some say a comet will fall from the sky, Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still Followed by billions of dumb-founded dipshits Some day the end is near Some say we’ll see armageddon soon I certainly hope we will I sure could use a vacation from this Stupid shit, silly shit…

One great big festering neon distraction I’ve a suggestion to keep you all occupied: learn to swim

Mom’s gonna fix it all soon. Mom’s coming round to out it back the way it ought to be…

Depends. It was dogshit when it launched, but now I get over 100mbps down. I did have to relocate the wireless modem box they gave me, though. And of course, YMMV, as did mine at launch.

Fuck the Daily Mail.

Yeah no. Plaid is one thing but giving access to your bank login to pay an invoice is something quite another. If it’s legit they can accept a card payment, or send you to a PayPal invoice.

🎶 Ooh baby don’t you know I suffer Oh baby when you phished my bank You sent me to a dodgy website Using a convincing link

Ooooooh-ooooh You drained my bank account Ooooooh-ooooh You drained my bank account🎶

Do the improved Chromium browsers all count as bad browsers now? I use Vivaldi. I’m not certain but I think DuckDuckGo’s browser might be based on Chromium, too.

Vivaldi still displays a face. It’s probably a Chromium thing.

It’s like he’s a real life Zaphod Beeblebrox, only far, far worse.

Press and hold? I hadn’t thought about that idea to be honest, I’ll have to try that next time. I use Vivaldi on both Android and desktop, which is based on Chromium (the open source project base for Google Chrome).

Edit - just tried it, didn’t work for me. It’s not an option in my menu. I’ll try and figure out the dev console on mobile and post here if I figure it out.

Good evening. Tonight’s nightmare/night terror is brought to you by erev@lemmy.world.

Reminds me of when I aliased ‘man’ to ‘rtfm’

Sounds like doublespeak to me. “we will grant your request except for where we won’t, because of reasons affecting x y and z, but not condition a”

Yes - I’m considering this about myself recently, that I have been undiagnosed ASD and ADHD. Try the test on the ADHD Centre’s website, and cross-reference with the Aspie test perhaps. Then if you get positive results, take these to your local (or even the ADHD centre or another nearby private clinician, since the waiting times could be quite long 3-10 years in the UK).

I can definitely relate to those issues and it matches with my yet-unconfirmed, highly suspected case of AuDHD. It’s quite common to have both.

ISO 8601, it’s the only way.

My son was premature and racked up 14 days in the NICU. The hospital (which is ‘legally a charity’ billed $250,000.00. We were low-income with no employer-provided medical insurance, so the state Medicare provider got to pay a reduced rate of that.

Libretube. Get v0.19 or higher, youtube just screwed around with its code and broke v0.18. I love how it works with sponsor block to even skip those “this video is brought to you by xyz incorporated, be sure to Yada Yada Yada…” segments.

You can’t uninstall Chrome most likely, but maybe your stock/rom will allow you to “disable” it.

And then hoodwink people into upgrading with the promise of Material You themes 🙄

I hope Chromium-based Vivaldi is still okay. I’m pretty invested in some of its features (though I have to admit it is getting more bloaty).

Seems like the server side infrastructure is already there, and the clients just need to integrate it. It’s not as simple as an API call though but I guess it utilizes the Don’t Repeat Yourself and keep it simple (stupid) software development principles. Would be good to see this implemented

I always have this harrowing thought every time I was there (I lived in AZ, it was a once-every-few-years sort of affair). I have a memory of my Dad posing for a picture there, right where there’s an ankle-high wall leading to certain doom. He didn’t fall, but it wouldn’t take much and it gives me such Call of the Void vibes looking at that photo.

<shudder>
