vacuumfountain@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do radio stations all seem to go on commercial at the same time?English441·10 months agoSome breaks are mandated by the FCC for station identification. These “Hard Breaks” are at the same time on all stations.
vacuumfountain@startrek.websiteto Privacy@lemmy.ml•I got this notification when browsing Stackoverflow on Firefox...English12·1 year agoI’m lost on this. What is the connection between Stack Overflow and Copilot? From the outside, that’s just the notification that Microsoft is pushing to all windows users, regardless of what they’re doing.

vacuumfountain@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What singer just blows your mind when they sing?English5·2 years agoIt’s fun to watch someone’s reaction to hearing the scream from The Grudge for the first time. In-fucking-sane.
vacuumfountain@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it possible to import a list of sub Reddits to Lemmy?2·2 years agoAs @twistedtxb@lemmy.world said, not really. You can go to sub.rehab and import your subreddits, though! That’s how I found more communities.
vacuumfountain@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what movie/show made you think "WTF did I just watch?"2·2 years agoSeriously. That’s a show where I could only do one or two at a time.
vacuumfountain@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Simon Ateba, the reporter making himself the story at the White House9·2 years agoAfter reading that, I really wonder what the process is to get credentialed. How did he get in? I went to the website, and I only found three authors on a quick scan of the different sections: Simon Ateba, Femi Adesina, and Noah Pitcher. Femi Adesina works for the President of Nigeria as well, and focuses on Nigerian politics. Noah Pitcher works for Kevin McCarthy (the Current Speaker of the US House), but his stories focus on West Africa as well.
The website looks busy but polished on the main page, but sloppy work becomes apparent quickly. They can’t seem to decide on whether or not they’re capitalizing links. The banner across the top is a straight rip of the New York Post. If you try to look up Adesina or Pitcher’s work, a few stories load but the “Loading” at the bottom never goes away. In the links at the bottom, they still have a “Test Page 2” Link! There’s also a strange subheading under the Health and Business Sections. Upon looking it up, it’s the beginning of a quote from Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther which leads me to believe it was a placeholder from their website builder that they never replaced or erased.
This certainly seems like a low-budget mouthpiece for a certain political view.
I’ve found myself switching to New because of the much smaller community size. I’d like to participate more than I have in other places. If I wasn’t doing that, I’d use Active to see what others are saying.

vacuumfountain@startrek.websiteto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: Reddit will only *pretend* to honor your edit request if you've made another edit within a few seconds before this one2·2 years agoYeah, it seems like an anti-spam measure. I remember that accounts would get all of their comments overwritten if they were compromised, and this would help that.
vacuumfountain@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are you guys doing when there's multiple communities for the same thing across instances?1·2 years agoI’ve been joining all of them. I might pare down if I need to at some point, but I want to try to catch all the discussion on a topic.
vacuumfountain@startrek.websiteto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's quite handy that ice floats for summer drinks1·2 years agoIt’s even more important than your drink! The fact that I’ve floats is what allows ice to act as an insulator on top of frozen lakes and oceans. If it sank, liquid water would take its place and freeze. After a while the whole body of water would be frozen.
I think we should go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.
