Just came here to say that this also affects any applications that use the libwebp library.

That includes many apps that most people don't think of as "browsers".

Electron based applications all use chromium under the hood, and are quite common/prolific these days.

Expect updates to a lot of things in the near future.

I have a TCL and it works just fine without internet.

Honestly, if I bought a TV, brought it home and it refused to function without internet I'd march that thing right back to the store for a refund.

Vote with your wallet.

Pretty sure the internet would collapse in a matter of hours.

I hope everyone reading this knows that you can just not connect a "Smart" TV to the internet. Leave it as a "dumb" TV.

Get a separate device like a Roku or AppleTV or Amazon Fire or whatever. The garbage hardware that TV manufacturers slap inside a TV so they can advertise its "smart" features will always be inferior to a purpose built external device.

To say nothing of the security implications of having an unpatched probably unsupported IoT device running on your network for years.

The Duran Duran Tribute album (1997)

Ever notice that this movie is basically the same story as The Three Amigos?

BetterTouchTool (which isn't free but is worth every penny) lets you do everything rectangle does. Also lets you configure your mouse buttons to do whatever you want. Also infinite custom hot keys and shortcuts.

Also Raycast as a replacement for Spotlight.

Pretty much anything by Electric Six or Clutch. Honorable mentions to Soul Coughing and VNV Nation.

Karma chameleon, you come and go ⋅ Karma police, arrest this ho. ⋅ Karma's a removed, it gets a little jumpy when you come near.

-- Electric Six, (It Gets a Little) Jumpy

Like Harry Truman dropping bombs out of the air ⋅ Like any self-respecting multi-billionaire ⋅ This is who you are, five dancing teenage boys ⋅ Who sing their way into our hearts ⋅ Backstreet's back, alright

-- Electric Six, Jimmy Carter

Next thing that I did was tap out Morse code ⋅ With a wooden nickel on the receiver of the phone ⋅ Before I could complete it, I was quickly overtaken ⋅ By the angry spirits of Ronald and Nancy Reagan

-- Clutch, X-Ray Visions

There's a story here. Please tell.

But he also discusses why things froth and some of the science behind it. Might be helpful when selecting an alterna-milk?

I'm curious, what brand/model is the frother?

Just gonna leave this link here, since it's comprehensive in a general way.

ah, damn. thanks for the info!

• A good ergonomic office chair.
• A sit/stand desk.
• Heavy duty wire shelves from Costco.

And because I drink coffee and I'm a total klutz...

• Contigo Auto-seal travel mug. These things are practically bomb-proof and prevent spills!
• a stainless steel double-walled french press. Also bomb-proof and retain heat really well.

yay! 🫶

Yeah, I had to install a special Yiddish keyboard layout on my Mac.

This site looks like it has you covered no matter what OS you use. :) https://keyman.com/keyboards/yiddish_pasekh

Just a word of advice about any/all non-cast-iron pans... never take a hot pan and run it under water. It may create a very satisfying blacksmith blast of steam effect, but it almost invariably results in the bottom of the pan warping to be not-quite-flat.

Things I have done with my Pi(s) --

1. AirplayPi so I can airplay to my non-Apple speakers.
2. OctoPi so I can interact with my 3D printer via the local network.
3. Kodi media player
4. HomeAssistant hub
5. PiHole network-wide adblocker
6. I put Tailscale on an older Pi and plugged it in on my parents' network, so I have remote access to help them with their router or whatever.
7. RetroPi - classic game emulator. Plays just about everything prior to PS2 generation stuff.

Hell yes. My Brother printer is just a solid workhorse.

TSA Pre-check.

Yes, it's fucking obnoxious that it exists at all, given the "security theater" of it all, but man... being able to breeze past the super long lines at the airport is such a better experience.

yes.

as a long time former smoker, I managed to kick the habit, and it makes me sad when my friends haven't been able to do the same.

Might I suggest a "single column" version as well, for the folks on mobile devices? 😁

Kbin is sorta like an alternate Lemmy client.

A bad comparison would be like Hotmail vs gmail. Both are email, but slightly different interfaces.

Absolutely this. They're not competing. They're not the same thing. It's like asking when texting will beat gmail.

One is a private for profit enterprise. The other is an open standard with lots of entities using that standard.

is it surprising that the person writing open-source software for an open-source platform has communist tendencies?

Anyone can make a community. Just be aware that when you do, you are the default mod.

To be honest I'm still skeptical of the Fediverse as a long term endeavor, but I'm going to give it a fair shake in the meantime.

That said, I was never much of a heavy user of twitter or reddit anyway, so watching the Fediverse explode while various corporate entities implode is just popcorn entertainment.

Basically max out everything you can afford to max out. GPU is more important lately than CPU for most things, get as much of that and as much RAM as you can afford.

And now I hit 900!!

Trying it again... (actually posting from it right now) -- you're right, whatever it was that I encountered last time seems to be gone. yay!

I recall downloading Arc — being interested in a fresh take on browser UX, but then being very put-off by the fact that it wanted me to give it my credentials to numerous services.

Maybe I should try it again, but I'm very cautious about signing into Google, Slack, Discord, etc. via a 3rd party app...

(full disclosure, I used to work at HQ in Cupertino) ... it's not generally Apple's M.O. to respond to things like this with, at most, "we received your message".

Apple's infosec team is almost certainly looking into this, assuming the report made it's way to them. I'll reach out to some of my contacts there n' make sure they're at least aware of the exploit.

Given how guarded Apple is about revealing anything, I wouldn't expect much of a response though, even from a friend.

The video takes a long time to say this:

There's a new (and concerning) service known as "Plist FMI off" which appears to be able to unlock an iPhone that would otherwise be locked and useless to thieves.

Disabling iCloud lock / Find My iPhone lock should be something only possible by someone working from inside Apple -- thus implying that there's likely an insider involved in this. Or at the very least, a security flaw in Apple's network that's allowing this to happen.

The Youtuber seems to think that Apple should be forthcoming about declaring this vulnerability exists. IMHO, he is wrong to think that. Declaring the flaw before it's been patched would only create a rash of iPhone thefts.

Ideally, Apple is now aware of this situation, and is doing internal investigations to correct it.

Mona is great on mobile!

I use https://elk.zone on desktop though.

Wow. Thanks for mentioning this.

I wish there were some sort of bonus thank you points on Lemmy. I guess I'll just give you a 🍟

Pretty much anything by Yuval Noah Harari: Sapiens, Homo-Deus, and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century

Taken as a trilogy of sorts, they manage to do a great job of explaining how humanity got to where we are now, and assuming current trends continue, where we're headed in the future. All without being super dense and academic.

Yiddish! I have to prepare for being an old Jewish man who tells confusing jokes. 👴 🤣

Also Yiddish insults are amazing. 😄

Na-Ma-e

Is that a question?

It's hard to tell what's a bug in the app and what's a bug in the underlying Lemmy service these days.

Hooray for early days of software development! 😀

I found the web UI on mobile a bit clumsy for my big thumbs.

There's a couple early beta apps for iOS:
