Steps, cushions, lava lamp ;)
LinkedIn is like a tenth as bad as others. At least it is (still, somewhat) marginally useful.
Well the ads percentage in the feed keeps going up. And more AI generated crap. But show me a social network (that isn’t Lemmy) where that isn’t true.

MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works•It's considered bigotry by davel (lemmy.ml admin) to call out misinformation bots literally posting Russian misinformation on .mlEnglish
232·2 天前Only thing I worry about is that lemmy.ml is often the default server recommended for newbs. Plus the main devs are there.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•We'd never deport veterans, Noem says in earshot of deported veteranEnglish
35·2 天前They can sincerely hold these beliefs. They will just believe “not that veteran”

Winnipeg@lemmy.ca•Winnipeg moves to scrap bird-friendly window bylaw developers argue is barrier to development
2·6 天前This feels like maybe the rules should have been rolled out slower, rather than all at once – so that the proverbial frog (construction industry) didn’t jump out of the pot.
Left wall probably backs onto another building – no doors or windows on it.
Long baseboard heater tells me Linköping gets cold in winter ;)
Also, that fire extinguisher should definitely not just be sitting there.
New building? Probably that wall gets tastefully placed generic artwork eventually.
I actually only read the first four. Felt like a natural stopping point there. Pretty cool series though :)
Tangent, there is a fun fantasy book series by Adrian Tchaikovsky where all the main characters are humanoids with bug qualities. So basically spiderman, antman, mantisman, etc. It is entertaining when you mix fantasy tropes (dueling for honour!) with mantis arm spikes…
Troy@lemmy.catoHacker News@lemmy.bestiver.se•I cracked a $200 software protection with xcopyEnglish
9·8 天前This feels like an old school error, just with modern protection code.
Like in the Win95 days where the installer would ask for a serial number to install… But you could load the installer in a hex editor, look for the PKZ magic bytes, and run unzip on it. :)

Buy Canadian@lemmy.ca•Recommendation: Co-op Gold Pure teas - from Northern Saskatchewan Forage
4·8 天前Since I’m in Winnipeg, I buy it from a Co-op grocery store near my house. The article suggests that the company making it might just be badging it for Co-op and you may be able to get it directly. https://borealheartland.ca/

Gaming@lemmy.zip•Fallout co-creator Tim Cain's rejoined Obsidian full-time to work on a mystery game, but plans to keep his YouTube chats goingEnglish
4·8 天前Outer Worlds 2 just wasn’t as good without his full time oversight.
The Matrix was right. Lynch’s Dune was peak humanity.
This variant on the forkbomb brought to you by Google.
Penner is a common Mennonite surname, and there are are a lot of Penners in Canada. Mennonite low German (Plautdietsch) is more weirder.
The wiki page has some good sample texts comparing it between Dutch and Low German.

My surname (Unrau) is also Mennonite, but could be German.
This concludes my TED talk.
