It’s an anti-theft device. All the DVDs and games I get from the library have them.

Holy fuck. How are Americans ok with more than half of their taxes going to the military while their infrastructure and education crumbles?

Apparently Mods are being given automated instructions to "check for violence" for any comments that contain the word "Luigi". Subreddit drama discussed in c/[email protected]

Luigi Luigi!

Not completely convinced by the format, but worth a try in c/[email protected]

It’s not that confusing. The simplest way to explain it, I think. Is that instances are like email servers. Defederating is like a spam blocker. If you don’t like your “email server’s” “spam blockers” you can chose another.

No need to worry about the inter-instance drama.

Is Firefox still the recommended browser of choice here? in c/[email protected]

I am not a dev and most of that is beyond me. What does that mean to someone who uses their torrents?

Sorry what’s the issue with YIFY?

Yup. I’ve been using Firefox for 16 years and I just switched to LibreWolf the other day.

i now use Lemmy, Vivaldi, Olvid, Le Chat, F-Droid, Proton Mail; soon Linux, LineageOS. You? in c/[email protected]

I haven’t tried it for files yet, but Keet.io will give you the ability to transfer PTP. You’d both have to be online at the same time though.

Haha! I jumped ship after the API ruckus. Before the NSFW filter was readily available I blocked a lot of porn communities before I had a feed I could browse at work.

What do you use to replace google docs/sheets? in c/[email protected]
[–] Mongostein 1 points 3 days ago

Libre Office.

You’ll just have to get used to emailing copies to people again.

Do these muppets not realize that Facebook and YouTube are also The Media™?

Is anyone surprised that after they got them to close by the shiny new arena that they’re now trying to back out of their deal?

This cmnty needs more posts, so here's an (I think) up-to-date list of upcoming movies. What are you stoked on? (bgr.com)

I didn’t realize Deadpool 3 is the only movie next year. Should be sweet!

Also I’m trying new shorthand for “community,” let’s see how it plays out.

Alberta school buses have been late for years, but there’s hope that may change (www.cbc.ca)

I'm a school bus driver myself. I'll tell you the issue is that they're short drivers because they pay peanuts. The buses are coming that late because drivers are doing routes after their first routes. All the school bus companies somehow pay the exact same rates. There is no competition between them, but "they're trying everything."

Episode 4 discussion? (self.starwars)
 

Since there’s no official thread I’m going to write my thoughts in this post as I watch the episode.

The animated stuff has never really grabbed me. All this Ezra stuff is like, “oh ok yeah uh huh he’s super important I get it.”

“Can I count on you?” - foreshadowing?

I like this sith dude, but I feel like he’s going to turn to the light.

Rebellion insignia on Sabine’s mando armour 🤔

Jedi bot nooooo!

Oh good they saved him. I like this droid. What’s his name?

Oh, it’s the 25 year old general again. I don’t mind her character, but she doesn’t seem grizzled enough to be a general.

How come her kid doesn’t have head tendrils?

Oh it’s Mr. Kim! I always like seeing him show up.

Ooooo baddies being bad. Trippy map stuff is fun.

Uh oh showdown time.

Cool fight. She should have just stabbed spinny-lightsabre guy in the knuckles though. Guess we’ll never know who that guy was. Did we know Sabine had a light sabre or is this a new development?

Oh no they’re splitting up! Mr. Droid said not to do that!

Can’t they make a copy of this map? Why are they fighting over this one map? Any good data hoarder would have backed it up by now.

Oh shit they’re going to talk about Anakin now!

Yeah get bent pal, she doesn’t have to explain herself to you.

Yeah don’t start wars, bro. Or do, I guess that’s why I’m watching Star Wars

Oh lightsaber time again already??

[Feature Request] I’d like to be able to see the instances the communities are on while scrolling (self.memmy)
 

Yeah that’s all. I appreciate that we can see it on usernames now, but I’d like to see it for communities as well.

Thanks Lemmy devs!
