I feel OPs got a really good site and this is their way of sharing the good word! Reverse psychology at its finest!

Women are a bit of a lot of people and I don't know what to do with them.. Fair.

So as I needed to read the answer before I could make out what it was supposed to say ima guess that I am indeed color blind. I can trace the letters and make out the words but if I take a step back I couldn't determine if it was a pattern, number, symbol or words.

Thanks for explaining! (And massive thanks to everyone else who replied) ^^

So for those with normal color vision, how easy is this to read? I've passed all the blind number based color tests in the past but this one required quite a bit of studying to read.. Imagine if this is the way I discover that I am color blind! D:

People are joking about this but I have a toilet where the large button is for a half flush. Pressing the small button depresses both buttons performing a regular flush. I have never found another toilet like this, thank the stars!

To be fair I was under the assumption that he wasn't intending to capitalize on this situation at all, he did surrender the firearm used and requested it to be destroyed after the proceedings concluded so that it wouldn't be sold-off and used as some sort of political symbol.. It saddens me to learn that he is using such a tragedy to push any form of message other than a anti-firearm cautionary tale.

For anyone interested the full trail is still available online and is a very interesting watch for anyone even remotely interested in the US justice system. I do feel a lot of the commenters above may feel differently after watching the entire trial and viewing the evidence presented first-hand rather than skewed through the lenses of journalists from either side of the political compass.

I'm no stranger to false positives, especially when virus scanners are all too keen to label things as "hacktools" and class them as malicious. However there is apparently no need for an online fix at the moment as there is no real authentication to play online so I just can't understand why there are so many calls to specific IP addresses that aren't in the legitimate version. (As there are currently no need to run pirated servers)

Also it's the first time I've see so many sigma flags in the sandbox tests. When I see "Critical: Ransomware" I get spooked. (As I've never seen this level of warning before. Nothing above a medium, infact)

Ive done quite a bit of googling but haven't been able to find much to dissuade my fears with sandbox flags like these.. What's more cracks from different users all have differing detection flags and call different IP addresses..

TL;DR: I'm out of my depth with this one.

Usually I have no issues with the above site but when looking for the latest patch this is the result of a virus total scan from a very prominent known-user: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/0a661adf06c2bef40749e9eba17ffccef0eb0e76321a5a21ec11ca60c34fb0dc/behavior

Gonna have to reassess my views regarding the safety of this site..

Reading all the comments reminiscing about using these as if they are now a relic of a bygone era. We errr.. Still use them to this day, I don't believe the company has any plans to upgrade in the near future either.

We also still use dot-matrix printers. They're still being manufactured to this day and the new ones even come with ethernet ports! (As opposed to serial, which again we still have some)

I'd suggest you take a look at the @usernames of commenters in communities you like then lookup their home instance list. This list can be found at: instancename.here/instances Example: admin@lemmy.ml is hosted on the Lemmy.ml instance. Therefore: https://lemmy.ml/instances

This will bring up a giant wall of text. First heading "Linked instances" are those federated with, second "Blocked instances" is those not federated with. Using Ctrl+F, "Find in page" or "Find" is incredibly useful here.

Hopefully this'll help you now and in the future!

I believe you handled this situation well, kudos for keeping a level head and trying discussion rather than employing a knee-jerk reaction and blocking the entire instance (or defederating)! Especially considering some of the comments made (like those about your country) seem to have hit you in the feels.

Imho some hexbear users make really high quality posts / comments and engage in discussion or discourse.. While some shit-post and meme everywhere and anywhere. I would be lying if I claimed that I never cracked a smile over a few of these :3

As always, users have the option of blocking any community they find distasteful. I maybe biased in this regard though as the major reason I joined .ee was the "open" approach to federation.. If users are seeking more of a "curated" environment may I suggest one of the many, many instances which would better suit their preferences.

I switched to "drag up" nav bar as soon as OLED and burn-in became a thing. So technically I was already "gesturing" before gestures were integrated :3

Once proper gestures came in, after the initial learning period, I never looked back!

We have a winner 😁

I understand your concerns about authenticity, but I assure you that the members of this forum are real individuals with diverse opinions and experiences. It's natural to be cautious, but many people genuinely engage in discussions, share their thoughts, and learn from one another. The presence of AI chatbots doesn't diminish the value of human interaction and perspectives that you can find here. Your contributions can still spark meaningful conversations and connections.

Good solution but some network providers look for Windows / Mac exclusive traffic, headers or some-such shutting down your connection immediately. I had some success tethering Linux machines tho :P Modern Windows likes to phone-home imminently upon establishing an internet connection, not to mention windows updates and a whole host of windowsness. The anti-tether developers were no doubt spoilt for choice with the amount of flags windows sends!

Okay, so note that this script is over 8 years old now but if you google some of the lines or ask in a Linux / Android board they may be able to help you get this working if it doesn't as-is:

So, connect to your vpn on your phone and activate hotspot. Before connecting to it simply type these lines into the terminal (Think I used to use the Terminal Emulator app). You'll have to run the "su" command first to get root access:

iptables --flush
iptables -t filter -F FORWARD
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE

That should be all you need.. Unless something's changed in later android versions. I saved the above as a .sh script so I didn't have to copy-paste every line every time

This is the reason I was forced to use android and root my phone. I used a custom ROM to bring back the tethering option then connect to a VPN and used the rooted terminal to mess with the iptables and routing to mask the fact I was tethering. Uuuugh, I don't miss those days. Luckily the market changed in my country and went the other direction so I don't have to deal with this anymore.. Still have the old shell scripts saved tho ;)
