  As my sister who is a MT always said: “A massage therapist gives you a massage, a masseuse gives you a happy ending.”

  I can’t believe I know this, but RubMaps used to (might still be?) a thing. If you looked at the outside of them on Google Maps you could very quickly start to pick up on the patterns among the listed locations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla will move Firefox development from Mercurial to Microsoft’s GitHub⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I keep hearing people only on Lemmy bring up Gitea but I haven’t really heard of it otherwise. What’s the appeal and what’s keeping it locked away with the Lemmy community?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla will move Firefox development from Mercurial to Microsoft’s GitHub⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Are they moving issues or just code storage to GitHub?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify Removes Offensive Imagery But Keeps Transphobic Song Despite Outcry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh but didn’t you know that’s just a slippery slope argument and he’s really just a cool dude and who doesn’t encourage hate or violence? /s

  A whole lotta people in this thread who don’t want to acknowledge that this dude is trash, no matter how good or bad their music is.

  I made it pretty clear he’s a terrible person, just for many, many other reasons that are far easier to argue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has HP printers always been this bad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Defending a pedophile doesn’t make one a pedophile. That’s the stretch I’m arguing against.

  I can’t believe I’m defending Stallman here. He’s got so many other reasons to be hated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reading different languages⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t personally tested this, so this is all an assumption because of how related things work.

  On the web app for Lemmy, alternative text should be called out instead of the image (well, alongside since it lets you know there’s an image with alt text). When you use an image as the text of a link (so, what is normally a clickable image) it should call out that it’s a link, then that the link is an image, then that the image has alt text. This is not dissimilar to how things work if the image won’t load and the alt text is shown instead.

  On mobile apps it’s the wild west, almost entirely depending on if the app developers put in the additional effort to make all of that information available to screen readers. By default not a whole lot is given other than the text itself so images are often completely skipped or called out without the alt text.

  Richard Stallman is a bad person but I don’t think we need to make stuff up to prove that. He’s said he’s fine with child pornography (as long as it’s consensual) and might have favorable views on pedophilia (that may have since been backtracked) but that doesn’t make himself a pedophile.

  Just a misunderstood crazy person.

  They’re starting to charge $0.30/packet in some areas of the US. Clearly this place is going downhill only because of that /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Can I discourage rolling your own password manager (like using a text doc or spreadsheet) and instead recommend what you hopefully meant, self-hosting your own password manager?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can no longer activate new Windows 11 builds with Windows 7 or 8 keys; maybe last chance to activate using Windows 7 or 8 keys, for 22H2.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  KeysOff has been very reliable for me in the past (I’m not affiliated with them, just a happy customer) but I’m pretty sure there are multiple VLK resellers out there for Windows keys at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elektrek: "Tesla FSD Beta tried to kill me last night"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, 100%. Anyone is a fool to use Tesla “FSD Beta” pretty much anywhere. But Tesla markets it as totally safe to use anywhere and everywhere (but especially highways) so there’s a point where you have to stop calling everyone that owns a Tesla a fool and acknowledge that the common denominator is Tesla and just not the owner’s foolishness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elektrek: "Tesla FSD Beta tried to kill me last night"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought all FSD updates were beta updates? Did I miss the announcement of FSD going GA and being stable?

  If that’s the case, then yeah I probably wouldn’t test run a new update on the highway first. But I also have no idea if this issue happens at lower speeds as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon pinches sellers: Use our costly logistics services or pay extra fee⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s even worse when you go to the manufacturer’s website, order it directly there, and then have it delivered using Amazon fulfillment still despite trying to avoid it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨that self hosted itch....⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Good point, it doesn’t appear to be. Might be good to drop a note on GitHub (or their contact method of choice) so they can set that flag.
