The digital national ID is not corporate or government snooping. If you believe it is, I don't think this conversation can continue. What it is, is what's needed to log into your doctors system to schedule an appointment, or the schools system to read updates about your kids, or to log into your online banking. All of that, and more, in my country, is using the same ID system, which won't work on a rooted android phone (at least, I haven't been able to make it work for the past 3-4 major versions).

So, once again, more ~~white~~ "grey" space and less content. Yay boo.

Yes but do they support the digital national ID and SSO apps that are (only) avaliable for android and apple? Until they do, a lot of users are going to be locked into those two big OS vendors. 😞

You could definitely use lemmy for dating if you wanted to. But dating apps offer eg. geographic filtering and (at least should!) do a much better job of guiding users to make meaningful profiles. Lemmy has no need for such.

Agreed, OkC used to be quite all right but they took away so much of what made it unique.

I would be interested in such scripts. Why not share them here? 🙏

I looked into this not too long ago. Got them to share their user profile numbers - 50k - but I've a strong feeling that the majority of those are dummy test profiles.

The names of their products are really something!

That said, I'm thrilled that something like this exists and am hella curious about its day to day working.

That is depressingly insightful. See also: the internal war on everyone who isn't a middle-aged white cis het man (and even some of them, too). Just negativity all around.

What really brings me down it's the certainty that even if that is guy was suddenly not there anymore, there is a whole gaggle of like folk ready to continue that same rhetoric. How do you even dig yourselves out of that?

I have commented stuff like this before, and gotten it deleted (or gotten summarily banned). I have been searching for spaces where this sort of discourse is even allowed, where non-vagina-havers get to say that many men suck but it's not only their fault and they certainly can't fix it in a vacuum.

For any pro sport known for rowdy, destructive fans - the clubs get to pay for the police and insurance expenses.

Oh, this would bankrupt the clubs, I hear you say? Oh no. Anyway...!

What mates you think I was overkill to replace a ceo?

🙂 Thank you for bringing up a fun memory.

 

What would happen if I tossed it in the washer (on a cold programme)? Is there another way to get old deep mud (I hope! 😬) stains out of this unknown synthetic fabric?
Where else should I ask?

 

This is likely a very niche request, but perhaps there's a genius here with the answer - or can point me to a better place to ask.

If I want it to look like a web page is loading an interlaced gif over an old modem connection, would there exist some tool to convert a given static image to an animated gif (preferably downsampled to 256 colours)?

You know, the one where it starts off as one giant coloured block which then gets progressively segmented into thinner lines with more detail as each interlaced line is received...

 

From my understanding, (a) the brain has no nerves, which is why you can talk to people while doing brain surgery on them; and (b) headache is caused by blood vessels constricting. Now, I am unsure whether migraines are also caused by blood vessels constricting, but in any case - what is it that is doing the sensing of this pain? Or is it a(nother) case of the brain just making shit up because it hates me?
