OH MY GOD I had that Pink Floyd sticker on a “cassette suitcase” that looked a lot like this one -

like 35 or something years ago … WILD. Had absolutely no memory of it until seeing it on your laptop!

Privacy@lemmy.ml•The founder of /e/os is anti-securityEnglish
11·3 days agoBut also, why is everybody so offended by censored words here? I don’t get it.
The biggest reason seems to be that it will evade filters, which people set up very intentionally and specifically to keep these Fedi-spaces a safe place for them mentally.
So, for example, someone comes here to get away from the ‘real world’ and news and whatnot, may have a filter that blocks anything with the word “Trump”, or one I actually see censored a lot more often, “Israel”
Then someone makes a post about “Isr*el is so bad” and it sails right through their filters.

Firefox@lemmy.ml•How to have firefox's cache be saved on custom directory ?English
1·22 days agoSATA SSDs last a long time, yes.
I’d imagine OP is actually talking about NVMe though, which does NOT - or at least not on the scale of old SSDs.
I have put more than a couple NVMes in the ewaste bin over the last few years.
We buy and use them for the performance though - and I for one want the web to feel snappy, so while it could be read/write heavy, no way I’d be moving the cache off my fastest disk.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Is it a good idea to change my system timezone to UTC+0 for additional privacy?English
2·1 month agoBut if you’re setting the time to UTC and your time zone to UTC, your time is still accurate. I assumed that was what OP was talking about doing, not just “leave the time as my time but change the time zone.”

I learned that the hard way, thankfully, with a cheapo A50 I was using as a secondary device back in heavy Pokemon Go days. That was my first Samsung since my Nexus, and my last, ever.

Data Is Beautiful@lemmy.ml•Wage theft is the biggest crime by annual lossesEnglish
2·1 month agoAhh! Ok, my bad - I don’t hear it often, so I got them mixed up - the other, that some capitalist opinion-piece writing bags of shit were complaining about a lot over the last few years is referred to as “time theft.” (Took some tricky search-fu to find it)
However, there is a very significant difference between USD and CAD
Another significant difference - while illegal to do this to USD in the US, it is NOT illegal to do this to CAD in CA.
Unsure how law would respond to doing it to USD in CA or CAD in US. :think:

Linux@lemmy.ml•What sense is licensing operating system on BSD license?English
2·1 month agoOh I don’t either, just a perfectly fitting meme. Especially when you look at it from the angle of “replacing things that already work” and “rewriting everything in it.”

Data Is Beautiful@lemmy.ml•Wage theft is the biggest crime by annual lossesEnglish
1·1 month agoYeah this reads weird… the wording sounds like “employees stealing from employers”, but the graph references things like “minimum-wage violations”, which implies “employers stealing from employees” (a form of labour value theft)…
Yet overtime violations and rest-break violations could be people not being paid for OT or given mandated breaks, or it could be people claiming OT they didn’t work, or taking longer breaks than agreed upon ?!
In this case I think “Data Is Confusing” may be more accurate than “Data Is Beautiful.”

Linux@lemmy.ml•The behavior of /24 vs /32 addresses when using iptablesEnglish
351·1 month agoThey’re not “/24 addresses”, it’s a mask.
/32 references one specific host, it is a mask of all 1s.
/24 references 254 hosts, it is a mask of 75% 1s and 25% 0s.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's with users of fediverse using 'Go back to reddit' as a retort to other users?English
81·1 month agoConservative/right-wing views have absolutely nothing to do with it in my books.
This is a smaller community with seemingly slightly more accountability, or at a minimum, decency and respect for our fellow humans and internet citizens. The majority of the animals on reddit
becausebehave like 10 year olds in a COD lobby - hiding behind internet anonymity to act like complete assholes, and be as rude and disrespectful as they possibly can, because they believe there will be no consequences.When I see someone behaving like that, seemingly unable to carry on a civil conversation, I do not hesitate to suggest that they go back to Reddit if they’re going to behave like those people. We do NOT want this community to devolve to that level. It is not a serious suggestion that they return there - it’s more so an invitation to examine their behavior, and maybe take a step back, and look at this community overall vs. that community overall, and give some consideration to maybe behaving like a mature adult instead. Spelling it out that way when dealing with those kinds of people typically just encourages them to double down though, so it gets wrapped up in that little retort instead.






Costco has this Italian water - carbonated if I recall - 8 bottles in a pack if I recall.
It’s always been on the pricey side… I think it was $12 or so when we first started buying it occasionally, likely 7-8 years ago. Then it went up to $16 seemingly overnight - now I think it’s close to $20.
It is a luxury, no question. It’s not that we can’t afford it, just that it is a LOT of money for water, lol. We get it less than once a year now, but it is always a very nice treat when we do.
