Deb package app shows sponsor ad at first start up - Lemmy.world
I mentioned this in a post here several weeks back, but couldn’t remember which
app installed from a .deb package had displayed an ad when I first started it.
Looking for a new to-do app today I came across it again and, as requested, am
sharing this since I can now name the app (and now I’m uninstalling it again).
The app is [WeekToDo(https://weektodo.me/ [https://weektodo.me/]). On the first
start it flashed a brief banner for a different app called “SnapClear” -
apparently an AI powered image cropping app that is also listed as one of
WeekToDo’s sponsors, on the WeekToDo website. I started it again to see if it
would continue to display ads but on the second start it did not. So I can’t say
if it would continue to do so in the future as I won’t be using it.

Thinking about getting onto wife’s Steam account, but right now I’m pretty stuck
on sandbox games. What are you enjoying right now?
Cheap hair spray as a defense against yellowjackets

Cheap hair spray as a defense against yellowjackets - Lemmy.world
Tried this once before in my life, and since then always kept a can of cheap old
hair spray around to spray at yellow jackets and their kin. No one uses it in my
family. I bought it for a buck several years back just for surprise
stinging-flying-insect attacks. Nontoxic. Won’t hurt you or the kids or the
pets. The yellow jacket / wasp / etc. just fall from the sky with their wings
coated in goo. Just got to use it again this afternoon. I had one that decided
my outdoor storage area belonged to it now, and we had a tussle over it. Me and
an old can of Aqua Net won in the end.
What exactly is considered "vanilla" Minecraft?

What exactly is considered "vanilla" Minecraft? - Lemmy.world
I see “Vanilla Minecraft” referred to a lot, but it seems to have different
definitions here and there. Is it just Minecraft without data packs, resource
backs, etc? So, like, “out of the box”? Or is it really something else?
Why does Invidious pull "googlevideo.com" script?

Why does Invidious pull "googlevideo.com" script? - Lemmy.world
I use the NoScript extension so I can pick and choose what javascript runs on my
browser, and that’s how I noticed this. When I open a link in any Invidious
instance, in addition to the instance’s script it also wants to load a script
for “googlevideo.com [http://googlevideo.com]” (see pic, if I attached it
correctly). The video does not load unless googlevideo.com
[http://googlevideo.com] is flagged as “trusted” for NoScript. However, loading
the same video in any Piped instance only loads the piped instance’s script.
NoScript doesn’t note any additional script. What’s going on here? Is this a
problem? For a sample comparison, here’s the same YT (“Chickens Play Football
With Corn on the Cob”, 47 seconds) in an Invidious and a Piped instance:

Why are chicken wings so popular?

Why are chicken wings so popular? - Lemmy.world
I’m not normally a chicken wing eater, but I hear about others liking them.
Thought I’d get some at the store the other day, but they were $3.99 a pound
while drumsticks were only $1.99 a pound. For you chicken wing enthusiasts - why
would chicken wings be worth the $2 more a pound? What are you doing with them?
Talk me out of the drumsticks I bought instead.
Is a Mac more than a big iPhone? (Serious post)

Is a Mac more than a big iPhone? (Serious post) - Lemmy.world
So, I have an iPhone, which I like, but we use Windows and Linux computers in
our household. I’d never seen a Mac boot up until the other day after a friend
gave me their old Mac Mini. I was excited to check it out, got it all set up and
logged in – but it really just seemed like a giant iPhone regarding what it did
and could do (meaning, I would just stick with Windows and Linux for our
computing needs, rather than swap over to the Mac). I was disappointed. What am
I missing?

The Truth About the Electronics Refurbishing Industry - Lemmy.world
Interesting take on buying “refurbished” electronics these days. Is it still
worth it in general, versus buying new and just keeping it forever?

Microphone Jammers Promise Better Privacy, But How Do They Work? - Lemmy.world
I love this idea. I dream of being able to do more than just lock all my devices
in a bottom drawer, buried in towels.
A Guide to Mojeek Operators - Lemmy.world
I use the Mojeek search engine at times, though I still get more/better results
most of the time using SearXNG. Mojeek is still getting better all the time.
Anyone else using it?
