Normal people: Serling. Although it’s often understandably confused with ‘Sterling’ as that’s a more familiar word and sounds very similar.

Idiots: No, no, no, I am from a parallel universe.

Makes sense. It’d be kinda weird if they found Skittles and a burrito bowl from Chipotle in there or something.

Yep. Shame on any company or individual that’s still active on Twitter. It’s a nazi platform now and there’s no excuse to still be there. Mastodon exists, so if you’re still on Twitter you are part of the problem.

!moviesandtv@lemm.ee is a pretty great community if you’re into movies and tv. It’s where a lot of the regulars from moviesandtv@lemmy.film went after the lemmy.film instance was shut down.

Hey all!

It looks like most of you had difficulty reaching the site for about 5 minutes, but those issues should have subsided.

During that time, you may have been shown an incorrect error message that read:

Whoa there, pardner! reddit's awesome and all, but you may have a bit of a problem.

Make sure your User-Agent is not empty, is something unique and descriptive and try again. if you're supplying an alternate User-Agent string, try changing back to default as that can sometimes result in a block.

To share some additional context on what happened - we pushed a bad code change in our tooling that resulted in a significant amount of users getting blocked without doing anything wrong. So if you happened to see that error message within the last hour, don’t fret! We’ve reverted the code change that caused this error and things should be back to normal very soon if they aren’t already.

Fuck boomer Christmas. Claymation sucks. Charlie Brown is boring. Frosty should’ve been left to melt. And ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ bombed at the box office for a reason. Just because it was dirt-cheap for TV stations to air during the Holidays in the late '70s/'80s doesn’t make it good.

I buy nearly everything generic but generic Band-Aids have terrible adhesive so I always buy name brand.

Yeah, this is a case of a brand that’s been subject to trademark genericization where the knock-offs and generic products genuinely aren’t as good.

Try a different server. I’ve never had any issues accessing bleepingcomputer with Mullvad.

Ignoring the fact that it’s not even true… My favorite part of the fallout from that quote were all the Trump supporters, most of whom will never see $1mil in total earnings across their lives, scrambling to defend it as if it were a perfectly reasonable thing to say.

Like, “It’s just because he’s so rich that a million dollars really does seem like a small loan!”

Sure, okay Jim-Bob, and you’re dumb enough to believe a guy whose concept of money is that warped gives a damn about you? lol

No. I have no respect for the traitors who fought for the right to enslave human beings. Fuck all Confederates and fuck anyone demanding we respect the legacy of those fucking slavers and sing Kumbaya with their modern day bigoted counterparts.

That’s awesome! I use the Clear URLs extension and it does a great job but it’ll be nice to have this capability baked in.

Yeah, Mastodon is much larger than Lemmy yet it feels like shouting into the void. I like it as a means to keep up on news by following journalists who’ve fled twitter but I’ve yet to get any real interaction on my posts. Meanwhile on Lemmy I’m never running out of things to read and people to discuss posts with.

Not sharing my code because:

Yep, that’s exactly why I think that warning label is a good thing.

The apps page now has sections for Android, iOS, and web apps, as well as libraries. Feel free to do a pull request to add any apps that are missing.

I’m digging the warning that identifies closed source apps. It’s a nice courtesy and makes it clear that they’re an exception not the norm.
