If you’ve come across the short story Guts at some point, it’s apparently part of the book Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. I haven’t read the whole book so not sure what the other stories are like but this story is really trying to be both gross and fucked up.
I looked it up again when writing this comment and even though most reviews are negative they do make it sound pretty interesting. I’ve put it in a maaaybe list.
When was “originally”? Lyric availability is the main reason I chose spotify over YouTube music. If it’s not included in the free plan then you can’t compare that and won’t pick spotify.
Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....
I use GrapheneOS ony phone and a Mac with the security options as optimized as possible. For most of my emailing etc, I use Tuta and Proton. There are instances however, where having a Google account is beneficial (some apps for example won’t download from Aurora store in anonymous mode)....
Last time I opened a new Google account ~2019 I noticed if you did it from some countries it didn’t ask for a phone number (even on a vpn). I remember Greece and Romania being two of them. It’s been a while since then but it’s worth a try. But you also had to receive an email within a few a hours otherwise it asked for a verification. This was all through trial and error so take it with a grain of salt of course.
I feel like I’m encountering weird little tics and problems with my android devices, and those of family and friends. Just simple things where settings don’t seem to be consistently applied, or the os switches something back repeatedly. For example, my apps are set to auto update, to use data as well as WiFi, etc, but every...
I don’t know if it’s increasingly. Auto update has never worked consistently for me on any android device. It also seems most people have an issue with at least one messaging app not getting notifications. It’s just with the changes in each version things break slightly differently every time.
I’ve been using VMware Player (free version) for a while now and it’s been working fine. Recently I switched to Wayland and VMware’s grab input behavior broke. The guest gets most keys correctly but Alt and Super are intercepted by the host. Clicking on the vm also gives me a remote desktop popup on the host prompting to...
If you don’t need many features it’s easier to quickly set up and create a vm than VirtualBox. Well until now anyway. I haven’t tried the other alternatives mentioned here, they might be better in that aspect too.
I’ve only used ChatGPT and it’s mostly good for language-related tasks. I use it for finding tip-of-my-tongue words or completing/paraphrasing sentences. Basically fancy autocorrect. It’s also good at debugging stuff sometimes when the language itself doesn’t give useful errors (looking at you sql). Other than that, any time I’ve asked for factual information it’s been wrong in some way or simply not helpful.
I’d say anything up to a third floor is ok, you just get used to it. I’m only on the first but my walk to the supermarket does include a ~2 floor staircase and don’t think that much of it anymore. It still feels awkward when you get something big delivered and wonder if they’ll bring it up the stairs though.
When posting from Lemmy in my profile I can look for all of my posts but when I reply to a comment from, let’s say, a Mastodon account is not shown as my post because it was created from another account. Is there any way to link my accounts, at least in Lemmy, to show that all posts from a different account belong to the same...
It also seems like mastodon follows a “named” culture while lemmy an anonymous/pseudonymous culture. Similar to twitter and reddit. It doesn’t feel right to mix those
I go to my inbox. I click messages. Then I click the plus icon. It asks me for a user. I input the user and nothing happens. Then I search and find the user again nothing happens. Why can’t I send messages in Lemmy?
Using Eternity and can confirm, I have the same behavior. But when going to the user’s profile there is an option on the three dots menu to send a private message which seems to work (but I didn’t click send).
I tried a couple of times to find certain audiobooks, but seldomly had luck. There just does not seem to be a place that sells digital versions of audiobooks, similar to how bandcamp sells music....
