Yeah I’m thinking about fuse filesystems and hotplugged USB keys though. There was a time when the feedback about devices being ready to unplug was bad for users.

This answer suffered the fog of time. Never needed it with the unmount command.

Uhm, been a while since I had to think of this but pretty sure you used to need to do that the other way around. Sync before unmount, else things may still be being written to disk.

named a TV show after it

The Springfields?

As much as I love Vulcan, AB… based on the qualifiers for this post, it is disqualified by Dildo, Newfoundland.

Dildo, Newfoundland, Canada: 803 people as of 2021.

Someone here mentioned Vulcan, Alberta - however given the qualifiers of country and size, its 1769 people disqualifies it.

Also, though I am a Trekkie myself and know that Vulcan is well known in those circles, it’s virtually unheard of outside them.

Meanwhile, Dildo:

How you fuckers doing, eh?

Designers need to wake up and realize their job is to understand what the user wants not what they saw in a wet dream.

I missed this, someone have the TL;DR for the clueless?

O.o this comment is from 2024?

The US continues to surprise me.

In Canada the driver is penalized if any of their passengers are not wearing a seatbelt. Refusal to wear one means getting booted from the vehicle.

Oh… This is it. The site I blacked out. Good grief what a horrible place.

There was some website that I’ve blacked out that had horrifying video of people dying in accidents. I remember someone sent me a link with a motorcyclist being hit by a train. I never clicked another link from that site.

It was worse than tubgirl.

I feel the same way about having to use Mac for work and going back to a Linux PC at the end of the day. God damn I hate Mac’s UX. From the entire UI, to the CMD key, to the fact that END functions as PGDN and goes to and of page instead of end of line.

Yep, for now I just add the Discourse forums to my RSS reader in Nextcloud and catch the new posts in the Nextcloud News app

Fediverse, Forums, or bust.

Because many sites intentionally give you different code because you’re not in a chrome browser and that code is frequently tested with lower priority or not at all due to market share. And Firefox is able to run chrome code.

Additionally some sites actively tell you that your browser is not supported and downgrade the experience because you are not using Chrome.

But in reality the sites really only react to the user-agent, so doing this just makes them use the chrome code.

There is absolutely nothing ‘Good’ about their will. Never has been.

Doughnut of power!!!

Speaking personally, while I am here, my participation in Lemmy is lacklustre at best; same with Mastodon. I got burnt out from social media and the years from 2016 - 2024 have really ruined my enthusiasm. I think maybe a lot are in the same boat. Maybe we’ll see more people come out of the “shields up, dark times overload” in a year or so… and maybe it will take longer.

Sigh… Not showing up for me. Is this affecting all regions?
