Yeah I’m more talking about everything they do in addition to make the non-premium experience more painful. The incentive is to make it as annoying as people are willing to tolerate with dark patterns and little irritations. That kind of thing is entirely done on purpose, and I think it’s gross to have to capitulate.
And this is very evident whenever you’re outside the lemmy / technically skilled bubble, on reddit and many other places, whenever the topic of YouTube ads / premium come up, a surprising proportion of the comments will be to the effect of “just pay for premium” and “premium is so worth it” or “yt premium is the most valuable subscription out of them all”. People don’t seem to care that so much of the value of premium is avoiding a problem entirely fabricated by YT.
I did this on my ebike years ago, following oz cycles’ recipe at the time which was just parafin and a specific size Teflon powder. I keep a mini croc pot that always has the wax in it and dip my chain whenever I feel like it’s been long enough.
Ah I see, I thought your criticism was that I was repeating someone else who had already referenced Clark and Dawe in this thread. My mistake. If you just don’t like when people reference or repeat commonly known jokes, then you’re free to your opinion. I don’t think there’s really any point in discussing it though, since your issue is predicated on an opinion we don’t share.
In my defense, I did check if any of the other replies had specifically referenced Clarke and Dawe before I made my comment, and unless federation delay is in play, I don’t think I repeated anyone else’s reference to the same.
The front just fell off
Apparently red/green colorblindness is the most common. Also, if you pick a dark enough shade of green and a light enough shade of red, they’ll appear the same in black and white. Someone might assume that the darker is red and the lighter one is green and might get it right most of the time, but looking at just one thing by itself you would have nothing to compare to.
For meat eaters, probably sous vide steak with a mayo sear on cast iron, with mashed potatoes (using a ricer to make it 100% smooth) with butter and cream that’s had a bunch of herbs simmering in it (inside a tea steeper so it can all be removed), I also sometimes add flour to the dairy to make a roux or bechamel to kind of follow the Julia Child’s recipe.
Or perhaps spaghetti carbonara with diced pancetta (it might be the oil from the pancetta or the egg/dairy but this can upset stomachs, but the sauce ends up being very creamy and delicious)
For seafood lovers, I love to make creamy New England style clam chowder in my instant pot, which I add fish sauce, soy sauce, old bay, and paprika to, as well as bacon bits if they can have pork. I usually make it thick by mashing the potato bits until it’s about right, and leave the rest of the potatoes as bite sized pieces. This recipe is a mashup of a bunch of clam chowder recipes, trying to find the best unique parts of each one I could find and adding it if it makes mine taste better.
It doesn’t always! That’s why I specifically said it assumes the people using the addon are representative of the overall population.
Yes, Return YouTube Dislike made by Dmitry Selivanov basically maintains it’s own like/dislike database using like/dislike data from those using the extension, then applies that ratio to the public number of likes to estimate how many total dislikes there are among everyone including those not using the extension, assuming the data from users using the extension is representative of all people who liked/disliked. Overall it works well enough to tell what people’s sentiment is, and the more people use it, the closer you get to having the actual number of dislikes.
Interesting to see VR mentioned. I wonder if it’d be feasible, since wine seems like the place for translation layers, to translate the old oculus sdk (from the DK2 days) to openvr or steamvr. That could enable games that were never updated to modern APIs and to be played, like AAAAA for the awesome, the base jumping game which supports VR, albeit only with the 0.5 or 0.6 version of the beta oculus sdk apparently.
And then there’s me with a 9800x3d with a low profile cooler in a fractal ridge. It only throttles under synthetic tests so I just say fuck it and let it run at whatever temp it wants to run at.
I think the warning you might be thinking of is that a breaker can fail to pop if an inverter/generator is on the same circuit as a high wattage device. Since some energy would go directly from generation to device, the breaker will only see the “net” energy consumption. So if the generator puts out 1500W and the device decides to draw 3000W, a 15A breaker only sees 1500, and won’t trip even though the device is pulling way too much. If the breaker was sized for the wiring, then the wiring to that outlet could catch fire due to the breaker not tripping. That’s the main reason I know of why a generator or inverter should be on a dedicated circuit, to force the energy out one breaker and in another, so that the breaker can see an accurate measure of energy and trip when necessary.
Generally that’s fine and I agree, but one edge case that people overlook that I think is worth mentioning (and maybe what gp heard about and is trying to articulate) is that having an inverter or generator on the same circuit as a big energy consumer means that the breaker wouldn’t see the total energy being used by the consumer, and so it might not trip even if the consumer pulls too much wattage. That’s the main reason I know of why power sources should be on their own breaker - so it doesn’t hide power from the breaker but forces it to go out the generator circuit breaker and back in the consumer breaker so it can be protected properly.
Yeah I’ve tried those but it seems like such a hack. Weirdly, the one handed “pull screen into reach” doesn’t allow you to swipe down across the notifications bar to open notifications, in that mode it only registers swipes that start from below the notifications bar. And the floating button gets a little unwieldy since it overlaps with the volume popup. And in the “show notifications” mode, the button opens notifications but doesn’t let you close them (once you press it twice for the “control center” it no longer does anything)
Not to mention it doesn’t really help with the phone itself being uncomfortable to hold. I’m trying my best to vote with my wallet, but that has meant sticking with a Pixel 2 up until a few years ago, and the Pixel 5 was my “only 2mm taller” compromise - I completely overlooked the fact that the Pixel 2 screen starts like 1cm from the top while the Pixel 5 screen starts nearly at the top. The Pixel 10a is almost 10mm taller, so I’m not sure if I’ll be sold on it.
I actually bought a OnePlus 6 something (t?) at one point fully intending to give in to a bigger screen but I hated it and returned it.
I don’t use a case and I use Lineage. I’m not really concerned. I already need to crop the top of the screen in developer settings just so that I can reach the notification bar, I’m not really enthusiastic about getting something even bigger.
sad pixel 5 noises
I’ve been waiting for a camera bump free upgrade, the 10a might be it but I’m reluctant to continue up the phone size escalator.
My *arrstack DBs are part of my backed up portion, so they’ll remember what I have downloaded in my non-backed up portion.
Same here, ~30TB currently but my personal artifacts portion is only like 2TB, which is very affordable with rsync.net, which conveniently has an alerts setting if more than X kb hasn’t changed in Y days. (I have my Synology set up to spit out daily security reports to meet that amount, so even if I don’t change anything myself I won’t get bugged)
Dust and jank you say? Behold, my old basement homelab when I rented just outside Boston with a very permissive landlord who agreed to let me have Comcast gig pro fiber pulled into the basement, running off an outlet I installed without asking on a free slot in our breaker box. The dust was terrible, the rack was a hodge podge, I had to put up that sign because maintenance guys kept plugging their power tools into the UPS when I wasn’t around and tripping it. But Comcast fucked up the billing and the 2gig + 1gig symmetric internet is still active to this day for free, which I left behind minimally working for the next tenants after parting out the rack. The tower by the side was a friend who wanted to colocate on my fiber, and I had some fun stuff like a slide out vga console. I also pulled Ethernet into every room, most of them installed with nice wall plates all bundled down to the rack, so with a house full of gamers, you could have multiple people pulling a gig on a game download without anyone stepping on anyone else’s toes.
