@todayilearned Our recycling center explicitly tells us not to put them in the corrugated cardboard bin...

@anime @anime_outdoor They've been watching too much furry anime. They've gone Digigrade.

How has the message not gotten out that people need to sanitize Youtube links?

Everything before the "si=" is the actual link. That "si=" part lets Youtube link your fedi account to your Youtube account and therefore to everything Google has on you.

Please stop feeding the corporations even more data about you and everyone who clicks the link you post.

@requiem I've done it before, mostly when I forget to click on the button. Or when I'm not sure if another meeting before it will run long.

https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/31/zen_internet/ With IPv4 depletion, it's not like v4 will just break, or everyone will immediately hop to v6. it's just going to be a decade of things like this. Addresses being reassigned, anyone who doesn't complain will lose out on their address blocks, etc. The initial reassignments were done voluntarily as some of the big block owners carved up and sold off sections. The future ones won't be. Eventually the v4 internet will just be wholly Centralized.

@union @deprecated_ii Probably none, but they want to make sure. Of that list, I imagine only China has a presence, unless you're talking about counterfeit parts. (Even if China also makes up the bulk of counterfeit parts.)

Any OS/2 users here?

Yes, the OS/2 operating system - OS/2 Warp 4.52 to be precise.

Well, we have ScummVM 2.8.0 for it now.

@Jedigirl I think the appropriate term is "entry level" as in this job is for people who haven't had a job before. It is of low value and low risk, so if they flake out and don't show up it doesn't hurt us too much. Because it's low value to the company, the pay is equivalently low. If they demonstrate that they can show up every day and excel at it, then they can move up into a job that requires more skill, dedication, and is more valuable, and thus higher pay. They can also put on the resume "Worked at this job for a year and didn't get fired, so you know I can show up" and get a job of more value. People aren't meant to stay in that kind of job for more than a couple of years, or if they're older than about 21. The job is to recruit graduating high school students into the company and then filter them upwards, or out. It's kind of like an internship, except for people who aren't in college.

@arstechnica My favorite platform, though I owned a much later version.

@britt To Ubisoft, I'm quite comfortable with not owning your games, paying for them, or playing them.

@textfiles Nice, first thing I did when I heard the news was check Archive.org, and found a 2008 snapshot of the server. Probably not a ton of stuff has changed since then.

@pro On phones, it's useful for power saving, less so on desktop chips. Having Zen4 and Zen4C cores on the other hand, they're the same architecture, the only difference is that the 4C have less cache and don't boost as high in clock speeds. Since usually only a couple of your cores are running full boost, that's usually a good tradeoff for getting more cores. It only saves them maybe 35% or so of space, rather than fitting 4 of them in the same space though.

@beej I need a second reversing camera. Then it can be a backup backup camera.

"Kono Sekai no Kouryakuhon wo Hirotte Shimaimashita" Just got its first update in 8 months, glad to see it back.

@mttaggart At which point I go and switch to librewolf, and hope that they've sufficiently stripped out the nonsense. I've been tempted to try doing that anyway.

@requiem There are some bases out there to work from that aren't ridiculously out of date, like Ladybird or Webkit. The latter was what chrome started from anyway. Or could just fork Servo.

@kiwa IIRC, that "totally cool stuff" was IBM Pogs.

re: U.S. healthcare
@requiem @kusuriya In this case, the government told them they have to. There's extremely strict checks on pharmacies. All because of the war on drugs splashing out to all other medications.

@lrhodes (Even posting on Fediverse is probably creating an RSS feed...)
