One helpful thing I found is that it can skip “non music sections”, ie those cringey silent scenes they put in YouTube videos. If that’d existed a couple of years ago, I probably wouldn’t have switched to Spotify. I mainly switched because I was sick of random 10 second pauses for dramatic effect in the middle of songs, often right before the chorus

If I may ask, how many subs/total views did you amass after a decade?

20 bucks is more than reasonable for a 10 dollar shirt imo. But where I am, often these shirts will go for the equivalent US$50 plus the same or more in shipping. I think that’s a scam. 20 bucks is nothing

Apparently movie 43 is the only movie I’ve ever saved onto my google watchlist. But I don’t generally save my movies onto watch lists

I feel a bit split about this. Seems it is an actual law, and it kind of makes sense. You probably don’t want random components from unknown people and places in your multi million dollar space equipment. But it feels rather arrogant to just demand such things.

Is NASA actually a customer? Did they pay for a license to use curl (genuine question - I’m not familiar enough with it to know if enterprises and organisations require a paid license)? Are they planning on becoming a paying customer? Do they make donations to the project? If not, it feels kind of rude to send a demand letter to the lead developer of a free piece of software straight up demanding a formal letter stating where the free software is being developed and maintained (for free), or if outside the USA, that the free software has been tested in the USA. Oh, and a bonus demand that such information be returned within 5 business days (naturally with an implied “or else”, just to really make sure those pesky people maintaining open source software for free really get the memo)

In any case, why don’t all their scary 3 letter spy agencies go and figure it out on behalf of NASA themselves? It’s open source, they could just like, read the source, test the source, and audit the source themselves. Or fork it and make any modifications they’d like to ensure its safety

I don’t blame the person sending the emails, obviously, they’re just following orders, but the whole email reads as very entitled and arrogant, assuming NASA don’t provide any compensation to the project and projects maintainers for their use of curl

'tis the highest honour

Google docs and sheets don’t support WebP either. Always ironic when they made the fucking format

I’m really grateful that most cheap shit physical stores in my area uses USB C these days. Even most stuff on Amazon and in $2 shops is mostly USB C from what I’ve seen.

The only 2 devices I have that still use micro USB is a small desk vacuum, and my raspberry pi zero W. But I only have a single micro USB cable so I just have an adaptor for my vacuum

No, a lettuce spinner is a little basket inside of a container with a handle that you can spin to turn the basket. You wash your lettuce and put it into the basket and turn the handle. The centrifugal force (I think) causes the water clinging to the outside of the lettuce to drain into the container.

I think if you filled the container and basket partially up with ice or crushed ice) and some water, it’d achieve the same result as the machine someone linked above

I think a lettuce spinner would probably work, since it has a basket inside a container. I might give it a go next time I buy a can of anything

Thanks for the answer! That’s pretty cool honestly. Could you achieve the same result with anything that spins, like a lettuce spinner?

How does that work?

Now I kinda want to write a full license, complete with all the legal jargon, that takes up 43 pages of space to say you can do whatever the fuck you want with this software

Thank you for your thought provoking question, “AI has use”. I’m sure this is a legitimate question coming from a real human.

Recently I’ve been falling asleep to ThioJoe. They do occasionally have minor sound effects, but I can ignore those. He maintains a consistent tone throughout

If you click the “HD” button, it loads in better quality and you can zoom in more

I go to sleep wearing noise cancelling headphones and playing YouTube videos from a handful of creators with nice monotone voices that I’ve seen before. If I don’t, then my mind gets too preoccupied with thinking about things that aren’t important, and on top of that every single little noise gives me an adrenaline rush and I feel the need to get out of bed and go investigate

Ironically when I want to be an NPC nobody interacts with, people decide to start interacting with me 🤦‍♂️

I find you offensive.

I know that would’ve been terrifying in the moment, but God that’s a funny mental image
