It's so you can look up the person's name to see if they have more content available somewhere.

As an alternative reply, if you were trying to make a joke, that wasn't a clever one.

5 years ago, a 70-year-old towtruck driver/mechanic told me how he learned of the tools criminals can use to steal keyless entry vehicles. Anyone worth half their salt in the industry knows it's possible and how it's done and has known for a while.

I got bit by an English mastiff. That wasn't a fun experience at 6.

Me too thanks.

I've tried to combat it as I get older by circling around. I'll focus on something for weeks or months or years, then put it down for a year or more as I cycle through four other things.

I should be ready to try blacksmithing again in about 5 years.

How preposterous, Human Man Zuckerberg has a completely normal and decidedly regular keratin growth styling!

Concerns with shitty players is such a frustrating issue, too. The Paramount+ website is such hot garbage, it frustrates me anytime I try to watch anything on it.

Did someone put this on a Ford Bronco?

About tree fiddy

About a bag of cat food per month

1: Funny we were all in here like two days ago saying "they'll probably be happy to have the piracy sub gone"

2: Any member of the existing mod team that helps them is a fucking scab

3: Everyone else has made a good point about some potential liability issues of reddit the corporation wresting control of the piracy subreddit into their own hands

4: There are so many layers of irony with a corporation saying people need to have access to the community that tells them how to commit copyright infringement and then forcing that information into the open despite what its caretakers wish.

I use cloudflare. They sell their domains at-cost, which is nice. Plus all their other features are nice for a (very) small sys/webadmin

Ooh! Maybe for a bike courier or something!

That doesn't make sense 😡

What a silly take. These groups are all so small. Another can still spring up.

When cable TV was first a thing, it was advertised as extra content and with NO commercials. Pay us money, we'll give you a big bundle of channels, and you won't have to see commercials anymore.

Then they started adding more and more commercials in. Nowadays, a half-hour slot is 1/3rd commercials, and probably another 15% of that time is credits and "previously on" or "before the break" or pointless shitty padding

Then Netflix came out. Pay us a monthly fee, you can see all this content whenever you want, no commercials.

Then everyone wanted a slice of Netflix's pie, and now we have a dozen separate streaming services you all have to pay monthly fees for.

The solution is Cable TV 2.0. Compile it all back into one service, charge a higher fee, cut all the ads out (again). Call it Fiber TV or something, idk. Otherwise people will realize it's easier to pirate shit again than to navigate and pay for 8 different streaming services

I've seen a Lemmy community for cats at least once

You damn youth, go touch somebody else's grass!

Same. I got real tired of it raining all "winter" and spring. I was hoping it'd rain for a day or two, enough for the crops and gardens and lawns, and go back to dry and sunny. Still waiting on that last part to happen.

Another technical writer? In the Midwest? I'm not alone!

Big agree. Supposedly I was in the top 1% of reddit commenters last year. Now I'm here, dipping my toes in the Lemmy waters. I'm sure I'm not the only one. The comments section makes reddit for me, and if all the commenters and moderators leave it, then it will be an even bigger cesspool.
