Drag didn't do that...
  • Between drag and the person talking in thorns, lemmy has been fun to read lately. Y'all ain't hurting anyone, anyone has a problem with it they can just mute and move on.

    Legit question that my comment made me think of, though - what are drag's feelings on pronouns like "y'all" - see also "you guys" etc?

    Edit: mulling it over, I think "y'all" only felt initially weird to me because I was equating it to "they", but "they" has two uses - one to refer to a single person without gendering, and one to refer to a group of many people. "Y'all" in this case would be the equivalent of the second, not really the first.

    Idk, language is hard, just fuckin get along.

  • Monkeys will never type Shakespeare, study finds
  • Security is, and always has been, a matter of making your shit harder and take longer to break. Any security is penetrable, given enough time and willpower, just make sure it takes longer than it's worth.

  • Monkeys will never type Shakespeare, study finds
  • If there are an infinite number of trials (either infinite monkeys or infinite time), the outcome is truly random, and the desired text is finite, it must necessarily happen at some point. In fact, it'd happen an infinite number of times.

    The original thought experiment clearly states infinite. As soon as you bound that in any way (such as not infinite monkeys, but 1 monkey for every atom in the universe) you're talking about another experiment entirely. Infinite means infinite, not really really big. Gotta use some critical thinking 👍

  • I benchmarked 6 different metal USB sticks
  • It also provides a raised grip for removing, but they could do both of those without THAT shape. Even rotating the hole 90 degrees would make it a little better on the key ring and still keep those marginal benefits.

  • Do you screw in both bolts on VGA cables, just the top one or ignore them altogether?
  • I work in tech support. I haven't done this, but a user I've worked with absolutely has. I have a photo around here somewhere, if I recall correctly he actually ripped the wires out of the cable lmao!

    Edit: the picture. Guess it wasn't wires out of the cable hah.

  • Thrilling gameplay
  • This was my experience. I bounced off it a few times, then finally got some of the interesting gear, then realized I had >!reconnected a player-built Zipline section in the last area of the game!<, was nearing its end, and I didn't wanna leave the world quite yet hahah.

    One of the few open-world games that I enjoyed just existing in, doing the menial busy-work. Growing attached to my carts as Norman Reedus grows attached to BB... Such a bizarre experience.

  • Thrilling gameplay
  • It really was a slow burn. I had to progress through 4 or 5 story missions before it really clicked for me. Probably around the time I got >!the first exoskeleton!<. The story starts to do its kojima thing and sucking you in with weird questions, and the gameplay finally starts to feel like you're making a decision instead of just on rails.

    Good game, good game.

  • Filter all automayed archive posts?

    Hey folks.

    I've tried to get a filter working for all of the "this is an automated archive" posts from reddit. They're pretty useless to me, as there's very rarely any engagement, and they tend to show up en masse when a community decides to just mass archive from reddit.

    I've attempted to set up a keyword filter with "automated" "automated archive" and "this is an automated archive" but with no success. I assume the keyword filters are only looking at the title text, not the description. Is setting a filter like this possible at present time?

    Being flashbanged by my fingerprint sensor

    Hey folks. Got a pixel 7 pro, and it's been alright, except suddenly, if I press the fingerprint sensor on the lock screen for just a split second, it makes the WHOLE SCREEN go full-brightness, with a green tinge. I know it's always lit up the scanner area, which is all it lights up if I hold the sensor, but if I release it early it's actually very uncomfortable. Any suggestions besides the obvious "don't let go 5head"? Is this an android version bug, a hardware issue? Anyone else had this happen?

    Edit: autocorrect

    Edit 2: !

    why is there a weird carpeted step in my closet?

    I just moved into a new house, and it has a weird step in the bottom of the closet, that is covered in carpet. I've seen this before, and it could just be coincidence, but is there possibly a weird architecture or design reason for this, or is it just a quirk?
