Oh hell yeah. Brilliant film.

What would your idea of a Heaven and a Hell be? in c/asklemmy
[–] sanguinepar 3 points 2 days ago

Heaven would be somewhere that you can just do all the things you ever wanted to, with no restrictions on time or capability.

Want to know the answer to every mystery or conspiracy theory? Done.

Want to watch and savour every and any great old movie, with the full cinema experience? Not a problem.

Want to be a rock star, or a DJ, or a classical pianist? You are.

Want to be able to relive great moments from your life, happy times with your kids or your friends or your parents? It's all just there for you whenever.

And there's no boredom, and there's no sadness, and there's no rivalry. Just endless happy times.

Does measles effect allergies? in c/nostupidquestions

That's a really interesting question. I have no idea, but I'd be interested to read what someone with relevant knowledge had to say about it.

Ah, interesting - that could definitely be an option, thanks πŸ‘

Oh ok, cool - although I've actually never used Chat GPT either (I sound like a total luddite here, I know!)

Thanks for the tip though, will keep it in mind πŸ‘

Ah, thanks, that looks a useful site.

Sadly, this is my work as well as personal PC, and Photoshop and Premiere are more or less essential for me. I know there's Photopea, which can handle PSD files, so that would probably do to replace PS, but not sure about Prem.

Happy to try something else, but it's finding the time to learn everything again that's my real issue.

Still though, that's a great resource, so thanks πŸ‘

[–] sanguinepar 2 points 2 days ago

Thanks, good advice. Will do a bit of research myself first I think.

Sadly no spare PC to try it on at the moment. I do have a laptop running Plex, but don't really want to mess with that right now.

Maybe I can buy a cheap one to have a play around with first.

Cheers, much appreciated πŸ‘

It's compatible, but I don't want to go to W11. Plus, I've been thinking for a while that I should check out Linux, but just never have the time.

Mitchell soundtrack album? (self.mst3k)

I unironically LOVE the music in Mitchell, and was hoping I could find it, ideally on vinyl. But I can't find any evidence that it was ever released - anyone happen to know if it was?

TIL that not only is Measles very dangerous in itself but it also strips away and resets much/most of your immune system. (www.bbc.com)
submitted 1 month ago by sanguinepar to c/til

So, even if you had been immune, through previous illness, vaccination or via maternal milk, you may not be anymore after having measles.

I had never heard this until today, and it's an absolutely horrifying thought.

You're welcome.

Packers game already looked tough, this just feels like another kick in the teeth.

Referee David Coote suspended over video of foul-mouthed Klopp rant [The Guardian] (www.theguardian.com)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by sanguinepar to c/football

Well, that's a bit awkward...

"Coote was the video assistant referee when a challenge by the Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford on Virgil van Dijk that left the Liverpool defender with an anterior cruciate ligament injury went unpunished."

"Coote also drew the ire of Klopp as the VAR for the 1-1 draw between Liverpool and Arsenal last December after an apparent handball in the box by Martin Ødegaard did not lead to a penalty."

Is it possible to group favourited communities or users into a single feed? (self.syncforlemmy)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by sanguinepar to c/syncforlemmy
2 comments fedilink
 

Per this thread, I'm wondering if it might be possible to create feeds of favourited people or communities.

I guess this would be similar to how multireddits worked and since that's not available on Lemmy, this might not be either. But maybe some smart person out there knows of a way.

It's not even me that wants to do it, but I'm invested in an answer now! :-)

Question about Firefox - any way to open specific sites as if they were an app or program (similar to an option in Chrome)? (self.nostupidquestions)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by sanguinepar to c/nostupidquestions
12 comments fedilink
 

I've decided (after seeing the advice repeatedly!) to try and move away from Chrome and use FF instead. However I've immediately come across an issue which is a bit of a deal-breaker for me, and although I've looked into it, I haven't seen an answer anywhere.

One of the best features in Chrome is the abilty to create a shortcut for an individual URL. This shortcut can then be placed on the desktop, start menu or quicklaunch toolbar (Win 10) and opened as if it were a program in its own right - so, no URL bar, no tabs, no bookmarks, just the site content.

I use this method every day for a number of different sites - Outlook, Gmail, Calendar, Keep, Sheets, Docs, etc, and it's perfect. So much so that I usually forget that I'm technically opening all of these in Chrome at all, not least because the site favicon shows in the taskbar in place of the browser logo.

So, I assumed that FF would be able to do the same thing... but apparently not. Am I missing something? I've found people discussing old features like SSB (site-specific browsing) and PWA (progressive web apps), but as far as I can tell all work on this in FF has been discontinued.

I would maybe just put up with this, and use Chrome shortcuts for these sites, and FF for everything else, except that links clicked from within them will open in Chrome intead of FF, which makes for a confusing experience.

Anyone know of a good solution to this? Thanks in advance!

YSK: It's possible to get search results from Google without the annoying 'AI' answers at the top (self.youshouldknow)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by sanguinepar to c/youshouldknow

Already getting sick of seeing 'AI' results at the top of a search when all you want is a link to a site?

I just discovered this article showing a way to not see it (although it doesn't disable it altogether).

TLDR:

  • In Chrome open settings menu, choose Search engine on left menu and scroll down to site search
  • Click Add button and choose a name (eg Old Google, Google Web or whatever)
  • Add a shortcut word (eg web, og, or whatever)
  • Add this URL string: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14
  • Save that, and now if you search for something and use the shortcut word you set you'll just get proper results, no 'AI' shown
  • Or, if you don't want to have to add a shortcut word, you just make that search your default (use the 3 dot menu next to the name you set) and all searches will show that way, no shortcut word needed.

EDIT - meant to add that there are detailed instructions for Edge, Firefox and Safari in the article if you don't use Chrome

Hope that helps someone - I really don't like all that extra nonsense when I just want a link to a site that I know exists!

[Obligatory - "or don't use Chrome/Google...", I know - but people do, so this might be useful]
