  • Lamf just posts fake shit now? Seems counter to its stated purpose.

  • Thunderbird will be releasing a mail service called Thundermail.

    https://blog.thunderbird.net/2025/04/thundermail-and-thunderbird-pro-services/

    If you ending up needing a mail client like Thunderbird, consider Betterbird. It's just a more-polished version of Thunderbird.

  • Slaves. They did it with slaves.

  • Ich spreche sehr bisschen und nicht sehr gut.

    Rammstein singt nicht ĂĽber die Bibliothek.

  • 2,337 days in on learning German. My goal is to understand all of the band Rammstein's library of work without needing a translator.

  • No, space daddy told me via ancient text that's been translated multiple times that there's nothing waiting on the other side.

  • "company says."

    Well, that's enough legitimacy for me.

  • I've only bought two new cars but don't consider the depreciation a scam, it's something everyone knows is going to happen going into it so although I feel I made a bad choice doing it, I don't blame the dealership. The high-pressure bullshit is also to be expected, sadly.

    Used, OTOH, is an absolute scam. On trade-in, they make number adjustments to get the used car basically free and on the sale-end, they dress it up, tell the buyer that it's been through a 5,000 point quality check and sell you whatever got bought at auction or traded in. They get even scammier if you finance through them. I've seen 16% interest rate for a buyer with an 800+ credit score.

    The whole thing is predatory in nature.

  • It's no more or less a news aggregator than Facebook. You may find something relating to news on lemmy but you're just as likely to find a drawing of a couple furries fisting each other.

    I consider the site an online community where anyone can participate in or create a category to discuss anything under the sun.

  • Buying a car from a dealership.

  • Just so I'm clear I also think Reddit is garbage at keeping out the bad apples, and the community moderators on Reddit tend to be free speech absolutists too, but at least on Reddit there is more actual human content.

    You could have saved a lot of writing by just replacing everything with "it's not busy enough for me." I guess you just needed to complain about the other stuff that you admit also exists at the place you're going back to but are ok with when it's at that site.

  • I guess if the males you're fucking aren't altar boys, it's frowned upon.

  • I believe the 2020 change is that the receptacle needed to be GFCI protected. The convenience receptacles have been in the book for longer.

  • I think NEC dictates that a convenience 110v receptacle must be within 25 ft of a WH so that's probably why the company assumes the plug is enough.

    I saw that some of the Chinese alphabet branded options on Amazon did list 240v capable but I'd never trust one for the job.

  • Congrats. If funds permit, consider swapping the anode rod for a powered unit. Pretty much negates scale buildup, smells and corrosion. It also lasts the life of the tank, unlike the sacrificial anode rod.

  • I'm trying to work through Death Stranding right now. I've started it 3 or 4 times but I've gotten farther this time than any of the past attempts. I'm definitely playing care-bear(no aggro, mostly) but the world is very interesting.

  • It sounds like you've found some games you like but are turned off of by some difficulty bottlenecks. If that's the case, considerWeMod. It's a trainer for a ton of games that allow you to "cheat" in singleplayer games(god mode, speed hacks, etc.)

    I still love playing games but as I get older, my tremors get worse, making it impossible for me to get through one on my own. WeMod allows me to explore all of the game world without being stopped by something as simple as clicking on something quickly.

    Smart TVs taking snapshots of your screen and phoning home - Is there a list of IP ranges to block?

    My question is: Can you block the IPs it's phoning home to without breaking other TV functions, like OS/app updates, etc? Is there a list of IPs available for smart TVs specifically that keep the fingerprint from being received by the mfg?

    A cocky expression

    Wanted to get one in before the death of the instance.
