Aquaponics is pretty cool.

And this is why you VPN.

You must be the last person on Lemmy still looking at these sites the way they’re displayed by default. Firefox, adblock, no script, pi hole, etc makes all that go away pretty painlessly.

Seems to be working great, thank you!

I was interested in this until I saw the pricing. Did spez make this software?

Do you happen to remember the name?

My understanding is that the moderator workaround is still working for unfettered access to the API. I was hoping there was something I could just set to do the purging for me on an idle computer.

I’ve been meaning to ask this elsewhere but I guess I can piggyback off this post-

What tool(s) are available for deleting/removing your post history? I’ve seen mention that some didn’t delete their posts but had a bot or something replace the text in them with some text about leaving for Lemmy, and I’d like to do something like that myself.

All I want is a real life iteration of J.A.R.V.I.S. and several billion dollars so I can blurt out cool ideas and have them rendered and built in a couple hours.

I’ll be good I promise.

My dyslexic ass

Next time just use your eyes, it’s faster.

Well done

Even on mobile it’s a couple clicks away from being on or off. Saves me more time than it costs when something doesn’t work the way I want.

Well said, and the things you’ve listed are why I’ve begun to de-google myself. After decades of wishing they’d fix certain products and features or compromising just to keep everything under one roof, I’m done with them.

I appreciate the role they played in helping shape the internet, but I won’t be a part of helping them try to kill it.

You’re about to be treated to a symphony of flatulence that one might compare to the sounds of repeatedly fisting a jar of mayonnaise.

Follow the other advice about carbon monoxide detectors and whatnot, but an easy trick to monitor your door is to tape the seams with something like painters tape or masking tape. If someone were to open your door while you’re sleeping they won’t be able to fix the tape even if they close the door when they leave.

If it trips it doesn’t tell you who is opening the door or why but it might give you some peace of mind until you get a camera or something set up.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Israel’s assault on the press continues. Not a good sign.

YouTube filtering is fairly unique to YouTube since they serve ads so aggressively so it’s unlikely to help on other sites.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think a lot of anti intellectual thinking is a combination of religious and corporate influence on the world.

Religion more or less teaches that you should believe what you’re told, not what you discover or learn for yourself. It’s a subtle but powerful way to discourage people from seeking the truths in life because they are genuinely convinced they’ve found the answer for everything.

Similarly with corporate influence so heavily a part of our lives people are quick to fall into the trap of consumerism. From a young age we are being conditioned to accept that it’s normal to have to pay multiple times for the same product and to replace our possessions regularly. The cost of living that way makes the time and expense of continuing education unattainable for the average person, which often leads to bitterness about their situation and anger towards those who are able to work a white collar job or live an easier life.

Both are problems without quickly enacted solutions. People have to be taught to think critically without being put off or angered when they get to topics that contradict what they want to believe.
