The version I’ve heard is “coup cucks klan”

We tried, but then VW had to go and blow it.

That extra hour of wage theft is why it’s the most prevalent kind of theft.

Heck, if HA knew for certain it was a workday, it could boot the laptop for me…hmmm. Maybe something to think about for the future.

I’ve been meaning to look into how to integrate HA with a NextCloud CalDAV server or something, because I have a lot of ideas for automations that would be best triggered by calendar events (e.g. ringing an alarm [get ready time] + [travel time] before [appointment]).

The fascists don’t want to. They love weapons and hate books.

When I was a kid, I remember being impressed that my dad’s Dodge Ram could fit an entire laptop in the center console, horizontally.

Those new, shitty lids are always slightly on. That’s as “on” as they get.

Three out of four of those corners (including the one in which the gummies are a misdemeanor) are also within the Navajo Nation. Kinda feels like that tribal jurisdiction ought to matter.

You know there’s only one thing to do now, right? You have to make a 7-meter-tire tall bike.

(Don’t blame me; I don’t make the rules.)

I barely watched any of them, but Sampson Boat Co (the people rebuilding Tally Ho) put together some moderately high-effort sponsor segments, with a melodramatic plot and hammy acting and costumes made out of construction materials and such.

Those are not businesses. They are free projects which a dedicated person (or group of people) donate their time and energy to produce.

…and? That’s what makes them the best part of the Internet!

For most it is a money pit, but to them the passion is worth more. They do it for the love, not the money.

And it doesn’t stop them from existing, proving that the Internet does not actually have to run on profit.

This sounds like the kind of thing a Zoomer who has no memory of life before the Internet – or the Internet of the '90s before the advertisers got a hold of it, for that matter – would write.

AFAIK all the Lemmy apps have ads too.

LOL, nope. Try getting your apps from F-Droid instead of the Google Play Store.

Do you have any fucking clue at all just how much money projects like Wikipedia make through donations? Do you realize that Jellyfin has even gone so far as to ask people to stop donating because they have too much money?

Your claim that advertising “scales” and donations don’t is a straight-up Iie.

Go ask Wikipedia about their business model. Or the Linux kernel. Or any number of other Free Software projects that neither charge users a fee nor show ads.

It is a bullshit false dichotomy to claim that the only options for business models are charging fees or showing ads. Knock it off with the misinformation.

They do need to earn some money after all

If every ad-supported website went dark today, nothing of value would be lost.

I decided long ago that I’d rather just quit using anything that required Windows than faff around with dual-booting.

Even if Liz is dead now, using the meme format this way just isn’t right.

Makes me wonder if it’s a wrap, not paint.

LOL, that comment:

It sounds silly but I think this should probably be fixed for 0.19.4 so that people are updated before all the cake days in June start, there will be many first cake days

Meanwhile, lemmy.world is still on 0.19.3 as I type this. sad trombone noises
