I remember when Wine was in alpha for twelve years (and then beta for three more). Was surprised to learn that it finally exited that stage, some time ago already.

One of the best things you can do to fix a tight budget is to stop buying fast food.

Google integrates its own services in both the phone and messaging apps: namely spam reporting and blocking. I’m guessing that other major brands also have services to that end.

Google’s ‘Messages’ also has a button to make a video call, and I dunno even what app and protocol would be used for that, as I never used video calls and don’t have any Google apps for that functionality.

There was a thread on Reddit where people likewise noted that having another person try problematic software solved the issue. So one commenter regaled how a dude sidestepped the whole rigmarole by saying to his colleague “look, this thing’s broken again”, and then before the other guy could step in, he clicked the thing himself, and it worked.

Person, woman, man, camera, tv.

You mean the only sci-fi franchise with even more talking than in ‘Star Trek’?

‘Samsung Internet’ is a browser, so apparently they’s using the site.

Ironically, this is the comment in this thread that’s not paranoid enough, because to my knowledge both Google and Samsung use their own closed-source message and phone apps, along with other standard apps. (Idk about other vendors, but the same is pretty likely for major brands.)

None of what’s been mentioned above requires server-side processing.

Yeah, he looks like an average Turkish or Bollywood handsome actor. Saudis basically reported on themselves with this.

Just checked, and I can only last thirty seconds at a rather feeble rate. Apparently the device is for people who trained their lung capacity in the childhood.

As per tradition, Rolling Stone’s article: ‘Dick Cheney, Iraq war architect and “War on Terror” mastermind, dead at 84’.

From the producers of ‘Henry Kissinger, War Criminal Beloved by America’s Ruling Class, Finally Dies’ and ‘Henry Kissinger, Notorious War Criminal, Lauded By Media’.

Germans in the southern hemisphere… Where have I heard it before… 🤔

Nice to see that Reddit’s pointless arguments exist on Lemmy too. I’m gonna feel at home here.

That worked hilariously in ‘Deus Ex’ when a friend had both of Denton’s legs shot to shit. Denton crawled around for hours, then stood right up in a cutscene, and after it ended, flopped back on the ground and resumed crawling.

Afaik he sorta changed his position later on, or rather said that he would be making content for phones from then on. I imagine he still wasn’t happy with watching a traditional film on a phone.

‘Twin Peaks’ is definitely the case where the film was made for those who already saw the series. Basically, one can treat it as a flashback in the series. Kinda the same way as flashbacks in ‘Simpsons’ and such are not to be watched first.

Mary–marry–merry merger

Geoff Lindsey on YouTube might have a video on the topic. He’s great at explaining phonetics of modern English. Lindsey mentions the merger here, but only very briefly.

Should work alright if the server handles Unicode correctly, and isn’t one of those ass sites that put restrictions on the password’s length and composition. Hashing functions don’t even care if you’re feeding them raw binary.

Thanks to my password manager, commas are among the more tame characters that occur in my passwords.
