  • Belgian, Dutch university students join pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protests

    Jump

  • I am pro both existing side by side, which is pro-Palestine and pro-Israel. Are you calling the many Israelis who would like to peacefully co-exist anti-Israel?

  • Best constant in all of iOS!

  • CNLabelContactRelationYoungerCousinMothersSiblingsSonOrFathersSistersSon

    The label for the contact’s mother’s sibling’s younger son or father’s sister’s younger son.

    I thought it was just a male cousin, but it doesn't include a cousin who's your uncle's son. Which culture needs this?

  • „If companies were to do the right thing, they would lose the most valuable customers on earth, preteen kids”

    Jump

  • Maybe his analysis considered this, but the article doesn't mention real-world factors like the climate crisis, the cost of living crisis, and what feels like the resurgence of fascism and the spectre of World War 3. It's noted that liberal families seem more susceptible - perhaps it's because right-wing families are more likely to believe these things aren't real, or aren't a problem?

  • The country's first new aluminum smelter in 45 years could cut production emissions by 75%

    Jump

  • The country

    Which country?

    aluminum

    Never mind.

    I've just checked fact-checked myself and apparently Canada also says aluminum but 🤷

  • Ukraine unveils AI-generated foreign ministry spokesperson

  • It's a weird time to be alive.

  • What Happens When NASA Loses Eyes on Earth? We’re About to Find Out.

    Jump

  • Those photos really sell the value of those satellites. It seems ridiculous that we don't have replacements up there given how many launches there's been in recent years.

  • Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling

    Jump

  • You're missing Windows 2000, but I guess you can argue that's Windows NT not mainline Windows. That was definitely in the good camp, and I was not alone in sticking with it for many years (until XP got good).

    Edit: I see @NickwithaC@lemmy.world beat me to this point.

  • Lemmy instances die twice

    Jump

  • Improving shell workflows with fzf

    Jump 
  •  
        
function delete-branches() {
  git branch |
    grep --invert-match '\*' |
    cut -c 3- |
    fzf --multi --preview="git log {} --" |
    xargs --no-run-if-empty git branch --delete --force
}

    This is really slick.

  • Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

    Jump

  • I'd assume it was something you'd typed once (maybe while searching or a typo). I always delete those words when they come up (for me that's dragging the word up and a bin appears).

  • Removed

    Release v0.52.0 · navidrome/navidrome · GitHub

    Jump

  • So you think it's too unreasonable for you to cope with?

  • No more 12345: devices with weak passwords to be banned in UK

    Jump

  • Why? Unless you like breaking into other people's devices, this is good news.

  • Removed

  • I think all of the communities would rather have something more than just a bare link. I'm not sure why you're responding with such indignation, to be honest, it was a perfectly reasonable suggestion, politely made.

  • Mbin seems like a healthy project, and the only sensible move from kbin.

  • Same, I had to ad-block some custom elements on YouTube ages ago because they kept covering the screen with "related videos" whenever I paused to read something.

    The Starlink constellation hasn't increased for 4 months. Over 1,000 satellites showing inactive. NASA scientist says enormous amount of SpaceX satellites burning up could erode atmosphere killing us.

  • It starts out seeming quite credible and ends up in tinfoil hat territory.

  • How is MX Linux reigning #1 on Distrowatch?

    Jump

  • Back in the naughties PCLinuxOS was at 1 and people suspected them of cheating. I'm sure some people do try to game it, but there's plenty of organic and bot traffic to compete with.

    Besides, I think the popularity thing's kinda backwards - I'd never visit Ubuntu or Fedora because I know what they are, but I'll be clicking on something novel out of curiosity.

  • As far as I know I made it up, but I stand ready to be surprised!
