  • Voyager Android users: Should the Android theme be the default?

    Jump

  • I use the Android skin, and am happy with it, despite it being marked as beta. I think that having the native feel is important, even if it's not quite as polished.

  • Lemmy AMA March 2025

    Jump

  • Yup, same as they could clone git repos in one shot, but they instead crawl every single page.

  • One mother's win over Meta will change social media for everyone

  • Earl gray hot too hot

    Jump

  • This is brilliant, I hope we see loads more of these edits.

  • Getting Nicole-ed feels way more awesome than how getting scammer spam usually feels.

    Jump

  • We're all getting invited.

  • As an IDE

    Jump

  • I do if I can raise the laptop up so that the screen is where it should be for good ergonomics.

  • Pretty straight forward

    Jump

  • It's the meme version of a laugh track

  • I spent two weeks typing and gaming with Awekeys norse-themed distressed copper keycaps and they're a big step up from plastic, but so is the price

    Jump

  • Copper is antimicrobial, so it's a pretty nice feature to have on a keyboard - you won't be catching MRSA from these keycaps! Unfortunately copper's way too expensive to be used in hospitals (or on my keyboard).

  • Removed

    TIL Woody Harrelson's dad was a contract killer and assassinated a federal judge

    Jump

  • I just watched Hit Man, which claims there aren't any such thing as hit men in real life - clearly that's not the case!

  • South Central Ambulance 999 call handler receives death threats

    Jump

  • "Commentator posts hot take, demonstrating a massive lack of empathy to people doing a stressful and important job."

  • TIL that "nginx" is pronounced "engine-x", and not "n-jinx"

    Jump

  • I guess some people might go with f-s-tayb, but I wouldn't necessary recognise what they were saying.

  • Podman is so much better than Docker

    Jump

  • True, most updates I don't actually care about. I haven't had any updates cause problems yet, but I like that I could choose to not enable updates on anything with a bad history (or critical stuff where I don't want to run the risk).

  • Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype

    Jump

  • Yes, I still have it showing up in Windows/Android, and phone numbers show their cost per minute.

  • Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype

    Jump

  • I have a load of credit on there still (got tricked by them deactivating my credit and topped up unnecessarily). I still use it for international calls at least once a month, I hope this news story is overblown.

  • 28 February 1988

    Jump

  • This is one of my favourites, despite the lack of Hobbes.

  • Podman is so much better than Docker

    Jump

  • autoupdate is something I wouldn’t use

    Yup, I expect lots of people feel like that, maybe most (I'd be interested to see some stats). I value security over availability, but you can choose per-container, of course.

    network

    You can set Internal=true, which I use whenever possible, which means access is only to anything on same network (for me that's itself and Caddy) - no outgoing connections at all. Podman uses PASTA by default for rootless.

  • Anything you say or do on Firefox may be used by Mozilla against you. You have the right to use a different browser. If you cannot find a browser that doesn’t fuck you over one way or another, one

    Jump

  • The docs say what they do and don't do - and they don't do that. Just actually read through them for yourself, you don't have to be a lawyer.

    This is just a bit of corporate box-ticking, but the pitchfork brigade has read 2 + 2 and is now screaming about 5s.

  • Gene Hackman has died

  • In the advertising bit they say what data they use and it's all broad stuff like device type and location, as well as aggregate data on how many people click on the ads. Of course, you can just disable this, which surely most people do - tbh I forgot there was even this "sponsored content" there at all (it was added a while ago I think).

    They don't say that your browsing habits, interactions or communications are used for anything besides doing what's required to actually do what you asked.
