  FFS, can’t we have anything!?

  If we’re replacing cilia as well, the fact that respiratory cilia exists means she’s probably got severe to fatal breathing problems too.

  I’m still deciding how much I agree or disagree with this. It’s true that they do cite books which you often can’t read online, but adding information backed up by a paywalled proof feels a bit “trust me bro”. E.g. I could find/create a site with an impossibly large paywall and no-one would realistically able to check my sources.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I found a Vulnerability. They found a Lawyer.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re absolutely right, I’ll edit my comment. Thanks for that catch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nomenclature⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Brilliant articles, thanks - written by someone completely conversant in both birds and internet culture, with a sense of humour but also communicating bird facts and including citations for things like why round things are cuter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I found a Vulnerability. They found a Lawyer.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Disgraceful, old-fashioned actions from the unnamed diving certifiers, and given that he’s a registered PADI instructor, I think it’s clear that PADI puts their reputation above child safety.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's wrong with my dishes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t think it could have anything to do with DNS, but again I was wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks Alot⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That user seems to spend most of their time on Lemmy “correcting” people’s spelling, including correctly spelt words that Americans spell differently. So, they’re either a troll or just insufferable.

  The attention economy is definitely a thing that corporations are very interested in, I think you’ve missed the overall point of OP’s post in your righteous zeal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I also sometimes use the Kagi summaries and it’s definitely been wrong before. One time I asked what the term was for something in badminton and it came up with a different badminton term. When I looked at the cited source, it was a multiple choice quiz with the wrong term being the first answer.

  It’s reliable that I still use it, although more often to quickly identify which search results are worth reading.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Human ands pigs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They also use pig carcasses for ballistic tests as they’re all similar.

  Also, once the pigs take over the farm they start walking on two legs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way to modify community subscription weight?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Others have already pointed out scaled (my default sort) but I have often thought I would like to see a full feed for my quieter comms. Without making a new only-quiet-comms account or modifying a Lemmy client the only way I’ve thought of is to subscribe to the RSS feeds (but that means using a different app and managing two sets of subscriptions).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3186: Truly Universal Outlet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  USB A doesn’t support at the fancy high-power PD/PPS features.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3184: Funny Numbers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think some will still understand it, although I can’t remember the last time I heard anyone use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3184: Funny Numbers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Skrilla is from Philadelphia, where the police apparently don’t use 10-67, but it’s “Report of Death” in some areas so this still seems the most likely explanation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also from the article:

  If the worst happens and the dome is punctured, 2,000 tonnes of CO2 will enter the atmosphere. That’s equivalent to the emissions of about 15 round-trip flights between New York and London on a Boeing 777. “It’s negligible compared to the emissions of a coal plant,” Spadacini says. People will also need to stay back 70 meters or more until the air clears, he says.

  They’ve already started building the hotel, but they’ve got a way to go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dunno⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I learnt it as BODMAS (brackets, orders, division and multiplication, addition and subtraction).

  Have you seen the footage of scientists feeding them from their own arms? Nooope, not for all the tea in China.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dead mosquito proboscis used for high-resolution 3D printing nozzle⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m currently living somewhere hot enough that the little pricks are a bother all year round.

  You mean Cloudflare is down this evening. Timezones, how do they work?

  Often both! Miles on the outside as the main display, but km can be found on a smaller inner ring

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨haveibeenpwned alternatives / data?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The founder was asked to provide a subscription level for individual domains and he said no and pointed people at the suggestion to occasionally pay for a month instead.

  HIBP subscriptions can be taken out monthly and cancelled at any time. If the appearance of your domain in a breach is infrequent, you can take out a one month subscription then immediately cancel it after performing the search (the subscription will remain active until the entire month period has elapsed).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨haveibeenpwned alternatives / data?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it takes me on average 5 minutes to login and change an email address, it would take me about 1 days, 18 hours to change them all! It definitely looks worth it for others who want to start using aliases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨haveibeenpwned alternatives / data?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps that message only shows up if some of the results are from the paid lists. For me, I don’t see anything listed beneath, even though 34 addresses match, so I guess nothing’s in the free lists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨haveibeenpwned alternatives / data?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I see this:

  Domain search restricted: You don’t have an active subscription so you’re limited to searching domains with up to 10 breached addresses (excluding addresses in spam lists). Only results for subscription-free breaches are shown below, upgrade your subscription to run a complete domain search. If you believe you’re seeing this message in error, make sure you’re signing in to the dashboard with the correct email address (check your latest receipt if you’re unsure).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨haveibeenpwned alternatives / data?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s entirely possible that my best fix is just to delete my haveibeenpwned account and just react when I see spam, but where’s the fun in that?
