  They are keeping it to be able to sell it to other agencies, who will then use it to open your face-locks.

  Privacy Policy doesn’t matter when someone claims bankruptcy.

  “he should have been in the cycle lane”

  No. He should have had a backwards facing lance, attached to the frame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Batterypunk⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  it would do just the same fitting just one battery in the proper orientation

  This.
  If it’s in parallel anyway, it doesn’t make a difference, slanting it like that, except maybe, making a worse quality connection, that may disconnect with the cell wiggling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grieve with me⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I see. So I’ll have to buy one again 😒.

  Well, my fault for keeping it on the handlebar while riding at noon

  Probably doesn’t follow the spec very closely.

  It doesn’t require you to put a double space in the end off a line to get to the next. This is similar to a lot of other implementations you see on web pages.
  But it does at least follow through with single level ordered and unordered lists (bullets and numbering) and even automatically adds a bullet when you press Shift+Enter
  Also, single line code and code blocks, work.
  Then there is the usual italics and bold and even a quote block.

  It also converts most of them while you type, instead of you having to wait until sending it, which is better than UIs that don’t even have a preview button. I like Preview buttons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the average person know markdown?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  OIC. I should have thought about that.
  And here I was considering making this the default way of doing a strikethrough.

  On the other hand, perhaps we should update the screen readers to make that work. Maybe it can be added as a category of stuff that is to be explained separately.

  The least I can do is install a screen reader and know what it does with this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the average person know markdown?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  WhatsApp good enough?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the average person know markdown?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean ̶s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶? Yeah. It can be done without markdown.

  My phone started doing the thing, where, if I let it discharge to 18% before setting it up to charge, it doesn’t charge unless I turn it off and on again.

  No, Restart does not work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, it would really just be a 2 - 10 second read, depending upon how fast you read, so…

  On the other hand, do you consider time taken imagining the story, as part of the reading time, because I know a book that would have a months long reading time in that case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But what if the book were titled, “Here’s how I became a millionaire”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Shows how much, most companied wont want to give you DRM free stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just don’t run their shitty silicon burners on your system and get some good stuff.
  Support teams that are willing to make builds for the latest Arch release (and tell me too if you find any :P).

  I have narrowed down my “to pay” list to GoG + Linux games, only problem being, since they are not open source, we still depend upon them rebuilding the binaries for the latest systems. Otherwise, we need to then keep an older version of Ubuntu for it. Really wish GoG pushed Debian as a standard for those cases (for old games which the dev might not rebuild), because Ubuntu ages worse than Debian, when out of LTS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If even not that, perhaps you can look into [wning

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP obsolete tech⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  DIY Tape Drive:

  • Keep the core-rings remaining from sticky tapes that you use.
  • When you are about to finish your fourth, save some tape
  • Peel the remaining tape and encircle 2 of the core-rings
    • Do the same with the other 2 core-rings and remaining tape
    • You might want the amount of tape used to be same for both the pairs
  • Connect core-rings to the axle of your choice
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨velosaur⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, is this a constant speed raptor?

  If you look at it for a small enough amount of time, that is (so d can be implicit)

  Or you can get Average Velociraptor

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨velosaur⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah my bad, I wanted to write “Distanceraptor” as in the post.
  Forgot that by the time I got to actually writing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Polar bears⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or an isekai

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Polar bears⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe that’s counting the time taken by the polar bear to catch up to the runner fighter from the farthest distance they are capable to lock-onto a target.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had for a while. Not that bad though.
  Then I started cooking for myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon abuses benadryl⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, just stay awake long and overwork your brain (preferable with stuff you like, or you’ll fail to stay awake long enough).
  You reach a point where you feel mentally tired, unable to concentrate well but unable to sleep because it is conflicting with your Carcadian rhythm. At that time, you can get to a relatively darker place, watch/read/think of whatever you want to hallucinate and it might work.

  Make sure not to be sedentary during the whole exercise or you will require much more effort with much less effect.

  Doing this alongside fasting, helps (makes you stay awake more).

  At the end of it, your day and night cycle will be destroyed and you will have to restore it over time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thats fair⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering what it means to be “normal” around me, I’d rather be divergent.
  But then again, I manage to focus well enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨velosaur⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  speedraptor don’t care where you are.

  Well of course, that would be the Positioraptor

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨velosaur⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or you could go with:

  (Displacementeraptor/ Timeraptor) * Vectoreraptor
  

  The d is only needed if it is changing.

  I normally like GitLab issues as a place for bug reports.

  A FAQ and an old style forum works pretty well for help.
  In fact, just make a community on Lemmy for the forum part and you’ll have what’s required.

  GitHub also has this new “Discussions” thing which should do some good, for those that want to stay on GitHub
