I never really got the humor there, lol, but I’m lamenting the loss of 80s TV because I had a lot of good Golden Girls posts since I’m finally watching it for the first time.

My (limited) understanding is that there’s no straightforward way to do that at least in Lemmy.

You mean the images going down fairly regularly?

These are all 90s cartoons, so if you can find them:

• Batman: The Animated Series (the one with Mark Hamill as the Joker)
• Animaniacs
• Tiny Toon Adventures
• Chip n’ Dale’s Rescue Rangers
• Pinky and the Brain Saw you have that one already

I can’t even afford to bid on Grudge’s cat collar lol.

I get that it isn’t the same but when all you have is a garbage version of a memory, I’m not sure or really matters whether the representation is the original garbage or something that makes you feel less regret over not having something better.

In my experience, the worse the photograph the better my memory of it. Probably because my mind is already used to filling in the blanks in the garbage version, so it’s constantly refreshing the memory in my mind to keep it vivid. YMMV obviously. I’m also not much of a shutterbug and prefer to commit moments to memory than try to fight with my phone to snap a photo I’ll probably never look at.

Are you able to tag the appliances after you’ve huffed all the freon out? I’ve got an old fridge in the basement I need to get rid of but can’t until I get someone out to extract the freon and put the evacuation certification tag on it.

DM me if you can help.

I’m currently near the end of season 2, and I think the closest so far is the drag queen jazz band lol. Definitely handled well, especially for the time.

As far back as TV goes, really.

The Andy Griffith Show seemed like it was always playing in our house growing up, and that’s from the 50s. I dream of Jeannie and Bewitched were from the 60s and hold up pretty well (though the tropes there are really tired these days such as the “boss coming over for dinner” plots).

Cheers definitely holds up as does Frasier, and Malcolm as well. Totally forgot Coach existed, but I remember it being somewhat amusing though I never sat down and watched it. May give it another try.

This appears to be part of the “Parents Decide Act”

Sure would be nice if parents would decide to parent their own kids instead of making it everyone else’s problem.

“How to Adult 101” and 102. I’m not qualified to teach 103+ though.

I will always use “M as in ‘Mancy’”

Tact

Ah. Okay. I use a client that handles YT embeds so that’s why then. However, when I’m on a VPN, sometimes it puts me through an endless captcha loop.

I’m assuming that’s a VPN problem? They always work fine as embeds for me.

NGL, it’s kinda creepy.

Edit: I feel bad for the flippant answer, so here’s a more involved one.

If it’s just an academic curiosity, I can understand that. Like, if you’re just wondering what all the fuss is about and how some people get sucked in and all that. OTOH, if you’re just lonely and trying to fill that void, please don’t try to date an LLM.

Having seen you around and generally respecting your position on various things…

Please be trolling. Please be trolling. Please be trolling

Cool. TIL about the LilyGo pager. I’d always liked the T-Deck but the pager may be my next toy.

Not an answer to your question, merely an amusing anecdote, but Windows used to use a green screen (different shade though) to render videos.

“The media player program didn’t render the video pixels to the screen,” … Instead, Windows would render a green screen (or a different color, depending on the version), then “render the video pixels to a graphics surface shared with the graphics card.” The final step was to “tell the graphics card that whenever it sees a green pixel about to be written to the screen, it should substitute a pixel from that shared graphics surface.”

–Windows used to secretly use green screens to render videos, which is how you could trick MS Paint into becoming a video player

I mean, replace religion with communism/anarchism/whatever stupid -ism, and that’s like half the people here.

But also, any time you see anything “blogspot [dot] com” here, it’s 99.9999% always blogspam so I just report and block.
