Raltoid@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What computer life hacks are your most used?English4·9 days ago-
Double clicking with the mouse on a word usually selects the whole word with the space after, very nice for copy-pasting.

Double clicking on the selected word will sometimes select the whole line(In some applications it actually selects up to the newline marker, so it will grab multiple lines if resized smaller).

Raltoid@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Japan island residents sleepless after experiencing 900 earthquakes in two weeksEnglish3·11 days agoMy favorite part is how people in the public eye who present end-of-days predictions always have some weird excuse after the fact. As was beautifully parodied in Parks and Rec.
In this case there have been impersonators, and the original author has no connection to a lot of the newer stuff. She is not trying to cash in or play things up, which is a wonderful contrast to a lot of people who claim to be doomsday predictors.
Raltoid@lemmy.worldto Linux@lemmy.ml•According to Pornhub data (yes seriously!) Linux market share in 2024 increased more than 40% relative to 5.1% of all users.English1·11 days agoBased on the drop in Safari usage on mobile and desktop, and the increase in Firefox and Opera usage. I’m sort of assuming they swapped over to use the builtin VPN in opera or an extension in Firefox to bypass the blocks.
Raltoid@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Scientists identify culprit behind biggest-ever U.S. honey bee die-offEnglish9·11 days agoThe varroa mite has been blamed for years. It’s been a growing issue for decades. And scientists found out in the 80s and 90s that you can use formic acid to treat for them, instead of any commercial miticide.
Raltoid@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Japan island residents sleepless after experiencing 900 earthquakes in two weeksEnglish46·11 days agoA 1999 comic book by manga artist Ryo Tatsuki has been fuelling these rumours. In a new edition released in 2021, she claimed the next big earthquake would strike on 5 July this year.
It’s called “The Future I Saw”, with diary entries and is “based on a dream”. One of the covers had a big disaster happening in 2011. That’s the year Fukushima was hit with a tsunami.
A lot of superstition has arisen around it, causing tourism to drop off recently. And flights from Hong Kong to Japan have been massively reduced, and one airline even halted their flights there as of a week ago.
Kevin Sorbo
can go f— himself.
The great part is that Lucy Lawless/Xena agrees with you.
The masons and other specialized workers were paid, and there is a theory that many of the laborers living near Giza were paid, but no one actually knows if they were. What is known, is that slaves were used in that era, and thinking they weren’t at least used in transportation of materials is naive.
Fun fact: Bees actually make round holes, the hexagon shape forms as the wax dries.
It’s worth it if you can view it with the mindset that it’s intentionally silly/“camp”. For a very basic comparison: It’s in a similar style to shows like Buffy or Charmed, just more self-aware.
Although it has to be said: It was technically a spinoff from Hercules, and there are crossover episodes. But that show is not nearly as good, for a multitude of reasons. And it got to the point where Kevin Sorbo(Hercules) is still salty about how a lot of the crew went over to Xena. He has even accused Lucy Lawless on social media of “stealing” crew from his show. To which she just laughs and mocks him, like she regularly does when he says stupid things.
Raltoid@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Video shows federal agents blast their way into Huntington Park home English20·15 days agoThat’s why they go to Huntington Park, not South Central. Same reason they arrest cancer stricken children in courthouses instead of dangerous criminals. Because they’re cowardly bullies who don’t want anyone fighting back. And the one time they tried going into lower income immigrant community, they were chased out by the locals.
People who talk like that have only seen pictures from the show, or they watched it a little bit when they were a child and don’t remember 99%.
Because Xena and Gabrielle did pretty much everything except the physical deeds. And it was recently confirmed in a comic, where they kiss and say they love eachother.
Hell, you could probably show them the old show with the parts set in modern times and they’d blow their gasket. Becase the reincarnations are the opposite genders for a while.
Raltoid@lemmy.worldto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Languages with upper and lower case letters should just pick oneEnglish1·16 days agoIt’s a “joke”(aka. troll) post, as evidenced by their replies.
Raltoid@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The BBC is launching a paywall in the USEnglish15·17 days agoPaywall it for short term gain, at the expense of long term viewership growth.
Making a company worse for increased short term revenue, at the cost of customer retention, product quality, etc. causing increased turnover which further compounds all the other steps. Is a common issue among all modern companies.
In short, there was a shift in MBA education a while back that includes a bunch of lies-by-omission and misrepresented data. Meaning that the only thing on their mind when they graduate, is to please investors at any all costs, including company longevity.
Raltoid@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Critical hurricane forecast tool abruptly terminatedEnglish48·17 days agoFucking why.
Because it will cause major issues, people will demand a replacement, and a private company owned by someone who bribed Trump will swoop in and “save” everyone with a subpar solution that is worse and cost more.
Raltoid@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Can an American go to Europe just for cheaper healthcare?English161·18 days agoYes. Europeans themselves also travel to other European countries for cheaper healthcare. To the point where there is an actual medical tourism industry.
For example, there’s a town of 35k people in Hungary that has over 300 dental clinics, because it’s close to the Austrian border and is about half the cost or less.

Raltoid@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•The Army’s not sure what its new ‘Executive Innovation Corps’ will actually doEnglish14·18 days agoIt literally just sounds like a department for nepo hires and fake promotions.
Raltoid@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump is not interested in listening to US experts on Iran’s nuclear programEnglish13·20 days agoAnyone who thought he would, should contact Adult Protective Services and ask about how to aquire a caregiver. Because they don’t have the mental capabilities to function in society on their own.
Yeah it’s not the best, but it can be pretty effective since it evaporates at hive temperatures and disperses.
The point is that the commercial miticides are far from the only option that works, and that they’ve known about the issue for decades.
