That comment added to one of the cited posts “and this is how you develop borderline personality disorder” is stupid and irresponsible. BPD is so deep, complex, and harmful that I bet that person has never had to deal with it in the first place.

Hyundai and Kia car thefts fall sharply after software upgrade, study finds (www.cbsnews.com)

A social media trend, dubbed the “Kia Challenge,” has appeared to compound the automakers’ problems in recent years, with people posting videos showing how to steal Hyundai and Kia cars. At its height, the Kia Challenge was linked to at least 14 reported crashes and eight fatalities, according to figures from the National...

I just had to purchase a vehicle. My insurance company basically asked me not to buy a KIA or Hyundai and warned that the premiums for those makes were super high.

A Texas woman who was jailed and charged with murder after self-managing an abortion in 2022 can move forward with her lawsuit against the local sheriff and prosecutors over the case that drew national outrage before the charges were quickly dropped, a federal judge ruled Wednesday....

Maybe I’m reading between the lines but all I could see was his grief. I’m a dad too though, so maybe that plays into it.

TheFinn ,

Thinking of replaying. I hope you get some good tips.

Are you on Nvidia, Intel, or AMD?

The issue here, I’m sorry to say, is that your parents dropped the ball. They were the ones responsible for your health and the safety of your environment.

Biden: what would Trump have done if the Capitol riots had been led by Black Americans? (www.theguardian.com)

Joe Biden has launched one of his most scathing attacks yet on Donald Trump’s record of racism, suggesting that the former US president would have acted differently to the January 6 2021 insurrection if was led by Black people....

I may have purchased that exact item from Amazon a few months ago. It is 100% worth saving up for a bit to purchase something this good. Debian stable is fully supported. It’s currently just my streaming client but it’s pretty powerful and sips power compared to off lease desktops or even laptops.

TheFinn ,

That’s a good point, I actually have not. I came to that conclusion based on the reviews I’ve read.

It’s a bit late in the game to drum up support for third party candidates. Republicans have been playing the long game and pushing local elections hard right for years, decades even. You can’t jump in a few months before elections and expect to make any difference other than ensuring the Republican base wins again.

Ranked choice is the only solution.

Do you not read much or something? I’ve been using both singular and plural “they” my whole life.

TheFinn ,

I’m not centuries old but I’ve used it to refer to individuals when I didn’t know their gender, and also when it wasn’t necessary to indicate gender to determine who I was talking about.

I’m almost fifty and went to private schools if it helps.

Are we doing the Ron Paul thing again?

At this rate I bet it’s cheaper for them to Uber everywhere.

ELI5: The Linux xz backdoor situation

PLEASE. I keep seeing it in memes. As I understand it the latest version of the xz package (present in rolling release distros like Arch and SUSE Tumbleweed) has “a backdoor”, but I have no earthly clue what can be done by malicious folks with access to that backdoor or if I should be afraid or how to check if my distro is...

Didn’t it also get into Debian testing and Sid?

TheFinn ,

I’ve been wondering if there’s some kind of notification code that let’s the bad actor know they’ve successfully infected someone. Otherwise what’s the plan, trawl the entire IP space for devices your key can access? Wouldn’t it need UPNP or some other method to reach most people’s systems?

Explicit sync Wayland protocol has finally been merged! (gitlab.freedesktop.org)

Since nvidia drivers do not properly implement implicit sync, this protocol not existing is the root cause of flickering with nvidia graphics on Wayland. This MR being merged means that Wayland might finally be usable with nvidia graphics with the next driver release....

TheFinn ,

I’m all for progress, I hope it helps people, but I haven’t had any issues with my Nvidia card and my two monitors on Wayland.

TheFinn ,

Moronic or bad faith argument. Why do you even try?

TheFinn ,

Each application can have its own default download location. Reddit apps were particularly bad about that and it may have carried over into lemmy as well. But learning the settings for the software you want to use isn’t a terrible ask.

TheFinn ,

When using Graphene, is the camera app as good as the default Pixel OS? I seem to recall running the old AOSP, you didn’t get whatever secret sauce makes the Pixel phone’s camera so good.

Well she’s Margot Robbie, so her clavicles are symmetrical af. She probably just assumes the rest of us are like that too 😓

YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective" (en.wikipedia.org)

“Systematic reviews of controlled clinical studies of treatments used by chiropractors have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective, with the possible exception of treatment for back pain.[8] A 2011 critical evaluation of 45 systematic reviews concluded that the data included in the study “fail[ed] to...

TheFinn ,

I’m 100% on board with science and evidence based therapies but I’ve had a similar experience with back pain. I won’t let them manipulate my neck at all though.

TheFinn ,

Show me in the rules where I’m required to be internally consistent!

TheFinn ,

I’ve been meaning to ask a graphene user, is the camera still as full featured and capable as the stock camera or does it lose the post processing that Google does?
