if you have a way to automatically edit the Google search URL, you can create your own defaults.

Firefox let’s you add arbitrary search URLs to its list of search engines.

I like the classic graphics in the corner

It works now. It definitely didn’t before when using Sync for Lemmy. That kind of mistake wouldn’t have worked on the reddit website either. I had seen it a million times. Not sure if the Lemmy web site would handl it right.

Both versions work on my end.

I’m surprised to hear that.

Markdown libraries normally see the closing parenthesis in the URL as the end of the link markdown syntax of [text](link). You had [text](link(stuff)) which is parsed as [text](link(stuff) A smarter markdown parser could handle it, so whatever app you were using might do that.

When a link contains parentheses, you have to escape them… or else.

‘find’ goes back a long way

Well, congratulations, hacker.

And you can’t unlock their boot loaders. You must suffer their changes to Android, their assistant, their UI, their spyware, and bloatware. You don’t own the device.

So hard you dropped an O.

You can instead hold the power button for 1 second to open the same menu. Feels easier to me.

Am I stupid? How is this in any way confusing?

I kept re-reading this line and it made no sense. All I need to do to claim ownership of a project is merge a pull-request? Do I own Laravel because I’ve gotten a pull request merged? (emphasis mine)

Merging a pull request and having a pull request merged are two completely different things, and one very much requires you to own the project or have contributor rights to it. Which is exactly what the scammer is looking for proof of.

How was the author confused by this? Or am I somehow the dummy here?

My favorite thing about some self checkouts is one big line for like 8 checkouts. You don’t have to gamble with who you get in line behind.

Grocery stores used to have you bring in a list of what you needed and the grocer picked it all out for you from behind the counter and packed it up. If you walk through a store and put your own groceries in a cart, you’re already doing free work for the owner of the store.

I wouldn’t change that, and I wouldn’t change self checkout. I prefer both. It’s not work if I’d rather do it.

(The first paragraph is a true story, but also a joke. Doing “work” is all relative.)

My grandma used to go to people’s houses in the morning and brew pour-over coffee for them and put it in an old school Thermos. Mr. Coffee killed her job and she killed herself the following year.

Not everyone on Lemmy is a nerd. Most people in the world are bad at math.

I have premium, uBlock Origin, and Mullvad VPN. In Firefox the other day, the stream was dying every 10-30 seconds. Like it would just stop and give me a spinner. I would have to “Copy URL at current time”, open a new tab, and paste it in to get it to go any further. I do have bad internet, but this was nuts. And then I gave up and used Duck, and it played flawlessly in their embedded player.

Good job, Google.

If it happens again, I’ll try disabling uBlock Origin on YouTube and see if it improves.

Here comes another schism!

Lemmy users: Copyright law is broken and stupid.

Also Lemmy users: A.I. violates copyright law!

violation of copyright law

That’s quite the claim to make so boldly. How about you prove it? Or maybe stop asserting things you aren’t certain about.

You can change jobs. You can start an entirely diffetent career. I know a guy who quit teaching high school science because he was so burned out on it and became a plumber. It only took a year of training, and pays great.

If you get a job that doesn’t pay as much as programming, you can downsize your life. You don’t have to keep grinding at your current level to maintain a life that makes you miserable.

Gboard is especially bad at this. If a word could in any conceivable way be capitalized, it will capitalize it.

If it’s cool to use K to mean kilo, why not also use C to mean centi?

You could save an entire character in the title by using $3CK.
