Anecdotally I have the impression a lot of North American Lemmy users are technology professionals and enthusiasts in their 40s and 50s and therefore many would also be Trekkies from the 20th century.
What a coincidence, I was watching Family Matters last night and Carl tells the same joke. It’s in season 1, episode 19 “In a Jam”, starting at around 11m10s. Terrible joke, lol.
Orders open November 16th at 10am PT… will it be possible for a normal person to order one, or have the bots got this one in the bag already, I wonder.
I started slashing my 7s and 0s in university; it’s just easier to distinguish them thanks to the abundance of Greek letters, symbols, and notations used in engineering. Also my bad printing was further marred by constantly nodding off while taking notes, so anything to improve clarity.
The president and CEO of CBC/Radio-Canada defended the public broadcaster and its independence Thursday from a fresh barrage of pointed Conservative questions about its coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
So this is what it looks like when Google prioritizes a fix. Neat!
Google from the article:
Thanks for sticking with us. Our team is looking into this storage issue affecting some Pixel devices running Android 14 and we’re working hard on a fix. We’ll update this thread with more details soon.
This happened to me. My phone was acting strange so I restarted it. After unlocking, it said ‘Phone is Starting’ for longer than usual. Then it said ‘Factory Resetting’, and shut down....
The article talks about users of multiple OS profiles which many use to separate work from personal data. I’m wondering does using applications like Insular, Shelter, or Island also make you susceptible to this bug?
I’ve installed Insular, but have been too lazy to set it up yet, likewise I’ve been slow to push the ‘upgrade to Android 14’ notification.
Canadian dental associations say they want more details about Ottawa's plan to provide dental insurance while preserving existing private and public care.
I like my dentist and all, and I’m grateful my job and my wife’s combined insurance gets our family covered, but what a racket dentists have going on; boo hoo for them 🎻🎻🎻.
It feels like not consulting them would definitely keep costs lower, since last time Dentists were consulted they opted out of universal healthcare altogether.
Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, in his first remarks after being elected Wednesday afternoon, told Members of Congress that “Scripture” and “the Bible” are clear that they have been “ordained” by God.
So the Republic of Gilead may actually happen? Are there enough checks and balances left to stop the US from becoming a Christian Saudi Arabia? Is it time to leave Canada before their destiny is manifested all over us?
Connect for Lemmy. It’s a lot like Relay for Reddit was. And it lets you block users, communities, instances. I still have Thunder app and the /kbin instant app installed, but after the first month I rarely use them. Connect is great.
Seems like the feeds are more active and I’m not hitting things with 3 upvotes 20 minutes into my scroll. Did Connect change something, did Lemmy or are we just seeing some population increase from Boost?
I had auto update for relay pro disabled in anticipation of the change, but just tried to open it now, and it forces the update to continue. So I uninstalled. Crazy I’ve used it since the beginning when it was called Reddit News.
14 years on Reddit was long enough though. I tried to stop scrolling it for years, so I’m happy the changes were more than enough to make my quitting stick.
I am aware of this aspect, but all four of us would have to be non-symptomatic people, which I find highly unlikely; we just mask, vax, hand-wash constantly, and avoid crowds. I was certainly knocked on my ass by each vaccination. Other circumstantial evidence that we probably haven’t had it yet is that none of us have had a cold in 3 years either, thanks to our pandemic habits and precautions. It’s been great.
Wife works from home, and I go in a 2-3 times a week to a downtown office building, so I don’t lose my cube. Kids stayed home for the first year, but returned after that. They still choose to mask up at school, even though it’s no longer required - incredibly they don’t get bullied for it.
They’re in baseball, hockey, and basketball sans masks this year though, so I brace for a covid impact whenever I see headlines about new surges. I’ve always assumed my kids would be our covid vector. I’m certainly tempting fate with these comments 😂
Yikes, wtf. My comment was a non-sequiter pointing out a place where 6 million women don’t get the choice to turn their husband down for sex. Sure rape joke bad, but your silly big energy comparison is ridiculous.

Tens of thousands of Canadians were "Alberta bound" as they searched for a more affordable place to live amongst higher interest rates and home prices.
Oh yeah, BC Interior has a lot of scary crazy assholes. They’re sleeper rednecks no one seems to talk about when describing Canadian redneckery, maybe because everyone is distracted by the culture of LML and Vancouver, and it’s easy to pick on Alberta. In my experience they’re much worse than the average Albertan.
Why not have it towed, or call bylaw to ticket it? The truck owner is inconvenienced, finds out why, and the sidewalk becomes usable again. Plus you get to feel better AND not act like the POS you want to see punished.
