kaidenshi@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Mozilla is shutting down Pocket, their read-it-later and content discovery app, and Fakespot, their browser extension that analyzes the authenticity of online product reviews.English91·1 month agoIt’s not just that it was useless to some people, it was a genuine security risk. OpenBSD’s port of Firefox has it disabled by default, and LibreWolf strips it out of the browser entirely.
kaidenshi@lemmy.worldto Free Video Game Giveaways@feddit.uk•[GOG via Prime] *Thief Gold*, stealth classic from 1998English8·2 months agoOr just buy it direct from GOG. It’s so cheap it’s almost free, it supports a really great European company, and leaves Amazon out of the picture entirely.
I feel old. Linux didn’t exist when I was 10 years old, Linus was still in high school at that point. My home computer was a TRS-80 CoCo 2.
kaidenshi@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Why Are Micro Center Flash Drives So Slow?English2·3 months agoMy daily use USB drive is a Transcend 256GB ESD310, it supports 10Gbps speeds and has been rock solid for me. Technically it’s an SSD and not just a “flash drive”. I use it both for portable storage and as a boot disk via Ventoy. It has USB-A on one side and USB-C on the other, both are 10Gbps.
kaidenshi@lemmy.worldto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•I'm 5'7" with size 15 feet. Shoe shopping is a nightmare.2·4 months agoSame here, 6’4" and size 12 or 13 US depending on how they are made. I have a hard time finding shoes that fit well, I seriously feel for OP.
My cousin is 6’8" with size 15, he also has a hard time finding good shoes as well as other clothes.
kaidenshi@lemmy.worldto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand111·5 months agoUnihertz specializes in small phones. They aren’t flagship spec but they are midrange at sensible prices. They also have keyboard phones and even a phone with a built in DMR radio for Amateur and GMRS use.
Not a plug, I don’t even own one I just love that they are daring to be different.
kaidenshi@lemmy.worldto AskUSA@discuss.online•What is the most unrealistic depiction of the USA you've ever seen in movies or TV shows? Can be your town, state or the country as a wholeEnglish161·5 months agoIn the 90s show “Twin Peaks” the intro showed a sign saying “population 52,201”, but in the show itself everyone in town knew each other and the town itself was the size of a small village, with one diner, a few cops, and no infrastructure apart from the logging industry. It would have been more realistic to have the sign say the population was in the hundreds or maybe 1000 at most.
Source: I grew up in a small town with a population of about 1100 people and it was several times larger than Twin Peaks in area, and even with that small number of people it was rare to bump into more than a couple of acquaintances in a week’s time.
This has been my experience as well. Fedora KDE is easier and more intuitive than Fedora GNOME on my Surface Go 2.
kaidenshi@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a technology that was cooler in its older iterations?5·8 months agoThere’s a company called Unihertz that sells a line of keyboard Android phones similar to the last batch of Blackberry models. I know it’s not slider phones but they are inexpensive.
There is also Planet Computers which makes sliding Qwerty phones but they are expensive.

Click bait headline, bronze doesn’t rust. Yes it is unusually well preserved but it would be more interesting if it had rusted, since that would mean a iron age weapon was found in a bronze age site.
