guess what just broke on my laptop after 2 years

I’m guessing it was the floppy drive?

My biggest problem has been that the ink always dries up, since I don’t print very often, and a laser printer has solved that for me. Now, about 3 years later, the black toner is still at 90%, and still working reliably.

Could we stop with the viruses for a while, please? Just a few years is all I ask.

1000/1000 Mbps fiber for $43 in Denmark, no data cap.

I like how it basically generated the Ubisoft logo.

It’s the Scunthorpe problem.

“No, it’s true, I swear! The coffee machines on our side can do both espresso and latte! And all the American barracks have 2-ply toilet paper! It used to be only 1-ply, but then last mo— What do you mean ‘this guy is useless’, I’ve just given you everything!”

Calckey sounds like a calculator/math/graphing application and Firefish sounds like another generic fork of Firefox.

They’re implying that all the posts must be astroturfing.

The server needs to receive your password to verify it and log you it. That’s how it always is. As long as you are connecting via HTTPS, this is not a problem.

I’m just waiting for the 1.20.1 build. Happy to hear that they’re working on it.

Relevant XKCD

Kbin is tolerable in a mobile browser, but it actually becomes quite good once you decide to use Firefox on mobile and install the Tampermonkey addon along with some community userscripts to improve the functionality. Kbin is much younger than Lemmy, so it’s just playing catch-up right now.

On PC, I very much prefer Kbin’s user interface (but still with custom userscripts and a few minor changes to the theme I use).

I’m gonna get crucified for saying this, but… I write a lot of my scripts in PHP. It’s just a language that I’m very familiar with.

Oh sorry, I may have missed that news then.

Correct, it’s completely different software.

They were for a few weeks, until today. I’m commenting from Kbin right now.

Turns out lemmy.ml admins had blocked a lot of bots and “kbinBot” (which is the useragent name used by Kbin for federation requests) was inadvertently among the blocked bots. The lemmy.ml admins took a long time to get it fixed, but it finally works again now.

The “mod virus problem” will never truly be solved. New infected mods are always popping up, and always will be. It’s an easy way for hackers to infect computers, since kids blindly install random mods all the time. Only install trusted and well-known mods, and only download them from trusted sources, to minimize risk.

but not every instance is necessarily running Lemmy right? Or are all the different sites like beehaw and kbin and such also running Llemmy?

Most instances are running Lemmy (the software). Kbin (the software) is an alternative to Lemmy (the software), though they can speak to one another, because they both use the ActivityPub protocol (same as Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, and so on). Kbin is much younger than Lemmy, but eventually more instances running Kbin will show up.

But then they can’t force you to get Discord Nitro.
