My character makes a sandwich. I reach for the peanut butter…

As you mentioned elsewhere it’s encrypted.

Take a look at /etc/crypttab and creating and adding a key file that can unlock the drive.

Essentially your additional SSD will have both a password and a file containing a password that can unlock the drive. When you unlock your root filesystem (I’m guessing at boot) it will then have the key file that can unlock the SSD.

Something like cryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/pathtossd --new-keyfile /etc/newpassword

Systemd might make this easier to setup nowadays.

Edit: Also, yes, the password to unlock your SSD is just sitting in a file in your root drive. Be sure to restrict it to only be readable by root.

It’s because a cosmetics company is selling a product.

If someone follows/responds/interacts with a cosmetics company, there is no confusion about what you’re interacting with. Even if you disagree with the cosmetics industry as a whole, there is no question who you are talking to. If Scarlett Johansson posts something about herself on the cosmetics page, you should never be confused that you’re talking to an ad.

But if Scarlett Johansson has an Instagram page and that page talks about the new Jurassic Park film, now you view Scarlett Johansson as an ad. And I get that, no one wants to see themselves as an ad. Don’t get me wrong she’ll do a press tour, but that’s someone else being the ad.

Oh I completely agree. There is a reason it took me a while and careful observation before I figured it out.

I assume it’s part of, or started as, a little password dance. Something like, “abc123DEF”.

Or maybe it just comes from the idea that only a single key can be pressed at a time?

Either way I completely agree, insane.

I agree, but it’s more common than you’d think.

I used to work at an organization that used Chromebooks, which replaces the caps lock key with a search key (same shape, different behaviour). I was surprised at the number of people who struggled with their passwords because they would hit the “search” key, enter a single letter, and then hit “search” again. It took me a little while to figure it out because… Who does that?

Honestly I think it’s jealousy of television. Films were viewed as the highest form of entertainment. The people you mentioned are the best in their fields and they make films. Unfortunately films are only 90-120 minutes. So I’m sure they’ve had to sacrifice story over the years to fit that time limit. Of course over in television land, especially modern television, you get hours to tell your story.

One season of a TV show, or even a miniseries, is easily 10 hours. You can tell a great story in 10 hours. If you’ve written a great story, you hate cutting that down to 90-120 minutes. So the films get longer. Now you’ve got 3 hour films. Realistically these folks would probably make amazing miniseries. But that’s television. They are filmmakers.

It’s Joe Biden, he’s using her iPad.

I’m willing to discuss UI/UX issues but that top comment is just stupid.

The first complaint is that “lemmy.world” shouldn’t exist, because websites should be dot com. That’s not a UI/UX issue, that’s just ignorance. As we all know Bluesky has also failed to pickup any users due to its URL bsky.app, you obviously can’t have a dot app website!

The second argument is worth looking at, but it’s unclear based on their comment what went wrong. If you go to Reddit and search for Brazil/Brasil do you just magically find every community you’re looking for? I doubt it. Discovery can and should be improved but this person found an instance before a community?

As a quick test, 300 words of “Lorem Ipsum” compresses down to about 900 bytes (using gzip).

So I’ve got about 300 or so words worth of storage, probably more of I get clever.

Now I can’t natively decode gzip, but the header is unique enough that I’ll figure out how to decode it pretty quickly.

That’s more than enough to explain to myself what’s going on, what I’ve tried and anything else I’d want to know.

If we add other people then that’s basically infinite storage.

no links to other movies

Except that giant Celestial in the ocean.

to continuing plot for the MCU.

And whatever that Celestial is made of…

I do hope The Leader & Ross make a return in future films. Sidewinder (Giancarlo) was also wasted, so hopefully he returns.

I wouldn’t call it forgettable, there are some fun action scenes in the film, both at the Celestial and The White House/surrounding area.

However just action with a rushed story does make it a weaker film overall.

Honestly I’m a little impressed. I hate it, but I respect it. (Also George please.)

I look in the mirror every morning and yell at that fucking idiot who uses Lemmy. It’s my favorite time of the day. :)

It’s like a repost, but it lets you add your own post to it and shows the original post as a quote bubble.

So like this?

Or like this?

There don’t seem to be parallels to most of the communities I belonged to on Reddit.

One adjustment I had to make when I moved over to Lemmy is posting/commenting more. On Reddit most of the time your comment was buried. On Lemmy, a bunch of people are going to see it.

Not saying you need to be the only poster, but sometimes everyone just posting a bit more will reveal a community.

I’m in Europe, where american football isn’t a thing

In 2024, three NFL games were played in London, one in Germany. In 2025 scheduled games include the same plus a game in Madrid and Dublin.

So it is “a thing”, but not caring about it is understandable.

I agree it was expected but it’s important that it happened.

I’ve always assumed Meta’s investment in Threads’s ActivityPub compatibility was purely to show the EU, “Hey look, we’re trying to follow the open standard.”

For that reason I’ve believed that giving Meta a VERY short leash was reasonable. While I believed them to be full of shit, I think extending an olive branch and allowing them to be part of the Fediverse at large was a worthwhile effort.

They have however put almost no effort into being a good part of the Fediverse. They’ve implemented minor features and sharing, just enough to say " technically we’re working on it."

Now we can see them directly blocking. Now maybe in a few days they’ll say “whoopsie”, but I think this clearly shows they truly have no interest or intention of being part of the Fediverse.

I’m not surprised by this. I fully expected this. But I was willing to give them a chance. Maybe they didn’t deserve that chance. I think they’ve certainly forfeited it now.

At the time (and possibly still) Dell was promoting laptops with Ubuntu preinstalled. These laptops also avoided the “Windows Tax” and were ~$50-$100 cheaper.

*The “Windows Tax” being that Windows cost money. Most companies just built the cost of Windows into their product with no (easy) method of not purchasing Windows. So if you bought a $800 laptop, you actually bought a $700 laptop plus a Window license, even if you never planned on using Windows.

Also worth adding, since this story was big many years ago, when the college was contacted they were fine with her laptop. They had no requirement that she use Wimdows.

I just don’t see this happening.

The DCU, based solely on the Superman trailer but I’ll include Creature Commandos is a weird unrealistic place. Matt Reeves Batman is a serious realistic place.

You could have a world where Batman describes his youth, and in that world he describes events similar to Matt Reeves Batman. A world where he first fought against the Joker, then later Riddler, then met up with Catwoman, and how he tangled with Carmine Falcon and The Penguin. That’s possible. But we’ve got to live in a world where Harley Quinn is mostly canon and coming from the Joker we met in Matt Reeves Batman it just isn’t likely. That Joker has to change, A LOT, or we need a second Joker (terrible Folie Duex callback).

The Earth Superman lives on is FAAAAAAAAR removed from the Earth Matt Reeves Batman lives on. Maybe there is a crazy event that occurs, but it’s not worth trying to force them together.

I really enjoyed the film. I wasn’t aware how close he was with Robin Williams, it was great seeing their relationship.
