It may-be a bit too niche for lemmy (and !aviation@lemmyfly.org is empty or even de3ad)

But is there a local software to visualize GPS traces ? One of my vario provider has it's own online UI, and the other has a web igc viewer, but sometimes I'd like to visualize them locally, especially with a way to see the airspace around

I don’t mean that the joke just isn’t funny, I want to know a joke that almost makes you want to fast-forward through the scene.

Have you went down any internet rabbit holes only to come out with a deep set existential crisis? If so, what are they?

I have noticed over the last couple of years that newer speakers no longer have grilles on them. It seems wildly unsafe to have a bare tweeter that any slight accident can destroy the expensive piece of equipment.

I've started sunbathing because... reasons.

second day: I applied sunscreen to my skin and after some 30 seconds of rubbing my arms, I started to see what I could be dead skin on my hands: tiny balls of grey and white junk, the size of one to several sand grains, but not hard to press like sand or a tiny particle of wood.

The other thing that crossed my mind is it could be rests of the chemical sunscreen I use. Has this ever happened to you with chemical screens?

Is this normal?

I've hears stories of some Americans telling other people who are speaking a non-English language "This is America, speak English!" even if the conversation has nothing to do with them. Why do they do this?

after running under the rain for 30 minutes my white sneakers had a foul stench. I tried disinfectant and washing them with soap and water and lots of rubbing and sunlight to dry.

While that got rid of most of the smell, my white sneakers are now brownish, specially around the shoelaces.

I've never washed sneakers in the washing machine. Am I going to ruin them?

By classic, I mean gifs that came about from 2000 to 2014.

Well after 10 years I just got banned by ADAfruit indefinitely for not shipping to my home address. I don't know wtf that was about. I think they banned both addresses so I screwed my friend over. Anyone know of any other alternative sites?

I made some strawberry rhubarb oatmeal bars, so this question is super duper important to determine how cutesy I can be about it

I just learned that Nmap is almost GPL except that they revoked the license specifically for SCO group for their SCO–Linux disputes.

This got me thinking, what do open source programmers think of evil companies or horrible people using their software?

Don't get me wrong, FOSS software by its nature can't be controlled or strictly prevented of being used. But in case of companies like SCO, that is a thing that at least can cause them headache and they risk getting into legal trouble. A programmer for example can modify GPL to make so that his software can't be used by Microsoft or Facebook, but it is GPL for everybody else.

I see ads all the time for shit like consumer Cellular, mint mobile, stuff that rents time on Verizon towers and sells you a plan for like half the price.

I'm trying real hard to de-Xfinity myself but the cellular plan is the cheapest of all the major companies. Yes, I know they also piggyback off the Verizon network, but at least they have 24/7 support

I mean movies that are just like regular modern comedy movies but take place in a historical setting. Some examples include “The Little Hours” and “A Million Ways to Die in the West.” Furthermore, does anybody have any more examples of movies like these?

OF was originally designed not for adult content, but just sort of another Patreon. I've been thinking about starting a Patreon, but I think it would be funnier if I started an Only Fans since I make educational content.

do you, or anybody that you know, use Only Fans as if it were Patreon?

My question to you guys here is :

Do you like watching South Park? If not, why?

I understand that the jokes in it can rub a lot of people the wrong way especially when they make fun of religious groups, race and current day first world problems.

Personally I've enjoyed the show ever since I watched earlier seasons on DVD years ago. I just find the humor and some of the moments give you that shock kind of laughter "They really put that in there??"

So what's your view? Do you watch it? Do you hate it? You thought of watching it?

Let me know!
