  • the last time the two teams played in the Playoffs

    Was Sunday.

  • Well... We can certainly hope that the Leafs drop the ball at the end of the Series just for the Sens to take it when a series win seems inevitable.

  • The metal on that light switch would be live any time the other light switch (on the other end of the red traveller wire) is turned on.

    If that box is metal, it would make the metal brackets of the other switches live as well, and assuming one of the other switches is properly wired, it would just go back to the panel on the ground wire.

    I think that would either complete the circuit and the device would turn on, or it would ground the circuit and pop the breaker. The same would likely happen with this switch as well considering the ground is wired on the hot terminal.

    I'm also not an electrician so this is a full-on guess.

  • This is great for the cat-and-mouse situation.

    I know a lot of people use Plex because of the number of apps on various platforms. The renewed life in these apps will be at least one less reason for people holding off on Jellyfin.

  • The first sentence of the article is

    Based on the excellent Hyundai IONIQ 5 N platform, Vanwall gives its Vandervell H-GT a high-performance aesthetic makeover inspired by the classic Lancia Delta HF Integrale. But what makes this body kit a genuine [...]

    It's a Vanwall Vandervell H-GT with a new body kit on top of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.

    The headline is incredibly misleading.

  • Honestly, this is just the way it should be. Searching is fundamentally different than trying to access a website.

    I love trying to search for something like "node.js" but can't because it thinks it's a website...

  • The comments of that tweet are nothing but "Signal is full of huge design flaws"

    Right, because "add user to group" is a design flaw.

  • The battery pack in the Hummer EV is the size of 3 other EV batteries combined.

    You could have 3 regular EVs or 1 Hummer.

  • I think I know where in the code this could be happening for the web UI.

    I'm not one of the devs but I'll look into this a bit, I'll update this comment when I get more info.


    I believe ! should be changed to [!@] in this line
    https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/blob/129fb5b2f994e02bfecc36e3f6884bdbf485b87a/src/shared/config.ts#L47

    And another elseif(match...) needs to be added for @ after this line

  • Starting from 1 year being 365 days

    1 month would be the equivalent of 3.65 days
    1 day would be 52.5 minutes
    1 hour would be 31.5 seconds
    1 minute would be 0.3 seconds
    1 second would be 3 milliseconds
    1 millisecond would be 3 nanoseconds

  • Too bad Saturn's visually right beside the sun at this time.

  • Yes, there was Teams (classic) and Teams (new. There's also Outlook (new) and Outlook (classic).

    There was the Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch, it even said they were getting rid of Shipping Tool, but then they got rid of Snip & Sketch instead but the function of Snipping Tools is the same as Snip & Sketch.

  • This is not to be confused with the application called "OneNote", that's staying.

    You can always trust Microsoft to make two version of the same application and to have really bad naming.

  • In hindsight, I wrote that line after seeing some code on Github that I thought was for ActivityPub, but when I went back to it later I realised it was for Mastodon.

  • It's a bit confusing because each action on the Fediverse uses the same universal language, but each service translates that language into their own specific rolls for their service.

    Lemmy upvotes use "Like" which is common language in ActivityPub but down votes use "Dislike" which is not* also used in the ActivityPub language. It's up to the other services how they interpret that. Mastodon favourites use "Like" but it has nothing for "Dislike". Mastodon boost uses "Announce" which is what Lemmy uses for posts and comments to a community.

    There are also some actions that use the ActivityPub language on both services but one simply just doesn't send that action to the other service. Mastodon users can follow Lemmy users but Lemmy users cannot follow any users. I think Mbin does allow following users.


    From the Lemmy ActivityPub documentation

    An upvote for a post or comment send an ActivityPub Like action

    Users can send posts or comments to a community which the community forwards to its followers in the form of Announce.

    From the Mastodon ActivityPub Documentation

    ActivityPub Like is transformed into a Favourite.

    ActivityPub Announce is transformed into a boost on a status

  • Flair Airlines has a tendancy to just stop flying out of certain airports for various reasons. As much as I'd like this to be a "buy Canadian" trend it could just be as simple as they think the airport fees are too high.

  • I would love a more generic name

    Considering the general userbase is very open-source focused, we should promote FOSS alternatives. Instead, we could call it GimpBattles. Then people would know we mean business. /s

    On a serious note, I understand that familiarity is important and helps with users that are migrating over here but I have always felt it's the perfect opportunity to do away with some of the dumb subreddit names (all the ___Porn names, like EarthPorn)

    Lemmy is not reddit, that's the point of Lemmy.

  • Spinning a bottle?

  • I had to get someone to find a wireless keyboard they left in a random box because they never used it, yet they still connected the USB receiver for it.

    Thrive: An open-source evolution game inspired by Spore

    https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive

    This entertaining game aims to be a scientifically accurate evolution game, starting off as a single-celled organism and growing into more complex organelles, competing against other organisms in the environment.

    It is still in active development and later stages aren't fully fleshed out yet but the early stages can still provide a few hours of fun.

    I noticed this odd behaviour a few days ago. It happens on desktop and mobile web pages. It seems to only be on this instance (lemmy.ca) because I don't see this when browsing other instances directly.

    I can't see the UI version number at the bottom of the page. I'm using Firefox 114 on both desktop and Android phone.
