Yo! I’ve been wondering the same thing! I saw those all over Greece and they’re wild. Thought they were like cannabis shops or something lol.
Video scalers my dude. Proprietary yes, but Chinese is questionable. Crestron, Extron, QSC, all major video products based out of the US, tho I believe only Crestron manufacturers in the US.
I half expected this to be posted by him lol
Lol, but like didn’t Goku like live off of dinosaur steaks as a kid? Gohan also fights a T-Rex and makes lunch from its tail a couple times.
What’s the original image btw?
Lol it’s a joke.

Lol I’ve actually had this before. It’s pretty good
Fair enough
I mean, by people I think you mean people with money. People dress appropriate to their station. People then doing manual labor couldn’t afford clothes like the dude in the post and wouldn’t have wasted money on clothes that weren’t durable and easily cleaned.
T-shirt and jeans became the standard due to their cheap cost to manufacture, durability, and standardized sizes and popularity in the mining, farming, and railroad industry, and again with WWII.
Not a lot of jobs these days that allow for fancy dress and not many people can afford their own tailor. Not to mention temperatures were much cooler back then allowing all those extra layers, where as now you’d melt in some parts.
They do make HDMIs with locking screws, but no one really uses them as very few products have the screw holes for them.
Former Microsoft developer says Windows 11's performance is "comically bad," even with monster PC
Normal enough I deal with it on 2 separate machines. One new and store bought, unmolested by IT lockdown bs, and the other I built and use really just for gaming. Idk man. I just feel like Windows has gotten worse and worse and I’m thinking of hopping back to Linux now that gaming is more accessible on it thanks to Proton, but I can’t completely get away from windows.

It doesn’t. I bought it with a company credit card and I don’t let IT touch it. I gotta do a lot of stuff in the field so I don’t have time to call IT every time I need to install a software update update.
The File Explorer behavior is something I’ve been noticing lately. I do have a number of cloud accounts connected for work, 2 One Drive, 1 dropbox, with a shit ton of files and folders (most not sync’d locally) and I wonder if File Explorer is looking through those when it opens.

Idk man. I have a brand new laptop my work got me and I notice it. Windows is just plain bad now. It’s like I go to save a file and the file browser window opens and I’m stuck sitting there waiting for minutes. It’s like I’m suddenly 10 again when you’d turn on your pc, go make breakfast, come back and hope your PC finished booting. Does it both on my work laptop running 11 and my PC at home running 10.
Damn. The timing on that was perfect
Probably short for something like Henrietta, tho based on her handle she may go by Didi and there’s no telling what that’s shortened from.

They? Bro it’s a comic.
Need a font? Just make your own. Turn your handwriting into its own font. Problem solved.
Man I wish I had handwriting that nice
Replace Imgur with PixelFed or similar for image uploads
Saw this post, which brings up a good point that we are still using Imgur for image hosting, tho not specifically for the reason they give, but partly yes because it had been the Reddit standard.
Imgur is convenient because everyone uses it, it offers free image hosting and has no size restrictions. It’s been the winning go to for image hosting for a decade.
I personally only use Imgur because that’s what’s been baked into Apollo, and now Memmy, tho I do not keep a personal account.
However, Imgur is migrating towards monetizing user data and supplying ads. As part of that, they are now restricting what (legal) content may be uploaded, no longer allow anonymous content, and now ban content from being viewed via VPN. I’m sure there are more reasons to add to this, but as things move towards federating content I think it makes sense to use a federated solution to host image uploads.
This of course is probably a tall ask for a number of reas
Is s.itjust.works affected by the XSS Vulnerability?
There’s plenty of posts on the topic about Lemmy.world being compromised, followed by the exploit being tracked back to an XSS exploit that I believe works on instances with custom emojis enabled. Many instances have been quick to jump on this such as feddit.uk and Behaw which took itself down temporarily.
Does this affect sh.itjust.works?
If so what are the admins doing about it?
Can we get some sort of admin post about this? Last update from them was some time ago.
Hopefully the admins have 2FA enabled on their accounts.
Most of my subscriptions are no longer showing up
Like I said above. Most of the subscriptions that I had as of this morning now are no longer showing up.
Searching for communities I know exist do not show up in search results. Switching to a lemmy.world account lets me search the community and it returns in results.
Checked multiple apps, same results.
Currently using Memmy and I’d deleted and reinstalled it, and when I was re-adding sh.itjust.works I noticed it now shows this instance no longer allows user created communities. I’m assuming that was probably due to the bot accounts spam creating communities earlier this week. Could this be why I can only see a very small number of communities now? Or is it unrelated?
Could it be related to the update that just went out?
Or was there some defederation that just happened?
Edit: formatting
Edit 2: as of several minutes ago, instances now show up in my subscriptions list, and I am now able to search for instances in Memmy, Mlem, and Thunder. Wefwef has been working since yeste
Browsing by all Federated is almost impossible without some sort of filters set up
I really wish there was a NSFW distinction between plain inappropriate, porn, and NSFL content. I don’t want to hide NSFW (legitimately “not safe for work”) content, but don’t want to see porn or death. Guess it’s either setup filters, or just keep to subscribed or local content if your server disallows porn.
Even self service checkouts ask for tip these days
Sometimes I feel like I can never tell when and when not to tip these days.
