How would a web browser achieve that? The only thing I can think of is for the browser to choose what sort of web content should be filtered out and what should actually be displayed to the user, which I think we all agree is not what you would want your browser to choose.

Haven’t had much opportunity to have nails driven into my testicles.

And nope, not named after the Farscape character…

Pronounced like “Erin”, it’s a name that we feel is more befitting of the project. Pulling from multiple etymologies, it’s a name that better describes the project now versus the project that started as Serpent OS.

“Aer” is rather obvious, Latin in origin. The phonetic “Erin” is a nod to the Irish roots of the project, and of course a home. There are a number of reasons for the name, which will form part of the initial documentation on the new website.

Our intent is to have a name that is more inviting, and more descriptive of the project’s goals and aspirations. We’re not anti-establishment or anti-corporation - if anything, we’re a statement that without the fiscal handcuffs, we can produce a technically sound and user-friendly operating system.

What does AerynOS mean and how do I pronounce it?

AerynOS is a stylised spelling of “Erin”, alluding to the project’s Irish roots. It is pronounced exactly the same as “Erin” - “AIR-in” OS. It’s also a play on “aer” and the phonetic “air” sound, indicative of our desire to produce an open, trusted and high-performance operating system.

It’s pronounced as “AIR-in” OS.

Not a huge deal to some but as a music producer it was a huge huge loss. (Now I am going to just run off external drives for thet)

Oof, regardless of OS, it is smart to keep your important files off of your OS drive. Yeah, an external drive is one way to do that.

you still need to Google every day basic functions like installing programs etc

To be fair, I had to do that when I tried macOS for a while years back. That is just part of learning to use any new operating system. But after a while, once you understand the basics, you will no longer need to use a reference for the basics. Linux is no different in that regard.

you still have to learn terminal commands

The only time I use the terminal is for things that are just simpler to automate via a command line. Things that I would be using a command line to achieve if I were using Windows/macOS. The kinds of things that I do in Termux on Android.

They are just RFID and can be read with consumer devices

Is this experience at Walmart specifically? The only store I go to regularly that has self-checkout machines is a local grocery store and I love them. No issues for me.

Your title makes this sound like a bad thing, but this looks like it would probably be preferable over being shown whatever it is YouTube wants you to see.

The culture of things that are not inherently political?

It does seem to be a coincidence. Or, perhaps that was chosen as the starting point, and after several rounds of focus groups, they settled on what we ended I’ll with.

I downloaded a copy of the album art, loaded it in GIMP, and used the color picker, and it considered that 89cd00. According to multiple sources online, it is officially 8ace00. Then, I compared those to a few possible 1337speak variations of the word “baddie”.

Can’t wait to see what they come up with next.

Framework smartphone please. Though I think that is VERY unlikely.

Lemmy seemed to parse that as two separate hyperlinks for me. This should work as a simple clickable link 🤞 https://web.archive.org/web/20240926051545/https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634

Hmm, I think this is an Mbin vs Lemmy issue. There are two differences in the URL:

1. The broken URL has %2C instead of ,. This part does not make a difference, because that resolves to a comma anyway
2. The broken URL has = at the very end for some reason. This is what breaks it. Remove that character, and the URL works fine

The weird thing here is that the broken URL only ever shows up on Mbin. Below are a few different links to the comment in which you shared the broken URL. If you view the comment on your Mbin instance, it is indeed broken. But if you view it on this community’s Lemmy instance or my home instance, your same comment actually has the working URL. Something about how the post/comment were federated must have messed things up.

Is that not literally the same link as the OP?

EDIT: Ah, the OP’s edit from 30 minutes before your comment has not federated out to your instance yet.

It doesn’t make sense. I understand it, but it doesn’t make sense.

Are you just referring to how Python uses the English and/or instead of the more common &&/||? I think what the user above you was talking about was Lua’s strange ternary syntax using and/or.

A little less formal than an e-mails.

The comments below started me on a trail that led me to a relevant comment from a Lemmy dev:

I want to remind everyone that since users overwhelmingly don’t want their votes snooped on (for good reason), we will never add anything like this inside lemmy, lemmy-ui, or jerboa.

But it’s trivial to use an external tool to see who voted on what regardless of whose account it is

Is there a tool made for this out there? As far as I’m aware, the simplest way for the average user to do that is to run their own instance and then manually query its database directly, which is far from trivial.
