Friend of mine once found a frozen-over cd of “Shaggy - Wasn’t Me” in his backyard, and after cleaned and thawed, it worked no problem. I guess someone really hated that single?

Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Haribo gummies are so hard you could probably use them instead of rubber bullets.0·8 days agoThey might have a variant that’s supposed to be hard but basically all of local Haribo bears or cola gummies or frogs are super soft and chewy.
Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Discord Begins Testing Facial Scans for Age Verification0·9 days agoSame, I still use it at around 15% of my own peak usage, if this gets beyond the testing phase, i’m out as well. Never trusted discords ownership and bussinessmodel, and observing their behaviour the last 4-5 years really cemented that as accurate. Bye, I won’t miss y’all.
Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Developing a self-hosted alternative to Google KeepEnglish0·18 days agoI think I understand your requirements more clearly now, a framework for FOSS collaborative work would be really great. I Hope you can find a way to use Matrix for it. Thanks for the explanation.
Man, I loved the google docs realtime collab functionality, they pretty much nailed it day 1 in my eyes. It’s so easy. If your project works/takes off it should be a lot more straightforward for FOSS projects to incorporate it. Hype!
Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Developing a self-hosted alternative to Google KeepEnglish0·18 days agoHey Hey! What a fantastic idea, I sure hope you can manage!
I was immediately wondering why you wouldn’t hop on projects already out there. For example: I recently ditched google Keep // Trello for Joplin, which i think already ticks alot of your boxes, even Async collab should work (but not realtime, and you’d have to manually resolve conflicts). Maybe adding better collab in Joplin is a more efficient way to spend your time? LibreOffice also has Async collab, since I think about 6 months, so while it might be young, it will grow, and might also benefit from another person putting their time towards it.
Whatever you choose to do, I’ll be super interested to see the results.
Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•"When does <insert package name> get update ?" moment.0·21 days agoWhy even use releases? Everyone can build everything for themselves. ‘Normal Users’ are just lazy, everyone wants to know how every piece of software is built for their system, it’s not like they have other stuff to do.
Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK about SomaFM, an independant non-commercial internet radio with really nice and diverse curated channels11·1 month agoSomaFM is my fav Radio Station!
I really like the fact that the Lemmy community includes a whole swathe of trans folk, I learned some new stuff the safe way and that’s really REALLY valuable to me.
I also really like the freedom that using Lemmy for social media empowers us with. Freedom of OS, Porn, whatever.
I can respect almost all kinks, ofc there’s bound to be a couple I don’t understand but that’s not a problem for me, if every participant consented.
I dislike furry kink, it invokes a feeling of disgust in me. This post alienates me slightly from the Linux community. Not a problem, but it did make me realize I would want to be more careful linking my kinks to my favorite Tools/Software in the future in a global media setting.
2025 Is my Linux year. Last year I tried as well, but I hardly boot to Linux today. Before the year is over, Windows will OS non grata here. Except on my Surface maybe 🤔
Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Day One alternative? (FOSS preferred)English0·2 months agoYou could approach it as a Joplin plugins. I switched from Trello to Joplin Kanban and now Joplin YesYouKan. Seeing how powerful they can be, upping Joplin’s journaling game should be doable! And you don’t have to even start your whole own new project.
Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•This Cybertruck shaped man is destroying our government0·2 months agoBaldness is something males experience so much more then females that it’s considered sexist to point it out to a male. But having hair seems to be a lot more universal. Would categorize that more under human affirming care 🤣 which you know, he would still need because he is a lizard.
Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•I'm a Professional Game Composer now using entirely Open-Source tooling0·2 months agoLol ok. I paid money to ableton when I could have just donated instead. Thank you so much for the follow-up!
Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto Open Source@lemmy.ml•I'm a Professional Game Composer now using entirely Open-Source tooling0·2 months agoLatest release is 2020 it says on the GitHub page, is that incorrect information? I started using LMMS in 2022 but I recall ditching it because I thought it was a dead project…
Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Borrowing e-books in the EU just became a lot more complicated as libraries move to closed ecosystemsEnglish0·2 months agoPiracy is a service problem. If Videogames solved this problem, so can books. If changing these laws closes down libraries further, all of our EU representatives that worked on this legislation failed us immensely, libraries are already nothing but a faint whimper of the idea that started them off, and could fulfill an important cultural role for so much more folks. If only they were allowed.
But no. We have to think about those multibillion businesses who might miss a couple bucks left and right. Don’t know if anyone used that adobe DRM in the last 5 years but it’s basically a way to bully paying customers into an ecosystem, and you’re telling me they’re making it worse? Lol.
Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Mastodon’s founder cedes control, refuses to become next Musk or ZuckerbergEnglish0·3 months agoI have recently been using it more to connect with others on a new subject, but now for the first time ever on the internet since early 00’s, we are all owners of it ourselves. All the great new stuff was always owned by others and frankly I’m sick of it.
I never even liked twitter. Then I followed #nature and #bloomscrolling on mastodon for a while and my home feed was a feast of beautiful pics. So now there’s one use for me for microblogging. Neat! Mastodon does what it says it does and even offers ‘default’ instances. I’d love for some GO’s to help reach that donation goal quicker, so we can all get with the program and ditch corpo social media. -Why doesn’t my library host it’s own peertube?? #MakeLibrariesGreatAgain
Aaaaaaw yeah! looks and feels great!

Chee_Koala@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Google Serves AI Slop as Top Result for One of the Most Famous Paintings in HistoryEnglish0·7 months agoIt’s because this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prabhakar_Raghavan thinks that keeping people engaged on google search longer is what it is all about. Not finding what you search for, no, engagement with your search tool.
"He was the head of search for Yahoo from 2005 through 2012 — a tumultuous period that cemented its terminal decline, and effectively saw the company bow out of the search market altogether. His responsibilities? Research and development for Yahoo’s search and ads products.
When Raghavan joined the company, Yahoo held a 30.4 percent market share — not far from Google’s 36.9%, and miles ahead of the 15.7% of MSN Search. By May 2012, Yahoo was down to just 13.4 percent and had shrunk for the previous nine consecutive months, and was being beaten even by the newly-released Bing. That same year, Yahoo had the largest layoffs in its corporate history, shedding nearly 2,000 employees — or 14% of its overall workforce. " - https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/
