Y'all need to walk more! 20 min is only about 2 km, or 1.4 miles in funny units. That's not far man.

In Australia I knew I guy who was a SovCit and he would do stupid things like quote the bill of rights. We'd say "what bill of rights?" Australia doesn't have one. All his info came from the US and he just followed it with realising none of it was relevant in a different country.

The way Gmail orders conversations/email chains makes it SO hard to figure who's reply to what and what the latest email is. Each email in the chain contains the entire chain before it and you end up reading everything twice just to work out what the hell is going on.

Chris Pratt's stunt double, Tony McFarr, has died at the age of 47. in c/moviesandtv@lemm.ee

I'm guessing McFarr had some dirt on Boeing.

Let me guess: which channels you have access to depend on your subscription level? Fuck these jerks.

Remind me again why people from "non-shithole" countries would want to move to the US? The priorities on display here are beyond belief.

TIL the Apollo 11 astronauts had to go through immigration in Hawaii when they splashed down because they had left U.S. borders. in c/til@lemmy.world

I love how this was added to the Apollo 13 movie. As they're floating about feeling cold and miserable Swigert gets told he has been granted an extension as he is "definitely out of the country".

"If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Vaccines will give you autism, microchips, actual diseases etc. It's one of the best medical breakthroughs in history and we have idiots ruining it.

Is him being gay even relevant to what happened, or are they just trying to make this about something it's not?

Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself” in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] dellish@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

No, no, no, it's not Elon who's out of touch. It's the advertisers who are wrong! Just wait until all of Earth, apparently, hears of how these big mean advertisers killed the wondrous and righteous place named X. There will be outrage!.... so thinks Elon anyway. What a deluded moron.

How do you use Dropbox business? (lemmy.world)

I am absolutely sick of Windoze and I'm trying out Linux Mint for my work computer. This has been a bit of a learning curve but I have almost everything working the way I want... but the sticking point is my company uses Dropbox for all file sharing and repository.

I first naively installed Dropbox from the Software Installer but that tried to sync the entire company (many TBs) to my computer. It seems there is no Smart Sync option.

Next I installed Rclone and logged in using that, but it seems to be completely command line based which is absolutely useless. There is no way I'm going to sit here typing out full directory paths and file names every time I need to access something (which is always). I then installed RcloneBrowser, and later the Rclone web GUI, however they BOTH skip the parent folder and put me directly one level down, which is also useless.

Ok I know what you're thinking. I need to create an alias, right? So I did, and my config file now has the lines

[DB]

type = alias

remote = Dropbox:/

but this makes no difference in the web GUI or RcloneBrowser! The frustrating thing is if I use the command line the results I get are:

rclone lsd Dropbox:/ parent directory. Good so far...

rclone lsd DB: parent directory! Yay! So why doesn't this work on either GUI???

If I can't get this to work then I will have to get rid of Linux unfortunately. I can see in many forums I am not the first to have massive issues with Dropbox, but it seems the alias approach works for everyone else. What am I doing wrong?

Can anyone explain the cost of Australia's C-130Js? (www.minister.defence.gov.au)

Apart from Australia getting completely ripped off, I am wondering if anyone had any insight into why they're paying almost $500 million for an aircraft that is worth about a fifth of that amount. This has got to be a continuation of the hilarious AUKUS joke that's been played on them, correct?
