We’ve finally made it! People look at a picture of Lemmy thinking it’s a more popular platform.

They might have changed the OP to fix it in the past hour, but for me the “screenshot” is coming from the social image for the link on the post itself. Clicking through the link gets to the actual article.

I think the YouTube Downloader is paid and they might be getting it confused.

People absolutely think something about it when it happens, and hell sometimes the government even does something about it (as demonstrated in the article you linked). Just a whole lot of us would argue they don’t do enough about it.

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.

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.

I haven’t personally tested this, so this is all an assumption because of how related things work. But I’ve done extensive accessibility testing throughout the years and things tend to act the same.

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.

I’ve got a mini and am looking into getting another mini or a full size. Caper sounds like a fantastic name considering how sneaky my current one is.

There’s nothing worse than SSHing into a remote machine, coding some stuff in vim and losing the SSH connection randomly. Especially when you’re working in a controlled remote environment instead of locally, screen is super useful to keep your place when you get back.

After we lost that one expensive spacecraft we’ve been moving towards metric more and more there as well.

Definitely a lot more out in the country than in the cities or even suburbs. 10% sounds about right.

I make use of the Aqara wall switches. Because I live in a 120 year old house without neutral wiring and with 120V lines, Aqara is one of the few that makes a no-neutral wall switch that fits in a standard Decora mount and also works when the Zigbee network is down.

WS-USC01 through WS-USC04

Comes in with- and without- neutral options as well as single and double rockers.

If you’re not in the US they also make a much wider variety of switches, mix of touch and rockers, that work with 240V with and without neutrals.

I’m aware that Aqara is a Chinese company and you should probably never let them on your wifi network. But because it’s Zigbee it’s far less of a risk and they’re plug and play compatible with all of the major Zigbee controllers.

Reputable? Eh, depends on your definition.

A lot of people make use of Sonoff and Tuya-relabled Zigbee relays. If you’re able to control it at a wall switch (so not an actual relay) then your options greatly increase.

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.

The terrifying part to me is how many people they must have had doing that boring task week after week.

Like sure, I don’t want everyone to be jobless because the robots are taking over. But I am hugely in favor of the boring, repetitive tasks being automated away so people can work on more interesting things.

For years and years I thought that was how this worked. That you said you wanted to round up, and all of the money collected went into a pool that the company then used as a tax write off in one lump sum. So they were stealing your tax write off basically.

Nope, that’s not actually how it works in the US (can’t speak for other counties). If you round up your transaction for charity, you’re eligible to write it off on your taxes as charity. Do most people? Nope. But could they? Yes! And some people even do save their receipts for this purpose.

The company doesn’t get to write it off as their donation, because it’s not. For them it’s pretty neutral, they’re receiving funds and transferring them on behalf of the people who donated them.

Note: I can’t speak for companies that do donations for nonprofits related to them. I assume it’s still neutral for them, since you definitely still can use it as your own tax write off, but I haven’t looked into that side.

I think everyone in your replies is conflating being a full time landlord and a part time landlord. One of them is definitely more evil than the other.

Man, imagine how useful that would actually be though? You’d save a lot of money and headache a few months down the line…
