I have a habit of using a flashlight to go to the toilet in hotels or unfamiliar places, so I don’t stub my toe or other stupid stuff when doing the nightly toilet sleep walk.

So I grab the flashlight, point it around and notice a glint from the ceiling fan. The ceiling fan didn’t have an IR remote so it didn’t make sense and yup, sure enough it was a little lens that conveniently pointed towards the bed.

Fun thing: We actually signed a waiver that the house uses cameras, since there were a view regular ones on the perimeter for security, which seemed logical. That asshole really tried to play the “but you signed that you’re okay with being filmed” card.

Stopped using them once my girlfriend and I found a hidden camera.

Sueing was much more stressful than just getting a regular hotel. Never again.

Thank you!

Could someone explain what I’m missing here? Seeing this for the first time and it just seems like random words.

We definitely need Blender in the mix as well!

Also Signal, Bitwarden and Firefox.

Coldest was probably -20 °C, hottest around 40 °C.

My comfort temperature is right around 15 °C. Anything higher than 20 °C and I start sweating.

My girlfriend wants to go to Egypt for vacation this year. That’s going to be fun…

Most papers will be in PDF format and may contain colors as well. E-Ink is slowly getting there, especially with the rise of digital comics, but for the time being I wouldn’t trade my iPad and Pencil combo.

I see what you mean, but there’s also a large number of lurkers, who will only vote but never comment.

I don’t think it’s unfeasible to have a small number of comments on a highly upvoted post.

It is a pretty big deal. What it essentially means is that you are completely exposed, if you pardon the pun.

And yes, absolutely everyone with basic IT skills has access to this data as it is shared across instances. All it takes is a couple minutes to deploy a docker image and boom, I’m somewhat of an admin myself.

The fact that this data is stored in plain is a major security and privacy issue that makes me rethink this platform.

“Curating” makes it sound like you are some kind of porn connoisseur.

I mean let’s be real: Anyone with a fraction of self-respect would walk away from this dumpster fire after being repeatedly called noise by the idiots running the website.

But on the other hand I have to admit that Spez was completely right. This did blow over rather nicely for Reddit, since any publicity is good publicity and it seems like most of it is business as usual minus actually good apps.

Thank you Ruben!

It seems like the future for Lemmy is pretty bright with all these amazing apps switching over.

It’s a shame that Christian decided to not develop Apollo for Lemmy for the time being. I bet that would also convince a fair share of users to abandon ship.

I once handed in a citation from an answer to my Stack Overflow question.

Something along the lines of… “After hitting a roadblock the community at Stack Overflow was consulted, as suggested in the lecture, and deemed the task not feasible [1].”

The answer I put in the reference was one of the many variants of “Who in their right mind would do this in Matlab? Use Python instead.”

I passed lol.

Just want to throw Connect for Lemmy into the mix as well. The dev is incredibly responsive to user reported issues and feature requests and it’s already a pleasure to use.

What you guys over the pond really should learn sometime soon is that free speech doesn’t mean that you can spew any random vile bullshit without repercussions.

In the Fediverse those repercussions are that your audience will be limited to the instance you chose, which honestly considering the content we are talking about is really mild.

Some of the stuff I’ve seen would definitely be illegal in Germany and Austria, and trust me, we have more experience with Nazis than we ever wanted. We have laws in place to at least try to prevent the resurgence of Nazis and this also affects servers like lemmy.world that are hosted at Hetzner in Germany I believe. Not defederating from these people could cause legal repercussions for the server owner and it’s just not worth it, considering the content we are talking about.

I’ve gotten to old and busy to give two shits about someone’s background as long as it’s not pushed in my face.

If I come across racist, homophobic, warmongering, outright Nazi or tankie stuff among many other things, I simply block the person/community and move on with my life.

I used the power delete suite to leave a nice explanation of Lemmy and ways how to migrate as well as a last happy fuck u/Spez on my main account.

My NSFW account has an even more elegant solution: Each and every post or link was edited to a highlight reel of the 2 girls 1 cup video, with no warning whatsoever.

Both accounts have been abandoned in this state, good luck restoring the OG content.

But just you then just buy a worthless piece of plastic nowadays, because the license key was already added to Steam, GoG or whatever?

I honestly don’t get the obsession with physical media. That’s a thing of the past, my PC doesn’t even have a drive anymore.

The only benefit I see is a reduced download size, but with day one patches sometimes being 40+ GB that’s also not always the case.

It’s not like you own the game, just because you have a physical copy of it. Once the licensing servers are shut down that disk becomes a paper weight, and that is if it doesn’t require a constant connection to begin with.

On the other side you could argue that it’s better for the environment if we finally get rid of all disks. Is it a huge impact compared to everything else? Probably not, but it is a step in the right direction.

A KÄSLEBERKASSEMMEL BITTE!
