If I've learned anything from plastic signs on the side of the road, it's "Trump low prices. Kamala high prices."

I thought people on Lemmy supported free software.

You can't just make a simple list on any site that uses markdown. It removes line breaks. Why? So some nerd can post an 80 character formatted email from a listserve and have it look normal in markdown. It's archaic and stupid.

At any rate, this "feature" makes your list look like a giant paragraph:

Castlevania Castlevania II Simon's Quest Castlevania III Dracula's Curse Super Castlevania IV Castlevania The Adventure Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge Castlevania Bloodlines Kid Dracula

You have to end each line with two spaces to force markdown to preserve the line breaks. Or you have to start each line with an asterisk and a space to make a bulleted list.

I'm going to fix it for you so other people can read it more easily, and also fix some of your typos:

Castlevania Castlevania
Ill Simon
Quest Castlevania
Ill Dracula
Curse Super
Castlevania is Castlevania
The Adventure
Castlevania II: Belmont Revenge's Castlevania Bloodlines Kid
Dracula

That's not comparable. The situations are quite different. Let me explain:

In your example: Windows. It's basically the "default" operating system. Billions of users. Some of those billions are kinda dumb and will type in a command or delete a folder because the Internet said so. Ok, so you ruined the day of some dummy with a practical joke. Not particularly funny, but whatever, it's just some dummy.

In the Linux example, here's how it goes. There's an alternative OS people can try out. People who are fed up with Microsoft. They install Linux for the first time, and what's their first experience? Some practical joke ruins their day. These are the people we want! The good ones. The ones brave enough to try out Linux, and their first experience is a dumb meme that ruins their day, or week, and totally turns them off from the Linux community.

This is not the same as pranking some dumb Windows users.

That's not googling, that's ducking. Besides everyone knows you should get that kind of answer from ChatGPT.

"How" like how to enable it? I don't know.

"How" like how does it work? It adds layers to the raw data.

I just really hate the noise reduction in JPEGs on Pixel Phones. You can't "crop and zoom" at all! It looks like some weird painting style.

IPhone does it right by adding all of the AI processing to RAW files as data, so you can crop and edit a raw file and then apply the same AI processing it would have had it you had used JPEG mode.

I watched a video years ago where poor street cooks in SE Asia were "mining" cooking oil out of the sewer. They would refine it and use it to cook food.

Edit: It was China. I think I found the exact video, but it turns out there are a lot of similar videos!

https://youtu.be/zrv78nG9R04

Fun fact from the video: it's estimated that 10% of cooking oil in China is "gutter oil".

That gets squirted directly onto canvas and sold to fans.

The published order. Always.

EDIT: It's something to do with my VPN and/or EasyTether, but it only happens in Firefox, so I didn't think that could be it. I commented about my findings below: https://lemmy.world/comment/7585497


I start a video and it either doesn't load at all of stalls within 5 seconds, never to recover.

I've tried everything:

  • Deleting every Mozilla folder in AppData to completely refresh Firefox. (after backing up my profile)
  • Flushing DNS cache
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. (Which made me remember I had a policies.json file in the program folder to permanently lockdown the settings I want. So that wasn't the problem either.)

Even when using no extensions like an ad blockers it still won't play videos. Besides, I'm a Premium subscriber. Once in a while a video will work, but it's so, so rare. And often it'll even stop after a minute.

Meanwhile, it'll work in the DuckDuckGo Browser all the time, which is Chromium based.

What do you think the deal is? It broke rather suddenly a few weeks ago. Do you think it's Mozilla's fault, or Google's?
