
</span>

And once you’re done you may run this script to download each image:


<span style="color:#323232;">function toDataURL(url) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  return fetch(url).then((response) => {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    return response.blob();
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  }).then(blob => {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    return URL.createObjectURL(blob);
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  });
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">async function asd() {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  for(let img of imgs) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    const a = document.createElement("a");
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    a.href = await toDataURL(img);
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    let name;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    for(let thing of img.split("&amp;")) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      if(thing.startsWith("pg=")) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        name = thing.split("=")[1];
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        console.log(name);
</span><span style="color:#323232;">        break;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">      }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    a.download = name;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    document.body.appendChild(a);
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    a.click();
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    document.body.removeChild(a);
</span><span style="color:#323232;">  }
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">asd();
</span>

Alternatively you may simply run something like this to get the links:


<span style="color:#323232;">for(let img of imgs) {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">	console.log(img)
</span><span style="color:#323232;">}
</span>

There’s stuff you can tweak of course if it don’t quite work for you. Worked fine on me tests.

If you notice a page missing, you should be able to just scroll back to it and then download again to get everything. The first script just keeps collecting pages till you refresh the site. Which also means you should refresh once you are done downloading, as it eats CPU for breakfast.

Oh and NEVER RUN ANY JAVASCRIPT CODE SOMEONE ON THE INTERNET TELLS YOU TO RUN

bela,

lmk if you run into an issue

This kind of stuff is like an IRL puzzle game. I thought it would be a simple five minute adventure, but of course google has made sure it isn’t! I suppose for 3 stars I would have given it to you in a pdf format, but I fear the man who could do that in javascript.

The image was first used on their site in another article in 2020.

Tineye turns up a lot of usages.

The original seems to be from shutterstock, which also has an alternate angle available. The artist describes it as “Google Chrome homepage on computer screen”.

In conclusion: idk if that’s firefox.

bela,

You forgot to mention spending 20 years alone in a cell after murdering his only cell mate. But it’s okay, so did he.

I've been blocking ads for so long that actually seeing them feels perverse

I use ad blockers and open source privacy focused software whenever I can but occasionally I have to use computers that don’t belong to me or an older phone where my usual applications aren’t installed and seeing all the advertisements just feels dirty and dystopian....

bela,

This is exactly how I feel. Whenever I had to watch a youtube video with ads lately my lovely Hungarian government has not failed once to put a lovely propaganda piece before every single video. It’s insane that people actually live like this.

What I think about is how “surfing the internet” has entirely lost its meaning. When looking for something specific your only bet is your search engine’s 3rd to 7th results (the first two just being ads or “sponsored”), and you need to put in serious effort to discover unique and interesting stuff.

I can not wait for the ad bubble to burst, and maybe then we’ll get some sort of a usable internet once again…

bela,

I don’t think I’m alone in saying this: uhh, what?

bela,

He could have been sitting in the margaritaville dining car the entire ride!

bela,

I watched most of Lower Decks before starting TNG so I’m catching the easter eggs the other way around

bela,

Yes, I did say 15 were enough to keep my respect. Do you really want to just keep it, or gain more with honor?

bela,

Possibly privacy reasons? So it doesn’t load external images unless you specifically ask it to?

bela,

gets thrown out along eith all his buddies.

“Free” achieved!

bela,

I watched this ep a couple days back and I couldn’t for a second remember her name, much less figure out how it would be spelled. Lal sounds about right.

bela,

I installed Mint as dual boot over a year ago and the only reason I ever booted back was one game that didn’t run quite well enough. Of course depending on your wants and needs it may vary, but you won’t know until you give it a shot.

bela,

Dude just stop complaining and flash LibreDog on it. It’s not that hard.

bela,

Prior to the adult life of the individual, however, this is a harmful trait as it only serves to make their teacher angry at them for no good reason whatsoever.

bela,

Every. Single. Time.

Now I just skip straight to scripting it in Python.
