No it's not working. I can't see your post. None of us can, we were just playing along. Anyway, sorry to have to be the one to inform you.

I've been having the same problem even on my home IP. It only happens when I'm using Firefox though. If I use Chrome, and oddly enough change my IP by routing through my rented VPS and pass a few captchas then Google will eventually start to trust Firefox from my home IP. It's bizarre and Google is really starting to piss me off because I'm wasting so much time on this shit.

Nvidia Shield plugged into my TV running Jellyfin. Occasionally if I get playback issues I'll open with an external player like Just Player, Vimu, VLC, etc.

Jellyfin used to be pretty rough with playback, especially if you watch with subtitles, but in recent months I've rarely had playback issues.

On PC I use mpc/madvr, but usually just to check a video file, not to watch a whole movie. I save that for the TV.

I hired an electrician to rewire an outlet under my sink so that the switch above the sink can control only one of the two plugs. When he was done, I used the outlet tester and found that he hadn't properly connected the ground wire. I wasn't planning on connecting an appliance that needed grounding, but I think every outlet in the house should be grounded anyways as a matter of course. Got him to fix it before he left. That $9 I spent 7 years ago paid off as far as I'm concerned.

I have a garage door opener and I guess it's just not shielded well enough because LED light bulbs interfere with the signal from my remote, just one example. I would much rather buy new incandescent bulbs every few years than replace the opener outright.

Thanks, I sent it to my sprout friend who has been curious about 1.0.

It would be nice also to be able to browse other instances while logged into your home instance account so that you can find communities that you might not otherwise know about and subscribe directly.

 

FSC made a statement about the decision here: https://www.freespeechcoalition.com/blog/fsc-will-appeal-decision-in-utah

IANAL, but reading the court's decision, I think dismissal on 11th amendment grounds is a case study for why states are creating laws that allow for private liability -- the "vigilante enforcement" approach. It gives states the ability to create unconstitutional laws without consequence. States can easily create a chilling effect on speech, while preventing plaintiffs from proving standing due to sovereign immunity and no "real" damages having taken place yet.

Ghost in the Shell (2017) was quite good.

The developers of Lemmy are the type who have jumped the shark when it comes to leftism.

I can't even blame you that much when places like Costco do their damnedest to get everyone in the self checkout line. If you're not paying attention it'd be easy to roll through there with stuff that doesn't really work well for self checkout.

Even when Susan is taking a huge cart through, a single queue for multiple service providers (self checkout) is always going to be theoretically more efficient than multiple queues - one per provider (one line for each cashier). The best of both worlds are places that have a single area to corral you into line, and a row of cashiers where you can go to the first available.

Yeah I really hate it when they give you self checkout but make everything function way way worse than what the cashier uses. I've never even considered shoplifting before but I've come pretty close on machines that refuse to scan because they're stuck on something 5 items ago when I'm moving quickly. Especially if it still beeps when I scan new items but refuses to actually scan it because it's hung up on something that it was slow to get the weight of -- really throws me off. It's not my job to baby your machine for you. I'm not getting paid for it. Just let me scan my shit and go.
