I have experienced the same login bug on the Mlem app as well. One of my devices stayed logged in and is working perfectly; my other device logged me out of lemmy.ml and I have not been able to log back in on that device.

Not daily, but weekly or so.

My dad had a little leather zipper pouch with two or three nail clippers and files/blades in it; a small pocket sized nail care set.

I used it weekly when I was a kid (every time I’d visit his place), probably from 9-17 years old, and then he gave it to me when I moved out on my own, so I’ve probably used it weekly non-stop for about 30 years at this point.

Electronics are tougher as they just don’t last as long; I used a Dell 24” LCD from 2006 all the way until 2022, so 16 years? It even failed around 2015 or so (power supply died) and I ordered a replacement PSU, resurrecting it. That monitor was my PC monitor and TV in college, and just kept kicking.

People like to hate on React these days… don’t read into it too much. As always, it’s the person wielding the tool, not the tool’s fault.

No it’s worse than that. All iOS browsers need to use a Safari (WebKit) web view as far as I understand. So any browser on iOS is literally just barebones Safari with a different UI and possibly a different user agent.

In fact, until recently this was even worse as Safari on iOS enjoyed some accelerations/optimizations that the web views did not get to leverage; so for a while all iOS browsers were not only Safari, but they were slower Safari.

Yep, the new Bravias with Android TV or whatever give you a choice as a part of the first time setup that essentially disables all the smart features. I had the same experience.

Cutting Edge Engineering is one of my favorites. Basically an Aussie couple that runs a machine shop where they do very large repairs on parts for heavy equipment. Loads of lathes, milling, boring, welding, all explained and filmed perfectly.

A keyboard: https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/the-key-company-tkc1800-mechanical-keyboard-kit/FP/ukYPnSQCS4m2XTs4b2HM_NDVyWAnT7qyynmBGRaiA_PC.png

I bought it as a kit directly from The Key Company. It’s a modernized version of the Cherry 1800 and it runs QMK. I have Box Pinks in mine at the moment.

Yeah but there are too many brands out there to choose from; as a consumer our only power is to speak with our wallets.

Corporations don’t get to pick and choose which actions from them result in lower sales; all of their actions are judged, and by all potential customers.

Maybe not as bad as the others…

I’ve been a NOFX fan for about 25 years; still am.

Their whole Vegas shooting country music joke was really hard to wake up to & read as a fan. Also the ripple effect that had on the other bands playing with them; the shows getting canceled; it was all a huge shitshow.

Having said that, I’m sure NOFX themselves have done more fucked up things than that joke, but the timing and lack of sensitivity was really a gut punch (not just to the fans, but the people of Vegas and the victim’s families).

Yeah I feel the same.

So at least on an iPhone (I think Android does this too if I recall from when I had my Pixel 3XL) the payment uses a one-time use card number if you use Apple Pay; I didn’t have to sign up for an account, and the Taco Bell app only has my email & first name (pretty sure you can give a fake email too as it asks you to enter name/email each time if you have no account), and that’s it. The friggin’ Taco Bell app has less of my data than most apps actually.

I actually installed it as a joke (my wife hates Taco Bell), and ended up liking the ordering process, go figure… it’s fun for a once in a blue moon fast food order.

 

I published a new iRacing site last night, maybe someone here will think it’s useful?

https://whenrace.com

I like racing in some of the low participation series on iRacing (Kamel GT, GT Challenge, Mission R, etc.) I wanted a site where folks could reference the SoF race times for their favorite series, and with a short URL that would be easy to share in iRacing text chat or even verbally. So I came up with “when race?” I used the list compiled in the forums by Ellis Spice as a starting point and will continue to evolve it as time goes on.

When you choose a series, the URL updates too so you can share a direct link to a specific series: https://whenrace.com/gtc
