  • I'm actually ok with this one. There wasn't much intelligence happening in that department anyway

  • I'm not in a country with the age verification thing, but has it been turned on for Lemmy servers?

  • No idea what Pvz2 is

  • DLC on launch? lol no

  • There's another option...

  • There's a website that can convert some sites into an RSS feed. I forget the exact site I found a while back, but this might have been it? SimpleFeedMaker.com

    Edit: Found the site I was originally thinking of. OpenRSS.org

  • This is why I've stopped going to the movie theatre. Firstly, I'm paying to see the movie, not see ads. Secondly, it's so inconsistent.

    When I was younger, I'd be shitting bricks if we were running late. Gotta get to the theatre before the movie starts so we have time to get popcorn and find our seats!

    Now? It's hit or miss if there are a tone of ads or not. Sometimes you'll arrive on time and be welcomed with all the garbage ads. Conversely, arrive late and I'd miss the first part of the movie, so i wouldn't know what's going on.

  • I was thinking OP could give everyone their own VM to use as a workstation so they could access the files on the server easily, and/or run programs based on their work. When their coworkers leave, OP can easily destroy the VM and the resources would be automatically reallocated (depending on the servers configuration). With a physical device, the storage on that device is only allocated to that device and can't be shared when it's not in use

    Me, personally? I have multiple VMs for different contexts: my teaching job (super clean, video sharing tools, presentation tools), gaming, media server (has scripts to download stuff off of YouTube), server management (just a regular Debian install), and a fuck around box (I just use it to try new OSs like Fedora, or try breaking OSs like deleting the system32 folder on windows)

  • I know this isn't exactly what you're asking for, but I'd recommend also looking into a VM OS such as proxmox or unraid (I'm running unraid)

    They'll let you create/destroy VM instances you can access remotely. So in theory, you can give everyone their own VM to use and access the files on the server.

    However, unraid / proxmox may have performance issues running in a VM on a Mac mini...

  • This is why I'm not going to buy RAM / Dodge / Chrysler/ Jeep / anything Stellantis owns, and this is why I'm not buying any new car with "smart" / "built-in" junk.

    I don't know of any car that has an actually good head unit. Its either garbage because its a giant touch screen, making it super difficult to navigate without looking (that's why all the controls in an airplane are different shapes and sizes), or its just a hub for you to run Android Auto / apples equivalent.

    Now ads? Ffs...

  • To add onto that: dots are short, dashes are long. So if you're using a flashlight, or something else, it would be:

    short, short, short, long, long, long, short, short, short

    Then include a small pause (1-3 seconds) once you've sent the SOS before repeating. You want to continuously repeat this for as long as you can until you know someone's received your message.

  • As much as I want to see Lemmy and the rest of the fediverse flourish; at the same time, I hope it doesn't.

    Once the fediverse becomes popular and gains main-stream attention, the billionaires and political twats will flock towards it and try to monetize it; Morons will flood the fediverse with memes and AI slop worse than !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world (you know what you've done); corporations will start spamming ads for their shitty products; and scammers will start setting up bot nets to coerce users into sending them money to their new AI waifus.

    The unbearable weight of all the garbage entering and attacking the fediverse will drive moderators out the door, leaving servers as wastelands of junk. No longer interesting, no longer human. Just trash, like how Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, etc... are today.

    So yes, I'll welcome friends and family into the fediverse with open arms. But I really hope we don't start getting too many shout outs

  • I totally get it too... but for those that may not remember, unlike me - because I definitely remember, we should explain what's going on... for other people... not me. I get it

  • It's a comic about not being able to sleep, so I checked what time it was posted at. They posted it at ~5am which is a time people are usually asleep. So it checks out that OP posted the comic when they were presumably having trouble falling asleep. Bbuutt im calling myself out in assuming that no one lives in another time zone. There is/was a running joke that people think other time zones don't exist

  • I don't think they realize how much worse their brands look now, after starting all this shit...

  • posted 5h ago

    now 10 am

    assume everyone lives in the same time zone

    Yep. Checks out

  • They're already making suggestions. Got one this morning telling me I can ask it for updates on Amazon packages.

    Speaking of which, anyone have any suggestions for better smart speakers?
