For sure, as a teenager - interest in music switched from interest in music to finding music videos that got girls in 'em'.

I talked to a guy from Springfield - and he says personally he doesn't think it will make any difference to him whichever one gets in, because right now it's just talk.

So his idea basically is that whoever he votes for, he'd gonna get screwed over again... this is the decline of democracy and the rise of the post-truth politicians... in many ways, watching Trump is like watching Putin's mill putting out news - all fake and contradictory news helping to convince that all news and politicians are fake.

I'd agree with this - for Trump, it's basically just a personality thing and his policies and what he says are less relevant (everyone knows he's just a joker that talks crap... so you should ignore what he ACTUALLY says and trust that he will deliver... sth like that) whereas for Harris, people listen to what she doesn't say and expect that she's hiding the fact that she'll install surgeries in schools to do stealthy operations so she can send Harry home as Harriette...

I do feel more optimistic that the world can be saved from more Trump - but it's not yet guaranteed.

First step to log in is to paste some URL - and https://lemmy.world/ doesn't work for that... another hurdle to exclude anyone not advanced enough?

Very doubtful.

I just tag them when I make them.

Is this thread intended for 1. Android/mobile users 2. iOS/mobile users 3. People with computers/mouse/keyboard or what? It seems most Lemmy threads are pretty exclusively aimed at mobile users.

ROFLMAO - looks like they had a hissy fit.

The main issues (as my best lesbian friend once chimed in with me) are the people who are rather too quick to find offence, in an aggressive way, rather than offer a correction or an explanation, or simply engage in some discussion to confirm their initial suspicions.

2 extra/webapp-manager 1.3.4-2 (91.6 KiB 5.3 MiB) (Installed) Run websites as if they were apps

This works fine for me... I had 4 browsers installed last year, so had a variety - like Plex/Overseer/Sonarr opening with Falkon browser and translate with Chrome.

On a limited connection, I'd advise not updating whilst watching a video. It's also possible to download a video and watch it whilst updating.

Beyond that it's not easy to answer - as I don't use discover, but also never do updates without paying attention, so that watching a video at the same time isn't something I'd contemplate.

Haha marketing is what it is... a joke I made up some 30 years ago was that, despite what we see on the surface - the evidence proves that women are disgusting, dirty, fat, ugly animals that need a vast array of products to be created so that they can go outside without offending everyone...

So yes, you're right to find this ridiculous and offensive - but at the heart of it is simple greed, which is the real meaning of the American Dream.

You're joking, right?

My computer is set to 1. Warn me at 9.25 to accept or cancel suspension at 9.30. 2. Set volume to 10% and suspend at 9.30 (just in case it gets woken up, I once woke it up at 4am and had a radio application wake up the family). 3. RTC Wake set to 5.59 4. 6.25am my wakeup music plays.

I have suspend, also hybrid - where it will suspend, and after a certain time (useful for laptops, mine's set for 12 hours so I never hit this unless I go on holiday) it'll hibernate.

Clever crows... (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by BendyLemmy to c/dadjokes
 

A study had to be commissioned, after finding out that crows are social animals, near a busy highway.

Crows can recognise individual people, they post guard crows on buildings, light poles as they go down to find food.

Anyway, it seems they were ONLY getting killed by trucks on a busy highway, so cameras got installed and recordings were studied.

It turns out that the Guard crows can easily spot a hazard and screetch loudly "Cah!!! Cah!!!. But it seems they were completely unable to shout "Truck Truck".

I felt great, until they told me it was my IQ test.

 

Will anyone think to simply go elsewhere?

Sometimes just a quick edit can lead to an endless 'posting' progress indicator.

Very Confused... (self.lemmyworld)
submitted 1 year ago by BendyLemmy to c/lemmyworld
 

I've got to say - I can't see how this is really going to take off.... It's so confusing.

Let me try to explain a bit...

  1. Tried making accounts, got one on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world.
  2. Saw some interesting feeds, but can't load lemmy.ml (502 error - maybe overloaded). However, the 'Fediverse' is linked up - so surely I should be able to find this user and connect to his post without too much hassle?
  3. Try to visit - he's on vlemmy.net - I can't interact without logging in. My account doesn't work - is it a different account for every instance?
  4. Compared to ten minutes on Reddit, after 2 days I still haven't found content and/or interaction that I want. I kind of understand how cool federated stuff is, but I cannot get to the product.
  • r/firefox r/linux r/angryupvote r/jokes - you know.... stuff!

I follow a link for the user and end up seeing that I am not logged in, but a note says:

'If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.'

I don't understand this - How? Where? There's no context menu...

I AM LOGGED IN here and now... What gives?

If it's this hard for me, I'm sure that this rules out 99% of internet users from switching over... as I'm sure that more than 75% of Reddit users are dumber than I am.

Oh, and finally now I see another notice:

If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.

WTF does that mean? Where did I select, or have an option to select 'Undetermined'?
