321·1 day agoLol, enjoy the upvote.
But that would be a trident, no?

Android@lemmy.world•Is it possible to set in Android for an app to open a specific type of links (Youtube)English
31·1 day agoHave you tried Grayjay? It’s supposed to support using your account.
Alternatively there are a couple browsers specifically for making a website behave like an app: Hermit and Native Alpha.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Who's receiving and who's losing electrons?English
1·24 hours agoAnd the messed up thing is they both are pronounced opposite to the spelling.
You’d think “loose” would have the longer O sound, but “lose” does. 🤦

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a chance America one day will elect a Progressive? Or will we keep going the elder dipshit route?English
32·4 days agoExactly.
People asking this question have their own definition, which is why “isms” are tools to drive wedges between people.
Additionally, focusing on the president is excusing congress from doing their fucking job.
For the last 30/40 years they’ve basically sat back and said “let the president do whatever - he’ll take the heat and not us”.
So for OP - there are 500 assholes in Congress not doing their fucking job, so maybe focus on getting your rep/senator out and someone in who will do their job.
Until the apathy of congress changes, nothing will change.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can I still bypass Microsoft account creation when reinstalling windows through the "reset this PC" option?English
137·4 days agoMint requires running a terminal command to disable the stupid printer notification.
It also doesn’t support Logitech mice out of the box, you have to search for the solution, which is a third party app to support a 10 year old (or brand new) mouse.
Stop acting like it’s a direct swap and people will be less hesitant to switch.
Be open and honest that not everything is an easy transition, there will be hiccups, and there may be some things for which an easy solution simply doesn’t exist.
If you use Excel every day, switching is likely not pragmatic, as the OSS solutions simply don’t compare yet and will always fall short if you use tables (about 90% of the spreadsheets I’ve ever been sent).
Also, did you even listen to OP? Linux isn’t an option. Wow.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Sent this to my friends flexing a "top 65%" score. The site didn't make it clear that's not a good thing.English
23·4 days agoRecount numbers forward and backwards?
WTF does that have to do with intelligence? That’s just memorization.
As someone with zero short term (working) memory, I’d fail that part, yet people are always astounded at what I remember (and I work with crazy complex systems).
What a crock.
(I typically test just over 100 on IQ tests - not a brag, just more to show how useless they are).

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How would I even start an investigation into my states use of marijuana money? How to keep it covert with gathering alot of info? And find freinds in power to help me out.English
12·8 days agoWhat?
You ask a rep. Or simply go look at your states budget.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It must be frustrating for someone to be born into a royal family but being unable to succeed the crown because they were the second child... or be the first child but they were female...English
3·9 days agoReally depends on the era.
Today second-born gets all the benefits (or most anyway) without having to really be responsible for anything.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What is the point of abbreviations for short words when they do not reduce times significantly when you type?English
2·12 days agoSmartphones have been a thing since at least 2006 (actually earlier), and commonplace since at least 2010.
I haven’t seen a T9 phone since then.

Small platforms are excluded today
