Acetamide@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?English3·2 years agoYeah I’m glad that some series (Pixel AFAIK) are now releasing slightly smaller phones, because the growth was getting ridiculous and highly impractical.
Acetamide@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Ruffle: Open source Flash Player emulator written in RustEnglish2·2 years agoThanks for your explanation!
Acetamide@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Ruffle: Open source Flash Player emulator written in Rust5·2 years agoAs Flash was known for it having more holes than a Swiss cheese, how is Ruffle in terms of security?
Acetamide@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation?71·2 years agoIf I remember correctly, dark roast was also originally devised to hide bad-quality coffee beans. Nowadays it is often implied that darker roasts are better, which actually isn’t necessarily the case.
Acetamide@lemmy.worldtoToday I learned@lemmy.ml•TIL that in 2017, two students in Aberdeen left a pineapple in an art gallery. It was mistaken for art and when they returned a few days later it was enclosed in glass.English1·2 years agoI wonder whether this happened in other museums around the world and people just have not caught on yet.
Just a general PSA: you should be really careful where you get your chargers. The very cheap, low quality chargers have quite a tendency to burn your house down!
Acetamide@lemmy.worldtoToday I learned@lemmy.ml•TIL that cochineal extract, also known as carmine or Natural Red 4 is a food dye made from crushed up bugs.2·2 years agoFor people in the EU: anything with E120 in the list of ingredients contains cochineal extract.
Really nicely made! A suggestion from me would be, keeping with the Mars theme, Olympus Mons to show its scale. However it may be difficult as it is of course spread out a lot apart from being very tall.
Acetamide@lemmy.worldtoToday I learned@lemmy.ml•TIL that the library Biblioteca Joanina in Coimbra, Portugal is home to a swarm of bats that feed on book-eating insects.English1·2 years agoI’m actually surprised that those book-eating insects are such a problem there that they need to get those bats to get rid of them.
Acetamide@lemmy.worldto Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit experimenting with blocking mobile browsers14·2 years agoThey act like everyone already uses reddit and the users are so addicted they’ll put up with anything.
To be honest, this may actually be true for a significant portion of the userbase.
Acetamide@lemmy.worldto Technology@beehaw.org•so, which Big Tech company do you think is going to shit the bed next and popularize its Fediverse/FOSS equivalent in the process?5·2 years agoCompletely agree! Especially if it some kind of product support. I hate having to scroll through thousands of chronically ordered chat messages to find the solution to the problem I’m having.
Acetamide@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your favorite insult that doesn't sound like an insult?1·2 years agoIn a similar vein, if something is written down: really nitpicking on grammatical and spelling mistakes and adding [sic] to quotes.
ITT: nope, not touching anything touched by Zuckerberg.
I think it is safe to assume that’s happening now anyway. As long as anyone can access the data at the moment, they will too.
Unfortunately websites can’t really go private :P
So after June 30th we will not have an idea about the state of things anymore… :P
Acetamide@lemmy.worldto Science@beehaw.org•A "supervolcano" in Italy last erupted in 1538. Experts warn it's "nearly to the breaking point" again.English2·2 years agoAh yes, “Burning Fields”… How idyllic
Acetamide@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken?4·2 years agoYeah, it’s going to take some time to get rid of the ‘open RIF’ reflex.
Acetamide@lemmy.worldOPto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken?5·2 years agoJust speaking for myself, I find absolutely no interest in those platforms you mention: they do not show any really depth if you know what I mean. I love going around various sublemmies (if that’s the word) and discussing these absolute niches.
I always liked Terminator because of the easy splitscreening.
