That’s to guarantee you have to try plugging the USB cable in in all four available orientations before it fits.

More importantly, what cool pythons^[1] do people have that they can share (pictures of)?

Reading in my head certainly takes the same amount of time as reading out loud (occasionally with different voices for characters, as somebody else said).

If I read without doing that it’s a lot quicker but it doesn’t go in and I have to re-read it. My mind starts chatting away about something else rather than concentrating on the book.

I have prosopagnosia (facial blindness) too. Unless it’s somebody I know really well, I will struggle to recognise them - especially if they are not where I’d expect them to be, or they’ve done something with their hair. I’m better with voices - if they speak I’ll usually work out who they are straight away.

There was a bit of discussion about this on a podcast I listen to (Adrift) earlier in the year.

My mind is basically me taking to myself. As I write this I’m speaking all the words in my head. As I read it back I’m reading all the words in my head.

I believe there’s a school of thought that you shouldn’t read the words to yourself when you are reading, bit I have to do that otherwise it doesn’t go in. I can read a page without the words being spoken in my head but I will then have no idea what any of the page said, v and have to re-read it. Same if my mind wanders while reading - anything I read whilst my internal voice is talking about something else will not go in.

I can’t shut it up. If I think about nothing, my internal voice will literally be saying “I need to think about nothing. I should empty my mind. How do you think about nothing?”.

I’m in England and my language is set to English, yet for some reason when I was browsing AliExpress a few weeks ago it was stuck in German and I couldn’t see how to change it. Go to the homepage - German. Click on a result from a search engine - German.

I don’t know where it got that from, it wasn’t the IP either as from a computer on the same address it was fine.

I’m not aware of anything, maybe there’s something in the Lemmy config? Is federation generally working?

Yes you can.

See W. Reginald Bray

Yucata - online boardgames, take your turn when you can, no pressure.

Yeah, little words aren’t supposed to be capitalised, but I’m never quite sure which ones to leave off so usually I just capitalise everything.

I used to enjoy a Twitter account which was mirrors for sale! Subscribed. (Glad you mentioned it actually, as I missed it when I scanned through the list)

Maybe Stract?

It’s open source and has its own search index.

I got a tree from my local library, but that wasn’t to borrow and neither was it a regular service.

I have one running in [email protected] as otherwise there would be nothing in it other than the odd article I’d post manually. The idea is that I will remove it if the community grows enough that the bot is just adding noise. At the moment there’s minimal engagement, but I find it useful as I see the local news rather than looking for it elsewhere and having to post it.

I don’t think there’s space - there’s IQ above where the E would go.

Looks like a V.

There’s an L next to a triple the other side - ALE could go there.

Yes, the sweat keeps you cool and the smell attracts others with different immune system.

You need to put the domain user in the local administrators group. Easiest way to do this is through the Computer Management MMC snap-in.

It’ll give full admin rights over the local computer though - You can’t just give admin rights to one program AFAIK.
