I found that my colleague had stuck it on an i5 today.

Has anybody tried this on ao486 (MiSTer)?

Apparently this is the one thing which is controlled by a single gene, and works as you were taught in school with dominant and recessive traits.

Nothing else does, including the things you were taught like eye and hair colour - they are much more complicated.

Hmm, maybe it's one per ear?!

I missed them, of course.
They are set to return tonight but probably not as good.

Hey, I'll comment here. Are you on the Imaginary Matrix? That's probably a better place for discussion. I can invite you and Fullofballoons if you DM me your usernames.

I like the idea of "BestOfImaginary". We may even be able to run a bot to pick the most upvoted post of the (week/month/whatever). There may need to be some fuzziness to stop the same community being featured constantly. That sounds like a good way of showcasing some content and getting more engagement for the niches.

RATW is ace! I'm constantly shouting, "you haven't got time for that, you're in a race!" at the screen. Pissing about in a national park for two days, what are you doing?!

Mum's shock as sex toy, knickers and lube left near son's grave in Doncaster cemetery ( www.nationalworld.com )

A grieving mum has spoken of her shock after finding a sex toy, knickers and lube dumped near to her son’s grave in a Doncaster cemetery. The woman, who has asked not to be named, says she discovered the items close to headstones in Doncaster’s Rose Hill Cemetery – and decided to remove them to avoid upsetting other...

Depends how many sugars. At least three heaped teaspoons should qualify, two is borderline.

I like how all the other instances have taken it incredibly seriously, and we've basically sent Scooch.

I turned it off after a few seconds because it was in French.

Whats the best Universally usable CRT Monitor for computers all trough the 80s and 90s?

With my little Computer Collection ever growing, I think its time to get myself an actual Monitor to use these Machines. So im wondering, what Monitor has most if not all Connection Types and modes of operation to be compatible with most/ if not all Computer from the 80s till the 90s?...

The Microvitec M1438 is the one I remember always being recommended.

I didn't know I needed this. In fact, I'm still not sure but thanks for posting it!

If you're in the UK (and I suspect you're not, but I post this partly to help out others in a similar situation), the NHS have a "Talking Therapies" service for depression and anxiety. You can self refer so there's no need to get diagnosed by a doctor first.

Thoughts on pinboard's viability?

Been using Marcin's beautifully created bookmark manager since yahoo killed delicious. It was yahoo that bought it right? I digress. Anyway, I've been paying for his service since he mentioned it would be helpful if the old users also contributed BUT the site's downtime has been rough and unpredictable lately. It's just worrying...

I don't know anything about Pinboard, but if you do decide to change you might want to look at the Fediverse enabled Postmarks.

There's also some sort of soft blocking option, which largely hides the instance AIUI but still gives the ability to follow users. This seems like a better option rather than completely defederating.

If Meta want to scrape your data they can do that anyway. All defederation does is stops you looking at their stuff (which, as you say, can be blocked at the user level anyway)

There's also Linen.

The Mistborn Trilogy (start with The Final Empire) by Brandon Sanderson is superb.

After that initial trilogy they are a massive struggle, but the first three are well worth reading.

To be fair, they say the previous books they've enjoyed have been short... Not that they want to read something short this time! But point taken.

I don't think it's shock that photos are edited, I think it's the press being cautious not to post "fake news" and being wary of anything that isn't an original photograph.

In this case it seems pretty obvious that nothing substantial has been changed, but they probably take a hard line on it especially in the age of AI, and just reject anything which looks like it has been manipulated. There are whole departments dedicated to fact checking.

So, I think the news is that Kate is fine and well, and is experimenting with Photoshop maybe with the extra time away from the public eye.

I have, but it's the news agencies which decided to remove this image. I assume the gutter press didn't care.

A bit like the Channel Islands - they use British Pounds but if you try to use them on the mainland they'll not be accepted. Other way round is fine.

Just wanted to say a quick hello to all the other women out there on Lemmy

I've been happily posting away here on two accounts since just before the Great Migration, and have no problem being openly a woman on the internet. Up to and including correcting people who assume I'm a guy, and even occasionally acknowledging the existence of periods....

@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

Hello! Not a woman, but from what I've heard I understand the hiding. Frankly the men that do that sort of thing need a kick up the arse and I will never understand what it's supposed to achieve.

Feddit.uk fundraising launch ( opencollective.com )

When GreatAlbatross and I agreed to become Admins our guiding principle was that this couldn't be a project run and funded by an individual and subjects to their waxing and waning interest. Instead, this had to be a social network run by and for the users. That meant that we needed as much as possible to be open and transparent...
