I go outside and roll around in the grass with my dogs. There’s no enshittification outside.

Years ago, in the distant past, a youth with no learning, I set out to figure out a way to scare off the crows on my father’s land.

I put up some sticks, but that didn’t work.

Eventually I figured out that fleshing out that skeletal figure worked better. I gave that figure some more depth and dimensionality.

I propped up that skeletal figure, put some clothes on him and stuffed him full of straw. He did good. He scared off the crows.

He was my straw man. He was good at his job. How good is your straw man?

I got a new phone, with all the same accounts, but cannot restore my previous lifetime purchases from sync. I'm not sure how to rectify it.

Edit: I’m pretty sure that I made a mistake here, in that I tried to use my main credentials to sign in and transfer, but I actually bought the lifetime on a different account. The likelihood that I confused myself with my paranoia is likely high.

Of course.

Indeed. It’s confusing why that didn’t work. It’s literally the same login I have used for over 20 years.

I have not tried that. I’m too old and tired to futz around with that kind thing anymore.

Oh dear lord, I don’t think it warrants a ping for him. I am perfectly willing to just buy it again, but it’s a bit of a curiousity as to why I can’t sync it. I’m a software developer, and given all that I know, just transferring my creds over to a new phone shouldn’t break any links. The exact same credentials on different hardware shouldn’t matter.

I have multiple accounts on varying services, so it’s possible I’m missing something amongst the chaos.

Ad free. Was that a one time per device thing? I bought it the day it was released for the Lemmy version.

Wish stackoverflow. Since they embraced enshittification I think this is the right place to post this.

The Himalayas are indeed the highest mountains in the world.

Damn, that’s really an offensive shirt but also somehow kinda funny at the same time.

That’s because Oregon is just an awful state and no one should ever move here. Just… go elsewhere. Please.

Obscure screw added so appliance cannot be disassembled (lemmy.world)

Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn’t rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn’t unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

I’m very much for the idea that if you are not causing harm to others, and it’s just something you choose to do with another consenting adult, go for it. However, that is not true for incest where a child can be produced, as there is demonstrable evidence that it will harm the child and any of that child’s children. So if there is no possibility of a child being produced then I honestly don’t give a shit what messy bits get shoved into each other in someone else’s house.

I actually appreciate some details of Star Trek: Discovery

At first, when I watched it, I thought it was absolutely ridiculous that Starfleet engineers built spark and flame generators into the Discovery’s bridge, but thinking about it, given that you have inertial dampers and other things that minimize or completely eliminate the physical feeling you would receive from the ship...
