GOP resolution calls on SCOTUS to ‘intervene’ in Trump’s hush money case (www.politico.com)

Rep. William Timmons (R-S.C.) introduced a resolution Friday urging the Supreme Court to “intervene” in the hush money case against former President Donald Trump before the 2024 election — a move that experts say is a political stunt that faces significant legal obstacles....

While I agree with your point, political motivation is prosecution is a bad thing. Look at the way the hunter Biden story is paraded around as if Joe biden did something wrong. Selectively prosecuting people for political reasons is a hallmark of fascism. So, it does matter, but just not in this case.

I’m a dentist. You get surprisingly adept at removing and placing piercings in ears and noses. Often they need to be removed for xrays and lots of people don’t know how to do it for their own jewelry.

A robot won’t replace individual programmers. AI and improved processes will mean quicker code review and less programmers needed. There will be a net loss of programmer jobs but an individual programmer won’t be replaced. Rather the remaining programmers create more (as a percent, not absolute) code with better tools.

hitmyspot ,

Yes. But its by attrition. There won’t be a programmer replaced by AI directly. Their colleagues will take over their work and have higher workloads but be more efficient. That’s ways been the way.

People are awful. God had no part in this. If god did, then he’s a cruel god. If he didn’t, then where is his omnipotence? If its about free will, where is the child’s free will?

What god invents childhood leukemias? What plan could require them and if god was all powerful, could they not make a plan that doesn’t harm innocents.

Visitors to Greece appear ill informed about heatwave risk, warn rescuers (www.theguardian.com)

Over the past week, three search and rescue operations have been started for tourists who have gone missing during treks on far-flung islands, including one for the popular TV presenter Michael Mosley, who was found dead on the island of Symi....

As an Australian, originally from Ireland I’m surprised California would be hottest place. I would have though Australia or middle east would be hotter than California. I’ve loved a summer in San Diego and it was hot but not stifling. Sydney is not crazy hot by Australian standards and its oppressive heat when a heatwave comes.

Saying that, I’m now more familiar with how much humidity plays a part. Dry heat like 40degrees in Adelaide is much more comfortable than humid 35 in Sydney. When its 43 in Sydney, its best to stay inside. I’ve never been to Greece but if its similar to other Mediterranean countries, I’d say its moderately humid, rather than dry. California is similar I’d imagine, but a little drier.

I watched GoT all the way through and found it disappointing. However I’m now doing a rewatch and enjoying it. Looking back, the first season is less creative than I remembered. Its just played with great conviction. There are some great quotes though and the budget for sets and set pieces is amazing.

On rewatch lots of stuff i missed makes more sense now that I’m familiar with the world and characters, even knowing how it ends.

I thought the second one was great for exactly the reason that they subverted the generic trope of good guy, bland. Then they found success with that and just repeated it ad nauseam.

Life having no meaning or purpose can be scary. Living in an artificial bubble of pretend is scarier.

While I’m sure there are many genuinely religious or spiritual people, the vast majority just mindlessly follow what they have been told.

I find password sharing between family or others poor on bitwarden. It segments all the password vaults and then defaults all new into one. Very hard to change. It would be better to be able to choose zones or similar for sharing so I could have a personal vault, a family vault and a work vault and able to access all seamlessly. I would own all but be able to share as appropriate.

While this is possible to do its not seamless.

hitmyspot ,

Yes, I use them but it doesn’t work smoothly. I cannot easily add a password to my organisations from my personal account within a browser, even when setting up first time. If someone shares an organization vault with me, it can easily be accessed.

hitmyspot ,

9 times out of 10 password creation is one click with no prompt or indication that its for any particular vault. Not intuitive at all. I do it but less techy family or work colleagues, no, they don’t.

I also don’t see an option to save to both at once. So hard to share between users that have different access levels when there is crossover.

Perhaps I’m missing something. My personal use case is Personal passes Family passes Family passes, kids access Work passes all Work passes personal Work passes admin (higher security) Work passes customer facing Work passes clinical

So if I use a service at work but also on my kids ipad computer I need to created 2 seperste entries manually. I don’t want my work to have access to kids vault and likewise I don’t want my kid to have access to work vault. That’s just an easy example. There are many more cases like that for different work users a d not having cross access with other users. So it defaults to their personal account but they need access to joint accounts or department accounts. When theybsave something new, it saves to their personal.

As pain is aubjective. The subject believing their pain to be improved is an effect.

For a lot of medical science now, we look not only at medical outcomes but patient perceived outcomes.

Scientists are great at quantifying outcomes and risk evaluation mathematically. People are bad at using that data to decide on treatment, so depend on healthcare professionals to guide them. The communication skills of the healthcare provider are just as important as their clinical skill in many cases. In some cases, even more so.

If someone is happier with their objectively worse outcome, which is the better outcome?

hitmyspot ,

Like Apple Maps? Or mms messaging?

hitmyspot ,

Owned it by forcing everyone to manually install google maps, which they were already using happily? Or owned it by giving a pr spin after the fact? Group messaging via mms still doesn’t work correctly due to iMessage.

What is it about the text messages and emails sent by older people that make me feel like I'm having a stroke?

Maybe they're used to various shortcuts in their writing that they picked up before autocorrect became common, but these habits are too idiosyncratic for autocorrect to handle properly. However, that doesn't explain the emails I've had to decipher that were typed on desktop keyboards. Has anyone else younger than 45 or so felt similarly frustrated with geriatrics' messages?

Yes and were in our 40s now. Those teenagers grew up, at least chronologically.

NBC News: After X post about Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, Missouri AG demands documents from Kansas City mayor (www.nbcnews.com)

The attorney general of Missouri is demanding information about the circumstances of a post shared on the X social media platform by the official city of Kansas City account that stated Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s city of residence....

Do they mean x, formerly known as Twitter? This is the first time I’ve seen it reference like this and it’s confusing as a headline, as X can also stand in as an unknown variable.

I feel they are taking features and options away. I don’t mind if they have a simple and advanced menu so those who want to adjust can do so, and its simple for the average user.

However, instead they treat everyone as if they are tech ikliterate. They lock it down for financial gain and call it protecting consumers.

Back in the day, sometimes USA TV shows would not air overseas for months depending on the schedule. Often spoilers online would ruin some parts. Piracy solved this. Then they started doing same time release worldwide but you had to use buggy streaming services and the quality was poor. Then they tried selling shows for much more than their worth on a per episode basis. Piracy fixed all these problems. Netflix was a good, reasonable solution and then they all decided to dontheor own thing. Piracy it is then.

Its funny that even Netflix knew that the greed of others was their biggest risk as they planned to be streaming HBO before HBO and others caught up. Its a pity they didn’t emulate the quality.

hitmyspot ,

If it’s not ready to play, don’t do a playtest. They want to have their cake and eat it. The playtest is for publicity, not testing.

hitmyspot ,

So, even at full release, there could be bugs. That makes the suppression of actual opinions worse. If people didn’t call out unfinished projects, they would not get fixed. If they want preorders, stop making buggy mess games.

hitmyspot ,

Employees do testing, already covered by an NDA. Content creators do publicity. If they are restricted to no negative publicity, then they are not reliable and it’s dishonest.

Because the community response was negative. It didn’t end up there by mistake. It was put there.

If intentional, as it would seem to be, shouldn’t there be jail time too. Or is that inky for people that steal less than a million?

Trust their motivation. They are worried that ai including LLM processing will be mainly on Linux and they’ll be left behind. They are just following where they think the money will be. It just happens to be good for Linux and consumer choice, but that’s a side effect, not the reason.

How shocking. Why is he even involved in these decisions. Attention?

I don’t know. There’s plenty of evidence that trump consorted with known sex traffickers and he was elected president. It would seem like quite a specific search. If AI is going to background check us all, it’s likely that they will find dirt on everyone.

I assume they mean in the original term, that technology should be used to make life better, not to damage peoples employment.

Probably because his ideas is what made popular psychology known to the world. His ideas have largely been debunked but there are nuggets that have been developed and become something different, rather than abandoned.

His ideas about ego, id superego etc are more commonly understood than the current psychiatric terms.

So, just like we call it pop culture, pop psychology is well known and he’s the head.

hitmyspot ,

Wow, talk about trying to scare people into not protesting. However, it could have the opposite effect. Take away from the protestors and they have less to lose. They may start to shine a light on injustices at home, too.

hitmyspot ,

Yes, but most didn’t have consequences and managed to effect change. Even if it wasn’t as much change as they wanted.

It looks like they are trying to use heavy handed tactics and fear, as well as self interest to quell the action. Its unlikely to work well as most are doing so selflessly.

In fact it may embolden others rather than scare them off, or increase from a peaceful protest to having masks for anonymity etc.

Yes, many suffered repercussions for Vietnam era protests bit they wear it with a badge of pride now and conscription is done politically. Mental health of personnel. Is also considered more, RHA is to protests and sympathy.

Universal basic income means no requirement to do anything.

I’m surprised they made 440m. However, investing in r+d is not unusual. This amount is not a huge investment for them based in overall revenue.

The entire network can be down. Its just harder as there is some built in redundancy. I’m sure reddit also has built in redundancy.

When my local instance is down, I use my alternate. Its much worse as its not as curated. Sure, there are apps to help sync them now but my instance is now reliable enough that inhavmt bothered.

I think it’s important to be realistic in the capabilities of Lemmy in looking at competing services.
