So, do you pronounce the full name, “lesbian”, or do you shorten it to “les” or something?
Good old rock. Nothing beats rock.
If an app gives me more than a couple of unwanted notifications that I can’t easily disable, it’s uninstalled. Fuck that shit.

cpw@lemmy.cato memes@lemmy.world•Make this thread look like it's your first day on the internet14·7 months agoOpen terminal on BBC micro to mainframe in university campus, ftp to ftp.funet.fi, patiently wait for 6 hours while a single jpeg of (hopefully!) Cindy Crawford in her skivvies downloads to mainframe. Then download using zmodem for another hour to local computer. Save on floppy, back to dorm room, to find out it’s corrupted. 😂👍

I can’t remember exactly now, but it wasn’t super expensive. Saw the last? live performance of the stone roses after their brief reunion. Also saw the weddos that day, by far the most fun. The smosh pit for it was amazing.
Knebworth was kinda legendary in the 70s and 80s, lots of huge bands did a “festival” there on occasion. And yeah, 1996 Oasis was by far their tiptop peak. Weirdly I actually saw Oasis once before, they were touring small(ish) pub venues a few weeks before cigarettes and alcohol was released, at the Cambridge boat race. Quite the show. They played a bunch of songs that’d be on definitely maybe.
cpw@lemmy.cato Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Trying to contact them, in order to confirm that they deleted my account and not only closed it, will create a new accountEnglish16·7 months agoHopefully there’s a useful website under the ad spam. I need to install an ad blocker on this mobile Lemmy app 🤔
cpw@lemmy.cato Videos@lemmy.world•What Ticketmaster Doesn't Want You To Know: Concerts Were Cheap For Decades31·7 months agoI paid £22.50 for my Knebworth ticket to see Oasis in 1996. Beer was expensive but the lines were so long that two or three was all that was feasible. Instead I got stoned off my face and zoned out on a little hill behind the vip area. It was amazing but I was so smashed that my memory is fuzzy. Ah well. My sister just paid over £1000 for four tickets to oasis. I think I got a rather better deal than her.
It’s how tubby custard is made.
cpw@lemmy.cato politics @lemmy.world•Dipshits At Washington Free Beacon Just Wondering Why Harris Left Mickey D’s Off Her Professional Resume9·8 months agoSo I should include the 4 Saturdays I worked as a 6’2 tall Kid Vid (the short lived burger king mascot) in 1993 in Crawley Town centre (and scared a lot of kids because I was WAY TOO TALL - the costume was designed for a 5’4 girl), because it’s relevant experience to my 30 year career in it consultancy. Gotcha
I took what came out of the box, very much factory default here. My offspring are figuring it out at the minute, Imma let them cook.
Price decreases are actually negative inflation and have all sorts of whacked out effects on an economy. It was a concern during COVID due to the huge drop in consumer spending forcing some prices to start to decrease.
No idea. It was working great until this morning.
Probably some sort of trolling effort sadly. Like an as yet unaired bit for a tv show.
And this is the fifth line of four…
cpw@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Researchers discover potentially catastrophic exploit present in AMD chips for decadesEnglish111·8 months agoI’ll bet the Intel management engine is just as “vulnerable”. The only context this is likely a concern is large scale corpo deployments, without verified supply chains to the source. Love how the security researcher handwaves that there’s “plenty of existing exploits” that can be used to install the exploit into the SMM, without giving any suggestions of how.
cpw@lemmy.cato Linux@lemmy.ml•XPipe 10 comes with web service port-forwarding, markdown notes, better proxmox support, a new HTTP API, and more1·9 months agoFair enough. But the fact I can’t even use it to connect to my homelab proxmox cluster kinda has to be a dealbreaker for me. Even a trial period to allow me to try and experience everything would be sufficient in my opinion. On the fuzzy thing, I’m using gnome desktop, with latest gnome shell in debian sid, on an Nvidia 20280 using the proprietary driver (latest in debian experimental). It’s connected to three 2k/1440p monitors running at 144/60/60hz. If that helps at all. The tooltips are most notably fuzzy. It looks like it’s being antialiased multiple times or something?
It’s an absolute calamity here. My four haven’t stopped reminding me for the last 30 minutes. They still have 30 minutes to wait. They will wait.
