I have not verified the validity if those claims. I'll edit the post to reflect that.

The developers who created Lemmy are leftists, and they run the lemmy.ml instance. The lemmy.ml (.ml is for Mali, btw) domain was allegedly chosen because ML can also stand for Marxist-Leninist.

I'm not an expert on the subject, but lemmy.ml users are known for being tankies. People don't like that.

However, some of you whipper snappers don't know that those of us with really old accounts joined back when lemmy.ml was the most popular instance. I just like FOSS things.

Edit: added "allegedly"

Everyone in this thread seems to have brow hair much more tame than mine. I've been plucking my unibrow at least weekly for a decade, and I can tell you that it has never changed.

Look how old my account is. When I joined Lemmy, .ml was the top instance. I'm not a tanky. I am, however, a man who has to tweeze his unibrow frequently.

I've had no problems compressing Blu Ray MKVs into MP4s with handbrake (using MX Linux). My drive is a branded, internal one (I want to say LG or Asus.) I am at work right now, by I can look at the model number when I get home if you want. Interestingly, I have actually used it on both German Blu Rays and North American ones.

Bulbapedia rebranding to Zyarpedia got me. I was thinking "why?" It was also one of the first posts I saw yesterday.

What it would do in case of an accident? May I refer you to the documentary, Final Destination 2?

On the space telescope: we do that in real life. It can take years of observation, because you gotta wait for the planet/body to go in front of the star or complete orbit to fully analyze the wobble. In elite, could could fly to that planet and back in a sidewinder dozens of times in the time it would take you to get an accurate reading. Jus saying.

She's from Alabama. As someone from a neighboring state, I doubt she's heard any jokes. The only time I've never heard the word minge is from South Park.

 
 

Hello all!

My new phone (Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 running Android 14) keeps giving me this alert that an app is giving full screen notifications. The app in question is the freaking telephone app, which I of course want full screen notifications from! There's no option to disable the alert. (The two choices are "go to options" and "not now," by the way. And "go to options" takes you to the telephone app's notification settings.) I cannot seem to find a setting related to this, and I've disabled every Motorola app (including system apps) that I can find in the app list. Although, some of them don't allow disabling.

Anybody familiar with this by chance? I'm getting this stupid alert for every other phone call.

Thank you!

So far, I'm liking it. I rinsed it out before using, and there was trace amounts of blue ink already in the pen. Mysterious.

I filled it with Noodler's Heart of Darkness, and it writes very smoothly. Left it sitting overnight, and it continued writing smoothly this morning with no hiccups whatsoever. Very nice! It's supposed to be a "fine," but it really seems like more of a "medium" to me. It comes with a piston filling cartridge converter which didn't seem removable at first, but it just slides out if you pull on it a little.

I got it from AliExpress, if you're wondering. It will surely be available on eBay soon enough.

 

I tried to make my duplicate as different from the original as possible, but they fell in love anyway

 

I've tried to find them to no avail. I'm guessing the box sets just aren't made anymore, but I figured it's worth asking in case there's some obscure one out there somewhere.

To clarify, I'm looking for a more recent Linux version. I know the older ones can be found on auction sites and the like.

 

A dice tray or a set of dice is an obvious and universal choice. Anybody have any more ideas? Thanks in advance.
