adhocfungus,

The Blood Machines OST is my favorite album of any genre, and I’ve never even seen the movie.

adhocfungus,

It was definitely considered piracy by the public at the time. Everyone I knew called it a “legal grey area”, but as far as I know it was legally permissable.

The media companies tried their hardest to make it sound like you were destroying the entire industry and you’d go to jail for life as soon as they caught you.

What makes me mad is the boomers I watched copy rentals and NFL games are the same ones telling me I’m stealing by using an ad blocker.

adhocfungus,

It was fun to see Michael Emerson in Fallout with a dog that looks just like Bear. He’ll always be some variation of Finch to me.

What are some free interests/things/hobbies you can do in the city?

I live alone and I’m just wasting away my time here. It’s actually making me very depressed to be honest. I do live in the city which makes think there ought to be at least something to do out here. Though I can’t really afford to spent money on it every day....

adhocfungus,

I agree on board games.

See if there are Board Game shops in your city. If they have tables for Magic the Gathering you can check their calendar and usually find open board gaming nights. In my experience people usually bring a bunch of their own games and are open to new players. Some of the people in our group don’t own any games; the rest of us are always bringing more than we can possibly play anyway.

adhocfungus,

If he’s in it then I’ll have to add that to my watch list. He is incredible in Foundation.

adhocfungus,

I was thinking the same thing. I would be ok with a passenger rail to Milwaukee, then to Chicago.

adhocfungus,

This is the weirdest coincidence. I was sitting in the park earlier and a guy pulled up in one of these: https://midwest.social/pictrs/image/16999ff2-134e-4f60-a14e-5987d2035b6a.jpegThe closest thing I have ever seen in rural Midwest US was a Smart car, or a Reliant Robin on Top Gear. I thought about talking to the guy but he was playing basketball with his kid.

I tried to think of how to look up the car when I knew nothing about it, but Google Lens was my only idea and I didn’t want to take pictures of the guy’s car like a creep.

So I decided to scroll Lemmy for a couple minutes and landed on here. I clicked your link for the Isseta and that was it. Any other app and I would have assumed my phone was spying on me. Wild.

adhocfungus,

I just looked him up. The face is almost exactly the same, but the guy at the park was much skinnier.

adhocfungus,

I have no advice, but I have a similar issue. Firefox on Windows 10 with just uBlock Origin.

YouTube works fine at first, but if I watch a lot of videos in a row then after an hour or so it starts to load slowly. Then it stutters, then finally I get audio and a single frame for the whole video. Shorts seem to accelerate the descent. I haven’t tried live streams yet, but I bet I’d get the same result.

Completely closing all Firefox instances and reopening fixes it for an hour. It acts like a memory leak, but I’m not even close to maxing out my RAM when it crashes. My fans get loud which makes me wonder if it’s botching the hardware acceleration.

Sadly I can’t help beyond telling you you’re not crazy.

adhocfungus,

Goatse. It took me like 20 tries to finally see it, but now it’s unmistakable.

adhocfungus,

When I was a kid we would have yearly morel hunts. My uncles were always scouting the neighbors’ woods, and once morels were sighted we’d sneak onto their property and gather bags of 'em. We’d usually get about 10 pounds between the six of us cousins. Then Grandma would fry them up and we’d feast.

One year I ate at least a pound by myself. That night I got so violently ill I thought I would die. I never ate morels again.

Now you have me wondering if one of us picked a not-morel and I was the unlucky one who ate it.

adhocfungus,

Is it bad that I find this reassuring? I love Heilung’s music, but I’ve been too nervous to check out if they’re Nazis. Now I don’t have to worry.

adhocfungus,

I was just thinking this should be a “First time?” meme instead. It feels like there’s always one instance down.

But it’s nice that Lemmy as a whole is never down, just individual pieces.

adhocfungus,

Universe is my favorite, with SG1 close behind. I feel like Universe tried too hard to be Battlestar Galactica at first and the network wasn’t impressed when it didn’t hit it off like BSG. I would have loved another season.

adhocfungus,

I thought this was one of those Korean street vendor corn dogs where the meat is wrapped in cheese. Took me a minute to realize the pale part is apparently a hollowed out pickle.

adhocfungus,

I remember seeing it as a kid and loving it. But my dad fell asleep in the theater, which probably isn’t a good sign. I haven’t had the heart to watch it since. I suspect it doesn’t hold up.

adhocfungus,

We need a Thanks I Hate It (TIHI) community on Lemmy. I don’t like this news you have posted, but I do appreciate that you posted it.

adhocfungus,

In college I lost one of my jobs and knew I needed another one fast or I wouldn’t be able to make rent. I spammed my resume on Indeed and Monster.

I got an email offering an IT-adjacent job in town. It was Saturday and they said I could stop by in a few weeks to fill out the paperwork or we could do it over the phone and start Monday. I called so I could get my first paycheck before the end of the month. We eventually got to her asking for my Social Security number and I froze.

I realized this could be a scam, but I was really desperate. I tried to think of a way to test them, so I said that I just realized I would be unavailable during certain hours, would that still be okay? She said she had to put me on hold to talk to the manager. After a while she came back and said it should work, but I would have to discuss the specifics with my supervisor once I started.

That sounded real to me. If it was a scam surely she would have just immediately said my schedule was fine, right? I gave her my SSN. She said I was ready to go and to have fun on Monday. I got there and it was just a parking lot. Couldn’t get a response via phone or email.

A couple months later I found out someone across the country had used my SSN and I had to freeze my credit.

otl, to fediverse

Apas: ActivityPub via email

https://apubtest2.srcbeat.com/apas.html

The overarching goal is an experimental system to make ActivityPub federation stuff clearer for devs, sysadmins and advanced users.

The documentation is incomplete and the code is really not OK! But they always say it's better to get stuff out the door for others to look at sooner. Maybe it inspires others to think about the Fediverse/ActivityPub in weird new ways!

PS thanks @emersion for your SMTP work!

adhocfungus,

Very interesting. It would certainly make doom scrolling harder. Email always feels more personal, like each message was sent specifically to me for a reason. As opposed to feeds, which feels like looking at cars as they drive by.

I think this system pushes against those boundaries. This sort of concrete brainstorming at the edges is such a crucial part of software evolution, so thank you.

adhocfungus,

I’m having the same issue in Jerboa. Never had issues with other large images. Thanks for the link.

adhocfungus,

I honestly don’t know. He can stand on it without issue, but he’s only 40 pounds. If I were to make this for an adult I’d need to do more math and some tests. My conservative estimate would be 50 pounds at the very edge. It got a little creaky at that point so I stopped testing it.

A floating desk for a gaming rig is definitely possible. I hope you end up doing it and showing us the results.

adhocfungus,

I rounded them just enough that it’s not going to hurt your hands, but I’m tempted to go further in case he runs into it. Since these just lift off the wall without needing to unscrew anything it’d be pretty easy. The toughest part would be repainting and finishing. I’m also a bit worried about chip-out since I was too lazy to cap the edges of the plywood with hardwood.
