I take my shitposts very seriously.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

Huffman is the face of the whole fucking shitfuck piss, he can shove this “private individual” bullshit so far up his ass that it becomes a choking hazard.

Excuse me, I may have gotten a bit heated.

rtxn,

Assuming that the protesters only visit Reddit to send a message through Place, they are a drop in a bucket compared to the site-wide traffic generated by bots and the people who stayed, do not hinder the goal of sending that message.

“Is this a virus?”

Your 12-year-old brother is more security-conscious than most of the adults I work with.

rtxn,

I’ve used it for exactly three minutes and this is already amazing. I hope it gets integrated into ReVanced and Newpipe.

rtxn,

Kind of. It’s a desktop web front-end to Youtube. I’m not sure whether it blocks in-stream ads (and I’m not turning off Ublock to find out), but it does basically reimplement the Youtube interface without many of its undesired elements.

rtxn,

If you feel so strongly about the matter, feel free to not use it. Or better yet, contribute to the project to bring it up to feature parity.

As for the link - I guess whatever parses the URLs on Lemmy doesn’t recognise .video as a valid top-level domain. All I wrote was piped.video, everything else was added by the website.

rtxn,

You just threw six paragraphs of vitriol at me, but I’m the one who’s screeching? Okay.

rtxn,

They’re about to kill -9 the AI process that wrote this and make all the other processes watch.

rtxn,

SpaceX and Tesla both grew with his continuous involvement. The managers were trained (out of necessity) to keep his “genius” in check without destroying the company or getting themselves fired. In a sense, Musk’s continuous presence gave the companies a form of immunity.

When he infested the bird, the managers didn’t know how to protect it. It was like bringing smallpox to the new world.

rtxn,

The real question is, can I run Doom on my left kidney?

Arthur C. Clark once said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". What technologies do we have today that would look like magic to people from the past?

I think lasers are pretty wack when you think about them through this lens. A small, wand-like object in your hand can make light appear from seemingly nowhere. If it’s powerful enough it can set things on fire or blind people. Not to mention larger ones like laser cutters or the LLD, used to destroy missiles midflight. Thats...

rtxn,

This sphere has an evil magical aura that really wants to tear your body apart. Now watch what happens when I remove the screwdriver!

rtxn,

Our business-critical internal software suite was written in Pascal as a temporary solution and has been unmaintained for almost 20 years. It transmits cleartext usernames and passwords as the URI components of GET requests. They also use a single decade-old Excel file to store vital statistics. A key part of the workflow involves an Excel file with a macro that processes an HTML document from the clipboard.

I offered them a better solution, which was rejected because the downtime and the minimal training would be more costly than working around the current issues.

Now all you need to worry about is all the non-military bio/radio/chemical hazards, the poorly maintained equipment to handle them, and the intentionally loose regulations implemented by lawmakers beholden to billionaires.

rtxn,

I could.

rtxn,

Throwback to that time when Steam for Linux would sometimes rm -rf /* your computer. github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/…/3671

rtxn,

I actually work at a university as a server admin and have direct access to both the PR/event organizer (very susceptible to buzzwords) and the dean himself. I’ll definitely reference this article when I make my recommendation.

rtxn,

I can’t recall the last time a gif made me audibly gasp, but you did it. I hate this so much.

rtxn,

You could post them here and delete them on reddit.

Can Lemmy posts be indexed by Google or other search engines?

One of the best things about reddit was looking for answers or other users with the same problem as you, and since Google didn’t really help with that anymore and instead insisted on giving you business results, the best practice was to put your search terms in followed by ‘reddit’ and you’d find your answer.

rtxn,

I recently saw that someone was making a keyword search engine that works across the fediverse. I’ll try to find the project.

edit: found it, unsurprisingly it’s called lemmy-search. Although it only seems to work on Lemmy instances.

rtxn,

Maybe he can’t upgrade to Wayland.

(sorry about the unsolicited Linux joke)

rtxn,

I'm going back to reddit.

rtxn,

That paragraph is an absolute banger, and even better with the man himself narrating.

rtxn,

Lemmy on mobile Safari sucks

Have you tried wefwef.app? I've only looked at it, but it seems like a pretty lightweight handheld-first web interface.

rtxn,

I feel like that's the case with most tech expert channels. I'd even say Mental Outlaw is relatively mild compared to Distrotube ("if you support open-source, you should also support guns") and especially Luke Smith (holy shit, where do I even begin).

I watch them because their expertise in FOSS technologies is beyond question, but that is where my trust in them ends.

Can't view/delete comments after 7 months? (kbin.social)

My account is only 2 years old so I have been overwriting and deleting the comments manually to try to avoid issues people have seen with the options that use the API. However, all my comments are non-existent in my profile after 7 months? If I click into a thread I can see them but they are wiped from my profile. Any way to...

rtxn,

If you want to completely delete your account, you could try going the GDPR route even if you're not an EU citizen. I've read somewhere that any service that operates inside the EU is required to cover all users, regardless of origin, under the GDPR... but I'm not a lawyer, it might be total bull. Still worth a try.
