I had to put some WD-40 on a seized cum the other day to unscrew it.

Two examples I can think of:
“It’s a tie”, as in a draw, translated to mean “it’s a necktie”
“Roger that” translated to mean “that must be a man named Roger”

Privacy@lemmy.world•Papa Johns Can Predict When Your Fridge Is Empty | AdExchangerEnglish
13·24 days agoYou know some board members touched themselves at night thinking about how much extra money they could get from you by charging you extra when they detect your fridge is empty.
The ones in the picture are not on the roof.
In any case, I don’t think that really makes a difference ultimately. Rooftop solar doesn’t make that much power in the grand scheme of things. It’s proper facilities that make the real power, and those are usually large solar farms, which are built over (usually rural) land dedicated for that purpose and do require more than 10km of cable to connect to the rest of the grid. Just like any other power plant, really.
I mean solar is great and all, I just don’t see that being a real benefit in any grid where solar is responsible for any significant percentage of generation. Or am I misunderstanding the argument entirely and talking about something else?
What does “doesn’t require much of a grid” even mean? I genuinely don’t understand that one.

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Microsoft Will Again Force-Install Microsoft 365 Copilot App on Windows 11English
0·1 month agoLast week I almost missed my train because of windows update.
Every day my hatred for Windows, well Microsoft as a whole really, grows. Every time I launch the almost incomprehensibly bad piece of shit that is Outlook, every time I have to restart explorer.exe because of some dumb bug that I remember from Windows 7, every time I try to mount a network share that has the same hostname as an already mounted one, every time the start bar launches Edge (not my default browser) to look something up on Bing (not my default search engine) despite my having turned that feature off, every time I have to dive into some settings to disable yet another copilot button, my desire to break into Satya Nutella’s home when he’s on vacation and spill old milk all over his furniture increases by a noticeable degree.
I thought I knew what the word bias meant but I’m not so sure anymore.

As far as I know it’s dangerous play, because you’d be making it impossible for anyone to challenge the ball without things getting dangerous. You’re supposed to defend the ball by using your athleticism to fend off your opponents, not by using medieval battlefield tactics to force a siege.
Gnome is more stable in my experience. The base Gnome without any extensions is rock solid and just works without a hitch. Problem is that it’s bland as hell and not very practical. Most of the popular extensions to make the DE are also pretty solid and reliable, as gnome’s extension API doesn’t really allow them to break anything in any spectacular way. Plasma allows better and more powerful extensions, but they also tend to have a bigger effect on the DE’s stability.
That said, I fucking hate how Gnome devs handle the extension API. Every update to Gnome disables all the extensions even if there’s no breaking changes that would cause them to stop working. You gotta either manually edit their manifest files to trick Gnome into thinking they’ve been updated to the latest DE version, or you gotta wait for the devs to update. Every now and then they do release a breaking change that does break things too, and things get annoying. I used to maintain a relatively popular-ish, very simple Gnome extension. But eventually I got sick and abandoned because nobody’s got time to deal with Gnome’s extension API. I had to rewrite some basic shit for no good reason one too many times.

Android@lemmy.world•Google's Android-powered laptops are called Googlebooks, and they're coming this yearEnglish
3·2 months agoBecause android means ARM, and I want there to be more mobile ARM devices that can run regular ol’ Linux. Currently there aren’t very many of those that aren’t either Apple (and therefore mostly useless because Apple tries hard to make sure Linux doesn’t run very well on their hardware) or otherwise pretty expensive. Who knows, maybe these turn out to be good low cost ARM Linux machines. Though I won’t be holding my breath.
Ah yes. The Playstation 1 Spider-Man.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can we possibly create our personal email ?
0·2 months agoI’ll confirm everything everyone else said. Hosting your own email server is a major pain in the ass for many unrelated reasons. The mail stack is complex. You need to do a whole bunch of things right to avoid your setup from getting flagged as spam. You need to secure it real well. Hosting it at home is likely to be almost impossible because it is very common for residential internet subscriptions to have the required ports blocked, and the ISPs will very often refuse to open them for you even if you have a nice static IP. Getting around that is not gonna be easy.
There’s a reason why so many ardent homelabbers refuse to touch email hosting with a 10 foot pole.

On Android the default camera app is usually the only app that provides all of that. Which is actually a problem. You usually lose your camera’s higher functions when you install a custom ROM and it’s usually an absolute pain in the ass to get them back if it’s at all possible because cameras and their drivers are all poorly documented proprietary crap.
