CaptDust , to Technology in noplace, a mashup of Twitter and Myspace for Gen Z, hits No. 1 on the App Store

Deadjournal was (is?) such an excellent niche corner of the internet. I remember being young and having trouble connecting the site, totally my fault, but I sent them an email and the admins Cryo and SCSi personally helped me get it figured out. In hindsight I couldn't imagine another platform taking the time.

CaptDust , to 196 in Hellrule

Worked a call center in a past life, went crazy because it's back to back to back calls to hit my numbers. Suddenly there's time for employees to watch their AI bullshit?? Maybe instead just let people take a walk, use the bathroom, and cool off between calls? Seems a lot easier..

CaptDust , to Technology in Netflix mulls introducing free ad-supported tier. The circle is complete

Some shows we've watched spend their time "recapping" after the 'ad breaks", playing same scenes we just saw. Drives me nuts, wastes my time and feels so dated.

Maybe they could add some kind of auto scrolling view that informs what is playing at those times? That'd be handy, sometimes I can't find anything to watch.

CaptDust , to 196 in They're Usually Shredded Alive Rule :(

I had this same question, I learned "meat" chickens are called broiler chickens, they were bred to put on weight rapidly. Egg laying chickens are separate breed and grow slower or won't grow to the size of a broiler. The industry is limited by containment footage, so they wouldn't use a male egg laying chick where they could house a broiler.

Touch it the right way and it'll raise straight up for you, if you know what I mean.

CaptDust , to Selfhosted in Tools and ideas for backup of many files

I use rsync with a systemd timer. When I first installed the backup drive it took a while to build the file system, but now every Monday it runs, finds the difference between source and target drive, and pulls just the changes down for backup. It's pretty quick, doesn't do any compression or anything like that.

CaptDust , to Technology in Move over, Ford and Chevy: Kei trucks are pulling up as customers opt for smaller, cheaper vehicles

Maybe in the 70s, a modern 500 is listed at 11.6 ft

CaptDust , (edited ) to Technology in Move over, Ford and Chevy: Kei trucks are pulling up as customers opt for smaller, cheaper vehicles

I didn't really intend for it to be a comparison or supporting the narrative these trucks are 'too small for America', I just find many people hear small truck and imagine "like a ford ranger but a little less", as their starting reference point. Gotta go smaller, scale is tough.

Note that I said over 55, rural connection roads should still be traversable since most are 55. Basically limits them from entering the interstate highways.

Just noting as a reference these trucks are 11ft long, a Miata is roughly 20% longer at 13ft.

That work around is what most states that explicitly legalized kei trucks have done, they can't enter roads over 55mph. It's a reasonable concession, you probably don't want to take one over 50mph anyway.

CaptDust , to Technology in United Airlines passengers to see targeted ads on seat-back screens

United was booting passengers to make room for employee transfers though, the situation was shit before dept of aviation even got the call.

CaptDust , to Technology in United Airlines passengers to see targeted ads on seat-back screens

"The incident is widely characterized by critics as an example of mishandled customer service."

Made me laugh, that's putting it lightly..

CaptDust , to Memes in it's why I'm here

Well, sure Google ads or whatever. I just meant it's independent from the Lemmy platform and instance.
