Just came here to say that this also affects any applications that use the libwebp library.

That includes many apps that most people don't think of as "browsers".

Electron based applications all use chromium under the hood, and are quite common/prolific these days.

Expect updates to a lot of things in the near future.

 

update / patch all the things

Turquoise, by Electric Six (electricsix.bandcamp.com)
 

Any other E6 fans on here??

I think my fave track so far is Staten Island Ass Squad but there's a lot of gems on this one.

I have a TCL and it works just fine without internet.

Honestly, if I bought a TV, brought it home and it refused to function without internet I'd march that thing right back to the store for a refund.

Vote with your wallet.

Pretty sure the internet would collapse in a matter of hours.

I hope everyone reading this knows that you can just not connect a "Smart" TV to the internet. Leave it as a "dumb" TV.

Get a separate device like a Roku or AppleTV or Amazon Fire or whatever. The garbage hardware that TV manufacturers slap inside a TV so they can advertise its "smart" features will always be inferior to a purpose built external device.

To say nothing of the security implications of having an unpatched probably unsupported IoT device running on your network for years.

Ever notice that this movie is basically the same story as The Three Amigos?

BetterTouchTool (which isn't free but is worth every penny) lets you do everything rectangle does. Also lets you configure your mouse buttons to do whatever you want. Also infinite custom hot keys and shortcuts.

Also Raycast as a replacement for Spotlight.

Pretty much anything by Electric Six or Clutch. Honorable mentions to Soul Coughing and VNV Nation.


Karma chameleon, you come and go ⋅ Karma police, arrest this ho. ⋅ Karma's a bitch, it gets a little jumpy when you come near.

-- Electric Six, (It Gets a Little) Jumpy


Like Harry Truman dropping bombs out of the air ⋅ Like any self-respecting multi-billionaire ⋅ This is who you are, five dancing teenage boys ⋅ Who sing their way into our hearts ⋅ Backstreet's back, alright

-- Electric Six, Jimmy Carter


Next thing that I did was tap out Morse code ⋅ With a wooden nickel on the receiver of the phone ⋅ Before I could complete it, I was quickly overtaken ⋅ By the angry spirits of Ronald and Nancy Reagan

-- Clutch, X-Ray Visions

But he also discusses why things froth and some of the science behind it. Might be helpful when selecting an alterna-milk?

I'm curious, what brand/model is the frother?

Just gonna leave this link here, since it's comprehensive in a general way.

ah, damn. thanks for the info!

 

I have a bunch of Nest Detect (A0028) sensors from the now defunct Google Nest home security system.

Anybody know what radio protocol these things use? Zigbee? Z-Wave? some other thing?

I have a Z-Wave USB dongle, or I could get a Zigbee one, but I'm not sure if either of them actually communicates with these devices.

I hate to throw them away, as they're well designed.

_____, by Sadness (sadnessmusic.bandcamp.com)
 

Not sure what to call this album. "Series of Underscores" ? 😂

Love it so far.

The Blog That Celebrates Itself Records (theblogthatcelebratesitself.bandcamp.com)
 

I'm sure this is probably old news for many folks here, but this label has some fantastic compilation albums. Quite literally days and days worth of material.

 

Oh, my bad, I was thinking of the Dutch King.

Lemmy in general? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

How things are going with Lemmy in general?

  • The software is pretty promising.
  • The network of Lemmy instances is expanding rapidly.
  • The userbase is exploding even more rapidly.
  • The number of Lemmy mobile clients is up to 3, that I know of. (Jerboa, Mlem, Memmy)

The quirks of navigation takes some getting used to, and I kinda like the UX of Kbin better, but I find more engagement happening from the Lemmy side of things, so I guess I'm sticking here.

There doesn't seem to be a way to migrate instances easily (yet?) like with Mastodon. Not sure if that's important, but worth noting.

888! (lemmy.world)
 

900 here I come...

 

I'm a little sad there's no Jimmy McMillan character, just for this one prompt.

I'm sure this is a total longshot, given how few folks are likely learning Yiddish on Duolingo, but figured I'd create a community for it anyway.

They say if you don't practice the language every day, it'll never stick.
