It's a remix of "Dom Dom Yes Yes" by Biser King. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/dom-dom-yes-yes-brr-skibidi-dop-dop-dop-dop-yes-yes-yes-yes
Now that you mention it, it does sound familiar. I'm not sure if it's a constructed memory on my part though.
Given that people have done things like spash acid on their former partners' faces and say things like "if I can't have you then no one can" then I'm not terribly surprised that someone might try something like this.
But you're right, in general I don't trust green texts as truth. This could easily just be someone summarizing a story that happened as a green text though (which is a common thing).

I love Little Big and their song Skibidi, but that is not the song used in Skibidi toilet.
Just buy like every house lol. Actually just put in an offer for any house for a 100 mil.
Which is why I differentiated between square roots and the principle square root by saying the square roots instead of the square root on the second comment.
I really like GitHub's high contrast themes. But yeah, that's it. I recently moved my code to Codeberg. Have you tried it? I like GitLab too. That was my go to back when GitHub didn't offer free private repos.
I totally get what you're saying, but wouldn't you rather discuss the content of the article than argue about definitions?
Honestly, just muting the microphone is mostly fine. I really don't believe they transmit shit to the cloud when they're muted. I've heard a lot of people talk about how they answer when they're muted so they're still listening, but they process the "Alexa" (or whatever wake word you use) locally and then send a short buffer of recording along with everything you say following it to the cloud to process. It's likely they just hear that you said the wake word locally and then say "Hey I'm muted" without sending it to the cloud.
I know this answer isn't the most privacy oriented on a privacy community, but I think this option is more reasonable than you'd think.
You mentioned blocking with DNS. You could try setting up Wireshark or something and see if there are any packets from it when you say the wake word while it is muted and how it compares to when you say the wake word when it's unmuted.
Unfortunately the red LED would always be on because it's muted, but you could cover it with opaque tape. Like electric tape.
If you just need one for that, the cheapest Echo Dot model. If you care about a nice Bluetooth speaker aspect then get an Echo. If you wanted a screen for whatever reason then an Echo Show. But Echo Dot is the cheapest model. Oldest version you can get is fine.
Leaving the microphone muted should prevent packets from going to the cloud but I can't find definitive information either way. They process the wake word locally so answering to say "the device is muted" (if they do, mine don't, but I've heard some do) doesn't necessarily imply it's sending anything to the cloud.
The office they worked in is so similar to one I worked in. The scene that sticks out the most was them walking back from lunch and cutting through the ditch to get back quicker.
You can delete a lot of ad related data associated with your accounts if you dig through settings. accounts.google.com is a good starting point.
This part of this blog post has always made me happy and I come back it from time to time. This is regarding the scene in Tron Legacy when one of the characters stops another from hacking. If you'd like to see the scene for context here it is. The time code is when the particular portion is. https://youtu.be/Qeh3E67brBs&t=231
> In addition to visual effects, I was asked to record myself using a unix terminal doing technologically feasible things. I took extra care in babysitting the elements through to final composite to ensure that the content would not be artistically altered beyond that feasibility. I take representing digital culture in film very seriously in lieu of having grown up in a world of very badly researched user interface greeble. I cringed during the part in Hackers (1995) when a screen saver with extruded "equations" is used to signify that the hacker has reached some sort of neural flow or ambiguous destination. I cringed for Swordfish and Jurassic Park as well. I cheered when Trinity in The Matrix used nmap and ssh (and so did you). Then I cringed again when I saw that inevitably, Hollywood had decided that nmap was the thing to use for all its hacker scenes (see Bourne Ultimatum, Die Hard 4, Girl with Dragon Tattoo, The Listening, 13: Game of Death, Battle Royale, Broken Saints, and on and on). In Tron, the hacker was not supposed to be snooping around on a network; he was supposed to kill a process. So we went with posix kill and also had him pipe ps into grep. I also ended up using emacs eshell to make the terminal more l33t. The team was delighted to see my emacs performance -- splitting the editor into nested panes and running different modes. I was tickled that I got emacs into a block buster movie. I actually do use emacs irl, and although I do not subscribe to alt.religion.emacs, I think that's all incredibly relevant to the world of Tron.
OneDrive deleted my files!
Literally. I open up my terminal and try to cd Desktop only to be told that no such file exists. I thought for sure everyone this was happening to was just not reading something correctly and were foolish. Nope! It literally began deleting my files.
> Edit 2: Even once it's done and you have them locally and not "on demand", the Desktop is in ~/OneDrive/Desktop instead of ~/Desktop. See this helpful comment.
It looks like there might be a way to sort of disable Files on Demand but it looks like it won't let me do it until it's done uploading? I'll post updates.
Not to be dramatic, but I'm really going through it. My mouse logitech mouse is suddenly chattering really bad and double clicking everything. Also while Steam refuses to let me disable auto updates for all games in any sort of easy way. And DDG seems intent on only showing me results related to launching games without updating (as opposed to merely disabling auto updates until I launch). The chatter fixer I found for my mouse does not work and the other requires some logitech program to even try to use. (The repo doesn't mention the name.) This is awful. When it rains it pours, I guess. Literally can't even high light this text to wrap it in a spoiler. This is fucking stupid.
Context: My parents have a family plan for Microsoft 365 they added me too and it has 1 TB of storage I can use. I wouldn't have turned it on otherwise.

Learn to use email with git! (Interactive!)
Someone mentioned they don't know how to use email with git. I remembered this cool website.
Everything has admin access, a storytime post
I have no idea how to title this post. Oh well.
A few years back I worked somewhere that had a large breach. Many practices changed in the wake of it. Developers actually had admin access prior to the change which was very nice. In an effort to restrict access but also let folks do their jobs they deployed some tool that would start all programs that "needed" admin access as an admin. This included cmd for the devs. So every time I opened cmd I had to be careful not to break something since there was no way to launch it without admin access after that change.
A 24-hour clock that shows sunrise, sunset, golden hour, and twilight times for your current location. It also shows the current position and phase of the moon, and its rising and setting times.
(I did not make this project.)
I love this website. It helps me visualize time with regards to the sun very well. If I could get my FitBit to display this as a clock face I definitely would. It's such a beautifully simple site.
I'm sharing it in honor of the solstice today. It's (roughly) solar noon on the east coast. I think I found this site on Reddit prior to the Lemmy Exodus, so I'd like to share it here for everyone to enjoy. Happy solstice. Happy summer (or winter for our friends in the southern hemisphere).
Also, based on the community info panel I believe this is on topic here, but if there is a better community for "cool site I found" let me know. ❤️☀️
Case recommendations? Mid/full. Looking for something easy to get in and lift.
I feel like a case can really make or break a build. Or at least your enjoyment of it. My specs are below, but I sort of picked a case at random. I'm looking for suggestions.
My current build has served me since 2010 and it's time to upgrade the CPU, Motherboard, and case. Everything that can be replaced easily has been and it's really showing it's age. I mention this because it's likely the case I pick will be used for the next ten years of my life!
Stuff I care about
- Ease of opening for cleaning/assembling. Part of why I don't clean my current on as much as I should is how annoying it is to open.
- Ease of moving. I'm more interested in handles than weight, but I still don't want something stupidly heavy.
- Size. I'd prefer something a little too big rather than something a little too small. I don't necessarily want a full tower though. As long as I can get in easily and there is some extra room for the next GPU I'll inevitably buy in the next 10 years I'm good.
Stuff I don't care about
- Water cooling. I have zero interest in getting custom water cooling. Too much effort for me.
- Looks. I don't really want some crazy RBG thing, but I also don't specifically need some super minimalist thing either.
- Price. So, obviously I don't want to waste money, but if I need to splurge a little I'm willing to. Within reason.

SD Card fails to format using official SD Card format tool on Windows
I don’t get a very detailed error message but it fails and tells me to try reinserting it. I’ve tried a few times. It fails at different percentages sometimes. Any thoughts or ways to get a more detailed error message? I have Mac and Linux too.

If you fail to pull Gale through the portal, can you recruit him later?
I failed the strength check despite being a paladin and using inspiration. I never saw him again even after getting through nearly all of act 2. I've asked this before, maybe even in this community, but no one gave a concrete answer, likely because the game was still new.

How can I find more literal translations of Spanish words and phrases?
I used to be confused why "mi nombre es" and "me llamo" seemed to both mean "my name is". I read that "me llamo" really means "I am called" but I guess culturally they use "me llamo" in the same way we use "my name is" even though "mi nombre es" is a more literal translation.
I'm asking because there are a lot of phrases I'm learning that I know how to use but am still confused. If I knew the actual literal translation I would feel more comfortable. Things like "my brother likes basketball" being "A mi hermano le gusta el baloncesto" are confusing. The use of el doesn't confuse me, that's just how it is and I can see past it, we just don't say "I like the basketball" in English. But what is the point of "a" at the start? To? To what? To my brother? I sort of understand le. I'm not sure when to use it, I'm developing an intuitive understanding of when to use me/te/le/nos as opposed to yo/tú/él/ella/nosotros but it's still tricky.
So I'm wondering where I can find actually literal translations of these phrases. So many sites seem to use the phrase to mean "translation" (or maybe I'm misunderstanding the term literal translation but I'd think it is as one to one as possible).
OP finds vulnerability where a forum sends you your password in plaintext over email and everyone misses the forest for the trees
This thread is frustrating. Everyone seems more interested in nitpicking the specifics of what OP is saying and are ignoring that a forum sends you your password (not an automatically generated one) in an email on registration.
How can I keep dust out of an unfinished basement? Or at least off of a specific area and table?
I have an unfinished basement. It would be a great place for a workshop but some hobbies don't do well in a dusty environment. Would setting up an air purifier help? Even then I'm concerned it wouldn't get the entire volume of air.
One idea is to just cover the area in a tarp (or something more permanent) while not in use.
I hate to tidy up and will very likely forget even if I don't get lazy and I don't want to have stuff get dusty because it's laying out for a while.
I assume the dust is coming from the rafters when we walk around upstairs but I'm not certain.
The hobbies are pretty varied. Electronics (like Arduinos), sewing, painting, etc. Nothing crazy like woodworking or metalworking which create their own dust though. The dust is just the normal dust you see in basements lol.
Reddit's official TikTok account hypocritically showing off MSOutlookit
Everybody is so creative! Search “pcottle github msoutlook” to check it ou. #reddit #github #workhack
MSOutlookit is a "skin" for Reddit that makes it look like Outlook. In case the joke isn't clear it makes it easier to hide Reddit browsing at work from folks looking over your shoulder. http://pcottle.github.io/MSOutlookit/
It's just super disheartening to see Reddit themselves show this off after killing third party apps.
WIP on The Master Master Sword
I bought two foam Master Swords and taped them together and covered it in foam clay. Once it dries I will paint it green like the Zonai goop glue from Tears of the Kingdom.
I was trying to think of something funny to make and I think fusing two Master Swords is the best thing.
Where the hell do you recruit Gale if you fail to yank him from the portal?
I feel like I'm losing my damn mind. I would've reloaded (or literally restarted the entire game) if I realized how much content a single damn skill check less than 30 minutes in would make me miss by failing. I feel like I've been nearly everywhere in Act 1. Where the fuck is he? Did I miss him? I'm like 30 hours in now. I don't want to restart the game.
