Funny. My experience was the exact opposite. Maybe it was bad defaults which I never managed to fix, but I could never get two apps to use sound at the same time, which meant until Pulse became the standard and fixed everything, it was always constant battles between aRts, ESD, and apps that used neither.

I’m a little teapot, short and stout.

How would it be different from this list?

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog

Go ahead and look.

Votes here are public knowledge.

Yup. After 9/11 for a while it seemed every week or two the news would report that “The leader of Al Qaeda” had just been killed or captured. Not a false statement, yet it happened again the next week.

… That’s actually possible that it made your friend² understand 3D. They would have manually turned the movie into a Wigglegram and I’ve read of people who finally ‘got it’ after seeing those.

It is cute when they curl up into a ball.

Yup. With an animal.

I call it Cinematography: The Movie

And yet I didn’t remember the plot at all until reading that page. I just remembered the two main characters and the main setting.

At least 6 makes sense

If we are going that route:

Royal Danish Orchestra: The orchestra traces its origins back to 1448

In pop culture since the late 1940s, but the idea of disc shaped spacecraft is older. (Source)

When I first started using Linux over 20 years ago, I did try Gnome. Then went back to KDE immediately.

From what I have read in those 20+ years, the design philosophy hasn’t changed.

Basically just host a blog and on it say outrageous things about something obscure (such as yourself) and wait for it to be picked up.

He kissed her again - I’m not sure, is this before or after learning who she is?

My Lemmy client shows a page summary (guess it’s in the header or something):

I found a way to make AI tell you lies – and I’m not the only one.

My immediate response is: Yes of course, just ask it questions.

The actual article is interesting though. They mean poisoning the data it scrapes intentionally and super easily.

Did you actually read the link? They address this in a big red box:

Update: Google has not “backed down” from developer verification

Contrary to a vague mention of a possible “advanced flow” that may eventually allow “experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn’t verified”, Google’s description of the program continues to state plainly that:

Starting in September 2026, Android will require all apps to be registered by verified developers in order to be installed on certified Android devices

Until such time that they have shown evidence that it will be possible to bypass the verification process without undue friction, we must believe what is stated on their official page: that all apps from non-registered developers will be blocked once their lock-down goes into effect.

Looks like studies are inconclusive on that and even when they show an effect it is a small increase of a low base rate. Also your proposed mechanism doesn’t make sense because the increase if it exists is for prostate cancer, not testicular.
