I’m annoyed at how plausible this sounds

Problem is critical mass for communities that simply won’t happen because of the overall demographics of Lemmy’s userbase - it would make little sense to have a community centered around, say, Facebook or Google products because the common Lemmy user is inclined to dislike either of them.

- Comment on WTF BIT ME? 1 week ago:
My situation was a dorm room situation I couldn’t get out for a WHOLE FUCKING YEAR. The caretaker didn’t give a shit, all my dorm mates slept with a lighter close by, lighter fluid was traded around like cigarettes and blowies in a jail yard.
We got our revenge on the asshole caretaker though, the bugs managed to infest that guys room too. Unlike us he couldn’t just get up and leave at the end of the year. Fuck that guy.
If I have to travel, I keep my luggage out the door and check the entire fucking room like I’m Brezhnev’s Soviet security detail in the 1973 Washington summit visit. No stone unturned, no corner or edge left unchecked.
Fuck Bedbugs.

Thanks for the info. Usually information like this is locked in forums that are too technical for me. I’ve had a newborn interest in bootloaders after having some issues with grub some time ago and more recently, migrating to grapheneOS.

This is the opposite of a fun fact. I’m going to sneak into your house and steal your fingers for typing it

This brought back Bedbug based paranoia I thought I had laid to rest nearly a decade ago so thanks for that.
I hope you have a speedy and painless solution to our problem, but I’m really glad I’m not you OP. My god, if I never see these bastards again it will be too soon.

I use NewPipe on android and while it is slow to the point of annoyance it is usable. Also completely stopped my doomscrolling so now I am forced to enjoy and appreciate the little things in life like love and friendship ughhhh

Eyy you didn’t mention the distro you jumped to. Around these parts, that’s a spanking.
Out with the distro or prepare your buttcheeks!

If you’re using a new computer with Nvidia graphics, expect that to be a pain point. I’ve also had issues with the grub bootloader though within weeks I had a mitigation flow. Just remember to have a second computer around to use the internet to troubleshoot, and put important info you need that you work on on the PC on an attached thumbdrive also. This way you don’t have to worry about losing data. Makes the migration a lot more peaceful.

Go ahead and unplug the drive - having it in doesn’t really help so why not give yourself the peace of mind?

- Comment on China releases 'UBIOS' standard to replace UEFI — Huawei-backed BIOS firmware replacement charges China's domestic computing goals 1 week ago:
Hey you sound like someone who knows what they are talking about - is UBIOS also a specification like UEFI is a specification? Hypothetically could others also build firmware that adheres to this UBIOS specs?

You could do it with enough people that there is several sections overlapping between unrelated people that it becomes infeasible even for state actors to compromise EVERY person attesting any one piece of software

Does gadgetbridge have something like an API? It seems like it should already have something along these lines, since health wearables not having one is what gave birth to gadgetbridge in the first place…

Maybe, but that’s neither here nor there. We can’t draw that correlation to effects of oxygen on the body via respiration.
- Comment on 9 months after its 1.0 launch flopped, an indie dev just learned that Steam never emailed the 130,000 people who wishlisted its game 1 month ago:
And the numbers are ridiculous - 100 out of 87000 is ~0.1% - I’m sad that this dev’s project got kneecapped on release, but Steam is making things right here. An actual asshole move would be to have said nothing and done none of the things they’re doing now to make up for the loss. The 24 hour visibility boost should have been a bit longer though. Somewhere between 3 and 7 days sounds better.
Either way I hope the dev team recoups their losses and more with the millions of eyes that their game gets now.

That is one of the funkiest ways to spell “reliable” I’ve ever seen. Were you trying to type in the dark?

Thanks, I noticed that clicking on an artists name now took you to their About page. Can’t find the artist’s top songs anywhere or atleast I can’t find them. Rage.
