Looks like this is a list of manufacturers that allow bootloader unlocking. If you want to install a custom ROM, you first need to unlock the bootloader. Note that carrier branded devices of these brands may still have a locked bootloader. The example I’m most familiar with is the Verizon version of Pixels… I always by the carrier unlocked version of the Pixel to ensure an unlocked bootloader.
I randomly tried using Jellyfin today instead of Plex, but Jellyfin kept crashing my browser and logging me out, so I wasn’t in the mood to troubleshoot, so I just gave up and went back to Plex.
In the past, I’ve been annoyed that Jellyfin didn’t seem to have an option to sort media by “Last Episode Date Added”, nor did it seem to have a way to build a queue of episodes from multiple different shows. I think I was also having trouble figuring out how to add multiple sources… I have my “long term” library on a local hard drive, plus anything “new” on a seedbox.
I theoretically want to fully switch over eventually, but so far, Plex is still good enough for my use case.
That’s so weird. I’ve been using Plex for years and had never heard of “Passout Protection” until looking it up just now, nor does it ever stop playback on its own for me unless it reaches the end of the queue. I’m using the free version via web browser on my computer. Maybe it’s a setting that only affects apps? Continuous playback on Plex is one of the reasons why I’ve always preferred it over Netflix, etc.
I’ve recommended it to others, but none are interested, which is extra surprising considering how many of them work in tech or tech adjacent.
If I’m reading this correctly, the reported cases occured in May of 2024? So, 8-9 months ago? I understand testing, etc., does take some time, but it feels unreasonably long for this information to become public. Are my expectations out of line?
I’ve always gotten them for free, but through health insurance. I believe there are some resources available to help uninsured people to get them for free, but the added hassle often deters people.
No worries about “flue”, I understood what you meant, and that’s the primary goal of language. There’s definitely some other English words with regional spelling variations (grey/gray, tire/tyre, color/colour), and many other confusing, similarly spelled words (lose/loose, bowl/bowel, descent/decent 😉). Have you heard about spelling bees? Spelling vs. pronunciation in English is so inconsistent that it’s one of few languages where holding them makes much sense. I bet they’d be pretty silly to hold in German!
I’m in one of the more liberal areas of the US, and as far as I’m aware, the local hospitals recommend covid & flu shots for everyone in the fall, not just vulnerable populations. I’ve never had any trouble getting covid/flu shots in the fall, and they used to even come to our office to offer flu shots to everyone. I think by this time of year though, they may only be recommended for vulnerable populations due to supply issues.
I have a slightly off topic question of my own: is “flue” a regional spelling? I have always seen it as “flu”, and searching for “flu vs flue” is just giving me results like “cold vs flu”.
Yeah, I used to want to text a lot before meeting face to face, but have learned that almost always means I start to “fill in the blanks” and the person I meet never matches up with my expectations. By meeting face to face quickly, I don’t have a chance to build those expectations and am unlikely to feel “catfished” by anything other than blantant lies on their profile.
I think the bigger problem is that the apps really amplify the sense of “there’s always more fish in the sea.” So if that first date wasn’t full of sparks, people often prefer to see what other options are out there, rather than going on second dates to see if anything develops.
With the online approach, I know I’m very guilty of focusing on the other person’s “flaws”, and deciding they’re deal breakers. With people I meet via offline methods, we generally get to know each other a bit more organically and end up having multiple unofficial “dates” before the first official date.
My last actual date was over a year ago, with someone I met offline through mutual friends. There was definitely an initial spark, but it fizzled almost as quickly (mostly my own discomfort with emotional intimacy). We’re actually still friends though, and hang out with each other more often than I hang out with the friend who introduced us. If we had met via dating apps, I highly doubt we would still be friends because we just wouldn’t have any reason to cross paths organically.
JFC, what’s wrong with me? My first thought when reading that was, “Ooh! Maybe then I’ll finally be able to find a job again!”
I’ve definitely encountered it. I think it was in an ADHD community. I linked an unpaywalled article, plus the paywalled journal article that the first article was based on, and they asked me to remove the paywalled journal link.
For anyone that doesn’t like blue cheese, a brie works nicely too. I’ve also seen similar concoctions with traditional jams/jellies and pepper (spicy) jams/jellies.
Well shit. I just wrote up a long ass comment about why it probably sucks, but then decided I might as well try it out first. I created an account, but it won’t let me log in. I enter my email and password, then it makes me do a captcha, then it just says, “An error occured. Please try again.” I’ve tried multiple times and I guess I give up now.
I never really had trouble getting dates on Tinder, etc., but very few of those led to second dates. Of the people I’ve dated that I met without the help of apps, I probably would’ve “swiped left” on most of them. As another user said, general human interaction is my current route, focusing my energy on social interactions where I can meet people the old fashioned way: mostly friends of friends. That can range from get togethers at someone’s house, happy hours, general meetup groups, volunteering, hobbies and/or classes.
Blue cheese crumbles in ramen or pumpkin soup. Soft blue cheese on a water cracker, topped with a drizzle of spicy honey. Maybe not super weird, but a lot of people just don’t like blue cheese to begin with.
I definitely prefer adding savory things to cottage cheese, not sweets. Some of my most frequent additions are salsa, everything bagel seasoning (preferably without salt), or red pepper flakes & garlic powder. Oh! Fresh green onions are also good. Also, full fat cottage cheese is way better than the lower fat versions, and I definitely prefer some brands over others.
Isn’t Venmo owned by PayPal?
Edit: Oh shit, duh. Totally forgot what thread I was commenting on.
I feel like there are more older people. I have seen some website analytics of Reddit, and as I recall, it averaged something like early twenties. That may have changed over time, but I’d still bet that the median age here is higher.
So, apparently at least a few Lemmy apps do not automatically condense whitespace. This means that I very regularly notice comments with “extra” spaces between sentences on Lemmy, which suggests those users are probably at least 35-40 years old.
Piefed has supposedly implemented a workaround to allow for private voting.
Comfort, which to me usually means:
I’m also a child who hates tying my shoes, so a style that’s intended to slip on and off is preferred, but I can switch to elastic laces instead.
Hard disagree. If you ask people to make a temporary change that still feels achievable, they’re more likely to at least give it a shot, and many of those people will spend some time considering alternatives. Once the week is up, some people may even choose to continue boycotting Amazon, or at least reduce their spending there.
