Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who do you think had killed John F Kennedy ?English
4·2 days agoI must say that from the Zapruder film, it really does look like he was shot from the front the second (?) time.
Somewhere down the JFK assassination documentary rabbit hole, I remember one commentator saying something like “we’re trying to determine the reality of an event from a series of two-dimensional moving images,” or something along those lines.
Anyway, noodling about this probably isn’t the best use of my time . . .

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•YouTube alternatives. Are there any high traffic alternatives?English
5·3 days agoThere’s Dailymotion, though it’s not open source or federated.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who do you think had killed John F Kennedy ?English
9·4 days agoGetting into crackpot territory here, but I think the assassination might very well have had some connection to MKULTRA. The CIA destroyed all the files related to this, and so unless they missed some, we’ll probably never know for certain.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Note taking app that I can link between my laptop and phone ?English
3·6 days agoActually, you can use Signal for this, if you have it on both your phone and laptop, and use “note to self.” I prefer this because it’s very straightforward and isn’t bogged down with a lot of extraneous extra features that other notetaking apps I’ve tried tend to have.

Firefox@lemmy.ml•Mozilla is working on a big Firefox redesign, here is what it looks likeEnglish
181·9 days agoRight. My sentiments exactly. Hopefully this won’t trickle its way into LibreWolf …

World News@lemmy.ml•Young Americans Aren’t Buying Old Narratives on ChinaEnglish
6·9 days agoParents of the future will have to change it to “don’t you know children are starving in Gaza?” And undoubtedly lots of other places too 🙁.

Proton @lemmy.world•Is the Linux mail desktop client ever going to get a collapsible (right) side bar like the web version has?English
3·11 days agoThis is a great tip! Didn’t even think of it, though I kind of knew it existed. I actually ended up using the WebApps app on Linux Mint, and, voila! An up-to-date web interface made local! Now if we could just get contact photos to display for everyone, and add the ability to sort contacts by surname, I’d be kissing the moonbeams off my elbows (meaning that I’d be even happier than I am now 😁).
Hmmm . . . what other web apps could I make? 🤔

Space, the final frontier@lemmy.ml•NASA Cancels Artemis III's Crewed LandingEnglish
3·13 days agoI’m actually kind of glad to hear this because I was worried about the safety of the astronauts . . .

Good News@lemmy.ml•'Toilet wars’: US naval crews face plumbing chaos en route to Middle EastEnglish
1·13 days agoI’m not happy that the US sailors are suffering here because of the stupidity and shortsightedness of their commanders, but if it does anything to impede American imperialism . . . maybe they’ll rethink their choice of career. Has anyone told them about the 1917 Kronstadt Mutiny? 🤔

13·13 days agoSo does this mean we won’t have to give Google hundreds of $$$ to get one of their Pixels?🙏

Firefox@lemmy.ml•Any way to get the old tab design back?English
2·14 days agoIs it still possible to switch back to the old one? I really don’t see why they feel the need to make this change.
EDIT: Just updated to Fennec 148, and it looks like my reversion to the old menu held. I’m assuming that they’ll nuke this option a release or two from now. They should keep both options.

LibreWolf @lemmy.ml•JOOC why and when was .librewolf folder moved to .config on Linux Mint?English
2·25 days agoThanks to you both! Can you explain, like you might to a three-year-old, why this is considered a bug? Not smart enough to understand the links you sent unfortunately.
EDIT: Also, should I move my .librewolf folder to .config, and if so, is there a “best practices”-type way of doing it besides just cutting and pasting?

Technology@lemmy.ml•Any ideas where I can get a *dedicated* book scanner?English
5·1 month agoOh, excellent! Thank you very much!
EDIT: Unfortunately for me, I made the mistake of telling Mrs. Erinaceus about the site, and now she wants to buy a jackhammer, a couple of small buildings, and a health writer. 🤦♂️


















That’s a question only Uatu can answer.
