I want my mother to be able to upload videos of the kids and watch videos others have posted. Friendica fails at this first hurdle, it’s simply not user friendly enough to do that.
I have been waiting years for something to come along that can do this well.
Around two years ago reddit effectively banned most third party apps. That was when Lemmy went from a handful of instances with 1000 or less active users (mostly those banned from reddit), to tens of thousands of users and hundreds of instances in a short space of time.
People here are saying there are dozens of people here who came from reddit, but I’d guess it’s dozens of thousands, a pretty decent proportion of active users.
This article says it did it by disguising itself as a web crawler. So can I just set my user agent to googlebot and paywalls will disappear?
In New Zealand it’s pretty common to have a midwinter Christmas, even if you have never lived in the Northern Hemisphere. Not that everyone or almost everyone would do it, but in my experience most people would have at least heard of the concept (and I know people who do it most years, and others that do it occasionally).
This is in addition to, not instead of the normal summer Christmas.
Based on the place (a supermarket rewards card), I’m assuming legacy code. But you’re right, the most likely answer is it’s shitty legacy code.
I considered database stuff, but my password shouldn’t go anywhere near the database!
If they are storing it as plain text in this day and age, then there is no hope for the human race 🤦
I was on the internet early enough that I had a four character, all lower case password to my emails and it never complained once.
I have nearly 800. I think I need to do some cleaning.
I got a “we’ve had customers accounts breached, please update your password” email the other day.
They specifically called out you can’t use # in your password, and it’s been bugging me why that is. What part if their system let’s in other special characters but # is off limits?
I spent ages buying games on steam with Bitcoin years ago. They dropped it when transaction fees got bigger than the game cost (I don’t think they ever supported crypto other than Bitcoin, and that was through a specific payment processor that took the Bitcoin and gave Valve real money).
Yeah except for the people around you trying to work as you jibber jabber 😆
This will depend on your work. All my work is on the computer. Showing someone something is as easy as sharing my screen (and this might even be better, as I can draw on it).
And I don’t agree online meetings are useless. All of my team work from home most of the time, and we work out how to make that work.
Having half the group in the office and half joining remotely I think is the worst of both worlds.
Might be worth having a look at this list of banking app compatibility: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compatibility-with-grapheneos/
I live in New Zealand and there are many 24/7 McDonalds in busy areas. Clicking randomly on their NZ map it’s pretty easy to find them: https://mcdonalds.co.nz/find-us/restaurants
It’s the same with Australia: https://mcdonalds.com.au/find-us/restaurants
Actually, the same for the US. It’s not hard to find 24/7 ones (you need to search for a city before they show on the map): https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/restaurant-locator.html
Are you saying that there are not many McDonalds that advertise 24/7 service, or that they advertise this but don’t actually provide it?
They have over 40k locations. Many are 24/7. They also surely churn through employees, have many part time employees, and probably get many more applicants than they hire.
The employees will be hired by the franchisees but they still use the McDonalds software.
Millions is not a surprise to me at all. Perhaps that it’s tens of millions is a little surprising, but it still seems within the realm of possibility.
From random searching around it seems lanes haven’t necessarily changed (basically this route is still used) but technology helps a lot. There are definitely fewer icebergs at that location these days but despite many reddit commenters claiming none it seems there are a few icebergs that make it there: https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/sites/default/files/images/iip/data/2017/20170426_NAIS65.gif

Apparently radar makes sure ships know about any icebergs well in advance, and there are also ice patrol planes and satellite tracking to make them pretty much a non-issue. Unless you’re the MV Explorer cruise ship that sunk in the Antarctic after hitting an iceberg in 2007. But that was outside of shipping lanes and monitoring areas as far as I can tell.
For sad reasons, yes. Probably a lot lower chance than it was 100 years ago.
Yeah the cache as part of used memory theory didn’t stack up. This comment (sorry, Lemmy probably doesn’t handle the link well) showed 54GB in use, 30GB cached, and 13GB available. 54+12 = 67GB total so cached doesn’t seem to be counted as in use since it should be counted as free (mostly).
In the end, I’m pretty sure it’s a memory hog website. It kept filling up until GNOME crashed and I lost my progress (I was trying to order prints for 1000 photos on a horrible website that made me change settings one photo at a time, and the longer I took the more RAM filled up).
Anyway the fact that you can’t run Linux with 16GB is weird
I mean, it runs fine. It’s more how I’m using it. Firefox 4GB, Element 1GB, Signal 1GB, Beeper 1GB, Steam 2GB, Joplin 1GB. That’s all just open and idle (chats and Steam don’t even have windows, just background) and are the minimum I would have open at any point. That’s already 10GB. By the time I open a couple of windows in a Jetbrains IDE or a particularly demanding website and suddenly it’s suffocating.
Is it? With the advent of cloud storage, it seems that is the easiest way. Any cloud storage, any OS, its the concept of cloud storage that solves this problem.
