Arguably, the fix should be to “it” since anon is a utility account, not a user.

I assume it’s just a coincidental interaction. I mean, it’s not like yeast wants us to get drunk [citation needed].

TIL that Takara Tomy (the company that made the Transformers toys) designed the Transformable Lunar Robot LEV-2, aka Sora-Q (“sky sphere”):

The fact that it’s Nintendo’s IP seems the key thing here.

So did Nintendo get Valve to do this, or is Valve just covering its back from the notoriously-litigious Nintendo?

Ah, ok, that makes more sense. That also solves any ordering problem if you, say, you’re running local and elsewhere commands and a sync means pressing up gives you an unexpected item.

Sync seems like it’s going to be more pain than its worth unless you have all your machines configured the same. I’m not even running the same distros between machines…

I like this author’s attitude. I scoffed a bit when I read about “joy that can be found in mediocrity” but he’s right that you can (and should) just do something because you enjoy it or it’s good for you.

I think you linked to the wrong page; that one’s about the different types of roots and root systems.

Bad link 👎

This article seems to be an incomplete pasting of an old article: What Did Ada Lovelace’s Program Actually Do? I was suspicious when it said “A contemporary interpretation of Ada’s punch card stack using JavaScript might resemble the following” but didn’t have any code.

The real tl;dr is it calculated terms of the Bernoulli series.

It’s astonishing and terrible to see populist politicians still saying that climate change is a hoax - and getting elected. It’s never been more obvious that what scientist have been saying about global warming (e.g. Exxon’s scientists have been saying since 1977) is true and having real world consequences today.

Did you have any luck?

I thought that was catchier than “Private Browsing/Incognito/InPrivate/gift shopping mode”.

False dichotomy (or is your logical fallacy the slippery slope? Anyway…) Someone saying that what’s happening to Palestinians is wrong does not mean they’re saying they want all Israelis killed.

This headline makes it sound like the star has been rumbled counterfeiting Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden CDs 🤘

It’s not paywalled here, try using porn mode, clearing that site’s cookies or something like archive.today.

I was going to suggest War for the Overworld but at eight years old perhaps that doesn’t qualify.

Ah, I just posted about this in !books@lemmy.ml (I forgot what this community was called). My Halloween history:

The niche interest groups are what I miss from reddit - I’m out of the loop for several things now I don’t lurk in the respective subs any more. I think I’ll start using their RSS feeds so I don’t miss out too much.

Memes are just easy to consume and upvote, so I understand them becoming popular. I’ve got multiple duplicate accounts with different communities added/blocked so can get the memes only when I choose.

As noted, this is an old article. You can install the plugin here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/

I just tried it on https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/technologie and it’s definitely good enough to be usable, although it has translated the top story as “What the new data glasses from Apple can”. Google Translate’s version is almost the same for most of it, although it gets “can do” right.

It initially recognised that it could translate feddit.de but seems to have stopped now. Hmm.

Anyway, even though German->English is a pretty easy test given that English is a Germanic language, I’m happy to leave it installed and test it in the wild.
