Linux & FOSS Enthusiast. My cultural touch points are 90s-00s sci-fi references and Mean Girls.

  • Vouchers were not designed to help low-income students. They were designed to allow middle to upper class families too take state dollars and send their children the right schools. What are the right schools you ask? The ones without the low-income students, of course. (Source: I work in Education in Indiana)

  • They know the same way heikegani crabs know what a samurai looks like.

  • Give me Windows 95 with Microsoft Plus!

  • They're the same picture.

  • If you want to skip wiring all together, pick up two Aurora Dimmers and put Hue bulbs in all your sockets. It's not the cheapest or most privacy friendly if you're using their hub. But going this way, you can put the dimmer near the fixture you want to control, you have no wiring whatsoever, connection to HA, and you're completely up and running inside of 30 minutes.

  • I'm honestly surprised it's taken them this long. They bought Waze in 2013. I feel like Waze has been doing this kind of ad for at least that long.

  • We check criminal records from local and national databases as well as your driving record. Because my industry is working with kids, we're really just checking to make sure you don't have any child abuse or neglect on your record.

    Other industries, I'm sure, are looking for different things based on what they're hiring for. Where I work, there is a different set of checks we run on folks that work in our finance department, but I don't oversee that area.

  • The group used "sophisticated computer scripts" and software to scour piracy services... for illegal copies of TV episodes, which they then downloaded and hosted on Jetflicks’ servers.

    So they used some variant of Sick Beard?

  • This is what shower thoughts should be! Thank you!

  • KineStop - After Apple announcef Motion Cues, I went looking on Android because I cannot use my devices in a moving vehicle. KineStop is all I found. I went ahead and bought it because it helps (doesn't completely get rid of motion sickness). I would gladly switch to an open source alternative if one were available.

  • +1 for Florisboard

  • I made SO many self-extracting archives back in the day. My friends just couldn't be bothered to use 7zip.

  • Presently, on meet.jit.si, only the moderator needs to be logged in. Everyone else can just join the meeting with no need to log in.

    But that's just the one that Jitsi runs. The Guardian Project has a Jitsi Monitor that can point you to some other Jitsi instances.

    Not unlike Lemmy. If you don't like the way things are run on one server, check a different one.

  • It depends on the app publisher. The official F-Droid repo has Newpipe version 25.2, which was added August 10, 2023. The Newpipe upstream repo has version 26.1, added December 27, 2023.

  • There are general purpose repos and specific app repos. Those for specific apps might allow you to download apps not found elsewhere or they might just get you the update a little faster.

    I have the repos for Collabora and Newpipe enabled on mine for those reasons.

    You might also look at Obtanium if you're looking to keep specific apps updated.

  • What part of the country are you in? You mention being in an at-will state, so I assume the US. Maybe the Lemmyverse can help you find a job?

  • Always was.

  • I love Lemmy. Yes, I'll take two photos of delicious looking bread with a side of Monty Python jokes.
