My dog is very responsive and if I tell him to not eat something he usually spits it out or leaves it alone.

People in Europe are generally allowed to read and screenshot posts made by people from Idaho.

Do sovereign citizens also refuse gifts because "gift" in German means poison?

I gotta be honest, I'm not sure I'd be willing to trust something I set up myself with general-purpose software to handle something as important as a smoke alarm alert.

That's the sort of thing that gets hardware dedicated to the task and doesn't rely on me configuring everything correctly and Linux not crashing because some other unrelated process had issues.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish for anyone who doesn't know, since it's kind of hard to Google a grainy screenshot of a tweet of images

The food dish only has food in one side! I need you to turn it for me so I don't upset my whiskers. What do you mean just move the food with my paw?

Anecdotally, they at least make my dog's breath smell slightly better which makes him smell better since he licks himself

There are so many like this in the US. I don't understand who thought they were a good idea or why they keep getting made

There's a soft serve place near me that gives you huge servings. They're not quite as big as in the picture, but if you get a large, you have to be very careful about it toppling over.

Tomatoes and garlic, what else could you possibly need tbh

I don't really care about my TV being 4K, but I like the extra desktop space on my PC.

Garfield Minus Garfield was interesting because of the silly situations that came from the otherwise unmodified comics.

Maybe it's just me, but changing the dialog so that it makes sense without Heathcliff being there feels like it kind of takes away from the whole gimmick.

I take it to mean it's playing into a fascist's insecurities; it's only supposed to sound judgy if you're insecure about being a strongman's sub.

If you have the right TV, the right streaming box, and the right receiver (if you use one), HDR looks fine, but a lot of TVs either don't support HDR or have a really terrible HDR implementation. And then a lot of streaming services either have bad non-HDR video streams or just take the TV claiming HDR at face value and don't give you a way to turn it off.

I don't think it's fair to expect everyone to extensively research and buy high-end TVs just so they can (literally) see a movie or show.

Isn't it weird how long it took phone makers to catch onto the use-case of the camera flash being a flashlight?

wander1236 ,
@wander1236@sh.itjust.works avatar

I don't know about the heat aspect, but third party flashlight apps are just using the camera API without showing you a viewfinder or exposing shutter controls.

Even the built-in flashlight toggles on Android are still just creating a camera session and enabling the flash.

To block third party flashlight apps, manufacturers would have to block third party camera apps too, or add in some sort of global time limit for the flash.

That doesn't mean every employee and contractor is coming in to work 24/7.

A workweek is per-person, not per-company.

Windows is getting worse and worse, but do we have to spin legitimate bugs as some nefarious plot?

My Prime membership pays for itself about 8 times over because the one medication I have is so cheap through Prime vs insurance.

But it's a little worrying that the company famous for undercutting competitors to drive them out of the market is doing this with healthcare.

wander1236 ,
@wander1236@sh.itjust.works avatar

If there's anything good about this, it's that insurance providers at least have plenty of margin to fall back on when lowering prices to compete.

That instance just has a custom homepage written in React. The actual social UI is normal Mastodon with some color tweaks.

It is possible to use different frontends for Mastodon, though. Web apps like Elk can either run on a dedicated server to log into any Mastodon instance, or can be hosted by instance admins as alternative frontends.

Someone sharing their thoughts on the platform literally made so people can easily share their thoughts? Absolutely insane thing for John to do, you're right.

You mean to tell me Spain speaks Spanish correctly?

wander1236 ,
@wander1236@sh.itjust.works avatar

They are all wrong (except Catalan, because that's a different language and closer to French than Spanish)

wander1236 ,
@wander1236@sh.itjust.works avatar

It's wild to me that Basque seems to have just evolved on its own, and that it's survived

wander1236 ,
@wander1236@sh.itjust.works avatar

The only one I personally know isn't Spanish is Catalan which is why I called it out. I'm being tongue-in-cheek about Iberian Spanish (or Spanishes) being the "wrong" type of Spanish vs. Latin American varieties.

Well you aren't forced to publish your PC or Steam Deck game on Steam for one.
