Do you sometimes lose your patience when dealing with a co worker or friend who is barely capable of using a computer or smart phone? in c/asklemmy
[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

There are so many other reasons to lose patience with some of my coworkers, tech illiteracy is nowhere near the top of the list. If anything, I like helping people with tech.

The logo in OPs image is definitely the best IMO. There’s an option in the iOS app to use this icon if you wish. Not sure if it’s an option in the web app.

FANTASTIC reference! This movie is so funny and awesome, and it seems to have completely disappeared from pop culture. I never understood why Conan looms so large in our collective memory, but this movie totally vanished.

I’m a Darn Tough sock devotee. Same deal as you. I didn’t want to spend the money for a long time, then I finally shelled out for 8 pairs. This was many years ago, and still wear them daily. I’ve since added a couple more pairs.

You might be talking about Never10, made by Steve Gibson over at GRC.com. It has since been updated and renamed InControl. It now also works to prevent unwanted Win11 upgrades, as well as other things. https://www.grc.com/incontrol.htm

What songs do you like that are in a language which you don't speak? in c/asklemmy
[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I loved Sigur Ros when they first broke the scene around 1999. I thought it was so beautiful, and angelic, and weirdly transcendent. I wondered what beautiful poetry was being sung in this mystical Icelandic language I did not speak. Then, I learned that it’s not Icelandic. It’s not anything. It’s a made up language that means nothing. It shouldn’t really bother me, but I felt like I had been tricked, and haven’t been able to get past it.

More than 26K rape-related pregnancies estimated after Texas outlawed abortions, new study says in c/news

It’s about 7%. That is a lot.

The real question is, what is the overall population growth rate compared with before? I wonder how many people are leaving TX, or (more likely) deciding to not move to TX, compared with previous years.

Thanks for this tip. I hadn’t heard about this before, and it sounds like an interesting thing to add to my tool chest.

so if you browse youtube that can go via a country that does not allow ads.

Can you tell me more about this? I’ve never heard about that this is a thing, and it sounds like a good thing to known

Feature Request: Searching within a community? (lemmy.one)

If this is already possible and I’m just not finding it, I’d be very happy to be mistaken and learn the method. Otherwise, this is something I used all the time on the old site with Apollo and I miss, desperately.

Even with this post, I couldn’t find a way to search the VoyagerApp community to see if this feature was already asked for.

Option for old icon? (lemmy.one)
 

Is there any way to go back to the old icon? I’ve been trying to figure out a way to hack it into place, and I’m sure I can with enough time, but it would be nice if there is just a switch somewhere in settings that I’m missing.

Help getting a locally saved webpage to work correctly? (lemmy.one)

I'll try to make this as short as I can, but with enough info to make sense. Be warned, I am not a programmer or developer by any means. I'm just a hobbyist who spends a lot of time trying to learn on my own.

I'm looking to save "https://scorecount.com/tennis/" locally on a PC so that it can be used offline. I've done the normal "right click, save as" routine in both Firefox and Chrome, which saves the main page (I save it with the name "tennis") as well as a similarly named folder that contains the js, css, and image files. (so, in my case... "tennis.html" and a folder called "tennis_files")

When I try open the tennis.html file, my browser eventually gets to a "we're having trouble finding that site" message. The URL it's trying to reach in the URL bar is "https://driveLetter/path/on/local/drive/tennis.html", instead of the more expected "file:///driveLetter/path/on/local/drive/tennis.html".

I believe I've narrowed this down to something in the tennis.js file (which gets renamed to "tennis.js.download" when I save the page locally). If I remove this file, the page loads, but of course it doesn't actually work. I think something in there is redirecting the URL, but now that the file is saved locally the path it's creating and trying to reach doesn't work.

I've tried going through the js, deciphering all of the array references as best I can, but I'm not able to figure out where this is happening. I'm hoping someone can throw me a lifeline. Thanks in advance!
