Only kbin users are seeing what you see. It looks fine on other Lemmy instances.

Lemmy and kbin do weird things with code blocks. From the source, the post itself clearly only contained backticks. Lemmy sends out marked-up text. kbin escapes it.

The pandemic ended

Be not afraid

I switched once in college just because I could. But then I switched back when Windows 7 was released.

Then I switched again at work because our product ran on Ubuntu server, and I hate PuTTY with a passion, and it was just easier to manage Linux from Linux. But I switched back again when we were acquired by a larger company that required us to use more productivity tools that didn’t run well on Linux at the time and had to to “just work” (Skype for Business, Zoom, etc).

These days I spend most of the workday in WSL via Windows Terminal. At home I run a handful of Linux VMs atop an ESXi hypervisor installed on an old desktop. But when I’m not working, I generally just stay as far away from computers as possible.

But the larger issue among the professionals I spoke to, and one that will likely take many more product cycles for Apple to truly fix, is one of trust. Apple, the business behemoth that it is, still has a reputation to build in the enterprise space. In order to become a go-to purchase for studios, Apple doesn’t just need to make the Mac Pro more competitive on price — it needs to reestablish itself as a brand that industries can rely on for years to come. And it needs to make some amends.

This, basically. Is it going to sell in huge numbers? No. But canceling it would be bad for the brand.

I didn’t fucking tag you in my original post. I don’t even know how you found it in the first place. If this is how the fediverse works, that’s not good.

@TechConnectify I think you’re missing the part where I didn’t like the content, and I don’t like you personally, and I unsubscribed. Please stop spamming me.

As of this moment, the post has:

• 87 points on beehaw.org
• 55/38 on kbin.social
• 61 points on midwest.social
• 62 points on programming.dev

The real question is if downvotes on other instances federate back to Beehaw (i.e. did they only hide the button, or did they truly block them?)

That’s great that you found something that worked for you and for others. And I respect your stance on cost.

But it doesn’t change the fact that an experiment that only runs through the pre-wash cycle is at best misleading when the results that are important are that of the full cycle. And it also doesn’t change my impression that you used a fundamentally flawed experiment to try to make a logical argument, which was then contradicted in your follow-up.

It’s just not a great look.

If the point of the second video was “I was wrong” (versus “I’m still right but for different reasons”) then I probably wouldn’t have unsubscribed. Your moving of the goalposts (which just triggers too many memories of growing up with narcissists) just confirms that was a good choice.

But I do like your content about LED holiday lights, and I will be back to see what you find this season.

For what it’s worth, adding a little citric acid should be more cost effective than putting more detergent in the prewash cup.

I came for the traffic signals. I cringed through the overly-long CED saga. I left after the dishwashers.

I’ll still pop in seasonally though, for the latest on proper LED holiday lights.

Dishwashing video #1: Detergent pods must be bad, because dishwashers have a pre-wash dispenser. So if you use pods, you aren’t using enough detergent!

Here’s my demonstration of how using detergent during pre-wash results in more cleaning occurring during pre-wash (which, you know, isn’t the full cycle and isn’t how people use dishwashers).

Dishwashing video #2: Actually, I was totally wrong. But detergent pods are still bad, because they result in using too much detergent and are wasteful!

'Member when Facebook chat was federated with Jabber?

Pepperidge Farm remembers!

There is already a list of instances which have pledged to not federate with Meta. The landscape is going to splinter into two networks.

I’m surprised none of them have just set AutoModerator to remove every new post.

Reddit didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. According to Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt, “We’ll no longer comment on hearsay, unsubstantiated claims, or baseless accusations from The Verge. We’ll be in touch as corrections are needed.” In the absence of corrections, then, you can assume Reddit believes none are necessary.

Gold.

I have found no substantial difference between the DJ and the Daily Mix playlists. They both just play way too much of the exact same songs that Spotify has pushed at me for years.

As you grow up and learn new words, you can say more with fewer of them.

tips appreciated

I see what you did there
