Deebster , 4 days ago (edited 4 days ago) to Cocktails, the libationary art! in Punch - Most searched cocktails of June

Ah, so this is the most popular cocktails on punchdrink.com - I thought the title was saying party punch was the most popular!

Edit: I think it's top-rated, not most searched:

these are the recipes you deemed best this month

They're all more obscure than what I'd expect to see on a populist list.

Deebster , 13 days ago to World News in N.Y. couple finds safe filled with over $130K while magnet fishing in lake.

At first I thought it was another safe with even more money, and I was wondering if I should get a magnet.

Deebster , 15 days ago to Technology in Here's what's happening to ad blockers in Google Chrome (and other browsers)

That performance cost seems to be negligible in uBlock Origin and other popular ad blockers that have focused on optimization [...], but there were probably other extensions not doing that well.

The article goes out of its way to not do what you're accusing it of. I don't understand how you've managed to read the article as having the opposite slant as what it actually does.

Deebster , 1 month ago to Technology in Winamp has announced that it is opening up its source code to enable collaborative development of its legendary player for Windows

In Foobar2000, Shpeck allows you to run those old Winamp vis plugins - I have Milkdrop 2.2 with all those old classics. They still look great on modern tech!

I've been building my music collection since I was ripping CDs by hitting play, recording in Win95 Sound Recorder and running the .wav through LAME (nowadays EAC to flac, of course). I see no need to pay a subscription to listen to my music, when I can just use that same money to buy and own the albums* and not worry about them disappearing.

* also means more money goes to the artist

Also Navidrome + Symfonium means I can still stream to my phone so the only benefit Spotify etc has is new music, but YouTube (+ uBlock) gives me that.

Do you also attack dictionaries for explaining offensive words? The person I'm talking to never used the term, they merely explained the meaning behind the number.

What you are doing is shooting the messenger. Please target your outrage more carefully in future.

Deebster , 1 month ago to World News in "Portal" Between Dublin and NYC Shut Down After OnlyFans Model Flashes It

Yeah, it's probably shooting the messenger. Reminds me of once on Reddit where someone had asked a similar question and I'd replied with a sourced quote from the dictionary and got complaining replies and downvotes.

Thanks for explaining it, not sure why you've collected those downvotes.

Deebster , 1 month ago to Android in Thunderbird for Android / K-9 Mail: April 2024 Progress Report - The Thunderbird Blog

I missed the news that K-9 was becoming Thunderbird for Android. I used to use it before switching to FairEmail, I think because development had stalled. It's a solid choice, hopefully they don't add too much in like they have with the desktop version.

CNLabelContactRelationYoungerCousinMothersSiblingsSonOrFathersSistersSon

The label for the contact’s mother’s sibling’s younger son or father’s sister’s younger son.

I thought it was just a male cousin, but it doesn't include a cousin who's your uncle's son. Which culture needs this?

Deebster , 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago) to Technology in „If companies were to do the right thing, they would lose the most valuable customers on earth, preteen kids”

Maybe his analysis considered this, but the article doesn't mention real-world factors like the climate crisis, the cost of living crisis, and what feels like the resurgence of fascism and the spectre of World War 3. It's noted that liberal families seem more susceptible - perhaps it's because right-wing families are more likely to believe these things aren't real, or aren't a problem?

Deebster , 2 months ago to Technology in Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling

You're missing Windows 2000, but I guess you can argue that's Windows NT not mainline Windows. That was definitely in the good camp, and I was not alone in sticking with it for many years (until XP got good).

Edit: I see @NickwithaC beat me to this point.

Mbin seems like a healthy project, and the only sensible move from kbin.
