  • Shout it from the station rooftops

  • Fun fact: at least one of the mods of this community is a car guy.

    One of the many great things about my "daily driver" being a bicycle is that all my cars can be project cars, instead of having to get rid of them to own something boring and reliable instead.

    Frankly, I think the overlap between anti-car-dependency urbanists and car enthusiasts is a lot bigger than people give it credit for. It's the normie commuters who see cars as an appliance and can't imagine an alternative who are the problem.

  • Diablo 2 gets its first expansion in 25 years, featuring a new class, and finally, decent inventory management

    Jump

  • I see how it exists for "Diablo II: Resurrected," but how do people who own the original version of the game get it?

    (Not that I plan to pay Blizzard any more money -- I've been boycotting them since not long after Diablo II came out the first time -- but I still gotta ask for curiosity's sake.)

  • In some places, getting around on a bicycle is seen as elitist

    Jump

  • Might be, or it might be a deliberately stupid photoshop done by a person (showing how nonsensical McMansions are, by using a carport instead of a garage and a door to a nonexistent Juliet balcony, I guess?).

    AI slop doesn't necessarily violate the rules, though, at least not for the moment.

  • MAGA fans turn on Pam Bondi after 'miserable' Congress meltdown: 'Needs to resign'

    Jump

  • Nominees for the job require Senate approval

    In theory...

    (Those are three different Trump "appointee" "acting US Attorneys" that the Senate never confirmed and who served illegally: Alina Habba, John Sarcone, and Bill Essayli. At this point I assume there are more, and I just can't keep up.)

  • In some places, getting around on a bicycle is seen as elitist

  • The vast majority of the problem is bad (i.e. density-restricting) zoning, not bad bike/ped/transit infrastructure itself. The latter is a symptom of the former.

  • GUIs

    Jump

  • GUIs are great for ad-hoc stuff, but fail when you need a precise record of what you did, e.g. to be able to repeat or automate it.

  • Pro-Trump farmer in Missouri faces losing his farm after federal freeze, says he “didn’t have time to research” before voting

    Jump

  • Any such tool would rely on impartiality on the part of the creator, which doesn't exist. (Imagine if the thing being presented as such a tool were, say, Grok, and you'll immediately see the problem.)

    Unfortunately, there is no substitute for critical thinking.

  • Is Ubuntu Treating Its Users as If They Can’t Be Trusted?

    Jump

  • I usually use [K]ubuntu because I always try to install Debian first, but it ships with kernels so outdated that it rarely "just works" on the not-particularly-weird hardware I throw at it. That's understandable when it's missing drivers for my AMD 9070 XT GPU on launch day, but not so much when it's missing drivers for the Intel AX101 wifi chipset that got released 3.5 years before. (I've also experienced weird installation failures with Debian related to the partitioning and/or bootloader, but I don't remember the details of those right now. Point is, Ubuntu is -- unfortunately -- more reliable to install without tweaking or troubleshooting, in my experience.)

  • The 'No ICE in Minnesota' charity bundle is live on itch.io

    Jump

  • Jeez, that's a lot of stuff. I tried to copy it into a spoiler tag (so the post wouldn't display too long), but it won't even all fit in the Lemmy comment length limit. Apparently it's 1439 items, the only one of which I've previously heard of is Baba Is You.

  • An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me

    Jump

  • Man, I miss calling it "getting Slashdotted."

  • Companies should be glad, that other people are helping them with their offsite backup

    Jump

  • It's not a backup unless you can restore from it.

  • How do I fix "This content isn't available. Try again later." On YouTube with their new ad-block blocking?

    Jump

  • yt-dlp gets blocked more often than Firefox + ublock Origin for me.

  • Me too

  • Inside you are two old ladies. One of them is Sophia and the other one is Rose.

    Blanche supplied the strap-ons.

  • So Deep

    Jump

  • and all their other tripe

    Not sure if generic insult or if you're talking about actual tripe.

  • So Deep

    Jump

  • I'm not sure I'd call any part of the process of making pemmican "frying."

  • So Deep

    Jump

  • Excuse me, but that's pan frying. Your meme is invalid.

  • "i am shocked at how many people don't have an actively hostile relationship with advertising"

    Jump

  • What fucking "service?" Software running locally on my own computer isn't a goddamned "service" to begin with!

    Also, fuck off with your bullshit assumption of bad faith.

  • god forbid women have hobbies

    Jump

  • As far as I can tell, a horse could either be regulated as a vehicle, or as a pet. If it's a vehicle, it has to follow all the same traffic laws as cars, which means it's not allowed to leave the roadway to enter the station. If it's a pet, it has to "be in a bag or other container and carried in a way that doesn't annoy other riders."

  • "i am shocked at how many people don't have an actively hostile relationship with advertising"

    Jump

  • the software is just licensed

    That is a GODDAMN LIE perpetrated by copyright cartel shysters to swindle all of us. The entire legal theory that assertion rests on is absolute nonsense: they want to pretend that you "need" to accept an "EULA" to use the software because otherwise copying it from the installation media onto your hard drive and/or into RAM would be a violation, but that is wrong because 17 U.S. Code § 117 (a) (1) carves out an explicit exception that allows it. EULAs are bunk and do not constitute a valid contact, as they not only lack 'acceptance' because they attempt to work on adhesion (trying to impose new terms after-the-fact when the transaction to obtain the copy has already occurred and concluded), but fail to provide any meaningful 'consideration' to begin with!

    They can pry my hardware and software that I own from my cold, dead hands.
