Humans used to have a much more direct connection between what they did and their survival. Gather enough food and you won't starve. Keep an eye out for other tribes/clans/families competing for the same resources and you don't get killed. Processing TPS reports all day doesn't seem like it does much of anything even though it gives you money. We've lost the connection and our brains can't handle it.

What cover song just takes you to Universe B compared to the original? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Jimi Hendrix's version of All Along The Watchtower by Bob Dylan. It's likely to be the only version of the song most people have ever heard.

The canola oil I buy has rape seed in the ingredients. In very small type, of course.

Dem Senator Says Party Needs to Stop Attacking ‘Oligarchy’ and Focus on Losing ‘Woke’ Reputation in c/[email protected]

Literally, the opposite of what they should be doing. And saying Americans are too stupid to understand a word like "oligarchy" isn't a good look, either.

Cut him some slack, he's doing as well as can be expected given his blood alcohol content.

They’re not getting it. They haven’t been getting it for a long time. A shakeup at the top is long overdue.

On a service Putin isn't on. Now he can claim he "tried".

Ah, yes, X. The platform that reduces your visibility if you criticize Musk.

Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

Congress hasn't passed much of anything lately. They just let Trump do his executive orders. But even if they felt like doing anything at all, the GOP has control and can count on a few Dems to follow along.

Undeletable files (lemmy.world)

I've got a couple of files (empty directories) in the Trash I can't delete. I own them, the mode is 777 and whether I use Empty Trash or use rm from the command line (with sudo or running as root) I get "Permission denied". I tried booting into recovery mode and setting csrutil to disabled but that did nothing. Any ideas? It's not the end of the world but every time I empty the trash I have to deal with the dialog box about not being able to delete them.

I want to be able to create new notes based on specific format (lemmy.world)
 

i have a format for note-taking in meetings that I currently copy/paste to use in new notes. I would like to be able to create a new, empty, note based on that format so I can skip the copy/paste step. I have Templater but it seems far more complex than what I need. Any suggestions?

Trying to get and use JSON from a URL (lemmy.world)
 

Absolute JS newbie here. I am able to use fetch() to get JSON from a URL but I can't figure out how to do anything with that JSON outside of the fetch itself.

Here's my code (API key and GPS redacted):

fetch('https://www.airnowapi.org/aq/forecast/latLong/?format=application/json&latitude=X&longitude=X&distance=50&API_KEY=X')
        .then(result => result.json())
        .then((out2) => {     
            console.log('Fetch Output: ', out2);
        }).catch(err => console.error(err));

Any code that references out2 other than console.log() call gives an error that out2 is undefined. How do I get access to out2 anywhere else?
