The first I bought for myself was a PNY XLR8 GeForce GTS 250 in 2010. It tided me over for 4 years, until my power supply gave a loud POP, and I replaced pretty much the whole build just in case the other parts were damaged (or caused the damage).

Click through to the website! It's not a lemmy-embedded poll. I was confused at first, too.

What are your favorite charities? What do you regularly give to? I have some empty space in my "secular tithing" budget that I'm looking to fill in.

On the other hand... Super Duper Key.

The whole point of thieves cant is that it seems like 'normal' speech to outsiders, though. It just hides illicit meanings within, while sounding like very bland/innocent common (or whatever is used as the mask). Undercommon is immediately noticeable as foreign and pointed out.

You heard it that way because that's because that's the end of 1 Corinthians 13:11:

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

C.S. Lewis is playing off of a Bible quote and that became its own thing.

Both Gmail and Outlook have dipped into having 2+ sidebar menus, with one of them permanent. And for both, it's to shoehorn in features/flows that aren't the thing I'm there for (e-mail).

First time encountering one! I'm almost impressed how you can write about something as technical as Linux in the writing style and cadence of shady medical supplement ads for the elderly, including bolded accusatory questions and poorly-supported italic statements placed mid-sentence.

Yeah no shit those metrics will skew towards Gen Z being more victimized if you’re lumping cyberbullying into the mix!

They're high in each of those categories individually, not (just) if you add the categories together and compare the totals. Millennials are slightly higher in Romance scams and identify theft though.

BUT these numbers are also self-disclosed. I'm not sure how you'd correct for this in a survey, but I could easily believe that these two generations are simply more likely to realize they've been victimized, and have a higher exposure to the internet (and thus to scams).

I'd be more interested in something like a sit-down test, to be honest. It'd be easier to account for time spent online and self-awareness of victimization, and more likely to isolate "internet street smarts", as far as I can tell.

I always sort of read those jokes as illustrative as GLaDOS being a bad person fielding weak material more than like, an earnest expression of the game writer's values. Like, the game itself doesn't present the remarks themselves as funny so much as GLaDOS being rude, snippy, and actively incorrect given that Chell is mega-fit.

Their website doesn't seem to specify which GSM bands it has (simply "More Bands and Band-Combinations for better reception"). I want to know how much of a given provider's spectrum I'd be missing out on trying to sneak one of these to the states.

Phones are getting better support lives these days, but they still physically outlast their software support. How important is that safety net/blanket for you?

The Pokemon go plus+ (yes it's two pluses) is a little device, sorta like a flattened PokeBall, rather than a service.

It'll happen if Lemmy gets big enough. I only worry about search engines getting tangled in the natural duplication of Lemmy posts.

Like, if a web crawler sees a Beehaw post, and then seees Lemmy.ml's mirrored page of that same post, could it just show up as two different results? Could it work against the SEO in that it gets marked as "duplicate" or "spam" content in some way?

My profile currently shows that I've made 1 post and 11 comments, which tracks with what I remember doing, but only two of those comments (and no post) seem to be showing up in my profile when I view it. Has anyone else had part of their lemmy history vanish into the ether?

Basically 2.5 minutes of condensed free association.
