Everything search app is easily my most used on my Windows PC. Instant, as-you-type file search by name with detail sorting and wildcard support. I set a keyboard shortcut as well. It puts Explorer search to shame. As good as Spotlight, which I was missing from when I had a Mac in 2008.

LaunchyQT - modern fork of Launchy that actually gets development. App launcher, dead simple.

FanControl - Fan curve software with all the features I want including hybrid temp sources, sensible automatic settings, visual graphs with an intuitive interface.

AutoHotKey - Hotkey scripting language that I can use even as someone who barely codes.

Transcribe! - Not open-source but it's a reasonably priced audio and video slow down app for transcribing.

I watched it and it's intriguing. The characters have similar roles to the real show and speak in similar ways. The problem is that the "writer" has no point of view and therefore the satire was completely missing.

I can only imagine what it's like to be on meds that affect your quality of life negatively both on and off the medication. I hope you consult your doctor before making drastic changes. Perhaps there is a dosage which provides a middle ground.

Losing brain matter sounds scary at face value, but perhaps a doctor could explain whether it applies in every case and whether it is actually a big deal.

Full disclosure, I lost a cousin to paranoid schizophrenia after he moved away and got off his meds, so I am biased.

It can't be harder than Epic was, Amazon has no DRM 99% of the time.

They mean any alternative to first past the post, options being STAR voting, approval voting, or ranked choice. Basically anything that means a 3rd party vote isn't a "wasted" vote.

It is in fact an algorithm because it's choosing what posts to put in front of you based on multiple criteria (time since it was posted, votes/number of comments/time since last comment). They are relatively transparent and well documented criteria, though.

However, it's not a personalized feed based on your interests and unsolicited data collection, which is what people sometimes mean when they say "the algorithm."

I think probably not, because the concentrations of salt and sugar aren't just relative to each other but also relative to the water content. You can eat trail mix, cookies with added sodium, something like this, or a homemade version to replenish carbs + sodium after strenuous workouts, but you will still need to drink water as well.

Absolutely devastated. The shade. 💀

For anybody who was confused like me, this is a Nathan J Robinson parody account, not the actual Current Affairs owner.

The propaganda is people "like" their private insurance and don't want to be "forced" to get rid of it. There is also an anti-tax streak that has existed since the 1700s (no taxation without representation, Boston tea party, etc) that lives on strongest in reactionary politics.

Edit: Oh and last time we tried to actually improve healthcare they scare mongered the public that there would be "government death panels" who decided whether you would get coverage. As opposed to the current reality where the death panels are real and run by private corporations.

Umm, aktually, your phone is digital, my good sir, which means that technically, there is no "film" inside with which to film, only my favorite directors like Judd Apatow use real film 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

The general sidebar and the c/piracy sidebars are empty of guidance. If piracy links were clearly allowed, more people would post them. If piracy links aren't allowed, we keep ourselves safe from C&Ds, legal action, etc.

Right now, we have the worst of both worlds: we are vulnerable to legal action AND there is no clear mandate what forms of piracy are allowed so some people don't feel comfortable doing so, so posts trickle.

These I gather are okay because the sidebar links to r/piracy megathread backups:

  • Links to a directory of sites that host pirated content
  • Links to sites with direct downloads

Are these okay?

  • Links to specific releases via bittorrent
  • Links to specific releases via sites with direct downloads
  • News of specific releases but not linking

Some new users don't even know whether advocacy of piracy is okay. The only thing I've sort of gathered is that in practice, anything goes short of actually hosting copyrighted material on Lemmy servers. And that magnet links are apparently okay according to Dessalines' pinned post (but that should go in the sidebar if true).
