What does a British person’s home made curry taste like? I’m curious.

There’s more than one Musk!? 😱

Thanks! I’ll try this next time when I get one of these popups.

Interesting 🤔 “intercept” as in to rip them?

And suppose a friend asked me how you do that. What should I tell them?

This sounds like the Netflix model.

Yo ho, yo ho!

Yep 🤦🏻‍♂️

This isn’t even about AI. Regular search engines will also provide results reflecting the thing you asked for.

In the UK it’s a “builders’ bum”

There are several eras of the web.

I think Lemmy feels very much of the “Web 2.0” era, which came about in the mid-to-late naughties. When MySpace and Facebook and blogging were all the rage.

So not the same “old web” era as Windows 98. If that makes sense!

This is where I have to give credit to modern WiFi routers and mesh access points.

The ones I’ve owned most recently allow you to switch off the LED lights in the admin control panel. I can even set them on a schedule if I want them on during the day (to indicate status) and off at night (so I can sleep).

Much better than old routers which used to flash whenever data was being broadcast.

Really? I’ve been using it for a while and haven’t noticed tracking.

What sorts of tracking have you seen them engage in?

They display ads in search results, which they presumably do need to track clicks for. But you can literally just switch the ads off in the settings. And then you’ll never see them again. They’re on by default, but not mandatory.

reddit uses a differential for upvotes

ELI5? I’m genuinely interested - just wonder what this means? I’d always assumed +1 on a post meant 1 user clicking the “upvote” button.

Was Twitter a bad name?

Out of interest, what’s your preferred choice nowadays? I’ve always preferred to stick with Debian-derived distros so I don’t need to learn a different package manager (silly, I know).

I guess I like the comfort/predictably of Ubuntu - I know what to expect, and how to fix it if things go wrong. But maybe I shouldn’t be limiting myself.

What are you running your VM in, out of interest? I’ve only ever used VirtualBox, but it’s not always that performant.

Maybe it depends where you are. It’s not uncommon for businesses in the UK to only accept card payments.

Screen and tmux are your friends in this situation. They can keep your vim session alive when your SSH connection drops, so you can reconnect and continue where you left off.

Try wefwef, it’s hands down more polished than the Lemmy web UI and Jerboa.

I think the terrible microphone quality on Bluetooth headsets is down to limitations in the Bluetooth protocol itself.

For all the hype around wireless headphones, I really wish they’d fix the potato quality microphone audio. It seems so odd to me that it hasn’t been fixed by somebody yet.

🙋🏻‍♂️ Sony WH-1000XM2 owner here, and I’m equally as happy. They’re still going strong after years of heavy daily use.
