Different industry, but in my graphic design business I've had a couple small jobs fixing/finishing logos people tried to make with AI. Sounds like you're getting a lot more, but I've been seeing this too.

I had no idea people lived in Petra. I thought it was just a ruin

I have small hands and I hate how few small phones there are now

Are we ignoring the human ears?

Honestly cuter than actual labubu

 

So this has been happening for maybe a week and a half for me. Basically on live streams on YouTube when I go to fullscreen, it instead makes the video take up part of the screen, with the rest black (imagine Twitch theater mode but the chat area is just black).

I thought at first this was a bug in an extension I have which gives a Twitch style theater mode option, but I just tried disabling it and even running Firefox in safe mode. Same problem.

Just curious if anyone else has seen this?

Kind of wild it's just a standard looking D6!

I definitely agree the last two seasons were crazy rushed. No argument there!

I believe that her arc is a conqueror's journey disguised as a hero's journey, and it was done so well that everyone felt betrayed. This thread is for hot takes, so there's mine. 😄

See here's the controversial take. I don't agree with you at all. It was literally built up for the entire series and was the only natural conclusion. She was literally saying "I plan to break the wheel" from the start. That is not language a peaceful person uses. Her goals to begin with were those of a conqueror, and what we got was the natural end of that ambition when it crashes into reality.

I think it was done beautifully, and the fact so many people bought into her side of things and felt betrayed is evidence of how well done it was.

While there were some truly awful moments in the last season of game of thrones, danaerys' arc was not one of them. Her going nuts was hinted at from the beginning and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

I hope they expand the quick play to all difficulties eventually.

I haven't tried it yet. Do you know if it's all the different bosses that can spawn or is it just some of them? Pretty neat idea for an event honestly.

 

I keep hearing a lot about piefed and I'm curious to try it. I really like this instance, though. Is there something similarly hands off out there for piefed?

 

(If anyone knows a better community for this please point me in the right direction!)

My house came with a Frigidaire scratch and dent fridge. I don't know the model but it seems to be the professional line and from my research it seems closest to this one but probably an older model because mine doesn't have a water dispenser.

Anyway, I'm trying to remove one of the door bins because it has a big crack in it I want to glue. I can't get it off though. Everything I've found seems to imply you can simply lift it up, but looking at mine whoever installed this seems to have put them inside a different part of the bin than I'm seeing in tutorial videos. The tab seems totally stuck inside and I can't figure out how to remove it.

Am I boned on getting this out, or does someone know a trick? I'm afraid to pry it away from the side too hard because of the cracked section on one side.

Closeup of tab inside part of the bin. Tutorials seem to imply the part below that is where the tab is supposed to go (with that little roundy part going over and behind the tab).

Bin more zoomed out

 

Is there no way to delete dms, or am I just missing it?

 

I've seen a lot of people on Lemmy singing the praises of proton mail and I've been considering making the switch. I was hoping those of you who use it might be able to give me a sense of the difficulty (or ease) of migrating my current setup to it.

Please keep things simple if you can. I'm not a very tech savvy person and don't understand a lot of the lingo and shorthand about this stuff.

Right now I have a single gmail inbox where I am forwarding several different accounts to it, some from gmail, others from different hosts. I really like this centralized setup, and I have it configured so I can also reply from any of these forwarded email addresses as well (it also automatically replies from whichever email the sender sent to).

Would any of this be hard or impossible to replicate in proton mail? My goal would be to slowly move away from gmail, but it will be a slow transition and I would need my current email addresses to forward to the new inbox as I do so.

Thanks for any insight.

 

I was recently on a vacation in Marseille, and I was really taken by the mayo there. This was often served with frites. Does anyone know a brand I could get in the west coast US that would be similar?

The main difference I noticed was a slight tang to it? Not sure how to describe it better. Hopefully someone has had it. 😅

I originally chose this instance because it seemed to be aimed at people who don't really want to join a specific community. All I can say is I barely ever think about this instance and I mean that as a huge compliment. You guys run a tight ship with almost no hiccups or issues so far. Thanks for keeping the lights on.

 

I've been using duckduckgo for years now with no issues, but today I opened it and realized there were no longer any search results before scrolling. It was all ads/info cards. So I guess I'm looking for a replacement. Any suggestions?

Related: anyone know if there's a way in the Adnauseum Firefox extension to hide ads on a specific trusted site? I like their goal of not punishing ads following the do not track standard, but DDG has crossed a threshold and I now want to blacklist them specifically.

 

Is there any way in boost to browse all communities on an instance other than your own?

 

I'm so impressed with the regular events in Lowland Shore so far. I think they're the best in the game excepting maybe Grothmar. Just like that zone they managed to make almost all of them have some little gameplay twist or gimmick that makes them more interesting than bog standard versions we've seen a hundred times before.

I'm honestly having so much fun exploring this map and just taking it in as it comes. Such a great feeling after years of repetitive meta events that all boil down to the same zerg rush gameplay.

Janthir actually makes me want to log in and get lost in the world in a way I haven't felt for a while.

 

I use Gboard.

The main things I like about it are:

  • Very customizable (I like having number row always visible, and having long press for symbols on each letter).
  • Has gif support built in.

My biggest pain point is:

  • It auto corrects words that are spelled correctly to other words. I type "our" and it changes to "out", I recently typed "purpose" and it changed it to "purple". Autocorrect is awesome and necessary, but I hate that it corrects words to other words and not just typos. I wish I could find a keyboard that has the things I like without this annoyance.

Am I looking for a unicorn? Let me know! 😄

 

I made a comment to this effect the other day. Scrolling through this community, out of about the 10 most recent posts, I see one that is borderline oniony and the rest are just straight up news, mostly US politics-related.

Is this OK? Is this what this community is for? I ask because I want to see can't-believe-it's-real headlines, but if this is going to be another doom scroll bad news sub I'm going to leave and look elsewhere. Just curious to hear people's feelings on this before I do.
