I refuse to use the Zoom client on my computer and instead use the web client. There might not be 1:1 feature parity, but it’s never been a problem for me with other people.

That’s bs and also reminds me of a joke about two mathematicians at a bar:
longish math joke
Two mathematicians are in a bar. The first one says to the second that the average person knows very little about basic mathematics. The second one disagrees, and claims that most people can cope with a reasonable amount of math.
The first mathematician goes off to the washroom, and in his absence the second calls over the waitress. He tells her that in a few minutes, after his friend has returned, he will call her over and ask her a question. All she has to do is answer one third x cubed.
She repeats “one thir – dex cue”?
He repeats “one third x cubed”.
She says, “one thir dex cuebd”?
Yes, that’s right, he says. So she agrees, and goes off mumbling to herself, “one thir dex cuebd…”.
The first guy returns and the second proposes a bet to prove his point, that most people do know something about basic math. He says he will ask the blonde waitress an integral, and the first laughingly agrees. The second man calls over the waitress and asks “what is the integral of x squared?”.
The waitress says “one third x cubed” and while walking away, turns back and says over her shoulder “plus a constant!”
bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you opt out of the facial scan at the airport?English1·9 天前My take on it is there’s more downside doing the facial scan than opting out. The worst case is the scan can miss-identify you and then you get pulled aside for questioning. The worst case for opting out is raising suspicion with an agent? Sure all the security cameras could be doing facial recognition and come up with false positives, but why add another opportunity to be misidentified by doing the scan?
bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you opt out of the facial scan at the airport?English2·9 天前It also takes longer for the scan. I was with a group and figured I’d hold everyone up so positioned myself last, and it was 2 seconds to hand them my ID. The only way this the scan is more convenient is for people who don’t care to pull out their ID or are too timid to say “no facial”

bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Taking screenshots of everything is no different than elders printing out emails.English4·11 天前There are web browser addons which can change the export to a png, but if all else fails, imagemagick after saving the image takes less time than screenshotting and cropping.
Also in this scene, why was there an empty spot in the grid for the robot to blend into? If it took the place of another robot, what did it do with the remains of the other robot without time. A lot of “don’t think about it too much” in this movie.
bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which actor/actress are you unable to dissociate from one of his/her role?English5·13 天前David Dastmalchian will always be Joker’s thug/Fake Cop from The Dark Knight.
bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some very beautiful and emotional movies? (Preferrably those about very grandiose or profound themes)English3·15 天前Pretty sure this is not the crying OP is looking for
Honestly, regardless of their education and experience, if you have this concern about a person, you should get a new roommate, assuming there’s more to your question than just a hypothetical.
All the time, there are shitty significant others who install a keylogger or screen recorder to monitor their spouse, because they’re fucked up. A lot of the time, they don’t have any technical background, and are the equivalent of script kiddies. They do this because they’re shitty people, not because they have a degree in computer science.
bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Programming@programming.dev•Github has started charging me on the free tier?English7·19 天前Awesome glad that worked out
bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was the saddest/most touching thing you saw on the internet?English2·19 天前Thanks! Happy belated cake day to you too
bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Programming@programming.dev•Github has started charging me on the free tier?English18·19 天前Did you ever adjust your budgets in your settings for your account: https://github.com/settings/billing/budgets
I also have the free account, and I never touched the budgets section. In here, GitHub action budget is set to $0 and has Stop usage enabled.
If these settings are set to $0 and you got charged, then I guess you can open up a case support case, since that seems like a bug.
bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Technology@lemmy.world•Mastodon: New Terms of Service IP clause cannot be terminated or revoked, not even by deleting contentEnglish7·19 天前I think I read somewhere that this would be the default for new instances if they don’t have one of their own. On an existing instance, the server admin would have to remove the existing license which would then load this license. So this could affect more than just mastodon.social.
That being said, since this was brought up, it has been put on pause while it is reevaluated
bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your favorite games that you never see mentioned anywhere?English3·19 天前I have good memories of LAN parties playing a game called DEFCON which is basically the Thermonuclear War game from the 80s movie Wargames. The game itself is fairly basic but was a blast to play with a group and I am a sucker for the retro vector atheistics.

bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate?English32·20 天前Seriously, I’ve had multiple conversations with my BIL where he comes over to me and says something insane, and my response is just “huh okayyy…” and I walk away without saying anything else. I don’t care to be polite anymore.
bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Google Receives Piracy Shield Orders to Block Pirate Sites in Public DNS * TorrentFreak9·21 天前This is the correct answer. The only thing I would add is some devices don’t allow changing the DNS IPs and are hard coded to 8.8.8.8 so Google blocking sites via DNS is still an issue. Of course you could intercept these requests, but with DNS over HTTPS becoming more popular, i would imagine that device manufactures will also start to do certificate pinning as well to prevent people from using their own DNS server.
That’s so mischievous, that would drive someone insane trying to troubleshoot the issue. That being said, I feel like we’re above the idea of creating walled gardens.
There was a good episode of Planet Money where they interviewed some doctors who were trying to get rid of beepers at their hospital. Basically during testing, it was found that when using an app to send messages to doctors, it was almost too simple and non critical messages were being sent to doctors. This was creating a lot of noise and causing them to be overwhelmed and ignoring the notifications on the phone. It seemed as though the clunkyness of paging someone was a feature so that doctors on call were actually getting relevant information.
