I believe Gutenberg is a visual editor that WordPress uses, it has buttons that let you insert blocks throughout the page I think

Project Lighthouse now has privacy settings. (lemmy.world)
 

Project Lighthouse now has web privacy features, just as the official LittleBigPlanet servers should still have, but don't.

Thanks, Koko for implementing this!

I would, if my Samsung phones didn't have locked bootloaders.

Looking for tips on how to make good levels. in c/littlebigplanet
[–] m88youngling 2 points 1 year ago

A couple of suggestions I have,

  1. Optimize your levels. Use fewer materials, convert props into stickers where possible, and look for ways to bring that complexity down with fewer vertices.

  2. Block out your levels. There's a great guide by this with some tips from the people who made Return to Carnivalia.

  3. It's OK to duplicate parts of your level to extend sections, so long as you do it within reason and in creative ways.

Linux for Microsoft Surface devices. It is reality! in c/[email protected]
[–] m88youngling 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It sounds more like they are suggesting that you shouldn't buy a Surface as to not support Microsoft's stake in the market. But hardware level tracking does sound pretty spooky if they were actually able to pull it off and make it worthwhile. I'm with you though, I doubt it

What are the best Matrix servers for chatting? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

I am aspiring to one day host a chat server of some kind to eventually replace my Discord server. Matrix has caught my eye and I'm looking to try using it a bit to get a feel for it, but I can't seem to find any communities that i really like. There's a lot of niche stuff out there and it's hard for me to find servers that have rooms with content I'm interested in, like general chatting or gaming. Does anybody have any suggestions?

(I am also open to any similar suggestions you have for other similar apps like Revolt)

I believe that the most heroic thing about Kim Possible is that she wears cargo pants.

I'm getting the impression that there was some kind of hack or exploit lol

Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges in c/technology
[–] m88youngling 4 points 1 year ago

I noticed the article me tioned that the women told the police that they communicated over Facebook Messenger. I wonder what prompted them to spill the beans, or if they were unaware of the implications of telling them how they communicated about the situation. If this is true, it doesn't sound like the police is sending warrants for everyone online to request their data, but it still makes me very cautious about unencrypted messaging

How do you fight random fees added to utility accounts? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

I've had my ISP account for nearly 3 years. Today, I got some funny new fees on my Internet bill. One was a "high speed network recovery fee" and the other was an "administrative fee" with my state in the name. I'm curious what more I could do to fight these stupid fees. Here's what I've done so far:

  • Used their live chat feature. I tried to argue the fees were illegal, but they insisted they were and immediately closed the chat. Whoops

  • Called them. They denied my request to remove the fees, even when I threatened to close my account (I'm moving soon, so I'm gonna have to close my account anyway LOL). They kept trying to distract me by questioning me about other ways to reduce my rate, like reducing my speed. Sounded like bullshit, so I hung up.

  • Did some research and found their corporate office in my city. I handwrote a letter about my dissatisfaction and my threat to close my account in August (which just so happens to be when I'm moving anyway). Sent it out in the mail this morning.

So, what did I do wrong? What can I do next? I know I'm going to have to close my account anyway, but I need to be prepared for when this happens with my new account. Spectrum will be the only provider in my area, so I will have a lot less bargaining power. That, and, it's Spectrum... Knowing how to deal with this sort of thing will be very useful for the future.
