What is this, a wedding with an orgy at the reception?

Me: cycling through every media players I have installed until I get one that plays the video properly.

VLC, MPV, MPlayer, Parole, etc

Nah, there’s a big difference between what and how much you’re allowed to block in V2 vs V3 - the current status V2 adblock is way outside the range of V3’s version.

I’d say V3 blockers can probably block at best 30% of what V2 can block. Which means it has to be selective. It essentially nuders the extension, making it worthless - an adblocker that only blocks some ads is not an adblocker at all. It’s more of an ad restrictor, and in heavily monetized sites it might not even be that.

The rest will go to some other chrome derivative that includes a built in adblocker.

Don’t they want people to sit on the park bench? That looks uncomfortable as even just general seating.

I do that if I lose the original bread tag.

If I still have the tag, it’s twist and tag.

Though with modern cardboard tags, it’s a bit more difficult and the tags wear out more quickly.

To late, the moment you uploaded them, they pretty much have carte blanche to do what they want with them, provided you own them.

If that were true, all the airport runways would need to have their runways numbers changed ASAP… with the exception of Canada’s runways, as they changed theirs to follow true north and not magnetic north.

There better be another half pipe on the other side of the street.

So in order to go inside the house… do you just… fall in the door? Or is it more like a basement door, with stairs inside it?

Having never blocked any of these things… I get a mix of both. Along with the new latest internet drama, a few memes that may or may not apply to me, and some occasional lovely asses and boobs.

It’s hard to say, while he did grow up stuck in a western town, outside of racing there’s not much else known about his life outside of what’s been show by him and his son.

You can’t make assumptions based on the stereotypes.

Cute…

That’s not for you to decide.

I just put my phone across the room. Alarm goes off and I have to get up to turn it off.

Though now I have a habit of pressing snooze once and diving back into bed.

But as a result I only ever press snooze once, because forcing me to get up to snooze it kinda turned the one 10 min snooze into a quick power nap, so I get up the second time and I’m always instantly wide awake.

Huh, I guess you’ve proved me wrong with that one. I will say though I wonder which one is easier to clean out. Can someone whose done both comment?

I like USB type C, it’s a great connector and lightyears better than micro-b, or even micro-b 3.0 but the biggest issue I’ve come across is that it’s so easy to get dirt in the phone connector.

In fact a couple months back I had to sit there with a super thin safety pin and clean all the compacted shmutz that had gotten in my phone connector, bexause it was so bad the clamp wasn’t engaging at all, and cables were getting more and more unreliable. Once I got it cleaned every cable I’ve ever bought worked perfectly.

Ive never seen the dirt issue or the clamp mechanism breaking on a lightning connector before - neither on my parents phones, or on the spare phone we keep as one of those old backup phones if someone’s phone gets smashed or drowned. But it’s not really saying much as I never kept the backup phone for long, as I hate apple and iPhones, so it’s entirely possible that under longer term use with me specifically that it could’ve got broken or dirty due to my uniquely rough way of handling things .

my current pixel 3a has a thick protective case, which has kept it mostly undamaged over the years I’ve had it, despite many drop events. The only thing that has stopped working on it was the NFC reader, and so far I’ve managed to avoid breaking the screen. I’ll probably keep using it till it stops functioning at this rate, as options for new phones don’t really fit my needs or wants.

Do we have a remindmebot equivalent here on Lemmy?

I wouldn’t have killed Regan had I gone back in time, I would’ve gone a bit further back and after Rockerfeller got forced to sell standard oil, I would’ve offed him just before he was able to use the money he gained to form Chicago University and it’s dreaded Chicago school of economics.(home to the ludicrous idea that the free market will regulate itself) Which I think had even worse consequences than Reganomics, if not directly influencing it.

At the very least, it would’ve likely extended the 30 years worth of post Roosevelt economic prosperity that decreased wage gaps, and actively created the middle class at least a bit longer before some other rich butthole got the same or a similar idea as Rockerfeller.

Yeah, you gotta look for Bluetooth receivers that have proper support. Some laptop receivers won’t work correctly - its only a select few receivers that actually have reliable drivers.

I myself use a Xbox one x|s controller wirelessly using the xpadneo driver. My first issue was the fact that the first USB Bluetooth receiver I bought didn’t work - turns out that certain Bluetooth receiver models you can buy from eBay/Amazon are often bootlegs of other models, and these bootlegs are just different enough that you have to modify the kernel to adjust for the quirks.

Given that USB Bluetooth receivers are cheap, (was like $20 Aussie dollars) I just bought another one and that one actually did work, instead of working out how to modify the driver.

Then I found that Xbox one controllers have this weird quirk due to the BTLE authentication system it has that results in it unable to stay permanently connected - it would constantly loop between connected and disconnected, at first I tried every method for getting it to work, and the only one that worked was that I had to attach my USB receiver to a windows VM, pair it, go into the windows registry to grab the auth key, and then implant it in the Linux Bluetooth configuration. Only then did it work flawlessly.

Problem is it’s a lot of fucking effort for a layman to attempt to work out and setup. And you also have to have either a windows machine, or a windows VM to connect the receiver you plan to use with the controller into.

But once you do it, the controller will always work on the PC, with that receiver. And you never need to worry about it untill you decide to reinstall linux- but in that case you just copy the same key across Linux installs.

Note: I don’t dual boot, but sometimes the dual boot method is the only way to get things to work Here’s the archwiki article I used to work out how to do it, only I used a windows VM instead of a second windows partition.

Here’s a list of good and bad dongles from the xpadneo Bluetooth page:

Go, and seee the beautiful, wide, wonderful WOOORLLD!

Ooh the sights you’ll seeeeeeee!
