I was planning on doing nothing and chilling at home with the dog but now some friends are having a potluck so I should meander over there with the dog.
Hello. I’ve been silenced, removed and blocked enough on lemmy dot ml for being a filthy leftist but not a falling in line defending totalitarian states full blown authoritarian communist. Sooo I’m blocking everything from lemmy dot ml so I don’t have to be bothered with any more of that nonsense. If you are on lemmy dot ml and commenting on me I will not see it. Ta ta.

Tidal, though I’ve quit payments so when this month runs out I’ll switch to try out Qobuz. Before that I was on Spotify since it was invite-only until a few years ago when I had enough of the CEO Daniel Ek complete disrespect for artists that make him a billionaire. Before that I was sailing the seas for many years. Before that I bought CDs. Before that I bought LPs.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•"Flushable wipes"; "dishwasher-safe"; "odourless" - What are some other blatant lies that companies get away with?
2·2 days ago“No E-numbers”. They are correct. I looked through the food inside and there was not a single number anywhere.
Not really a blatant lie but more pandering to the scary unknowns of a standardisation of specifying the ingredients.

I say for any web devs that override basic browser functionality that intervene with scrolling or doesn’t let me ctrl-click a link to a new tab - feed them coal. Cheap, dirty unseasoned coal.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does Lemmy have more freedom of speech than Reddit?
2·7 days agoA lot of people seem to be looking for safe places where they can spew whatever hate they have in their heart and not risk being criticised for it or banned for acting like a brownhole. Better make it clear for people probing the Fediverse.

Freedom from consequences of your speech. Nope.
Pretty much anything that is real Linux including running applications with a GUI. The limitation is that everything is behind an abstraction layer so no direct access to hardware. The great thing is that you can try out different distros and go nuts trying things out and if you break one instance you can just reset it. Have fun.

1·9 days agoIf I was one to troll these idiots, I’d make a campaign on their nazi forums that a serif font is pandering and only a proper aryan gothic will do

Technology@lemmy.world•The Latest Windows 11 Update Gets Rid of the Start Menu and ExplorerEnglish
2·14 days agoWell, you can configure only manual updates with notifications but I’d prefer automatic updates except not on day zero. At least on Win 1X Pro, on Home I think not.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Latest Windows 11 Update Gets Rid of the Start Menu and ExplorerEnglish
2·14 days agoI have Linux everywhere except one computer that needs to run Windows. Can I configure it to delay updates by, say, two weeks?
If that is your interpretation then maybe that is your purpose.
What is the purpose of a snail or a polar bear or a single blade of grass with their life?
That is my purpose.
From the 80s-90s, my guess would be some proprietary format of conferencing or intercom that has not existed for thirty years or more.

85·20 days agoI think it is fair to assume that if you get electronics branded by a candy manufacturer, you will not get any sort of quality electronics.
Obviously they shouldn’t be a fire hazard but still.
Repo Man comes to mind.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Dry Shampoo is the teenage girl equivalent to teenage boys' Axe Body Spray
7·23 days agoIt’s very useful for dog owners when you can’t give it a proper shower. Dry shampoo and then brush it out.
Pro tip; do it outside. It’s a mess to clean up indoors.
