This is like banning usb cables

If USB cables were used almost exclusively for illegal and just generally anti social behavior.

I’d never heard of this thing, and it does sound fun, but this was the use case list from the paragraph calling it a “humble hobbyist device” doesn’t come across as very defensible:

People can use them to change the channels of a TV at a bar covertly, clone simple hotel key cards, read the RFID chip implanted in pets, open and close some garage doors, and, until Apple issued a patch, send iPhones into a never-ending DoS loop.

But also agreed on fuck those car companies that just don’t care and would rather weaponize the government than try to fix anything (without a subscription fee of course). Anti social behavior forced Kia to change their shitty grift of a product so 🤷

Go try to find Dad’s Place on Google maps. You’ll see it’s not even a church.

When we’re talking about residential zoning, we’re talking about the building

BossDj ,

It has alley access behind the storefront haha.

Anyway, I’m getting hit for this one, but my intention was to defend that the city wasn’t just being sick, anti homeless villains. There were warnings, etc. The building next door has people who stay overnight (it’s a halfway house), so this couple COULD have done some paperwork, petitions, or upgrades, but instead chose to hire extreme right wing lawyers to make a media circus

BossDj ,

They’ve done this repeatedly over time before the government response. They, over time, installed amenities. They could get clearance/zoning for overnight people, like the building right next door to them (a halfway house), but they are extremists who refused to try to work with the government to make it legit

BossDj ,

Because Obama is the last time we remember being happy. So association?

BossDj ,

Haha and you think he should “debate” Trump?

More like guidelines than actual rules

This is from a Lebanese outlet. It’s full of pretty exclusively middle east news, and publically makes clear its agenda. The article was submitted by a frequent poster of a wide variety of World News from all over, commonly human rights violations. This guy particularly upped his posting game after explicitly saying he should post more after another prominent poster decided to take a break.

Also this is Lemmy. Nobody cares about us.

BossDj ,

Yay context!

a number of Democrats tried to boost far-right Republican candidates whom they deemed easier to beat in November.

The strategy seems to have paid off: In high-profile races where Democratic candidates or groups successfully used the strategy during the primaries, all of the Republicans they helped have either lost or are trailing, two days after Election Day.

BossDj ,

I think they discovered that was at least going on with Bernie

BossDj ,

All true, but in honesty this article does read like a propaganda piece.

Despite the sensational headline, the “executions that are on the rise” consist of two people arrested years ago under conspiracy charges and went through the court system. There is no further mention of public flogging beyond the headline. A Yemen official provides almost all the details, and the other accusation was “we found four bodies. Must have been Houthis”

The only credible person interviewed in there only said “Houthis are responsible for human rights abuse” without any elaboration.

I’m not defending any sides or anything, but I’m pretty sure this is a bias or propaganda piece. Could all be true, I don’t know, but it is not a great article.

I just found out that Humble Bundle has a book bundle for Terry Pratchett's Discworld. A 39 book bundle that is redeemed through Kobo.com.

Just found out from that other Lemmy thread? Haha

BossDj ,

So if moisture is a factor, what do you propose otherwise?

BossDj ,

I really hope you read and considered the top reply to your post. Science is a good thing

BossDj ,

I think it’s important to see that people might enjoy nerding out for a bit on an obscure bit of science. Not everything has to be a fight to take down the establishment. What you see as a useless waste of time some people find joy in. Not everything has to be about an evil corporate ploy. It doesn’t make everyone else stupid wrong shills for thinking differently than you. Fuck the racists, but also enjoy some fun, meaningless contemplations

BossDj ,

If the car went in due to driver error, why mention the make of the car in the title?

NYPost is a shitty propaganda outlet by design. Not just because I’m to the left so I hate it. It’s literally the purpose of the site.

So yes, this article ONLY exists to trigger the thought of “electric car bad” in their readers.

Me and internet funeral

Hey, FUCKER here. For the people who actually remember me, yes I’m still alive. If you’re wondering why I stopped posting, it was a combination of things, but it was mostly caused by my deteriorating motivation to do anything recently. When I first started this community, I was always excited to hear people’s funny thought...

BossDj ,

Thanks for making it easier for me to ditch Reddit. Of all the fuckers out there, you’re a real one

BossDj ,

I read this whole event picturing Cotton from King of the Hill.

Also, “So are you Chinese or Japanese?”

BossDj ,

I also can’t stand when GOP is in control of one of the houses and people “why isn’t Biden getting anything done!!” Take a damn 101 class already. Then they complain about executive orders. The fuck do you want him to do??

BossDj ,

Yup I’ve used it to write my meeting. And so many teachers using it to lesson plan

This is the funniest damn wiki entry I’ve ever seen.

AMD removes Taiwan branding from CPUs, says change wasn't made to appease China | The 'Made in Malaysia' markings will remain, though. (www.tomshardware.com)

AMD removes Taiwan branding from CPUs, says change wasn’t made to appease China | The ‘Made in Malaysia’ markings will remain, though.::AMD will no longer mark its chips as made in Taiwan, a change that many theorize was made at the behest of China.

BossDj ,

Slightly misleading title:

The “Taiwan branding” it refers to was not “Made in”, but a separate labeling of “Diffused in”. This makes the title’s reference questionably unnecessary information other than to spark controversy.

The article itself is much more fair, explaining AMD’s stated reason AND why it could be considered believable and reasonable, and confirmed by inside sources.

That said, I still think it was totally to appease China

Google usually replaces something well built out with someone very incomplete.

Maybe their game here is to trim it to hell so Bard doesn’t look so comparatively incomplete?

BossDj ,

In honesty, many of the changes announced seem to remove redundancies

BossDj ,

But we’re good with Eat the Rich, right?

They communicate by flapping their meat

BossDj ,

The previous huge issue with the Max, where planes were noise diving, was a result of Boeing being unable to compete with Airbus. They altered their design to hold more people, but couldn’t get it to fly straight, so they included an automated system that “auto corrected” the issue. How does a design that has to have a system that autocorrects constantly get made to begin with?

BossDj ,

This is one of I think four being removed in Oregon!

BossDj ,

They were built for power. They displaced native populations that used the river.

Either way, I think they know what they’re doing

Amazon pricing makes no sense.

We have been buying extra strong PG Tips British tea from Amazon because we think American tea is way too weak. 3 boxes of 80 were about $40 last time I bought them a few months ago. They’re now $80. Thankfully we discovered we can get an order of 6 for $60, but we have to wait until mid-February for the to arrive. Meanwhile,...

I was using camel for holiday shopping and it’s where it really hit me hard how stupidly priced have risen in 3 years

Ex-Perpetually barefoot person here. For some people, it works the opposite way!

The short answer is plantar fasciitis.

With respect, I hope this doesn’t open a door of treatment strategies or anything. But to cover: I’m on year 5 of it. I’ve been doing all the things. The people in my life used to laugh at how often I was barefoot. My wife marveled at my insane calluses. I’ve always been athletic and never overweight.

But I’m supposed to have cushioned supports until it heals. Which it refuses to do.

BossDj ,

My dad and all my siblings have had it too. Ugh

BossDj ,

The Biden administration previously pledged to freeze audit rates for filers with $400,000 or less.

I hadn’t heard this, but I’m very disillusioned, discouraged and angry right now.

I’m 40, a teacher, single income (widowed) with two children. I don’t make six figures. But guess who got the IRS on their ass for the first time ever this year?

Apparently I guessed a line wrong on my 1040 last year in Tax Game. Or Turbo Tax did, because I just feed it all the digital documents I get. IRS let me know I get to redo that form (back to start!) and will probably have to pay back $50 of my refund. GOTTEM!

Just send me a fucking bill. For 8 billion per year, and you already know what I should pay, just send me a god damned bill. Fuck this.

BossDj ,

The Biden administration previously pledged to freeze audit rates for filers with $400,000 or less.

It “failed an automatic check” because it knows I got a number wrong. If it knows what the form is supposed to be, why do I have to refill the form? Or fill the form to begin with?

No amount of hyperbole can make that reality any more ridiculous.

BossDj ,

I wasn’t sure where I stood on this and read a lot of comments.

One thing that seems common is that many of those who worked young seem to think it made them better than the other kids somehow. They “wasted” their summer, while you built “essential life skills” unlike the person you’re replying to, who did not? Are you still “set apart” from the person you replied to?

I might think getting thrown into the system at a younger age is the real waste of life. I’ve had a job since I was 15, but I really don’t think it made me better than anyone.

BossDj ,

Dude you’re old

“I’ve got a jdea! We’ll save money if we put more work on the workers!”

Brilliant! That’s why we pay you the CEO salary. Between that one, and “let’s make it smaller and charge the same price” you’re a genius!"
