Agree. For things like semantic versioning, in which “1.20.1” and “1.2.1” are two different things, you want to pronounce them “one point twenty point one” and “one point two point one”, respectively. But that is a bit of an outlier. File size should be pronounced “normally”, because “1.20” and “1.2” are the same value.

The most incorrect pronunciation i can come up with is probably ken-TAH-oo-ur

Add support for the Proteus Byowave controller

That sure looks like an interesting device, but I cannot imagine that being worth the €300 for anyone. I would expect that even someone who really needs a far-from-standard controller for accessibility reasons could find a better (albeit less reconfigurable) option to suit their needs.

Yeah, I cannot find it documented anywhere. Which is probably on purpose, to avoid malicious actors finding out ways to bypass it. But you can find plenty of users on Reddit and whatnot complaining about how they are not getting registration emails for whatever services in their new Proton email accounts, then it suddenly works just fine when they try again ten days later.

Is your Proton account new? I believe Proton automatically filters out verification emails like that until the account reaches a certain age. As a means of restricting users from creating an anonymous throwaway Proton account to use just to sign up for another service to abuse it. Verification emails will not appear in your spam/junk/deleted folder or anything. You will just not receive them in any way at all. I am not sure how many days it takes for that restriction to be automatically lifted.

Is there even a reason they exist? Like, is it actually important to a biologist or something to say “herd of cows” instead of “group of cows”?

Is this shape not rather impractical? It may be more difficult to accidentally knock over, but you would also need to tip it back to a somewhat extreme angle in order to get everything out of it.

Theft Detection Lock uses AI, your device’s motion sensors, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth to detect if someone unexpectedly takes your device and runs away. If Theft Detection Lock detects your device is taken from you, it automatically locks your device’s screen to protect its content. For example, if someone grabs the phone out of your hand and they run, bike, or drive away, the Theft Detection Lock may activate.

I presume it waits for an abrupt spike in the accelerometer followed by going out of range of nearby Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth connections. I am curious how well it works, and how often false positives occur.

I am also disappointed that it seems GrapheneOS does not offer a similar feature.

in qBittorrent: Tools > Options > Advanced > Network Interface. That dropdown box should list things like your Wi-Fi connection, Ethernet connection, etc., including an option that sounds like your VPN provider. If you run into troubles, do an Internet search for “qbittorrent network interface” for various articles and guides.

I have found that I always use proper punctuation in informal communication except for a period at the end of a message. If the last sentence is a question or exclamation, I’ll use a question mark or exclamation point. But if it technically requires a period: usually nothing.

Then again, I am in my forties or fifties

Its only a matter of time

Who decided that all SciFi has to be dystopian, brooding, militaristic, or horror?

The Battlestar Galactica reboot caused an awful trend. Other studios clamored to try to recreate its success.

Didn’t they lift the PSN account requirement on PC just a few days ago?

Just on four particular games

Regarding the post title: Lemmy itself allows you to block communities, instances, and users. But it does not support filtering by keyword, e.g. filtering out any post with the word “platypus” in the title regardless of where it was posted or by whom. With help from the comments below, here are some third party Lemmy clients that have their own implementation of keyword filtering:

• Boost
• Connect
• Eternity
• Interstellar
• Raccoon
• Summit
• Sync
• Tesseract
• Thunder
• Voyager

Do NOT support keyword filtering:

• Alexandrite
• Jerboa
• Lemmy UI
• mlmym
• Next
• Photon
• Quiblr
