The metal on that light switch would be live any time the other light switch (on the other end of the red traveller wire) is turned on.

If that box is metal, it would make the metal brackets of the other switches live as well, and assuming one of the other switches is properly wired, it would just go back to the panel on the ground wire.

I think that would either complete the circuit and the device would turn on, or it would ground the circuit and pop the breaker. The same would likely happen with this switch as well considering the ground is wired on the hot terminal.

I'm also not an electrician so this is a full-on guess.

This is great for the cat-and-mouse situation.

I know a lot of people use Plex because of the number of apps on various platforms. The renewed life in these apps will be at least one less reason for people holding off on Jellyfin.

Honestly, this is just the way it should be. Searching is fundamentally different than trying to access a website.

I love trying to search for something like "node.js" but can't because it thinks it's a website...

The comments of that tweet are nothing but "Signal is full of huge design flaws"

Right, because "add user to group" is a design flaw.

In addition to the ones already mentioned, there is another one for contributing called Every Door

The battery pack in the Hummer EV is the size of 3 other EV batteries combined.

You could have 3 regular EVs or 1 Hummer.

Starting from 1 year being 365 days

1 month would be the equivalent of 3.65 days
1 day would be 52.5 minutes
1 hour would be 31.5 seconds
1 minute would be 0.3 seconds
1 second would be 3 milliseconds
1 millisecond would be 3 nanoseconds

Too bad Saturn's visually right beside the sun at this time.

Yes, there was Teams (classic) and Teams (new. There's also Outlook (new) and Outlook (classic).

There was the Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch, it even said they were getting rid of Shipping Tool, but then they got rid of Snip & Sketch instead but the function of Snipping Tools is the same as Snip & Sketch.

This is not to be confused with the application called "OneNote", that's staying.

You can always trust Microsoft to make two version of the same application and to have really bad naming.

At 7:30 in the video, it's shown that 6% are in favour of annexing Canada using political and economic pressure, and only 2% in favour of using military force.

This?

In hindsight, I wrote that line after seeing some code on Github that I thought was for ActivityPub, but when I went back to it later I realised it was for Mastodon.

It's a bit confusing because each action on the Fediverse uses the same universal language, but each service translates that language into their own specific rolls for their service.

Lemmy upvotes use "Like" which is common language in ActivityPub but down votes use "Dislike" which is not* also used in the ActivityPub language. It's up to the other services how they interpret that. Mastodon favourites use "Like" but it has nothing for "Dislike". Mastodon boost uses "Announce" which is what Lemmy uses for posts and comments to a community.

There are also some actions that use the ActivityPub language on both services but one simply just doesn't send that action to the other service. Mastodon users can follow Lemmy users but Lemmy users cannot follow any users. I think Mbin does allow following users.

From the Lemmy ActivityPub documentation

An upvote for a post or comment send an ActivityPub Like action

Users can send posts or comments to a community which the community forwards to its followers in the form of Announce.

From the Mastodon ActivityPub Documentation

ActivityPub Like is transformed into a Favourite.

ActivityPub Announce is transformed into a boost on a status

Flair Airlines has a tendancy to just stop flying out of certain airports for various reasons. As much as I'd like this to be a "buy Canadian" trend it could just be as simple as they think the airport fees are too high.

I would love a more generic name

Considering the general userbase is very open-source focused, we should promote FOSS alternatives. Instead, we could call it GimpBattles. Then people would know we mean business. /s

On a serious note, I understand that familiarity is important and helps with users that are migrating over here but I have always felt it's the perfect opportunity to do away with some of the dumb subreddit names (all the ___Porn names, like EarthPorn)

Lemmy is not reddit, that's the point of Lemmy.

Only problem is, because of our languages laws, the back side is just the same label but in the other language.

Spinning a bottle?

I had to get someone to find a wireless keyboard they left in a random box because they never used it, yet they still connected the USB receiver for it.
