If enough people do the dictionaries will eventually change it.

An orange. Apparently it is a life changing experience according to a group on that other site.

It has been working great for me for years. I do turn off automatic updates because occasionally they release a buggy version, but it gets fixed.

dan1101 ,

We have two big problems here, one that this person would make the phone calls, but you will never 100% fix human nature.

The biggest problem is that police will send a SWAT team after nothing but an anonymous phone call.

dan1101 ,

Until they figure out what is happening, if anything at all, the SWAT teams certainly stand the chance to do more harm than good. How about some recon first? Deaths are happening, and if nothing else innocent and completely bewildered people wind up with police guns pointed at their heads. Most of the time it’s cleared up but the victims are left with “Oh sorry folks, someone called and said there was a hostage here.”

That guy almost needs to be reported as a danger. He knows all the weepon effects and has put himself in a position where he may be able to legally find out.

dan1101 ,

Search for Swatting incidents and see how many people have been terrorized or killed on the basis of nothing but an anonymous phone call.

The Russian and English aristocracies were related, is that maybe part of the reason there was some support in the UK?

dan1101 ,

That was a good letter they wrote and is even understandable to us not versed in legalese. I especially liked the citation of the US Constitution First Amendment.

dan1101 ,

So commercial real estate is in trouble and he wants to blame Biden. That started back with Trump and Covid.

It’s always amazing to me how difficult quickly sharing simple things between phones is. There are dozens of different apps and methods. Even my iOS friends have trouble getting their built-in method to worn.

dan1101 ,

Yeah the best thing I can say is play as much as you work but also be kind to your future self. Do things today to make your life better in the future. That can be anything from washing the dishes to starting a retirement account. I say start a retirement account because compound interest and decades until you retire is a powerful combination and no matter what you do, more money can usually help.

I’m afraid we will have to talk about your cardboard mask, but I will allow the box fort to remain for now. Also pickles are ok but no more microwaving them, ok?

Same, on phone Newpipe works fine for me so far.

Old spice Blue vs White stuff (lemmy.world)

While shopping on Amazon for my usual old spice bearglove smelling system, I’ve gotten burned with what I’m getting. I want the blue stuff and I keep getting this white stuff. I don’t care if they took the aluminum off, I’m not willing to try that again. Last time I tried it my armpits got extremely irritated. I’m not...

dan1101 ,

Agreed in some cases, but I haven’t been able to find the classic original formula Old Spice in stores for years. Going to stores results in a lot of wasted time and gas sometimes.

If they are killing the Justice League wouldn’t that make them a Homicide Squad?

There are now food ads in Apps Only mode on my TCL Google TV.

There are tons of back yard chickens in the USA, even in many cities.

Michigan case offers an example of how public trust suffers when police officers lie (apnews.com)

A Black man who was detained by police during an early morning walk in a quiet community northwest of Detroit says the white officer who threw him against a squad car, cuffed him and accused him of planning to break into a car also told a significant lie....

dan1101 ,

I’ve always thought police need to be held to a higher standard. They have weaseled out of so much responsibility for anything. If they want law enforcement powers they should conduct themselves professionally at all times, not as killers or cowards or bullies.

Let COBOL die, it’s terrible.

dan1101 ,

It wasn’t for me, too wordy and felt more like something for accounting/corporate than a programmer. I was offered a good-paying job programming COBOL out of college but turned it down because I didn’t want to spend my life with it. But that’s just me.

dan1101 ,

I’m all for that I just never personally liked COBOL.

dan1101 ,

Guess the settlement didn’t address that. Bayer will keep selling it as long as they can afford the lawsuits.

Real men played TIE Fighter where your ship didn’t even have shields to begin with.

If the kids can lie about their age they will just lie about their age.

It’s not the point of the article but from day one Netflix streaming never had close to everything I wanted. They just had enough that there was usually something I could settle for after I didn’t find what I was really trying to watch.

dan1101 ,

Yet another reason that old cars are looking better and better. We’ll be Cuba at some point.

dan1101 ,

Then people will be doing that all the time.

Seems like the sort of thing drones could deliver.

dan1101 ,

Not a threat, an opportunity for consumers to have more and hopefully better more affordable choices.

dan1101 ,

Yes Chinese goods do tend to have quality issues, but not always. Harbor Freight tools last way more than once IME. Companies like DJI make great products, probably the best on the market.

If Chinese companies can export simple reliable cheap EVs to the US I think that’s a large market segment that isn’t being filled.

And they don’t need to be full of gadgets and go 0-60 in 2 seconds while wearing out the tires.

Except Ford.

A nitrogen leak could harm people in the room? Do they realize that Earth’s atmosphere is about 78% nitrogen and they breathe that much in with every breath? As long as there is fresh air going to the room and it’s not a huge Nitrogen leak, how would a leak hurt anyone?

Why 150 years why not 99999 years or something?

West Virginia GOP majority pushes contentious bills arming teachers, restricting bathrooms, books (apnews.com)

West Virginia’s Republican-dominated Legislature pushed forward a slate of contentious bills Wednesday that would arm teachers, allow people to sue libraries over books that offend them and restrict where transgender kids can use the bathroom at school....

dan1101 ,

WV has historically leaned Democrat but if Republicans support coal I’m sure many would vote for that.

dan1101 ,

That is hilarious that they expect iOS users to pay a fee to sideload apps. Like comically evil.

dan1101 ,

Is it just a one time fee? And what were you paying for, testing to see if it qualified for the app store?

Seems like sideloading would be a different path and goal unless Apple is trying to retain control of that too. To me a lot of the point of users sideloading is to load whatever they want, not what the corporation that made the OS will allow.

dan1101 ,

It’s North Korea in the Apple world.

The Clintons were against gay marriage too IIRC. Those generations took longer to change their position on the issue. And of course many Republicans never did change their position.

Man sues Macy’s, saying false facial recognition match led to jail assault (www.washingtonpost.com)

Retailers increasingly are using facial recognition software to patrol their stores for shoplifters and other unwanted customers. But the technology’s accuracy is highly dependent on technical factors — the cameras’ video quality, a store’s lighting, the size of its face database — and a mismatch can lead to dangerous...

Faulty software and people who don’t operate it properly, this is going to cause a lot of problems in the coming years. I read another article about faulty Fujitsu auditing software in the UK that led to 400 postmasters being falsely accused of theft.

Jumping around, Arma 3 with Antistasi mod, Saints Row, Dragon’s Dogma, Grim Dawn coop, and just bought Void Destroyer 2 for a very low price.
