The downside of doing this is that the shares always show out of sync in the UI.

For someone who likes everything showing green, those purple warnings hurt my soul

But the rebadged Honda vehicles are always sub-par

Cause they weren't Hondas.

Makes me wonder why they do it? Why put your badge on something that is objectivity worse than what you can do?

I assume it's to test the market for viability or something, but it just devalues the brand and makes me less willing to consider it even if a "real" one is released.

I'm surprised superheated water injuries aren't more common with all these people microwaving single cups at a time.

I'm on Tildes, and it's a good site for discussion without the constant memes and accusations of everyone being a communist / not communist / slightly communist / whatever else seems to get thrown around on Lemmy.

Not real sure why RIF dude chose that site to write an app for though. The site itself is basically exactly the same as the app. Very clean, very simple, no wasted space. It's even better than old.reddit at prioritising content over pretty pictures.

Lemmy would benefit much more from a RIF app, even if Voyager and the like do a pretty good job as it stands.

Yeah but I might be .05% native american and then I can get a cool eagle tattoo

If its not, then why is it so popular there?

Everyone's so keen to be 12% Irish so they can claim they enjoy beer because of their proud Irish heritage, or have 0.5% native american so they can claim a tribe and get tattoos that are deeply spiritual (now), or that 8% Italian which explains why they love pizza. For a country that's so publicly proud - what with the flags and all - everyone's certainly keen to find any excuse to pretend to be from somewhere else.

I know literally one Australian who's done it, and they only did it after living in the US for a couple of years.

One of my family members moved to the US and did it. Really pissed me off that they'd do that but I guess it's the thing to do there?? They've since moved back to AU but got to leave a little bit of themselves (and by genetics, me) behind to be sold to the highest bidder <3

Thanks heaps for that.

Or as they call it in France, Le Porn

CB radios often had a "PA" switch that sent your microphone audio to a loudspeaker under the hood

We used to roll those back in the day. A friend gave my very drunk self a lift home one evening and I used it to give commentary to a group of revellers on the side of the road... who threw a beer bottle at us, and then chased the car which luckily didn't get stopped at the traffic light nearby.

Good times.

Crashplan, currently around 4TB and several million files being backed up without issue.

Recently swapped from bare metal to docker without issue.

I deliberately avoided IT as a career because I didn't want my hobby to be ruined by making it work.

Unfortunately now I'm so buggered after working my normal job that I lack the energy (and time) to code much anyway. And I earn less, probably.

Think I might have played myself.
