Back in the day, the trick was when you owe the customer, say, 78 cents, you short them a quarter and only give them 53 cents. You still take that quarter out of the till, you just hold it with your pinkie so the cameras cant see it while you hand the rest of the change to the customer. If they notice they got shorted, you just say “oh sorry” and reopen the till to hand them the quarter thats still in your pinkie. But if they dont notice, you just made a quarter. This relies on you being able to memorise who youve shorted and not short the same person multiple times without a long time in between, because then people start to get sus

If that came out it seems like it would kill the idea of federated servers running lemmy

I thought Lemmy was open source? So we would definitely know if shadowbanning was a thing?

Besides that, anyone who runs their own instance would definitely know about shadow banning if it were an option, yeah?

Bruh what even is this comment? Huawei makes sense, but what’s your deal with android? The whole point of android is that it’s customizable, if you want privacy there are more than enough options.

I’m paying this comment from a 20$ Walmart phone

I mean not reading about it doesn’t make it go away. Advising people to ignore politics that directly effect your life is… not a great strategy.

If a male gets grossed out by the idea of wearing pink, that’s toxic masculinity. It’s ok to have preferences, like I don’t like the color pink" but to be actively repulsed by it shows you have a fear of being emasculated. You have a fear that you might be seen as “not a manly man”

Other examples include being repulsed by rainbows, being afraid of showing your feelings/crying, being afraid of gay people, etc.

Good thing to have are: being willing to have a discussion without trying to “win”, get angry or disregard the other person’s opinion. Having women friends that you aren’t trying to fuck. Having hobbies that are fun, and that you’re willing to talk about because they make you excited, without trying to monetize them.

Avoid toxic masculinity lol

I feel like I saw a d100 composed of equilateral triangles. Is there an algorithm that determines whether a shape can be composed of equalateral triangles? I’d ask for a proof but I fucking hate proofs.

Wait, that’s not normal?

I can’t think of a single time in the last decade where someone has called my name without me responding “that’s not my name tss tss”

Yeah connect automatically saves a draft of any comment you make but don’t post

Yeah, they made a nest in the gravel left behind from a torn down building near where I live. I found the nest because as I was walking ~40 feet away one of them started going nuts. I never would’ve noticed the nest had they not called my attention to it :/

It was fun watching the baby birds emerge though, I thought the rain had drowned them for a while.

I believe the first building here was contracted around 1920-40

Take your thumb and put it just above the joint(towards the top of your finger)

Now take your pointer finger and rest it under the first joint of your thumb. The tip of your pointer finger should just about be at the webbing between your thumb and other pointer finger. You should now have a finger on either side of the “thumb bone” and on opposite ends.

Gently apply pressure with your holding thumb downwards. Not the thumb that is being held. It should have about a half centimeter of wiggle room before it pops.

You can also pop the last joint in your thumb by cradling it similarly, titling it 90° from the rest of the thumb, and pulling away from the hand. This technique works on every finger tip.

Youtube Google search results have been garbage for a while now :(

To add onto this, jdownloader has that feature too. It’s a download manager, so no torrents, but you can plug a link and it will crawl for downloadable files. Also, if your Internet is spotty, it autocontinues downloads that fail. It’s easily the most useful tool on my PC.

Ah, I didn’t realize that my Lemmy account is tied to my actual name, address, phone number, and all of my irl friends. I also didn’t realize that my Lemmy account has thousands of photos of me for deep fakes, and that the government can at any time request all of that for next to no reason. Thanks for enlightening me!

It was a reference to Wardenclyffe

Do you by chance have an interest in generating wireless power?
