"I woke up and saw this new antivirus system on my desktop and I tried opening kaspersky but it was gone. So I had to look up what happened because I was literally having a mini heart attack that my desktop somehow had a virus which uninstalled kaspersky somehow," one user said.

To make things worse, while some users could uninstall UltraAV using the software’s uninstaller, those who tried removing it using uninstall apps saw it reinstalled after a reboot, causing further concerns about a potential malware infection.

Oh my!

To be honest, although it was dumb, it was also unfortunate. There is no way we will get a hold on viral fake news because there will always be that one unlucky or stupid bastard posting something silly.

Don't eat the pets, people!

As a father, I'd like to hear how well I combine being an emotionally supportive dad while maintaining a demanding job and taking care of cooking, repairs and other stuff at home.

"Under the law, any man who marries a girl under the age of 18 could face at least 15 years in prison and a fine of around $4,000. Parents or those attending such marriage ceremonies could also face fines"

Good news. Remove the coulds and I'm really convinced. I hope they enforce those laws as strict as they can.

Oh come on, stop it with this perpetual culture war.

I didn't even know about these services. It's fascinating they were relevant for about ten years only. What a good read.

"What seems to work best is a carrot-and-stick approach—creating positive reasons to take a bus or to cycle rather than just making driving harder."

I guess this is why we shouldn't only play the "fuck cars" tune but also include melodies like "we love to bike" and "public transport is fun" 😉

Quite on point! But I would get rid of the "all rolled in one" because they'd get the impression it's one app that can do everything.

Something like: "Some parts are like Reddit, others like Twitter or YouTube. And they can all talk to each other."

So greift bei Fleisch und Wurst ein ermäßigter Mehrwertsteuersatz von sieben Prozent. Für Ersatzprodukte werden hingegen 19 Prozent fällig.

Das muss auch endlich mal geändert werden.

Meine bescheidene Meinung: Wenn sich Rubiales glaubhaft entschuldigt hätte und dabei Verständnis für die Unangemessenhkeit gezeigt hätte, würde das Ganze anders rüberkommen.

Aber seine Entschuldigung war ja keine echte. In Prinzip sagte er: Tut mit leid, dass ihr unsere Gepflogenheiten nicht versteht und dass ich das Ganze als Verbandspräsident vor laufenden Kameras gemacht habe.

As reported by Reuters, the lawsuit was filed by Dan Ackerman against Apple, screenwriter Noah Pink, Marv Studios, the Tetris Company, and others. The lawsuit alleges that “Tetris” is “substantially similar in almost all material respects” to his book published in 2016 entitled “The Tetris Effect.”

The lawsuit says:

The movie entitled “Tetris” demonstrated the confiscation of Dan Ackerman’s original work and creation of his book “The Tetris Effect.” Plaintiff Ackerman’s book took a unique approach to writing about the real history of Tetris, as it not only applied the historical record, but also layered his own original research and ingenuity to create a compelling narrative non-fiction book in the style of a Cold War spy thriller. Mr. Ackerman’s literary masterpiece, unlike other articles and writings, dispelled of the emphasis on the actual gameplay and fans, and instead concentrated on the surrounding narrative, action sequences, and adversarial relationship between the players. This was the identical approach Defendants adopted for the Tetris Film, without notable material distinction, but often resonating the exact same feel, tone, approach, and scenes as the book introduced several years prior. As demonstrated herein, it becomes readily apparent that the Tetris film is substantially similar in almost all material respects including specific chapters and pages of said book that were simply adopted from the book to the film, without Plaintiff’s knowledge, authorization, or consent.

Ackerman says that he sent a pre-release copy of “The Tetris Effect” to the Tetris Company in July 2016. CEO Maya Rogers, however, allegedly instructed the company not to “license any of the Tetris intellectual property, such as its name and image, for any motion picture or television project.” (...)

I tried Gimp for a longer time, too, but I could not get used to the complicated layer management, missing layer effects & layer adjustment features. I will try out Affinity.

LAN of Confusion

I had my subreddits neatly organized into different categories with several multis. Is there a feature (planned) in Lemmy that can recreate this?

I activated desktop notifications in my settings: Settings > Show Notifications for New Posts.

They appear as a bubble in MacOs, but I can't do anything with them. There is no link that opens.

Can I do something about that?

I'm trying to search for communities or keywords like on the Lemmy browser version. I'm probably just missing something.
