My headphones' bluetooth receiver is on the right. Bluetooth performs very poorly at passing through the tissue of a human body (I think it has to do with all the water in there), so when I wear my headphones (always), my phone goes in right front pocket to minimize the path of the signal through my body.

(BTW, you should actually try this if your bluetooth devices suck. Position the transmitter and receiver so they don't go through your body. I promise you it improves things a LOT.)

You don't have to put "Nobody:" before your joke, you can just say your joke.

Quite--that's why active is a better metric. And as others have stated, metrics maybe don't even matter; or they misrepresent.

My point was only for those who want to know the fate it Lemmy as it compares to Reddit: Reddit doesn't care right now. They're not going to feel the pain of the bleed for quite a while yet

That's pretty cool.

I'm truly not being a negative nancy but the last time I checked reddit had 400M user accounts. We should be comparing active user numbers, but either way, this is a drop in the bucket and reddit rightly does not consider Lemmy a threat to its supremacy at this point.

We're doing great though! Good trajectory.

The ferris wheel was QA'd to the point that even a meth-head could set it up safely.

you edited it so it's less funny, which, you know, why even bother at that point. Why would you intentionally make a meme less funny.

It says "Quick question: what the fuck"

Does IC give you a way to make your own replacement suggestions? I only use Shipt, and it's built into shipt to preload "if they don't have that, get this". Most of the time the shopper is able to complete the whole order without changing anything when the preloaded suggestions are used.

I hope the analogy doesn't hold because the next bit after this is they wander the desert for 40 years.

I guarantee you if he puts a Zuckerberg tracker on Twitter, Elon won't say shit about that one.

YSK that most of these have an expiration date (and should have an expiration date). Checking the box says trust this device that I'm currently using, for a while, thus:

  • if you use another device to log in (e.g. switch from mobile to desktop browser), you will need to do it again, because security is tied to your ownership of the device, and
  • if you continue to use the same device for more than--usually--a month, you'll be asked again because there's a possibility your device got stolen or compromised in the meantime.

In short, most of the time you'll have to do this once a month, or more if you're using more than one device, and that's nominally to protect you.

However, yes, a significant portion of these are just implemented by dummies, and don't work.

The particularly annoying ones for me are the ones on bill pay sites. If they work for a month, that doesn't help me. I only pay my bills once a month.
