  • What is your favourite less well known app/software?

  • It's weird how much i like this app.

    It's free / open, solves a problem elegantly, and I use it all the time.

  • Candle.

    It's an android app that uses your display to make a "glow" to light a room rather than using the camera flash like a torch.

    It's in F-Droid.

    Obviously the camera flash is more powerful if you're outside or whatever, but using the display this way is way better inside. That tiny little dazzling pin-prick of light is just... unpleasant.

    With candle you can also set whatever color you like. Red is nice to avoid waking people or ruining night vision.

    I discovered this app when we had twins and waking up to nurse them overnight. Gonna sound weird if you've not been through this but basically they won't really wake up they make a gentle sooky noise, and you put a bottle or boob in their mouth and they suckle while they sleep. If you turn a light on they're gonna wake up which is sub-optimal.

  • pipe pipe

    I've been using this for 6 months or so and it seems a lot more stable than previous iterations.

    Also freetube for linux desktop

    Finally pinchflat for archiving content because IDK how long these apps are going to keep working.

  • Actually bees always die after stinging anything.

    Edit: I get it people, I'm totally wrong about this - 3 people have already told me.

  • Yeah I can't remember the reasoning / evidence but I do remember reading that Cleopatra was unlikely to have been beautiful or "sexy". IIRC it's indeed because she was likely to have congenital deformities due to inbreeding - much like those of Tutankhamen.

    She was extraordinary powerful, well educated, and had a terrifying intellect. Additionally she would have bathed daily which would have been alluring in that era.

    That said, there's no shortage of other powerful Egyptian babes, Nefertiti and Hatshepsut come to mind.

    Edit: Plutarch the Roman historian said something diplomatic like physical beauty is not her most striking feature. Which, when talking about a ruler, is saying she's ugly.

  • I had kids a couple of years ago.

    Before having kids I didn't really have time for "gaming", but I did lounge around watching TV for a few hours before sleep.

    Now with kids it's pretty much the same dynamic, but that few hours down time is interspersed with tending to the kidlets.

  • Judge rules Trump illegally deployed the National Guard in California

    Jump

  • The legal system is just not equipped to deal with the threat implied by Trump.

    In the US it seems like judges are just another executive arm of the government anyway.

    The few actual judges still considering the law just get perpetually paused with appeals and what have you.

  • Trump being a threat to democracy and children in Gaza was the reason to vote for the Dems.

    It's that simple. Everyone told you that.

  • Huh.

    I did actually look at their website but I didn't notice this section. Amongst their manuals this "floating work platform" doesn't get a mention, only their dock.

    All of their manuals basically say "observe local safety regulations".

    Honestly I feel silly looking this up because this whole set up is so absurd. Anyhow, here is western australia's relevant regulation and it says that Elevated Work Platforms should only be used on solid surfaces on pdf page 37:

    Relevant risk control measures when using EWPs should include [...] ensuring the EWP is only used on a solid level surface, unless it is designed for use on rough terrain,

    Therefore, using an EWP on a barge is not an appropriate work safe practice.

  • Oh man. This is just using legal speak to water down my comments. It's lemmy, I'm not on trial.

    The lift is not "likely" on a gimbal. It is balanced on top of a floating thing - that's a statement of fact. If the subject of the statement can rotate around a point like said floating thing then it's a gimbal.

  • Unless something keeps adding energy to the swing, the swing will only get smaller and smaller. If it's swinging too much? Just stand still, don't move and let it stabilize.

    Guy this just isn't true. The people on the top are on a gimbal (?) The further they are from the centre of the base the more weight is on their side and the further they will move from the centre of the base.

    I'm not trying to be derisive or whatever but checking whether you think something is safe isn't really good enough. If that's the company culture then sooner or later some idiot injures themselves unnecessarily because they checked whatever thing and thought it was safe.

    Safety regulations and certifications take the decision of whether something is safe out of your hands.

  • I consider myself an expert in not dying.

    No one with a Height Safety Clearance is going to work from a platform which is not certified for that use.

    It's up to you to prove that this contraption is certified. Spoiler: it's not.

    Anyhow, while I look forward to reading your final witty retort, I'm happy to let you engage in whatever practices you deem to be safe while I do the same. Good day sir.

  • They're also saying that the military is not being used to execute the laws, but rather to protect law enforcement officers

  • I don't really understand. Your statement seems to be the same as the one you're responding to.

    The status quo has changed dramatically, because a bunch of voters were too apathetic to vote for Harris.
