Maybe they splurged for a ceramic one. Or illegally bought a real one.

Same. Or (“That one’s too easy, I’m not going to bother to volunteer an answer. I’ll wait for a harder question.”)

Doesn’t Elmo get bullied enough without people comparing him to an egomaniac with too much money and not enough sense?

lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml are run by them, the former is explictly a tankie haven. While lemmy.ml is supposed to be a general lemmy instance, the admins (which are the same as lemmygrad’s) have spoken in favor of genocide and removed posts on lemmy.ml that are critical of the CCP, especially in regards to the treatment of the Uyghurs.
Most instances have defederated lemmygrad, some have defederated lemmy.ml as well.

I absolutely disagree about all fediverse devs being problematic. @ernest is the dev of KBin, and everything I’ve seen of or about him shows he’s a good person and a gem.

Also, there’s a vast difference between being a bit of an asshole sometimes, depending on your point of view (like Linus Torvalds), and trying to justify genocide (lemmy devs).

Someone wrote about there being a cat and a bat command in linux (plus another animal name I forgot), but no dog command. Someone commented that there’s updog.

To head off potential misunderstandings. The “disabling it permanently” in the post meant something like somehow replacing the function with a noop so even if it gets reactivated, it wouldn’t do anything anymore.

And by “deactivating Adaptive Brightness” I didn’t mean just manually changing brightness and then being annoyed when it adapts again. I mean going into the Settings and disabling it, but somehow it gets reenabled randomly.

Nope. But my problem isn’t that disabling it again is too bothersome. It’s that even if I go into Settings->Display and turn off Adaptive Brightness, it turns on again without asking on its own randomly while I’m using my phone.

Hey, that was their surname, you need to capitalise it.

Isn’t that the case with all asshole design?

That’s the joke.

Btw: Anyone made a /c/thatsthejoke or /m/thatsthejoke yet?

Protonmail accounts are free. Just make one and use it for bug report signups.

Anyway

Yup. Main reason I don’t bother with bluetooth mice and use either radio mice with receivers or wired mice over them.

The downside of laser printers is that toner is very bad for your lungs.

I did at the time, if I remember correctly. It’s been years though, could have just been an old SSD model that used too much power for the Rpi.

as a result the laws are far most maliable
*malleable 😉

Not enough for the needs of an HDD

If you write !someCommunity@some.instance and aren’t on some.instance yourself, that works for everyone, regardless of whether their instance server knows about that community already or not.

If you are on some.instance and write !someCommunity@some.instance, both lemmy and kbin are overzealous and it ends up only working for people on some.instance.

In that case, you can use [link text for lemmy users](/c/someCommunity@some.instance) and [link for kbin users](/search?q=someCommunity@some.instance). The one for kbin users looks a bit different to guarantee the link works even if their instance doesn’t have anyone subscribed to someCommunity@some.instance yet. Not sure if the lemmy link works in such a case.````````

IIRC it’s technically possible to attach an external harddrive to a Raspberry Pi if it has its own power supply.

I seem to remember doing a botch where I took a USB hard disk drive that was supposed to get its power from the PC through the cable and rerouted the power over USB lines to a dedicated power brick.

My memory says I carefully removed a section of mantle in the middle of the drive’s USB cable, cut the power carrying lines but leaving the data lines intact, cut one end of a different USB cable, connected the power lines of that with the cut power lines of the drive’s cable (only on the drive side, obviously), put the intact end of the second cable into a USB charge plug, and connected the drive and RPi as if the RPi were a regular PC.

I’m pretty sure it worked.
