    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.

    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.

  • thekerker thekerker 1 year ago 100%

    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 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.

    I'm in Illinois, USA, and downstate you see mostly United States flags at businesses and residences (and the occasional confederate battle flag hanging at morons' homes).

    What's funny, is that when you get up to Chicago, people there mostly fly the city of Chicago flag over any others.

    I have a Pixel 7 with a Super Shieldz screen protector and a Peak Design case. I really like the PD case for several reasons:

    • It covers the entire phone with a raised lip around the screen and has a flush back so it sits flat on surfaces
    • I have a Peak Design bike mount that the case magnetically attaches to so I have a secure phone mount while riding my bike
    • The aforementioned magnetic feature makes it work perfectly with MagSafe wireless chargers, essentially giving my phone MagSafe capabilities
