It’s called Geddit and billed itself as the new front page of the internet.

I didn’t put much thought into it, I just wanted to try Lemmy.

Shark Attack 3: Megalodon

Bud, a former president of the US has been indicted for 70 crimes in three different criminal cases, and is likely to be indicted with up to 8 additional crimes in a fourth case. This is the biggest set of indictments since Nixon. The notion that you would expect this not to be major news or that merely reporting on it suggests bias is mind-boggling.

It certainly leads credence to Steven Colbert’s claim, “Reality has a well-know liberal bias.”

One time, a Windows 10 update unmounted my wife’s main drive and decided it would only boot to the backup copy she had on another drive. That was a fun one to troubleshoot.

90% of internet has always had ads

And we were content to be back when it was a single banner. But then they started flashing, and crowding the screen, and popups that got so obtrusive they would sometimes spawn forever and crash your PC.

You are almost certainly using a browser with a popup blocker, because advertisers can never just let it be: they need to become more and more obtrusive until they start harming their customers. Protecting yourself from ads is a necessity.

Every modern browser has that built in, and phones actively block most of it. Unless you’re surfing the internet on IE4 or whatever, you are already filtering a good chunk of the dreck, because someone else saw fit to protect you from it.

Yes, the internet has always had ads, and us not being ok with it is why you’re able to browse at all without infinitely spawning popups in front of you.

Also, you realize you’re posting on an ad-free platform?

And Amazon is just going to switch to KABLAM!

“A windowless room contains three identical light fixtures, each containing an identical light bulb or light globe. Each light is connected to one of three switches outside of the room. Each bulb is switched off at present. You are outside the room, and the door is closed. Before opening the door you may play around with the light switches as many times as you like. But once you've opened the door, you may no longer touch a switch. After this, you go into the room and examine the lights. How can you tell which switch goes to which light?”

The solution is:

• Turn two switches on, leave one off
• Wait a few minutes
• Turn one of the “on” switches off

Now, when you enter the room, you’ll have one lit bulb, one warm unlit bulb, and one cold unlit bulb, letting you solve the riddle.

Typically that’s only a problem if you buy non-dimmable bulbs. There are LEDs made specifically for dimmer switches.

Then set up your own instance with no bots, and defederate with any instance that uses bots.

It appears that most people here don’t agree. I have the one repost bot blocked because it was just filling up TIL, but otherwise I don’t personally care as long ad they’re not intrusive.

Kevin in the movie was afraid of the police. He believed he was guilty of making his family disappear and that the cops were after him for stealing a toothbrush.

He actually does call the cops later in the film, pretending to be his neighbor.
