I have a habit of using a flashlight to go to the toilet in hotels or unfamiliar places, so I don’t stub my toe or other stupid stuff when doing the nightly toilet sleep walk.

So I grab the flashlight, point it around and notice a glint from the ceiling fan. The ceiling fan didn’t have an IR remote so it didn’t make sense and yup, sure enough it was a little lens that conveniently pointed towards the bed.

Fun thing: We actually signed a waiver that the house uses cameras, since there were a view regular ones on the perimeter for security, which seemed logical. That asshole really tried to play the “but you signed that you’re okay with being filmed” card.

Stopped using them once my girlfriend and I found a hidden camera.

Sueing was much more stressful than just getting a regular hotel. Never again.

Thank you!

Could someone explain what I’m missing here? Seeing this for the first time and it just seems like random words.

We definitely need Blender in the mix as well!

Also Signal, Bitwarden and Firefox.

Coldest was probably -20 °C, hottest around 40 °C.

My comfort temperature is right around 15 °C. Anything higher than 20 °C and I start sweating.

My girlfriend wants to go to Egypt for vacation this year. That’s going to be fun…

Most papers will be in PDF format and may contain colors as well. E-Ink is slowly getting there, especially with the rise of digital comics, but for the time being I wouldn’t trade my iPad and Pencil combo.

Not only is Rudd doing and amazing job as admin of the instance, they are also really transparent ab ob it the challenges in their frequent updates!

I see what you mean, but there’s also a large number of lurkers, who will only vote but never comment.

I don’t think it’s unfeasible to have a small number of comments on a highly upvoted post.

It is a pretty big deal. What it essentially means is that you are completely exposed, if you pardon the pun.

And yes, absolutely everyone with basic IT skills has access to this data as it is shared across instances. All it takes is a couple minutes to deploy a docker image and boom, I’m somewhat of an admin myself.

The fact that this data is stored in plain is a major security and privacy issue that makes me rethink this platform.

“Curating” makes it sound like you are some kind of porn connoisseur.

In no particular order:

• Remove API changes
• Remove u/Spez and his lovely executive board
• Make the site a non-profit project without ads, since most of the work is done by volunteers anyway

Oh, and for fucks sake: Remove that shit stain that is the official app from the universe.

Sure, but why grace the dumpster fire with traffic, when you also can just copy the relevant parts here?

Thank you for your effort in running this instance and also for being so transparent about the whole process.

When Reddit is Fun turns into Reddit is fucked.

And the sad part is that it seems like 99 % of Reddit’s population don’t care the slightest about that and are happily enjoying the ad- and telemetry infested piece of garbage Spez wants to shove down our throats.

My wallet is already waiting eagerly for a pro version.

In the meantime I can highly recommend Connect for Lemmy. Also a highly motivated dev with an awesome app.

It’s really fun to try out all these different apps.

I once handed in a citation from an answer to my Stack Overflow question.

Something along the lines of… “After hitting a roadblock the community at Stack Overflow was consulted, as suggested in the lecture, and deemed the task not feasible [1].”

The answer I put in the reference was one of the many variants of “Who in their right mind would do this in Matlab? Use Python instead.”

I passed lol.

That bot is an absolute menace. Often I come across a thread that would probably interest me, then I see 0 comments and the standard bot message and move on.

It also feels like it is really spamming those threads, which does not help the situation.

Personally, I would love to see it removed.

Oh boy, some 14-year old finally got his first power-trip boner! Congratulations to him for bending over.

I hope the rest of you guys step back and let him enjoy the joys of modding alone or with other incompetent shills.
