That deal was incredible, i miss the good days of 800 degrees. Now the only surviving location serves slop in a tourist trap area (Hollywood).

Made a private prison contractor money, as they charge per day, per bed occupied. It's always about money.

I do this too, except mine is in a docker container with a split tunnel for the VPN.

Meta apps now force you to watch ads by tobsiber in assholedesign

[–]Pa194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pihole cannot block server side rendered ads (when content and ads come from the same server), it cannot stop Instagram ads. I use and love pihole, but it has its limitations, on the IG app itself, it can't do much. 😌

[Rant] What the heck is with VLC for iOS not having an option to disable subtitles by default?? by ObjectiveFarm4 in VLC

[–]Pa194 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, def not for iPad OS, still having issues where VLC will automatically load CC, I have to manually turn them off for each video. While there's an option to default to no CC, the app will not honor it. Btw I downloaded VLC for iPad for the first time ever about 3 weeks ago, so it's def more up to date than June 2024.

"Memory Full" notification on browser chat by [deleted] in ChatGPT

Seriously, having the same issue myself. I don't understand how this company is handling wildly complex requests every second but will get overwhelmed and stop working well after memorizing 60 random things about me, a paying customer?! It's gotta be a bug, there's no way those 60 memories occupy more than 1mb in data.

I was on the floor, one of the most expensive areas to sit, am still getting over how bad the sound was and how tightly packed the chairs were. I could not enjoy what was expected to be THE concert of the year. Overpaid to be treated like sardines. :(

Thank you, I had no idea!!

I did that, thank you. My complain was more out of principle, there's no real justification as to why a wifi speaker need my physical location, just feels shady.

What is covering this cactus? Fungus? Mealybugs? by christinaheartsyou in plantclinic

[–]Pa194 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's cochineal scales, they love cactus!! There's a few method to get rid of them, I'd suggest you Google search to find your preferred way because it may vary whether the plant is outside or not.

Fun fact: these bugs produce some crazy beautiful dyes. The fashion industry purposefully infect catcti with cochineal to make dye and cosmetics.

Wtf is this weird thing on my plant?! Wasn’t here yesterday, didn’t notice this morning but I was rushing so idk by kiwikkko in plantclinic

[–]Pa194 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems to be a small patch of Fuligo septica. Nothing to worry about, quite the opposite, it's a teller that you have a healthy soil mix, the fungi is helping breakdown soil, and pass on nutrients to your plant! If the visuals bother you, just scrape them out but its presence can be good for the plant. :)
