If you put in a little extra unroll/reroll work, you can make it mysteriously change direction mid-roll and you’ll be long gone.

Nah, it’s just a little Richard.

For the most part, nothing. There are some edge cases where TVs get naggy if left offline, or do something sketchy to gain internet access, but this can pretty much be avoided by reading reviews and/or returning a misbehaving device to the retailer.

Ctrl+F’d for this.

I thought of this one too. “Photoelectric” smoke detectors are a thing, and it’s good to know if that’s the kind you have.

I’ve found the look of the UI to be an acquired taste, and maybe easier to swallow if you’re used to using open source stuff. But I’d agree that the way it works is, in places, almost unforgivably unfriendly.

But it’s the “almost” that keeps me using it, because there’s nothing else that works across the platforms I care about, even if the application is so, so difficult to recommend or “deploy” to users.

KOReader! I maintain my library with Calibre and browse its OPDS server through KOReader.

Happiness!

It’s not, though. The person I replied to is saying that the lowest button of the cluster should be A, whereas the SNES standard puts B in that spot.

What makes BAXY the right way?

That’s Orgzly, right? How do you like it?

I see you what did.

What am I missing here?

“L” “M” “M”

I agree with this, but in open source there’s an extra layer of complexity: the “I don’t care about market share” dev attitude that’s sometimes admirable and sometimes frustrating.

Agreed, it’s such a poor summary of the article that I can’t tell if it’s an intentional strawman argument.

Be so bold.

I’m not sure if you can show/hide like that, but as a workaround you can toggle auto-hiding with a qdbus command, and set a keyboard shortcut to run that.

Browse /all, sort by new, you’ll see every post your Lemmy instance is aware of.

Creative use of search engines and possible lyrics have helped chip away at most of my list over the years. But two tough ones have been bouncing around my head since the early 90s.

One was a rap song I remembered from the radio with a really catchy hook. Then a few years ago during a birthday party the hook was suddenly just there blaring from the speakers, so I grabbed for my phone to search the audio. People yelled at me to put it away and keep dancing, but only I knew what was at stake! The song that was playing was Wilfredo Vargas - Abusadora, although clearly that’s not even remotely rap. But knowing that title, it wasn’t long before I found the song from my memory, which had sampled it. It turns out the original song is much better.

The second one was even more elusive, but it kind of nagged at me because even as a kid I had a sense of how massively popular this Spanish-language song was, so it felt like this one should be easy to find. But just a year or two ago I heard it blaring from the speakers while walking past a restaurant! Again with the audio search, I managed to identify it as Kaoma - Lambada and, whoops, my memory was wrong and it wasn’t even Spanish! But I was right about it being massively popular — plus the song has been widely covered, remixed and sampled (and even that popular version was itself a cover). Except none of this would have helped because the part of the song I thought was catchy was clearly not the iconic hook melody that everyone knows, so humming it for people never helped anyone get close to the answer.
