  • Americans, when did you first become aware that "judgement" is spelt "judgment"?

    Jump

  • Canadian here. There's nothing wrong with the shortened American spelling of words. They're perfectly understandable and more efficient. We should be doing it with a ton more words with silent letters. Y'all should be more like Canadians and just understand and accept all the spellings and pronunciations.

    That said, I will continue to use my extra u's.

  • I vacuumed up a stink bug a few days ago and now I when I turn on the vacuum the stink comes out

    Jump

  • When I was a kid, my best friend and his siblings took in a "stray" cat and gave it some milk (because cats love milk in cartoons, right?). The cat proceeded to spray shit all over the house including on carpet. To clean it up before their parents got home and found out, they decided to use the vacuum cleaner.

    The next time their mom went to use the vacuum it created an unholy stench that basically made the house unlivable for several days. 100 percent do not recommend.

  • Do you prefer FOSS over proprietary software? How much do you use it?

    Jump

  • To say anything other than FOSS on Lemmy is like self immolation.

    That said, I'm mixed, always have been. I use what works for me. Generally, now, I will look for FOSS first, resort to paid if necessary. I use and contribute to FOSS but there are certain paid, closed, things that just work better for me. The paying part is a little hit or miss, but there are absolutely a couple of pieces of software that I paid for to get support, or features locked out of the free version. And I don't regret it because I use those features regularly, and I am happy to fund the free version for users who can't afford it - especially since I used the free version for years myself and loved it.

    There's a major piece of FOSS that I avoid. It ends up taking over my life trying to get things to work properly and I hate it. It makes me physically uncomfortable thinking about it, and it makes me an outcast here on Lemmy. And I may have to use it again soon and I'm dreading it.

  • TP-Link Tapo C200: Hardcoded Keys, Buffer Overflows and Privacy in the Era of AI Assisted Reverse Engineering

    Jump

  • That sucks. From the article it looks like they are at least writing the firmware, but it's hard to tell.

    I'm curious because I just ordered a couple of C210s to tinker with.

  • Is that true for TP-link? I always thought they were an OEM.

  • Can you please explain the last joke you made that you're sure no one got?

  • Well, just their juice.

  • Regulators were less friendly back then

  • They can do a lot of that now with Recall even if you use Chrome.

    They also want you to use their browser because they want to direct you to bing/copilot and get ad revenue from all of your clicks.

  • They wanted to do that with internet explorer but regulators weren't monopoly-friendly back then.

  • Thanks, I came looking for this clarification.

    LLMs love giving the sidereal day as the length for some reason.

  • The only reference I can find related to that says she was adopted to be part of the French resistance (not by the original artist(s).)

    Mafalda from Argentina looks similar, but again nothing about being a Nazi that I can find.

  • Do you smoke?

  • I think it's more taboo to smoke cigarettes here in Vancouver.
