If it eventually gets outed as being Ponzi scheme, I'll not be remotely surprised.

Classic Reg. They style their headlines on Daily Fail language, meant to be a bit hyperbolic and/or tongue in cheek - which worked in the era of lad's magazines - but really doesn't now.

Good article, tough.

I've been using SelectSpecs for 15 years. I think they drop-ship from SE Asia.

Mostly to have a spare set, but for the last year or so they've been my primary pair.

Found this to be an interesting read, and well written. Thanks for sharing it.

GitHub is often used as a code mirror, with the actual repo and builds being hosted elsewhere.

Shelter, as in the work profile app? It shows up on Droid-ify for me, and a check of the Links section confirms it's hosted on a different repo (gitea.angry.im).

That explains a lot, thanks.

American or South African chocolate products.

NOT an anti-American/-Saffer thing. They add butyric acid, which tastes like vomit to the rest of the world. (Accurate, as vomit contains it).

Presumably because the market there have been trained to expect that flavour for some reason. To the rest of us, a US or ZA origin is usually a sign to avoid.

The only time I've had this is back when I thought the settings in the kebab menu (top right) controlled everything, until I realised the preferences in Settings > General are for that.

Not sure what's going in with your situation, though, sorry.

Although it's certainly a popular distribution, my understanding is that Bazzite's future is currently uncertain due to Fedora's decision to remove certain 32-bit libraries in future and the folks behind Bazzite saying they may need to end the project because of it.

I don't know the details, and it's possible that Fedora will reconsider, someone may make those libraries available downstream, or the Bazzite folks may have been hyperbolic, but it's worth looking for the details and potential impacts. (Don't take my reply as an accurate assessment).

As an alternative, I can recommend an excellent game-friendly distro: EndeavourOS. It's based on Arch, rather than Fedora. I use it on my gaming PC and my general use laptop. I'm approaching the 2 year mark with this distro.

Oops. You're quite right, of course.

Had a manager who used to send notes intended for himself to our team chat. Psychotic behaviour.

Every phone has a note app. No matter how stupid you are, it works. But if messages to yourself floats your boat: why not.

 

Just fired up Voyager on Android to discover a notification-style marker above the settings/gear icon. Opening Settings doesn't provide any clue as to why. Taking it further by tapping each of the top level menu items also doesn't show why.

Okay, Voyager. Keep your secrets...

Edit: F-Droid showed that Voyager had recently updated, so I tapped the recent apps button and swiped up to close Voyager. When I reopened it, the marker was gone.

 

Posted this to AskLemmy (https://lemmy.world/post/17088629), but thought it worth posting here:

I use old.lemmy.world as my interface and I've noticed that roughly every month I'm:

  • Forcibly logged out and have to do the re-auth dance for no apparent reason.
  • Everything I've set in Settings is forgotten: Default Listing reverts to All, Default Post Sort reverts to Hot, and so on.

My browser is set to retain cookies and such, so it's not PEBKAC/PICNIC. Why is Lemmy doing a nuke-from-low-orbit every month (roughly) despite me using it as recently as the day before? Why aren't my preferences being retained between logins?

I suspect the recent update (https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld/112706805419064266) explains the latest event, but the questions still stand.

 

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I didn't find mention of it. I use old.lemmy.world as my interface and I've noticed that roughly every month I'm:

  1. Forcibly logged out and have to do the re-auth dance for no apparent reason.
  2. Everything I've set in Settings is forgotten: Default Listing reverts to All, Default Post Sort reverts to Hot, and so on.

My browser is set to retain cookies and such, so it's not PEBKAC/PICNIC. Why is Lemmy doing a nuke-from-low-orbit every month (roughly; haven't measured it) despite me using it as recently as the day before? Isn't this bonkers practice?


Edit: I've just seen https://mastodon.world/@LemmyWorld/112706805419064266 which may explain it. Either way, the questions stand.
