I'm not sure I've ever seen a mini SD card. To me it seems that consumer electronics went from regular SD straight to micro SD, skipping the mini SD step. What was it used for? Phones?

Well, good luck being a good guy with a gun trying to stop this kind of tyranny...

I misread "the world bum"

The term "keming" is sometimes used informally to refer to poor kerning (the letters r and n placed too close together being easily mistaken for the letter m).

I'll call that an incorrect and generalizing statement. The adaptation of these apps differs a lot from country to country, and SMS is definitely not dead yet. Beside people still texting, it's also being used for verification codes, order confirmations, postal tracking notices, scamming, phishing and so much more!

I guess we will have to compare the last video frame and/or audio sample of every segment to the first frame and/or sample of the next segment or something like that?! Maybe the effects of "the loudness war" in ads will help us detect ads solely by the loudness change within the audiostream?

They would then also need to implement a new (and much less intuitive than 4m20s) way of referring to specific timestamps, since with ads at random points the timecode would be dynamically changing for each viewing.

In Liftoff, the Lemmy app I use, you can easily add a picture when writing the post/comment, which will then be hosted on the instance. It's probably the same for other Lemmy apps. The websites I'm not sure about, since every instance can have multiple web frontends.

I know I'm replying to a month-old post, but I hope you'll figure out a solution, since we very much still need to see this.

Also, if at all possible, please include some proof of those super creamy eels?!

Thank you very much!

Example - it works:

I only use my TV with an AndroidTV box (never without it), and always just use the Bluetooth remote that controls the box. Linking the box and the TV through HDMI-CEC makes the TV automatically power on/off when I power on/off the box. It even lets the TV remote control the AndroidTV box through HDMI, but since I'd rather use the box remote which I don't have to point at the IR receiver, I only use the TV remote if I ever need to change audio/picture settings.

I've only touched a Euronet ATM to write "SCAM" on it, to warn those unaware of the dangers awaiting them...
