I can't seem to find the setting. Is it not available for Firefox for Android (Fenix), do you know?

Ive read the first few so far. The next book on my list looks to be a full length novel.

I find your reference of "her humans" is interesting. I never thought of muderbot as a her. Perhaps I missed an important line somewhere in the story?

I think your review is right on. You captured exactly what it's like. I look forward to reading the next book.

To add to others, wind also is generated when a rain "microburst" occurs.This happens frequently in the southwest U.S.

A microburst is when a very large amount of water is dropped out of the clouds. The gaining rain speed pushes the air below it out of the way. The air is pushed outward horizontal to the ground, which in essence is a massive wall of wind.

Often in the Sonoron desert a microburst causes the wind to push a lot of dirt from the ground surface to be blown out with the wind. When this happens it's called a haboob. The wall of thick dust and particles can be up to a mile high and as wide as a city.

Below is a link to an image of a haboob over Phoenix, Arizona.

Very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to contribute your knowledge. I appreciate it.

Not if they are regulated to put an "In Full or in Part AI Generated" label on it.

I think we're there. The future is today.

Bingo. This is exactly the issue for me. The militant and intolerant attitudes and name calling. It's deeply disappointing.

[–] JoeClu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And this is exactly what s/he's talking about. The whole name calling thing if someone has a differing viewpoint. It's militant and intolerant. I'm just so sick of this kind of attitude here, I'm close to ditching Lemmy because of it.

 

I recently installed Linux Mint Cinammon on an old laptop to try it out. The Title bar on windows is too tall for me preferences. I poked around in settings but couldn't find a way to make the title bar shorter. Is this not possible or is there some CLI-fu config to force it?

 

I tried acode, quickedit, markor, squircle CE, and numerous others.

Isn't this like a basic thing, to sort?

 

Remove Save Settings button; just save them when user presses the back button. Easier. User doesn't have to remember to press Save Settings. Do it automatically. You can even add a cancel button if user doesn't want to save changes.

Been hearing a little about Nostr. Apparently it's a protocol?

How did it differ from fediverse stuff like ActivityPub protocol?

What is the community size or population of Nostr users compared to Lemmy or Mastodon?

Do you use it?

 

Here is my embarrassing list.

I see many 4.5 to 5 star fantasy books. I get excited and read about them only to find out they are really just "romance" or smut type books. Grrr.

I really wish these romance novels would separate themselves from the fantasy genre. It wastes my time seeking out highly rated fantasy books only to find out they are actually romance books.

I wish I could block the romance and smut books when searching for fantasy novels.

It's disappointing that these romance novels are masquerading as fantasy novels. I do understand these romance novels really are, for the most part, fantasy, but I wish I wish there were a separate category either for the romance fantasy or for the traditional non-romance fantasy novels so I could block them in my searches. I've no interest in romance at all.

 

Anyone been watching this? I wasn't interested but wife asked me to watch with her. It's actually pretty good.

I like the narration; it's beautifully poetic.
