They don't really care about the effect on pirates, it's all about being able to sell the illusion of stopping piracy to suit wearing idiots.

Every android phone I've had had a one-press 'Emergency' underneath the 0 on the lock screen, is it not the same for others? (although I'd argue that is too easy to hit)

Honestly, the most surprising thing is that they managed 6 successful dives to titanic before it failed.

I was 11, and handled the 'samples' at a BNFL booth (at an airshow) where a geiger counter was set up, it wasn't til the demonstration guy returned and demonstrated to someone else how the coin-sized samples set off the counter that I realised it wasn't a 'self service' type demonstration. The samples were labelled with their atomic symbol, and the most reactive samples were labelled as uranium (about 20mm diameter) and plutonium (about 5mm diameter). At the time I told myself they were likely fake, since leaving a plutonium sample lying around wouldn't be very likely.

I've not died of radiation poisoning or cancer yet, but it's only been 41 years.

There's also $HOME/.local/share for 'static data files' as part of XDG.

My ipad only has 50MB of free ram after the OS loads as it is, I'm not updating ios any further - and I'd probably be just about willing to pay to downgrade back to ipados 12 to make it usable again

That IS what happened, in april.

What happened this month is that the API users (aka 3rd party authors) expressed their dismay at trying to work with reddit's announced changes or getting any movement out of reddit that would allow them to continue.

We could always just throw the cage into the water off the coast of nova scotia, i hear it's a hot destination for billionaires this time of year.

It doesn't appear to

This makes lemmy more usable than kbin for me

Don't put off deleting your past comments too long, without the API you can only delete the 1000 most recent comments.

That said, when I tried to use Redact yesterday it was obvious reddit has some shenanigans going on - it would drop authenticated status on the first attempt to delete a message via the API.

So it's perhaps already too late.
