How do I make my own internet?
  • This could have been a really interesting question if OP hadn't been so vague. As is, there's too many interpretations to answer. Do they mean the physical connections? The protocols and services like IP, DNS and BGP? The world wide web, with its sites, links and search engines?

    Does OP consider the Dark Web its own internet? Or a large corporate network its own internet? What about self-hosting a huge number of services in your own home?

  • So is this a human doing a great Attenborough impression, AI doing it, or the man himself*?

  • Obey your thirst.
  • I honestly don't know if he meant that as a joke or an advert.

  • Some rows of videos have different padding
  • Their app and website are both atrocious. I've got a rant somewhere on Lemmy about once time it made me scream with impotent rage over the UX experience, and I'm someone comfortable with editing the DOM/scripting to fix the worst of it.

  • Chaos!
  • I'd assumed they believe in reincarnation (or the boring typo explanation), but I like your reason better.

  • That's a hilarious solution.

  • I'm surprised that this is a genuine answer, I was expecting something else with a product name like that.

  • Earbuds
  • Wired headphones are great, and my mouse has a cable too. I might be a dinosaur.

  • Can't follow my own Pixelfed account on Mastodon
  • I can see it from the three medium/small instances I just tried.

    Also, is typigraphy a typo (typi?) or its own thing?

  • Any ideas?
  • This is definitely the common one, even if it is a bit wordier than some others suggested here.

    No idea what the downvotes are about.

  • Ayoo
  • It took me way too long to remember about tails.

  • The quote's a famous monologue from Hamlet.

    About that speech

  • Who/what are racists according to UK protests? Why are they protesting?
  • I think that because you're attributing those views to "the citizenry". I can only go on the words you've used, and you've used a word that describes the whole country's population, not a small minority.

  • Who/what are racists according to UK protests? Why are they protesting?
  • The make-up and mindset of the citizenry doesn't change just because the government changes.

    It's a small minority from the far right rioting, with massive counter-protests. You're trying to say the whole population is rotten based on a few negative examples, which ironically is just what the racists are doing themselves.

  • I wonder what they smell like.
  • Rats definitely can (also for TB), and you can sponsor them to do so: https://apopo.org/

    Magawa was a famous example: https://time.com/6138994/magawa-dies-landmines-cambodia/

  • Are they allowed to put jokes in legal documents like this? (I know it's gone now)

    In the age of AI-spam, I now treat typos in webpages as a good sign

    I used to think typos meant that the author (and/or editor) hadn't checked what they wrote, so the article was likely poor quality and less trustworthy. Now I'm reassured that it's a human behind it and not a glorified word-prediction algorithm.

    PlayStation Plus Games - what to play?

    I've had a subscription to PS Plus for years now but rarely look at the games (I need to get an external drive or be less hesitant to delete stuff).

    What hidden gems are there in the backlog? I have a PS4 by the way, but I think the PS5 is too new to have hidden gems.
