Believe it or not, the Nikelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show some fun Star Trek stuff in it. Leonardo’s favorite show is called Space Heroes, which is a parody of Star Trek: The Animated Series.

In this case, “PDF file” is a homophone for “pedophile”.

For me, it’s not image viewers, but websites that take photo uploads. None of them that I’ve ever used have supported webp, so I always have to convert to png or jpg.

I wholeheartedly agree. I’m a technical person, I run Linux as my primary OS and use FOSS software. But I also have a full time job and 2 small kids, and frankly I just don’t have the time or patience to be a full time sysadmin. Proton has come a long way in providing alternatives to Gmail, GCalendar, GDrive, etc., but like you said if you want to replace ALL of Google you practically have to self host a gazillion Nextcloud instances or whatever.

I found that even with AdGuard DNS enabled, I still saw promoted posts (ads) using the Reddit app, so I deleted it.

Testicular torsion. It felt like I was being kicked in the balls every time my heart beat. It was my senior year of college and I was home for the weekend, but my parents were gone and I didn’t think I could drive myself to the hospital. Luckily my uncle was around to take me. I dry heaved out the passenger window the entire drive there.

I had barely gotten into the room when the doctor came in and helped me strip down, then proceeded to do what he called the “open book maneuver”, wherein he rotated my testicles to remove the twist. The relief was instantaneous, like my balls had been released from a vice grip. Luckily no permanent damage was done, but an ultrasound confirmed that I’d need surgery to prevent future torsions, which I had during spring break… yay.

That’s been my thought as well. What, exactly, would there be? Are we talking about a whole human body? A fragment like a torso, leg, arm, etc.? My understanding was also that the occupants were vaporized during the implosion.

Space: Above and Beyond. It was a short-lived show on FOX about a group of space marines that are pressed into service against an alien menace, but not everything is as it seems. The show was a a bit of a mashup between Aliens, Blade Runner, and Starship Troopers, and it was awesome. If there was ever a show that needed a remake, it’s this one.

It’s Kotlin, actually.

For real. I went to Frankfurt am Main a few years ago and it was wonderful. The people were incredibly nice and were very patient as I stumbled my way through broken German and more often than not switched to English.

I get it can be a culture shock to live in a new country where you’re not a native speaker and where customs are different, but you can’t expect everyone to cater to you.

That’s my thought as well. The only game my boomer dad ever played on our old Windows 3.11 Acer PC was some golf game. It was my gen x future brother-in-law that introduced me to shooters like Doom and Quake.

Red Dead Redemption. When the music starts picking up as you enter Mexico for the first time it was beautiful and something I had never experienced in a video game before.

It’s because Chrome is so ubiquitous. You go to any Google site, particularly search, in a browser other than Chrome and you’re presented with notifications to install Chrome. Plus, its integration with Google accounts presents a great value proposition for many users.

Personally, I was on Firefox for years until I got a MacBook Pro in 2014. For whatever reason, Firefox would constantly crash, so I switched to Chrome. I only went back to Firefox in about… 2019(?) when they released Quantum and I’ve been on it since. It’s really the perfect browser, particularly with extension support. I also like how on Android you can install uBlock Origin.

With Google’s impending Manifest V3 looming on the horizon for all Chromium-based browsers, it just further cements my decision to remain on Firefox. I do keep Brave around as backup for the extremely rare situations where something for whatever reason doesn’t work in Firefox, but that’s becoming exceedingly unnecessary.

I kinda do both? For some reason, I prefer the CLI when I clone a repo, but Sourcetree for committing, pulling, and pushing, and my IDE’s built in git tools for merges.

As a long time Sync Pro user, I’d absolutely love this. I’d also love for the ability to add a kbin account.

I don’t know which is worse: that this technology exists in the first place, or that a judge in their right mind would sign off on using it to monitor someone. This is a terrifying situation for Hannah’s family to be in.

How long does it take, do you know, for Beehaw to approve sign ups? I signed up 3 days ago and have yet to receive a verification email. I originally signed up on lemmy.ml and received verification in about an hour, but ended up deleting that account do that instance’s… problematic nature. I’m on sh.itjust.works right now, but would rather be on Beehaw.
