Yeah, but I wonder if he would have paid more attention to existing use cases if he wrote it all himself. Probably not, but I feel like it's possible.

Usually if I do that I'll just see the underside of the clouds.

Apparently not reviewed well enough.

This thing has saved me multiple times. Not always the easiest to work with, but has all the utilities I needed to deal with hard drive upgrades, etc. Including for windows machines.

I'm still really sad that the Turing Machine one got enough votes, but was rejected by the LEGO judges.

My understanding is that for most package managers the signing keys are held by a smallish number of maintainers responsible for entire sections, who presumably keep those accounts pretty tightly secured. Not impossible to take over, but it's a smaller attack surface.

While for NPM as far as I know every uploader keeps their own account and there's not even signing keys to lose control of.

I'm beginning to think this "NPM" thing isn't a great idea.

I don't listen to music much, but I feel like this graph would be nearly inverted for me. Didn't care much for the music I was forced to hear on the school bus, but inherited my mom's enjoyment of both oldies and classical, and enjoy some modern music (which is just much more diverse than when I grew up, so there's something for everyone)

Ever since abandoning ship I've maintained a negative (1 star) review every time there is an update for the app. My review contained no swearing or anything else that I think would break a rule.

This morning I went to update and found my review gone, and trying to submit a new one fails with a "Server error". I was able to review other apps.

The app in the screenshot is URLCheck, it is my "default browser" and allows me to see where a link is going and edit it or choose what to open it in.

It's showing that the ! link I tapped on the bottom of the screen got an "https:/" (one slash) put in front of it instead of being treated as a proper link to a community.

The same thing happens with @ links:

Note: this is a true story, it happened a couple hours ago.

We were at the skating rink. "Low" by Flo Rida was playing. Suddenly a little kid spun out in front of us. Fortunately she wasn't hurt when she hit the floor (she hit the floor), next thing we knew Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low.

She was fine and got up on her own. Kids are rubber.

Generally explosions do in fact involve an object suddenly increasing in volume (with corresponding decrease in density)

Said objects typically become partially gaseous, but if the rest of it is porous then it's not unusual at all for that to increase in volume also.

Easy example: popcorn.

Yes it is, and because of who owns it, I would even prefer that to an unsandboxed closed source native binary.

The links inside the linked post are relative links, such as xkcd which is a link to /c/xkcd@lemmy.world

Boost does not open them when tapped, flashing an error instead.

NewPipe at least already doesn't use the API, it scrapes the website.

... Which it just occurred to me might be one of the reasons Google is pushing that web integrity thing. Dang.
