You can have an IR blaster as an accessory for the headphone jack.

I like both the piped bot and the tldr bot for the same reason: I don’t need to visit a horribly bloated, ads and scripts ridden web site, which most news sites are. So I take the bot as a really good service. Also consider that without it I’d say most will just read the title and may make conclusions based on that. I’d say that’s a bigger advantage than the downsides you mention.

(Yes I use adblocks and stuff. Most news sites are still a drag to visit and difficult to read.)

I think the bot is fine in principle. The YouTube web site is fucking terrible and it’s nice to introduce people who don’t use automatic redirects or 3rd party clients to an alternative.

My problem is that it would offer only piped.video links. We don’t know how long the piped.video instance will work, but well that’s the case for any instance. Ideally a bot would provide at least two links - piped and invidious, and maybe cycle or randomly choose instances. Perhaps under a spoiler tag.

Of course it’s up to community mods to choose, but I think bots like this or the tldr bot provide value even if they can cause that “Reddit moment”.

The greatest DYKWIA I’ve ever seen

(I didn’t expect to use this picture twice in one day…)

Who said anything about striking?

Sometimes we skip bans and go directly to cutting off limbs with a lightsaber

I mean, I don’t have anything against this quote as it’s directly from the films, but I can’t guarantee some of my generals won’t get a bit trigger-happy haha

Get a multitool in a form of a credit card. Those usually go unnoticed, but no guarantee.

He works for Red Bull, so that’s sort of a requirement.

Ok and then you find that half of those connected conspiracies are actually true, and someone will rant about it or claim it’s not true, and that’s why I don’t like politics.

Lemmy: I don’t know, but I wouldn’t trust any bike helmet that I can’t compile myself from source. It’s best to just stay home behind (real) firewalls so the Big Bike doesn’t target you for your striped Linux socks.

Not just with itself, also with other elements. Say, you won’t find pure iron in the wild either, because normally it reacts with oxygen so well.

But yea oxygen needs to pair with something because its outer electron shell is incomplete. So pairing with another oxygen atom is likely, but also with whatever else is available - nitrogen, iron, whatever.

Most elements are found in molecules really, with the exception of noble gasses like Helium. And some are less reactive than others.

Were you in some boarding school for monks or something?

Well since they’re constant by tracking every device at all times and all the other devices and networks as well, might as well put that to good use.

I find it amusing how nobody noticed when Valve changed their name to Valve Corporation ages ago, and people keep referring to it as Valve Software.

I wouldn’t mind trying, but I was looking at the steps do get it working and that seems like such a drag…

I’d still prefer to use Sumatra just because how lightweight it is compared to modern browsers, plus no fucking telemetry
