In Chile there's this 2000's telenovela called "Romané" about a group of gypsies that arrive to a town in northern Chile. I personally don't understand the fascination, but the show took over the collective minds of the population, I guess it was the abundance of quotable moments and the very distinctive speaking patterns of the characters and their personalities, they were memes before we knew what a meme was. You can quote any character in the show and everyone will know what you're talking about, even young people.

They're still rerunning the show every couple of years or so, 25 years later, I'm not aware of any other show here that has resonated so much.

hot water is a relatively modern luxury. you probably have a living ancestor that remembers not growing up with easy, or any, access to hot water, just hurtfully cold, refreshing water.

Niagara user here, I think it's worth every penny, and it's so cheap, and the developer is very receptive. It's a very simple purchase.

Chilean here, we have two classics:

  1. Completo (as in "complete", also known as Dinámico for "dynamic"): Diced tomato, sauerkraut, mashed avocado, chilean american sauce (finely chopped pickled white onions, carrots and pickles) and mayo.
  2. Italiano ("italian"): Diced tomato, mashed avocado and mayo.

I'd normally go for the latter and save the former for special occasions.

I think they also want the curated way that apple let's an application into the app store.

the play store is kinda not very restrictive...

The Timicin episode (S04E22 "Half a life") always makes me tear up at the end. The emotional struggle that Lwaxana had is heartbreaking, and speaks a lot about the role that we give our elders in our society. It's something that we still struggle with more than 20 years later.

I live in South America, it's not, every groundskeeper in my medium-income condo neighborhood has one, and makes working from home really difficult, specially in the summer when you want to open a window

True Blood, season 2 IIRC?

correct me if I'm wrong, but it's up to 1000 in Spanish, right? I'm wondering if I'm saying 9 right.

I used Skype a lot to call landlines from outside the US, but now I need a replacement, do any of you have recommendations? I'm testing Rebtel, but it isn't cutting it for me, it connects like 1 out of 5 times.

my theory is that (most) people want their money's worth. if you have two phones, one bigger than the other, but you don't know the prices of each, the perceived value of the bigger one is higher, even in they're both the same price you wouldn't assume right away that the bigger one had to cut things out to offset the bigger display.

phones are also a big gift item, and people are not concerned with niche likes in those cases.

I'd say that the increased popularity of foldable phones currently speak of our desire of smaller phones (my partner at least says it's the reason she loves hers) with a higher perceived value. I hope marketing departments are taking the right notes from these and not that foldable is better.

I gifted the Pokemon Battle Academy set this year to my nephews (both 9yo). BA is boxed like a board game, it has three decks, two basic decks which are pre-sorted to play a tutorial game, and one advanced unsorted deck, along with guides for playing both decks, a full game guide, coin, damage counters, and a board which guides you on how to play. I also bought them sleeves and a couple of boosters that I told them they could use later.

I was there when they opened the box, told them about how I convinced their grandpa when I was their age to get me my first deck, and how I didn't play with anyone for a long time because no one in school had cards, and how lucky they were to have each other to play with. In the spirit of letting them do their Christmas thing, I told them "do you need me to teach you how to play?" they said they were ok, and I went to do other things around the house.

15 minutes later I come back and all cards are basically scattered around the room. One of my nephews is negotiating to trade 20 cards of their pre-constructed deck for the holo that comes on the other's deck. The advance deck is nowhere to be found, it's probably now part of their mega deck. The board, counters, coin and guides are still in the box.

They never battled, but all in all, they stayed trading cards all morning until they had to leave. One of them showed the other how to open their boosters the way youtubers open them (by putting the rare ones at the end for maximum content) and the importance of sleeving their holos.

I guess collecting is more fun these days. I'm happy they found joy in that.

Maybe we battle next year.

 

Let's say I have the following structure:

my_module/
  __init__.py
  utilities.py

and __init__.py contains

from .utilities import SomeUtilityFunction

Is there a way to prevent or alert developers when they do

from my_module.utilities import SomeUtilityFunction

instead of

from my_module import SomeUtilityFunction

The problem arose when a few modules started using a function that was imported inside a module in which it wasn't used, while also being available on the module's __init__.py, so after linting the file and removing the unused import my tests started failing.

any other advice for situations like this?

 

I know that canonically, Jankom is a Tellarite and not a Talaxian, but I feel that his story's justification has a Tom Paris/Nick Locarno vibe, but I haven't been able to find any relationship on Google. There's a lot on Jankom that reminds me of Neelix:

  • Delta quadrant
  • Split nose
  • Hair, sideburns and eyebrows
  • Ears somewhat
  • Spots

Also, I thought that Tellarites would look closer to what the doctor on Janeway's crew looked like.

Is some writer not being paid for the creation of Talaxian on Prodigy?

 

Insert Link dialog is inserting a ! symbol before the URL? which makes Boost not render it as a link, I don't know if that's the behavior on web Lemmy.

Repro:

  • Start a new post or comment
  • Press the link button on the toolbar
  • Fill the form and insert the link
  • The resulting markdown looks like this:

![Some URL](https://example.com)

If you press the preview (magnifier) button, it doesn't show as a link, and this continues after you post the new message

The other thing is that both fields of the Insert Link dialog have the placeholder "URL". I know the icons are different but at first glance I found it confusing

 

Hello, I'm quite new to the self-hosted experience, and so far I've been running my services from a RPi3b, and I'm looking to upgrade.

One of requirements is that the system is silent and cheap to run. Also, it should be mostly self contained. My Pi is in a passive cooled aluminum case.

So I've been looking at options and stumble upon the Bmax N1 plus, it's a cheap, passive cooled, low power Celeron machine with a bunch of internal storage options. I've seen a couple of critics in yt saying that is too slow for console emulation, but how about running services?

Other option I've checked out was the Zima board, but the whole naked computer aspect is not particularly to my liking and I don't have the tools to build a nice case for it.

I'm mostly interested in running home assistant and jellyfin.
