It won't open in Brave on Linux either.

The simple answer would be just to click "instances" at the bottom of any lemmy page to view the list of other instances the one you're on is federated with. Most instances have both a linked list and blocked list on that page.

I wonder if it can be cheaper and better at scale than iron-air batteries. Those seem inexpensive to make, and can carry a large enough capacity if you put a whole lot of them in parallel with each other, and have a long lifetime. They're just really heavy for their amount of energy density and fairly low current per cell, but that shouldn't be a problem when building enough to be grid-scale.

On the technicians line of an electronics manufacturing facility, had a new hire come in on his first day. He was friendly. So much so that he wanted to use my workstation to log into his Yahoo mail and show me some pictures some female sent him. He calls up the photos and it's full nudity real big on my computer monitor. I tell him "dude, we can't have porn at work, close that out." He panics and turns off the monitor. At some point I have to turn the monitor and close out of the browser, when no one is looking.

He was showing a pretty inattentiveness to his first day on the job training just not seeming to want to have anything to do that's any kind of actual work.

Before the lunch break, he announced that he's going to the restroom, then is never seen again. All I could tell the supervisor was that he said he was going to the restroom hours ago then haven't seen him since.

There was also the forgotten format, D-VHS which was a specialized VHS tape tape which the recordings could be at 720p or 1080i resolutions. Or the same resolution as DVD but at a higher bitrate so there are less noticeable digital compression artifacts than DVD. The introduction of HD-DVD and Blu-ray disc formats kept the D-VHS format from ever becoming widely adopted.

You have been trained by your cat.

I don't remember what happened to Scotty after the TNG episode where they found him preserved in a transporter buffer on a ship left on the outside of a dyson sphere.

O'Brien when this episode concluded: "Back into the transporter buffer you go, Mr. Scott!"

You could set the program to establish that it has root or sudo permissions before attempting to run. Then the line in except that runs rm -rf / would be more effective.

I learned that lesson as a 12 year old in the early 90's on an original IBM PC 5150 with a 5151 monochrome monitor, fucking with TSR's in DOS 3.1. It must've made the graphics card change timing modes and the monitor immediately blew a fuse. My dad then soldered in a fuseholder so the fuse in the monitor can be replaces as needed.

Out of fear of doing further damage, I did stay away from the particular TSRs that had any relation to changing video timing modes and it didn't happen again.

Liar.

Well, that makes it true then.
