What an absolute, unadulterated hero. These are the kind of quotes that we lionised from WW2.

I'm so proud of her. I hope that if or when my time comes I'm as brave.

They're being very specific with the language, calling them "narco-terrorists".

Eventually it will influence consumer electronics.

It already has and in a big way. I saw one comment on a Jeff Geerling video saying they had bought 96G of DDR5 RAM a year ago for $205 and that it was well over $600 now.

That's post-tax €120K a year. Who even needs €10K a month? This has to be a piss take. Has to be. Brand new account too.

Oh yeah. Sure they're already minted. Set for life.

Ah you say that, but I lived through the internet bubble. Jeez it was gruesome and then 9/11 hit the next year. Savage times.

Unless it's considered a national security issue, which it might be, they're getting fucked without the lube.

I deeply, genuinely, hope that the AI bubble bursts and they get fucked. It's just so short sighted to not hold on to the safety rope.

That is a great version.

Am I going insane or does it sound like the microphones were below the instruments? I know how mental that sounds but the whole way through I felt like the orchestra were slightly above me.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Oh wow. It looks like it has. That's very odd timing.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

That's magnificent. I use Firefox Focus on mobile as my default and it automatically does this for major sites but this sounds great.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Oh that sounds like a great one. Thanks.

 

So, not uBlock or whatever as everyone's aware of that.

Mine (all Firefox):

Video Speed Controller. LOVE this one. A tiny widget appears on any video showing current speed and you hit a key to +10% / -10% (I have mine mapped to [ and ]). You can also hide the little widget (v) if you're watching a movie etc.

Very handy for sites that don't support changing video speed or have limited options.

Quick cookie manager - Allows you to delete all cookies on a page that you've visited. Very handy when "reject all" leaves you with like 20 cookies anyway.

Netflux - 1080p Netflix on Linux. Can be a little fiddly at times but it does work.

The issue with this is that knowledge should be it's own reward. Where I live college costs a pittance. If you want to study fine art, that course should be available and is.

What you're suggesting sounds great in a very practical respect but would only further benefit capitalism at the cost of wider knowledge. Many of the things that are worth learning in life to so many would immediately disappear from college curriculums.

The goal should be to make third level education cheap enough that anyone can do it without crippling themselves financially.

 
 

I never buy vodka but went to today and just out of curiosity checked where it's made. Well, it turns out it's made in the US in my (Irish) supermarket at least so yours may be the same.

I bought Finlandia instead.

 

I used to love the bench sub in the other place, went to post a picture to /c/bench and realised it didn't exist so I'm being the change I want to see in Lemmy.

Mine has a few that I can think of but I'm definitely forgetting some:

  • Snig: a secret stash. Usually of cash but it could be chocolate or whatever. Pretty sure this one is unique but I'd love to hear otherwise.
  • Sero: (seero) seriously. This one isn't unique.
  • James floody (flew-dy) ah-doody amen: Weird chant in the hope that something comes true.
  • edit: pinchies: little bit of food before it's ready. Usually meat but as I'm cooking pancakes I just gave some pinchies and it reminded me of this thread
 
 

I'll get it started. I just had Aldi noodles for the first time and they were pure shite.

So....Lidl is better for cheap noodles (the 5 pack ones are very decent at only 30c a pack in the 5 pack).

Aldi has a far better frozen section generally IMO.

 

It only appears occasionally. I have no alarms set, no timers, stopwatch etc. running.

Android phone. Searching got no joy.

Update: it was a scheduled message in signal. Didn't want to send my bestie memes too late at night. It does use the actual alarm icon though, weirdly.

Thanks everyone for your help!

 

“CRACK the right egg and get 1% off for every year since nothing of note happened in Tiananmen Square on that fateful day,” confirmed the welcome screen on consumers’ Temu apps today, as the Chinese discount online marketplace of stuff that you’ll end up throwing away sought to mark the anniversary.

 

A-50 confirmed damaged. Suchomimus seems convinced that this was their last remaining fully operational one.
