  • Please don't make a new coin specifically for Lemmy. We're doing just fine without one, thanks.

  • Sideways 0% discounts are very very infuriating, I agree!

  • I'm good with "people" but lemmings seems to be the preferred option.

  • NTA but unwise. As others have mentioned: they'll look into who used those stolen miles and, assuming you gave them your real information, they'll send the heavies stright to your door.

  • That's not stupidity though, that's malice, which is a whole different tub of bananas.

  • I have long believed that the only stupid question is the one that hasn't been asked.

    I feel it's better to ask the question (and feel stupid for a few minutes) than to remain stupid for the rest of my life. :)

  • I nominate this post for Stupid Question That Wasn't Actually Stupid Of The Week

  • The throwaway email providers I personally use are:

    • If I want to receive ongoing messages and have the ability to reset passwords etc: DuckDuckGo
    • If I don't care what happens after the first email: Yopmail
  • Correct.

    In theory, copyright law would protect you.

    In practice, this isn't always enforced across countries' borders.

    If you don't want what you type online to be saved for posterity, don't type it in the first place.

  • I believe this is what's euphemistically called "Non Functional Slack Fill".

    Should be illegal.

  • My own personal line in the sand is what Wikipedia calls "the sixth generation": Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo Gamecube, Sony PS2, Microsoft Xbox. They're "retro" to me. Starting from the seventh generation, there was a noticeable bump in the ability for systems to churn out relatively-realistic graphics, with the PS3 and Xbox 360 leading the way, and the Wii embracing its delightfully-modern cartoony style.

  • Honestly, even as a Windows 11 user, the Films & TV app is the only way I've ever found. You could try youtube-dl but it's unlikely to be able to bypass their DRM even if you can find a direct download link. I'd just go ahead and download it from another source, you already paid for it, you have the right to watch it IMHO.

  • Unfortunately you would need some kind of electronics in the middle. You can get USB "bridged" or "networking" cables, but they aren't regular USB cables.

    However, the electronics could be a smartphone if you have one. Transfer the files from your old laptop to the phone, then to your new laptop.

    Ultimately, networking would be the easiest and fastest way to do it. If you're on Windows, you could use a program such as FastCopy to verify the files on the receiving end.

  • It's already making things hard. Unless you live in a cave (and even if you do, quite probably, IDK) you'll have noticed an increase in the frequency of what's euphemistically called "extreme weather events". These things are bad for us, but even worse for crops, and they're going to keep on getting worse.

  • I have a 256GB one. People say not to go above 128GB, but I just had this one lying around and honestly I've had no issues whatsoever.

    Also I think there's a max of 300 games you can have installed at once.

  • If you have three, you're a donation recipient.

    They don't always remove the old one.

  • I'm pretty sure it's just plain "nor" but I don't know, I ain't no logician.
