My understanding of the joke is less about tables, more about pontification; I.e. “it is so because we say it is”.

automatically read aloud

Oof. I’ve got some mates with word choices that would raise some questions from the toddler.

To start Firefox without any plugins loaded, go from

This actually got a good laugh out of me. I have a toddler, and I can see what you did totally made sense in your mind, and that it was dad’s fault for not being specific enough with the instructions.

On mine it’s only available from the Izzy repo, not the main fdroid one.

Edit: Here’s the source code. Try with either Izzy or Obtainium to install.

Egyptians didn’t have cranes

But they did have storks, which are almost as good.

You know what’s funny, the two clients that don’t support your dropdown/spoiler for anti-commercial licences were commercial closed-source Lemmy clients.

I say sod them and go back to your dropdown.

Look up “Stanford marshmallow experiment”.

Hahahah. I don’t know how my sleep-deprived brain got to “I am Bob”.

Yeah, audio isn’t my preferred medium, but since I now commute by car instead of public transport, it’s the only viable means of book consumption for me. It’s unfortunate because a bad narrator can turn me off of an otherwise good book.

Sanderson’s Skyward series have different narrators on Spotify and Audible. One of them I could not stand for more than 5 minutes. The other, Sophie Aldred, is a real pleasure to listen to.

Huh, interesting. I am Bob is literally next on my audiobook playlist.

Sigh. As a fan of Sanderson, Abercrombie, and Gibson, I am now compelled to check out your other recommendations. As if I haven’t already had an overly long queue of things to read…

It looks like they lifted the ban in the USA too? If you’re still keen, do give them a ring.

FYI, in Australia they scrapped the rule a couple years ago and you would’ve been able to donate now (at least blood, not sure about organs).

Wherever you are, maybe check again if they’ve relaxed the rule.

I can’t stand Rossman’s videos; but I respect the hell out of his ideas, principles, and efforts to better the slices of technological life that he cares about.

Thus just feels like a lazy LLM-generated article.

Here are some secrets of Linux that many people may not be aware of. *Proceeds to list things that Linux is famous for*

some kind of hobby (especially one with a social component)

Okay, I just joined a guild in WoW and started doing 40-man raids. What’s the next step?

25MB… Is that a lot?

Depends, I guess. For a Godot app? Probably about average.

For a quick and dirty native app? This timer app I use is 160kB. Less than 1% in size.

I really don’t know the Scottish English

If you think American v. British are at 80-90%, Scottish is around 30% and that’s being generous 🙂

Every. Single. Time. 🤚👆🤚

My parents still double click everything on their mobile…
