FIRMware is SOFTware (code) that contains the instructions to run HARDware. In most cases you would experience it, hardware is running an OS (Operating System) which manages all of the firmware ‘packages’. Many electronics, particularly more sophisticated, have firmware that is directly loaded onto the device which has a proprietary OS with limited to no graphical interface.

I am a layperson so if an expert can weigh in on my take I’d appreciate it!

Major Who Framed Roger Rabbit vibes.

As a a died in the wool Lithuanian through band through it gave me a warm feeling seeing this on Lemmy as the Lithuanian subs are not yet populated so this has been a glaring hole in my feed.

For anyone interested there is a winter version simply called ‘Barščiai’ which is also amazing.

Skanaus!

I explained it clearly in another comment on this post.

Lol, perfect timing to learn that tidbit 🤪

Man, I can’t tell you how many times I hit this on accident and was frustrated.

I can live with it but I also won’t be shedding any tears without it.

That was utterly horrifying. I knew the Russians were bad, but to see one of their own still so distraught after so many years.

And to think the Baltics have been warning about this for decades…

And you just know this shit is going to follow him for life. Rich people tend to be smart and have long memories.

Can you imagine walking into Cannes and all of the other rich people point, look, and laugh under their breath?

Or walking past /spez’s 45” Bayliner sniggering about how he thinks he’s made it with his ‘yacht’.

If the pitchforks ever come out I would hate to be in his shoes.

You could always shorten the singular to ‘Lemmi’ or something similar to prevent confusion.

Good point though!

I’ve tried several formats:

xxxxxx (all lower case, no spaces or special characters) xxxxx@lemmy.world !xxxx@lemmy.world

This is illegal and you can file a complaint with the FTC:

I get the impression that the goal is more to have Lemmy fill the hole that Reddit has left rather than duplicating it in some way; Take the good and leave the bad.

Someone shared this website on another post and I thought it was relevant : https://libreddit.hu/

This allows you to browse Reddit without giving it any traffic.

You are a gentleman and a scholar and I salute your efforts!

Thank you for being so generous with your time!

I would agree with you except the actual reviews look really suspicious. They come in blocks of 2-3 next to each other and they are all nonsense. And there’s a fair amount of them.

If this were a highly regarded, honest company I would give them the benefit of the doubt. Having seen numerous examples of their dishonesty in the past month I would say this is par for course.

Only the evidence I put in my comments, all of the recent 5 star reviews have no constructive information in them other than a few random words.

They look really suspicious and the FTC would be able to verify their authenticity.

That’s the end goal but it’s a ways until we get there. In the mean time one of the good ways to be sure we have lots of content here is scraping Reddit.

This is also directed at those who are already posting Reddit content here.

I’m glad they’re not doing it there… the Apple Store has a bunch with nonsense one line sentences with no grammar or punctuation. One of them even references a different app.

Haha, thank you!

Lesson learned: if it’s times out while posting check before trying again.

I apologize for the duplicate posts, I was given an error message and timed out when initially submitting. Sorry!
