Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone have a guide explaining music genres
2·8 days agoIf I encountered someone I thought was bullshitting me about some Gen alpha Internet micro genre, I’d probably just roll with it too while admiring the improv.

Linux@programming.dev•The new macOS 27 beta changes Apple's boot picker in a way that hides the Asahi Linux partition, preventing Apple Silicon Mac users from booting into their Linux installations.
8·10 days agoI was just saying that your own description of events made you sound like a troll. I don’t know the truth of the matter and frankly it’s irrelevant. If they are working closely with Apple, those kinds of comments on what I assume was their own public forum are an unhelpful distraction at best and potentially detrimental to their corporate relationship with Apple. You could be %100 correct about Apple and the devs could %100 agree with your sentiment, but that doesn’t mean that the social media forum they host is an appropriate place for that kind of discussion. It’s not helpful for them and only has the potential to make their situation worse. They blocked you and moved on so they could focus on the project instead of the noise. Even if your intentions were good (and I do actually believe you meant well) I understand why they did what they did.

139·11 days agoThis sounds like you were harassing a volunteer dev that had an actual direct interaction with a corporation based on hearsay and they rightfully blocked a troll that wasn’t contributing anything meaningful or constructive to the project.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 yearsEnglish
43·12 days agoNot OP, but I have similar feelings and they have nothing to do with the client or plugins. If I can’t easily and securely share my Jellyfin with the Internet beyond my LAN without resorting to a VPN, then Jellyfish is not going to come close to replacing Plex. Sharing my library securely with tech illiterate family and any browser I have access to, without modification, was the one and only reason I moved away from XBMC/Kodi and installed Plex in the first place. Jellyfin is fine inside my LAN and for my personal use, totally fails at hosting.

Wikipedia@lemmy.world•Zoophyte -- "A zoophyte (animal-plant) is an obsolete term for an organism thought to be intermediate between animals and plants, or an animal with plant-like attributes or appearance."English

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What should I use to replace my phone in my car?
3·1 month agoTasker can still automate almost all of this for you.
I setup some tasker automations so that I can leave my phone entirely in my pocket. When my phone connects to my car Bluetooth it: turns up media volume, sets the phone to “do not disturb”, opens and starts playing the last music player I was using (podcast, Spotify, Plexamp, or your media player of choice. Notably mine never switches to things that play video by default), initiates lockdown on my phone in case of fascists, etc. If I want to navigate somewhere or choose something different to listen to, that is something I start before I start the car. I get all my navigation cues via voice guidance, but the quality of that guidance can suffer from vagueness in general and confusion specifically in the midst of construction. I used to have it automatically read text messages aloud, but between reaction emojis, photos, gifs, and links that became super annoying. You can also setup an auto-reply to incoming texts that just say, “I’m driving and I’ll get back to you later.” That turned out to be annoying to, so I just silence them all. When my phone disconnects from my car Bluetooth, tasker sets everything back to the way it was before with the exception of lockdown mode.
Using voice commands kind of requires relaxing your privacy requirements, so I left those options out of this discussion.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which computer-related belief do you hold without any foundation?
4·2 months agoIn order to keep printers working properly they require regular blood sacrifices, tears are also acceptable. Most printers get these by accident as people clear paper jams, refill ink or toner cartridges, etc. Some printers clearly behave and perform better long term than others. More complexity (colors, 2 sided printing, large format, etc.) usually correlates to a larger thirst for blood/stress/anxiety. Remember Colin Robinson, the psychic vampire from “What We Do in the Shadows”? I’m pretty sure his spirit animal would be a color inkjet printer/scanner combo from late 90’s.

Wikipedia@lemmy.world•Cop slide (that one in Boston where a cop got hurt sliding down it)English
7·2 months agoHave you actually seen it first hand? My impression after hearing about it on 99% Invisible (a design podcast) was that the cop exited with such a great velocity specifically because it was designed for children sized people, not adults. Not trying to start an argument, just curious.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you call the comedy shows/pranks where a person interacts with somebody based on instructions from another person who talks to him through an earphone?
1·2 months agoThey are named after the show that started it, Candid Camera.
Maybe you’re referring to the inprov spin-off of this idea, where even the “prankster” doesn’t know what’s going to happen until they receive secret instructions. Probably still called a Candid Camera type show, but I’m sure that’s not the name of the specific show.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you call the comedy shows/pranks where a person interacts with somebody based on instructions from another person who talks to him through an earphone?
1·2 months agoThe boring answer is that the “victims” sign a release after the prank. People that start throwing punches are probably unlikely to sign that release. Also, back in the day these things were done by professionals, harmless, and a well known phenomena. Imagine Dick Clark types, not Johnny Somali.
Regardless of the original reason, it keeps drips from running down the neck all the way to the bottom, which can stain surfaces with surprising tenacity.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•The Small Website Discoverability CrisisEnglish
26·2 months agoI’d like to see ideas like this make a comeback, hopefully with some modifications this time around to protect our privacy and resist corporate exploitation.
We used to use del.icio.us and other variants to do exactly this before browsers had profiles. Back then, its primary draw was that you could take your bookmarks with you anywhere to any machine (this being before that function was baked into browsers and before web browsers could be carried in your pocket). The secondary effect was that you’d share and tag those websites with your own categories/descriptors, thus crowdsourcing a new version of the old web’s link directories using Web 2.0. You could browse through symantic tag clouds to discover new things. Del.icio.us was for websites, but people were tagging and logging all of their favorite stuff and sharing it online so that like minded strangers could filled the gaps in their cultural awareness. We tagged our books with librarything. We tagged recipes with recipe thing. Audioscrobbler (later known as last.fm) logged our music listening to automate the tagging, not by direct symantic tagging, but by relational/temporal coincidence. If other people that listened to a lot of the stuff you listened to and they also listened to some other stuff you didn’t, those became recommendations for you. That kind of relational algorithm would survive the slow death of Web2.0 to become the backbone of recommendation services like Spotify and probably even TikTok.
Ever really destroyed your server because the it needed were available? I have. It was so much worse than a boot process that froze.
If Systemd was pausing due to a network share being down, it’s only because I (or you) told it to do exactly that. There are lots of good reasons to delay the boot process until all drives the system expects to be there are actually there or the network is up. Cleaning up the mess that happens when the system does not check these kinds of things at boot is so much worse. It’s never really some nebulous thing. Like it or not, intentional or not, the machine is doing exactly what you asked it to do and a delayed boot or a boot halted until you can solve the real problem is almost always better (or at least safer) than the alternatives. I’ve experienced all the things you’ve mentioned, dealt with each of those issues, and it was so much more of a hassle to diagnose before Systemd.
If you haven’t grown up drinking it, coconut water tastes a bit funky the first time you try it. The first time I tried it, it was kind of funky and I didn’t care much for it. The second time I tried coconut water was after hiking several miles in high heat, sunshine, and high humidity, it still tasted a bit funky. It tasted exactly the same actually, but this time, being quite dehydrated and nearing heat exhaustion, it tasted fucking amazing. Now I love that sweet coconut water umami, so much better than Gatorade or any other sports drink.
