Fedi Punter in Media Lingo Rant Slam: Reaction

rmuk ,

Ten pictures of Feddit users reacting to clickbait headlines that will make you say "no, these are all trains. No, I'm complaining as such, I like trains, I just... I thought... No, the headline said something about... reactions, yeah, and ins- actually, hang on, how did you get in here?"

And your email, identity document, photo, payment method... lots of fun data points to boil it down to a demographic of one person.

rmuk ,

I can't remember the term for it, but this is one of those things where you think you have a bit of childhood nostalgia that's unique to you, but it's actually almost ubiquitous.

This is also a great money-saving tip if you're preparing a meal that uses loads of boiled eggs and boiled potatoes and also are in an area where water costs a lot but not so much that you'll stop boiling eggs and potatoes in it altogether but would see saving a panful of it as a benefit which, personally, I find highly relatable as I am currently trapped in a desert that has eggs and potatoes instead of sand and also please send help.

rmuk ,

Dude!

This is a really good idea! We should start immediately standardising like you suggest!

Actually, now I think about it... maybe it's not the kind of thing we could convince people to get on board with in useful number...

Damn.

rmuk ,

And if so, would you make a comparative review of it?

rmuk ,

That's quite gay.

Pipe cleaner crew checking in.

Damn, you beat me to it.

Have you ever bough an external hardrive only to take the disk out of it?

Hiya, so am looking to buy more storage and while browsing am seeing some external harddisks, such as Western Digital My Book and Seagate Expansion Desktop for cheaper than the internal harddisks themselves. Have seen this one video from KTZ Systems where he bought up multiple of these external ones just to open them up and use...

Hey. Heyhey. Heyheyhey. Have you ever noticed that your warships have giant barcodes on them? It's so that when they return to port they can scan the navy in.

Also, a kickass soundtrack by Hudson Mohawke.

rmuk ,

Also, st can fuck off. Just in general. It's harder to write than it's constituent letters.

rmuk ,

In Germany Schuko is deemed non-optimal, but acceptable, for up to 800W.

In the UK our everyday plug is rated for 13A - nearly 3KW. The plug on my phone charger is the same as the one on my tumble dryer and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bag thing.

+1 for Mumble. I set up a load of Android PoC devices with a Mumble server and it's honestly like having walkie-talkies that work over the Intertubes.

Meanwhile, the North of England bucked the trend by being clear. The aurora was visible in town, despite your directions light pollution, but I still drove out to the country for an hour at 2am to get a better view.

Serious question:

Is it pronounced bour-joys-ee or bour-joys?

rmuk ,

OMG is this loos?

If you admire Technology Connections, take a look at Cathode Ray Dude. Exudes a lot of the same energy.

rmuk ,

Primative Technology. That guy is just... unfathomableable. Pots, fire, bricks, crops, shelter, kilns, repeat, no words, no justification. We can't even be certain the guy in the video wrote the subtitles. Has he ever even acknowledged the camera? Is he a good guy? Evil? How would I tell? Does it even matter?

rmuk ,

Why do you need to bring politics into it?

rmuk ,

Man, wait until these people hear about the filesystem and kernel.

rmuk ,

I won't bother. Sounds like hurd work.

rmuk ,

Did you know there is an industry-standard mounting system for strap-on dildos? Just saying.

rmuk ,

You're a loose cannon, Officer Meow Meow McFuzzyface.

rmuk ,

Bring your cars inside.

rmuk ,

Get ye flask.

rmuk ,

Both a definition and an example. Well done.

I thought it was XBox?

Internet things.

I have no horse in this race but anyone who has ever used a Fiat Multipla will know what a complement this is for Slackware.

If Apple's approach in the EU is anything to go by, they'll disable repaired phones if they're taken outside Oregon.

These people's minds will be blown when they hear about virtual machines.

US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones (www.theverge.com)

The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

Kinky! Are you on Recon?

    Only if your computer's manufacturer paid for it.

    rmuk ,

    Lots of people shitting on Microsoft on this thread ignoring that it's not Microsoft who charge for a codec and that Microsoft promote a royalty-free HEVC competitor called AV1.

    Guaranteed this video file is from an Apple device, where patent-encumbered HEVC is the default recording format.

    rmuk ,

    I remember when Google was the good guy.

    It's like saying "prove you don't own a poodle". How do you prove that? I can tell you I don't own a poodle... but how can you be sure?

    Man, that doesn't sound like a sentiment made with brand conscientiousness in mind.

    rmuk ,

    I've seen things. I've seen them with my eyes.

    rmuk ,

    It's advertised as something like a Chinese version Cirque de Soleil, but it's actually propaganda from a far-right cult that claims they're being persecuted because people just won't stop being gay, or listening to women, or believing in evolution or using modern medicine... Not even joking.

    rmuk ,

    Amen. Monitors, digital signage and, as you said, business projectors are the way. CEC, auto input switching and ARC are all the smarts I want in a TV.

    rmuk ,

    Yeah, there's still plenty of places where AirBnB is competitive. When I'm in cities in France and Germany an apartment tends to cost about the same as a hotel room. Outside of cities hotels tend to cost a lot more.

    [OC] Anyone else insist on using the generic name for all meds? (lemmy.world)

    Image: 4 panels organized in a rectangle following a sequential order like a comic strip. The first panel is of a man with a very serious face stating, "Hey man, got any diphenhydramine?" The second panel is a grainy picture of the actor Robert Downey Jr. with a slightly inquisitive face and saying, "What's that?" The third...

    rmuk ,

    Y'see, I would have said "parrots ate 'em all". It still works.
