Sorry but you have clearly never imported and raised giant kangaroos for mass transit. $80 billion is nothing to them. Nothing.

I'm sorry, I'm having difficulty following your point.

That's a really, really crap argument that is permissive of all kinds of cultural genocide.

Isn't it the opposite? He's arguing that work of cultural importance should NOT be in private hands. You might say, "Who gets to determine what's culturally significant? And why do we trust governments to do a better job than private collectors?" Those are fair questions, I think, but then I get lost again:

A LOT of artwork is in private collections that by no right should be.

Right, that's what he's arguing too.

I live in country that used to "legally" buy and sell people.

Ok, so... You acknowledge that just because it's legal to trade in something, doesn't mean that it's moral or ethical. So is that also true of culturally-significant artwork?

See why I'm confused as to your argument?

Eh, "Good thing we had dangling pianos to drop on the guy who's been cutting all the cords on our dangling pianos" isn't quite a strong argument for the pro-dangling pianos side

TBH I don't think we have to read these posts as shaming the driver of these cars, necessarily. We could read them as indictments of all the choices we've made as a society that result in poor transit options & large vehicles.

Choices like:

All of these are worthy of critique and fair targets

Reader View Displays Cookie & Privacy Garbage Instead of Article Content in c/firefox@lemmy.ml
[–] mulcahey@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Reader View is working for me with that website. The only issue is that it writes out the phrase "link opens in New tab" after every link.

Do you have cookie settings or extensions that might be interfering with something?

Electric motorcycles for two passengers? in c/evs@lemmy.world

Reading more about this now... Last October it was reported that there's 500 completed Metacycles sitting in a Chinese factory. There's even a pic!

Are they still there? Because I'll go to China right now and buy one for $2500 cash.

Issues w/ fullscreen since last update (lemmy.world)
 

I'm having an issue w/ fullscreen videos since the last update (22 days ago). My computer will enter Suspend mode, even if I make a video fullscreen. This happens when I'm watching Netflix, YouTube, or any other fullscreen video.

This is unusual; In the past, if I made a video fullscreen in Firefox, my computer would stay awake.

I'm wondering if this is related to a bug fix in the latest release: Bug 1853896, which addresses a previous bug in fullscreen video.

  • Is there a way that I can fix this?
  • Or, if not, can I roll Firefox back to an earlier version?

I'm running Firefox 120.0.1 (64 bit) on Linux Lite 5.6 My hardware is an old HP Chromebox connected to a display via HDMI.

Thank you Lemmy folks!

Do electric motorcycles make artificial noise? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm interested in getting an electric motorcycle, but something I've been wondering:

ICE motorcycles can be loud, and that can act as a safety feature, especially when lane splitting. I'm thinking about Los Angeles, where motorcycles regularly weave through bumper-to-bumper car traffic. The noise they make helps prevent riders from getting accidentally doored.

Do electric motorcycles have any kind of artificial noise maker to achieve the same thing? Or does anyone sell a device that does this?

Note that I'm not talking about generic speakers, because

  1. I don't want to have to blast music all the time just for safety, and
  2. most speaker kits are pointed BACK at the driver, not FORWARD towards traffic.

Anyone know the answer?

Minimalist email client for desktop? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm looking for a FOSS email client for desktop. (Windows and MacOS, for now.)

Using Airmail or Mailbird as references, I'm looking for a client with some of these features:

  • A clean, minimalist design
  • A left-side toolbar as a narrow band, icons only.
  • Bonus points if it can schedule an email to send later.

I'm familiar with Thunderbird and there's a lot to like there, but design-wise, it's pretty cluttered, IMHO.

Does anyone know of a FOSS desktop email client that looks clean? -OR- Is there a way to change Thunderbird's layout so it looks/functions more like Airmail or Mailbird?

Thank you!

Beeper makes big privacy claims for its newest app (blog.beeper.com)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by mulcahey@lemmy.world to c/signal@lemmy.ml
5 comments fedilink
 

Tl;Dr: Beeper has rolled out a new app, Beeper Mini, just for iMessage. It claims that the new app is a privacy improvement over the standard Beeper app (now called "Beeper Cloud")

The claims:

All messages are end-to-end encrypted before being sent. Beeper (and Apple) cannot see your messages.

Encryption keys never leave your device.

Beeper Mini connects directly to Apple servers. There is no Mac server relay, like other apps.

No Apple ID is required. Beeper does not have access to your Apple account.

Your contact list never leaves your device.

In another post, Beeper says they plan to add Signal to Beeper Mini.

I currently use Beeper, but I do not give it access to my Signal messages.

If these new claims about Beeper Mini are true, though, and if Signal is ever supported in Beeper Mini.... I might actually consider bringing it in. I would love to have fewer chat apps!

How to use disappearing sidebar with pinned tabs? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm a big user of Tree Style Tabs. And I LOVE using pinned tabs.

Recently, I modified my CSS so that my sidebar will shrink/expand on hover. I really like getting this screen real estate back.

But there's a problem: My pinned tabs keep moving every time the sidebar changes width, causing the entire tab tree to slide up. (GIF) This means I have to hover, wait for the tabs, find the one I want, and finally click on it, rather than - y'know- just mousing over there and clicking.

Is there any way to change this, such that my pinned tabs stay in the "wide" configuration, and are just "revealed" when the sidebar expands?

Thanks Lemmy folks!

A site that shows the video feeds from multiple news channels (lemmy.world)
 

Lots of news channels post their video feed online, for free, legally.

Pulling up each feed is a pain, and I don't actually want to watch all of them: I just want to see, at a glance, what each network/channel/outlet is covering, so I can get a sense of what the big story of the day is.

The feeds would all have to be on mute, obviously.

Some video feeds that could be included:

And these are just streams that are posted legally. If anyone wanted to incorporate pirate streams, we could add a TON.

Alternately: If displaying a ton of live feeds is too taxing on a processor, it could just show a collage of screenshots from each feed, updated every 60 seconds. That would be easier for processing, and it might sidestep any legal issues.

Read-it-later apps that support page-turning? (lemmy.world)
 

I read a lot of articles. In the past, I've used Pocket to access articles on all my devices.

I prefer to read on my e-ink tablet, where scrolling is a pain. So I need a read-it-later app that supports page-turning, the same way an e-book does.

Pocket used to have this feature, but they killed it with their most recent update.

Wallabag has this feature, but I find the Wallabag fonts ugly and unreadable.

Omnivore does not appear to have this feature.

Does anyone use a read-it-later app that supports page-turning?

Thank you!

Best way to auto-import events into Google Calendar? (lemmy.world)
 

The goal: See upcoming events from various NYC venues in one place, possibly my Google Calendar

The problem: Bars and venues all use different sites and apps to manage their event calendars, forcing me to check each venue's website individually. It sucks!

My best guess at a solution: Find a way to convert the venue's websites/calendars to RSS, then use IFTTT to convert the RSS feeds to Google Calendar entries.

  1. Is that the correct solution?
  2. Does anyone know the best way to convert these sites to RSS?

Here are the calendars that I need to convert:

And one newsletter:

These venues already use Google Calendar, so I've successfully imported them:
