This will be the comment that starts the war between Britain and Australasia. During the first wave we'll just drop millions of plugs pin upwards on your streets, there will be severe foot damage on a scale you cannot fathom

Agreed, and they help family life so much - "announcing" when meals are ready, using "drop in" as an intercom rather than shouting around the home, not to mention the stuff you've already mentioned.

The one that seems acceptable to them is to list one cheap part for the listing, along with variations of the full device. That way it looks like the lowest price in search results, but when you click it, the selected variation is the cheap part.

This practice is so widespread on Ali that finding the best price/seller that is likely to get the item to you balance is ridiculously time consuming, a lot of the time the cheap item is something barely related to the item you're searching for. It also seems to be creeping into Amazon at the moment!

It can be. You can use easynews without a nzb provider if you want, but it obvs works better with one!

I've been a happy customer for nearly two decades!

It's just you. I get easynews for $45 a year on their valentine's plan, includes unlimited nntp, unlimited web (which is really useful given the search) and a free VPN to boot. Bargain of the century

It's really not a problem anymore. Look at a distro like Mint, compare the lightweight xfce version versus the full fat Gnome cinnamon. They both look the same on the surface using the same theme, all apps work, look and behave fine over all versions, yet you've got the option between "small and snappy" or "pretty and high end" which works much better than turning off the animations in Windows.

I've been an on/off Linux desktop user for years and now is just a comfy time to be a Linux user. All websites work, most of my Steam/Epic and GOG library just works with no messing, the various software stacks we use day to day are there, mature and "just work".

It takes a woman nine months to make a baby, nine women cannot make a baby in a month.

Classic (and likely mangled by myself) computer science quote which I always enjoy encountering in the wild!

Second this. I bought some after watching Dankpods rate them as a cheap way to get into IEMs. I liked them so much that I bought the Bluetooth dongle attachments (AZ15) which were more expensive than the monitors themselves(!) to turn them into wireless earbuds and they're great. The IEMs themselves provide a lot of natural sound isolation and aren't overly bassy so you can enjoy all of the music while being able to hear the lyrics/lighter instruments.

The only thing I don't like is that they look fairly ridiculous to wear out and about. I have a conventional pair of Redmi Bud 3 for going places which are a lot more discreet, but don't sound half as good!

A human can not eat for several days and still stay active.

I'm looking at my bulging waist and feeling incredibly guilty right now!

I say this as someone who considers themselves a leftist....

The lack of civility shown by left leaning people online is almost certainly pushing moderates into more extreme communities and the unhinged takes are perfect meme fodder for those with a bad agenda. Instead of channeling your anger at the person you're corresponding with through your keyboard, channel it at a lack of empathy and understanding in society as a whole and respond with kindness and disengage when the conversation is not honest.

Repeat above for the use of "nazi". The use of the word has become devalued because people like to fling it at folks with milquetoast centrist opinions, save it for people who are legitimately evil.

Buy a nice home, upgrade it to my liking (CAT6 to all parts of it, solar panels/energy storage/network cabinet/make it watertight and safe for the next 50 years), buy a shitty looking van with a petrol powered pressure washer and indemnity insurance and spend my spare time going around cleaning paths and monuments etc. in my local area.

 

I guess my first question is "is this the right community for Lemmy instance support?"

Assuming the answer to the above is "yes", is there a problem with image uploads today? I've tried several times to update my community's icon, background and upload an image post and it always returns JSON errors through Chrome, Firefox and Jerboa.

Also are there size limits (in pixels or kilobytes) for image uploads?
