These are vinyl. They just tear at the top where the hook goes.

It was a race between my cat chewing the cords holding my horizontal blinds together vs the vertical blinds just deciding to self destruct. I’ve had wet toilet paper that tore less easily then the vertical blinds I have.

Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•My Android phone has apparently leaked the list of all the apps plus browsing history I've ever installed via DNS?English
7·15 days agoThere is a setting called “Use Web Icons” in the app that I would guess is linked to this.
It’s like beer goggles, but it made me functionally illiterate. I could read each word individually and yet they meant nothing since I couldn’t retain the context. The effort involved in decoding each word meant the rest of the words in the sentence were long gone from my memory. All I remember is the word friendship because I said it out loud at some point.

6·4 months agoHe wasn’t saying anything about trans men, at least in the part you quoted. That’s a slur used against trans women.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Bazzite has gained nearly 10k users in 3 months while other Fedora Atomic distros remain fairly stagnantEnglish
1·4 months agoThey make dedicated Nvidia images and I’ve heard good things. It’s supposed to be one of the distros to pick if you want a good out of the box experience with Nvidia. Only used the Amd/Intel image myself though.

Technology@lemmy.world•Jimmy Wales Says Wikipedia Could Use AI. Editors Call It the 'Antithesis of Wikipedia'English
22·4 months agoCrypto was an annoying bubble. If you were in the tech industry, you had a couple of years where people asked you if you could add blockchain to whatever your project was and then a few more years of hearing about NFTs. And GPUs shot up in price. Crypto people promised to revolutionize banking and then get rich quick schemes. It took time for the hype to die down, for people to realize that the tech wasn’t useful, and that the costs of running it weren’t worth it.
The AI bubble is different. The proponents are gleeful while they explain how AI will let you fire all your copywriters, your graphics designers, your programmers, your customer support, etc. Every company is trying to figure out how to shoehorn AI into their products. While AI is a useful tool, the bubble around it has hurt a lot of people.
That’s the bubble side. It also gets a lot of baggage because of the slop generated by it, the way it’s trained, the power usage, the way people just turn off their brains and regurgitate whatever it says, etc. It’s harder to avoid than crypto.

News@lemmy.world•Tennessee man pardoned for Jan. 6 offenses gets life in prison in separate case accusing him of trying in incite "civil war"English
10·5 months agoMy point is that the part about the prosecutor only applies to the last part of the sentence. It’s the newspaper doing an “allegedly” thing. He was sentenced to life for these crimes that the prosecutor says he did. That way if it turns out he didn’t actually do it and later goes free, the newspaper will be less likely to get sued for libel.
The article later goes on to talk about how he was convicted by a jury and sentenced to life by a judge.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I honestly think they're impossible to understandEnglish
4·6 months agoI taught my mom to play by using a couple of starter decks, giving a short overview of the objective and what the parts of the card meant, and then played a couple of matches with our cards revealed to each other. You just need to be patient, willing to explain anything, and be generous with allowing take backs and reminding about any rules they missed. And remember that if you want someone to keep playing with you, they need to be able to have fun too.

Progressive Politics@lemmy.world•US judge orders release of Palestine advocate Mahmoud KhalilEnglish
5·6 months agoLast time, the judge said they can’t hold him just because Marco Rubio wants to deport him. They were allowed to hold him under the flimsy green card application allegations. This is taking away their other excuse.
It didn’t really look like he raised his weapon towards the crowd. He had it lowered until they either started yelling or shooting, hard to tell from the video, he only raised it into a running stance. It was still pointed mostly sideways.
I thought the video would be a slam dunk against him, but it just looks like he panicked when the shooting started and ran away.

News@lemmy.world•Tesla’s phantom braking nightmare: lawsuits surge as drivers lose trust in AutopilotEnglish
5·6 months agoYeah, Tesla’s don’t have ordinary cruise control. They have adaptive cruise control and autopilot, which is adaptive cruise control + lane keeping. Both just use the camera. If you’re hoping to rest your foot during a cross country drive, then you better prepare for it to lurch every time it sees a shadow. Once every couple of miles if the road has enough shadows.
It’s a common thing in programming. There’s some legacy code that isn’t being used and yet removing it causes things to break. Nobody has the time to figure out what is still referencing that code, so it just gets a comment next to it saying “Not used, but removing it breaks the build” and then forgotten about.
Nearly 98% of cars sold in the US are automatic. Manual transmissions are often not even an option for a lot of models.





Are DDR3 sodimms manufactured by anybody anymore? I don’t think Crucial leaving the consumer market will matter here.
Edit: I looked into this more and it turns out that DDR3 was being produced until very recently. I expected it to have died out completely when DDR5 hit the scene. I can’t quite tell if the production has completely stopped (all of the articles are talking about it happening at the end of this year), but it seems likely. I wouldn’t expect any brand to be offering new DDR3 sticks in a few years.
