Yeah no. Plaid is one thing but giving access to your bank login to pay an invoice is something quite another. If it's legit they can accept a card payment, or send you to a PayPal invoice.

Gotta have lashings of Bisto gravy, yorkies and good ol' British Maris Piper potatoes too. Occasionally carrot turnip mash if you're feeling posh. Cauliflower and broccoli if that's your thing. Served by Lynda Bellingham.

Americans know it as Apple Crisp, because the US has to perpetuate the myth than American English is anything but a bastardisation of an existing language and therefore have different words for the same thing.

And yes. Hot Ambrosia® custard, not ice cream, and not Birds®. Just as I was served at school dinners (which somehow bow are called lunch).

Or Colmans English Mustard. English Wasabi, I call it.

The 'small caps' really gave it away to me but I wasn't familiar with which book - thank you! The Death books were always very humanizing in an interesting way, His scenes were always my favourite.

Do the improved Chromium browsers all count as bad browsers now? I use Vivaldi. I'm not certain but I think DuckDuckGo's browser might be based on Chromium, too.

Vivaldi still displays a face. It's probably a Chromium thing.

So, dude makes art on the internet and wanted to use his output to create a revenue stream for himself? Shocking, how dare he. Randall Munroe got popular doing xkcd, and now he's written books just to further make a name for himself. A damning indictment.

If they put the correct symbol there it would read café

It's like he's a real life Zaphod Beeblebrox, only far, far worse.

Ooh, thanks! I love stuff like this.

 

You weren't there, man...

Similar, perhaps. I enjoyed visiting Costco in England and devouring jacket (baked) potatoes with Heinz baked beans (I'm aware this is Lemmy...), Shepherd's Pie and a hot cup of Yorkshire Tea - so the menu is localised too.

I don't remember if they also had the typical American fare when I was there, because I was more interested in the British cuisine I had missed so much. They may have had the froyo and hotdogs. Im certain there must have been pizza, surely.

 

When we used reddit, and you found a link on Google or in an email that went to reddit.com, it would open up that link in Boost. Same for the email notifications when you got an inbox message or a comment reply - following the link opened up your inbox in Boost, not your web browser.

Since there are an almost infinite number of instances to match the URL for, is this behaviour just not possible with Lemmy, by the nature of the fediverse?

I think I remember Android having a manual option to set default apps for certain links, so I'm going to try and set Boost the default app for links starting with my home instance. Not sure if Boost will necessarily understand the links though and how to process it..
