Relieved to know I was not the only one who misread “fit”.

I heard this joke for the first time a few weeks back on an episode of The Penguin. :D

Not just song lyrics, but any piece of media

Unfortunately, this practice is becoming common on Lemmy.

Some might see my rant as gatekeeping, but it genuinely hinders meaningful discussion on the topic at hand.

It is a pet peeve of mine that led me to unsubscribe from many, otherwise good, subreddits and eventually leave that platform altogether (thanks to a push from its CEO).

It isn’t.

I never found that to be a problem. In fact, I find the thumbnails distracting. But I can see it being a problem for others.

The rare occasion I work with image files, I just open it to identify, if I haven’t already named it properly.

It also helps that most of my workflows are not image-heavy.

For me, desktop UI peaked at Windows 98.

Installing the 95/98 GTK theme by B00merang is one of the first things I do after a fresh installation of Linux Mint.

I do try other themes once in a blue moon. But I soon realise it is a downgrade and revert back. The last theme I tried was the Arc theme back in mid-late 2010s.

Apple could have avoided an entire lawsuit for their butterfly keyboards, if their users did this one thing. SMH.

Thanks for sharing the insight. Apparently, it was a speed run hack on Xbox for an old SpongeBob game.

So, there’s some precedent set in the field of computer peripheral licking to improve results.

They taste more like flies and less like butter.

Gives a whole new meaning to SSH tunnelling.

AMZN can charge extra as part of their AWS plan to allow enhanced debugging.

Given most software engineers develop in a cloud environment, I would… I mean my friend would have to shove their head into a server rack that is consuming high amounts of wattage. My friend would then have to try reaching for the motherboard by extending their tongue.

The only problem I see here is travelling to the data centre which are often located in different countries or even continents. I am not sure if their employer would cover that expense.

A quick question, should the software engineer lick the monitor screen or the keyboard?

This is a conjecture, at best.

How do I verify the beaker’s volume is actually a litre?

I too was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon the app a few years back. The licence model was a major factor in choosing the app over the rest.

Indeed, it is very reasonable.

It strikes a balance between subscriptions and perpetual licences.

Beside mentions of Jetbrains license model, I would like to mention the license model of a note taking app called Agenda[1].

It has a subscription wherein the customer retains the software and all of its functionality even after the subscription expires. One may resume the subscription down the line if they see a new feature worth having.

The creators of the app liken it to a magazine subscription wherein the customer retains the magazines even after the subscription lapses.

From my own experience of using it, I purchased the license for a year back in 2021 and let it lapse as I did not find the any of the new features to be worthwhile. I still keep an eye on their updates as it is my daily driver.

I’m already about to ditch Voyager for putting emoji’s on my app interface.

Is this about the new account highlightenator thingy that shows a 👶 next to new accounts?

If so, it is actually a good QoL feature, and it can be disabled under Settings -> General.
