gkd@lemmy.mlto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Do you donate to FOSS projects?English17·2 years agoJust as an aside, donating does not have to be monetary. Helping (if possible) with development, triaging issues or helping with support/forums of any kind, along with in general filing good issues goes miles for FOSS projects, especially larger ones with only a few developers.
gkd@lemmy.mlto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Paypal won't let me remove my debit cardEnglish29·2 years agoPayPal is notorious for displaying meaningless errors for just about everything, even when it is intentional. Might not be the case here, but they definitely do things like this.
Though if I had to put my money on it, if it isn’t a bug it’s an anti fraud measure of some sort.
gkd@lemmy.mlto Gaming@lemmy.world•I remember being angry at how much this made me laughEnglish4·2 years agoAbsolutely one of my favorite games when I was a kid.
gkd@lemmy.mlto Linux@lemmy.ml•GitHub - SerenityOS/serenity: The Serenity Operating System 🐞5·2 years agoWow, a whopping 100k from Shopify, that’s awesome!
Surprisingly I was just looking and there are a ton of active mods still in development. Pretty cool.
This reminds me of how upset I was to break my Battlefront CD when I was younger. One of those games you had to enter the CD for to start. Needless to say, that was what started my torrent and crack experience.
Such a great game. The mods and third party maps were awesome. No edition after the first ever lived up to that, especially this new crap they came out with.
gkd@lemmy.mlto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Firefox starting to remove tracking parameters from shared URLs8·2 years agoYea, existing extensions get things wrong sometimes. I’m sure this will be the same - especially if sites start changing things to temporarily circumvent. Needs to be an easy way to grab the real URL just in case.
gkd@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Mozilla tells extension developers to get ready to finally go mobileEnglish6·2 years agoIf Google is investing in creating a non-WebKit browser for iOS and given all the heat they are getting for Safari and WebKit, we might see this sooner than later.

gkd@lemmy.mlto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•The way of the Blockbuster 2: Electric BoogalooEnglish41·2 years agoMy plex server is the best streaming experience I ever had. Only stopped running it because I just wasn’t watching anything for a good bit. More time on my hands now, so time for a revival.
The absolutely number one thing that allowed me to actually use the thing though was Yabai+SKHD. Tiled windows and the full customization of hotkeys make this thing so much more usable and, frankly - surprisingly - it’s grown on me.
That isn’t an iDevice specific issue. It’s how a ton of mobile devices handle charging of the battery for various reasons, including the obvious one of you being mid boot and losing power to the device.
gkd@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•X runs ‘timeline takeover’ ad promoting anti-trans filmEnglish4·2 years agoI wish people (especially just regular ol’ people, not big names) realized that if they started using Mastodon or BlueSky their engagement would go up tremendously. I’ve had full blown huge threads with all sorts of people on both platforms, even when I had literally just made my account.
On Twitter you’re lucky to even get a like on a post unless it’s some hot take on a political topic.
gkd@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•X runs ‘timeline takeover’ ad promoting anti-trans filmEnglish11·2 years agoYep. I could see people sticking around if there were not viable alternatives. And while those alternatives have indeed been around for a good while, they are very available now. There’s really no excuse now.
Now, while I do think Mastodon is the better platform, I’m curious to see how BlueSky affects Twitter’s user base once it comes out of its “beta”. For all of its faults, it does have the smallest learning curve - if really any at all - when comparing it to Twitter.
gkd@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•FCC to propose a minimum 100mbps to qualify as broadband, with a future goal of 1gbpsEnglish17·2 years agoWe don’t throttle to our company-owned Speedtest servers though so we can disprove you when claiming we are not offering you peak speeds.
gkd@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•New evidence confirms COVID-19 vaccines are overwhelmingly safeEnglish101·2 years agoShould have turned your phone off during the national alert test.
Completely agree! Gnome is nice but never been able to move past KDE if I had to pick a full blown DE.
