I was just watching a dude not know what a horseshoe crab was, but describe a similar Pokémon’s evolution step by step, as this scrolled onto my screen. .

Steam points? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 2 months ago by Willy@sh.itjust.works to c/steam@lemmy.ml

So I was just messing around in the steam app and I came across steam points. Are these new? It seems to indicate I can use them for games but I don’t see any options. I have a quarter of a million of them. Are they useful in any way?

Everything “for the kids” has been bad.

Untraceable airplanes (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by Willy@sh.itjust.works to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Hi, I’ve just listened to about 10 aircraft go over my house. It’s not unusual that I have aircraft go over my house. I’ve sometimes even had fighters go over my house. I live in the most secure airspace in the United States (I’m not allowed to fly a $50 drone) and when I use apps to track what type of plane or helicopters are buzzing me, they never show up… they don’t show up on flight radar or adsbexchane even with government filters turned on where they used to intermittently show up. something just happened.

I think you’re allowed to listen to every song on the open internet too.

i’m planning a road trip and wanted to plan it out using a Gantt chart. I searched the repositories and did not find anything. Does anyone have any recommendations? (I actually am fun at parties)

I like being a dude but why roll the same char twice?

holy shit. I've been getting alerts about it, but that video is so much worse than I imagined.

Last night, I watched ‘The Conners’ (it's on after Jeopardy here, and it's not so bad now that Barr is gone), and I can't stop thinking about it. Hopefully, you saw it, too, but it was bothersome. It started with a 90+ YO woman getting her identity stolen. Fair enough. Then, the family thought that debit would be their issue and staged an “intervention.” This is where I think TV needs to be more educational and should have explained that no, they were not going to “be left with a mountain of debt.” Instead, they find out she wasn't being defrauded and had made the purchases herself. Here is where it jumped the shark. This gave them the idea, from experience with Rosanne's death, that credit card debt usually gets wiped when someone dies. They go on a fraudulent spending spree, and near the end of the episode, they find out the credit company will investigate the issue.

I guess my point for the conversation is that there are so many tucking crazy loopholes in this episode it was almost anti-educational and pushed an agenda with no reason. I understand a lot of scripted shows are like this, such as Law and Order (except the original, sort of), but this seemed over the top.

Subs still works in my mind. Subdirectories of all, or subscriptions… whichever way you want to think of it. I never really thought of subs as short for subreddits though, that was just convenient marketing based of those same terms.

This American Life had a good segment about a content moderator at Twitter

https://www.thisamericanlife.org/797/what-i-was-thinking-as-we-were-sinking/act-two-7

Like the main content moderator who quit.

Note it's 30+minutes and takes a little while to get to Twitter, but it includes reported interactions with Musk.

It talks about the election group of moderators.

I love going to art museums and eating the paintings.
