I thought the US had some law about unsubscribing within two clicks r something?
- Comment on Some cheeses are luminescent. 2 days ago:
Well I am a step closer to the answer. Here a similar photo taken on the Artemis II mission with the same identifying features: images.nasa.gov/details/art002e009212
In this fully illuminated view of the Moon, the near side (the hemisphere we see from Earth), is visible on the right. It is identifiable by the dark splotches that cover its surface. These are ancient lava flows from a time early in the Moon’s history when it was volcanically active. The large crater west of the lava flows is Orientale basin, a nearly 600-mile-wide crater that straddles the Moon’s near and far sides. Orientale’s left half is not visible from Earth, but in this image we have a full view of the crater. Everything to the left of the crater is the far side, the hemisphere we don’t get to see from Earth because the Moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits round us.
Long story short, like 3/4 of what is in this photo is the near side of the moon.
As a side note, the coloured image on the left of the OP appears to be this image that reddit detectives have decided was edited by OP. No one has found that coloured version on any NASA release.
- Comment on Some cheeses are luminescent. 2 days ago:
I’m half confused. Light source - the sun, just take it when the moon is in it’s new moon phase (side facing earth is dark, side facing sun is light).
But the moon is tidally locked to earth, we always see the same side, so what is taking the photo?
Artemis II visited while the far side was dark, so I guess this is an old tweet otherwise why would NASA be releasing it now?
Happy to be told I’m dumb if I got something wrong…

I’m from a colony and pudding would normally be dessert unless further specified. I’m curious what specifically it was, was it anything listed in the top-ish section here?
Savoury puddings include Yorkshire pudding, black pudding, suet pudding and steak and kidney pudding. Sweet puddings include bread pudding, sticky toffee pudding, tapioca pudding, and rice pudding. Unless qualified, however, pudding usually means dessert and in the United Kingdom, pudding is used as a synonym for dessert.

90s me would have killed for speeds like that!
- Comment on Should I use a "proper" password manager instead of Firefox? 2 weeks ago:
Accessing every password would require a breach of the browser or the extension, right? Because the extension will only fill passwordds with a matching URL, so with the browser must be compromised to provide the wrong URL, or the extension compromised to accept a wrong URL? I am not sure how separating the extension and the manager helps with this?
- Comment on Should I use a "proper" password manager instead of Firefox? 2 weeks ago:
Interestingly, auto-filling can also be more secure than just typing in your credentials, because the extensions will only fill if the site URL matches, where as people can be tricked into thinking they are on a different site.
- Comment on Should I use a "proper" password manager instead of Firefox? 2 weeks ago:
Does this extend to also not using browser extensions for password managers?
- Comment on Do I have to? Ok, fine... 3 weeks ago:
Before I commit, is there a similar movie that would help decide if it’s my thing? The reason I’m asking:
Evolution received mixed-to-negative reviews from film critics with criticism for its storyline, screenplay and pacing; however, the performances of the cast received minor praise.
- Comment on Request: Better deletion options for posts & comments on Lemmy.world 4 weeks ago:
When you delete a post you might do it by accident. You can then undelete it, which requires the post still exists (a soft delete).
It appears Lemmy clears the content after 30 days to make it a hard delete (by federating an edit action to change the content to Deleted): github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3208
If you want to wipe right away, you can edit the post then delete it.
- Comment on I assigned myself one of these things but why do they exist? 1 month ago:
To my knowledge Lemmy doesn’t have user tags. So any tagging will be client specific.

I mean, milk and gelatin is just shitty panna cotta. Add a few more ingredients and it will be good.

Ok but for real, that wouldn’t work, right? How would them holding it complete the circuit? The circuit is just gonna be from one screw to the top of the pole back through another screw, not the part the person is holding.
- Comment on I have a rasberry pi 5 collecting dust, what are some neat useful things i can do with it? 1 month ago:
Well I don’t know if dependent is the right word. I’m fully aware that Home Assistant is something I play with for fun.
I can check the app and see how much power my solar has generated today, how hot my water heater is, or see what temperature it is inside or outside. None of that is helpful for anything other than for fun.
Though I can do thinks like bump up the target temperature of my hot water when the solar is making too much power in order to store that energy as heat, which is pretty cool.
What can I say, this is some people’s idea of fun. I got security cameras (that I can view through home assistant) and put them not pointed at entryways or windows because I don’t care about security, I pointed them at areas where the dog is and the kids play so I can play with object and facial recognition, all locally processed.
It’s ok to not think it’s your idea of fun, but if anyone uses home assistant in a way that they rely on rather than just for the fun of playing with the technology then I’d love to hear what that use is!
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 2 months ago:
The same in NZ. Is this that you never ever wear shoes on inside?
Is it acceptable to walk into your own house and walk around with shoes on? Sure.
Do most people do that most of the time? In my experience, people will be shoes off in their own home most of the time, but it’s not some big taboo to keep them on if you’re popping in to grab something.

Well, that’s a good point. However, if I wanted to export a CSV with only one decimal place, it would be mighty annoying if changing it to one in Excel didn’t save it like that in the CSV. Unless there was another option to control that.
- Comment on Real Struggle 😔 2 months ago:
Yeah thanks, I didn’t understand the original problem but I’ve got it now 🙂
- Comment on Real Struggle 😔 2 months ago:
Ahhh, the excel format keeps the precision but changes the display to 1 decimal. When exported to CSV, only that 1 decimal is exported, so you can’t bring back what isn’t there. But the original file still has it.
I understand now, thanks! Definitely a coworker problem not an Excel problem then.
- Comment on Real Struggle 😔 2 months ago:
Maybe, by why wouldn’t Excel let uou increase the number of digits in a CSV? The data is currently in Excel, and more digits isn’t incompatible with the CSV format.
- Comment on What kind of stupid rule is that? 2 months ago:
Hmm yeah that’s what we figured. We were on holiday, we couldn’t take food home to eat later so just forced the food down then didn’t eat again for 24 hours 😆
- Comment on What kind of stupid rule is that? 2 months ago:
Ok serious question. I live in a country where they don’t serve you free bread.
What do you do if you eat all the delicious bread then you aren’t hungry anymore?
I had this real life scenario happen when I was in Canada and we felt obligated to order mains even though we didn’t want them.
Is it socially acceptable to pay for your drinks and leave?

But how do I read these subtle hints, can’t she just tell me how she’s feeling?
- Comment on Do people eat this? 2 months ago:
Fat and salt are the key ingredients in most fried food, so it’s basically deep fried bread.

Here’s the thing. Either it is all speculators and someone will be left holding the bag, or it’s a real investment.
Do you believe now that it’s a real investment? If so, then there’s no reason not to buy in now.
If you don’t believe it’s a real investment, and the price could crash at any point and you lose all your money, then it was as true back then as it is today and selling out was the wise thing to do even if in hindsight you could have made a lot more money.
Many people would compromise though, sell half to get their original money back and leave half. Then sell half again when/if it doubles, etc.

You can’t take your posts and comments, you can’t even do that migrating from one Lemmy instance to another.
According to this post, you can migrate your account settings (including subscribed communities) from Lemmy to Piefed.
- Comment on So how was your year in review? 3 months ago:
Doesn’t have to be the moment, just that they would disappear after some amount of time that is less than a year (so they can’t make a year in review page).
I seem to recall PieFed does delete certain topics (memes?) after some period of time, perhaps configurable per instance.
- Comment on Is this message supported by World admins? Is there any chance at all this slipped past their control? 3 months ago:
It’s built into Lemmy, the software. It was not made by Lemmy.world, they just run it.
You know you can use Piefed or Mbin and see the same content while avoiding using the Lemmy software?
