Hear me out, maybe we should update pots and sms to have optional end-to-end encryption for modern implementations as well…Optional as backwards compatible and clearly shown as unencrypted when used that way to be clear.

I have a backlog of great games to play so long that I’m seeing remasters of some games on the list come out before I’ve played them a first time. I have no problem waiting for games to come to a different platform and go on sale.
It’s default 2.5G WAN and 1G LAN. It also has wifi to use some of that bandwidth.
Hunter individually didn’t really deserve a pardon for tax offenses but I can understand it. Hopefully since we’re going full fuck it mode with presidential powers Biden can do something much more deserving of the powers like removing marijuana as a controlled substance and pardoning non-violent marijuana felons.
Unfortunately where I live small electric scooters qualify as a motorcycle but also can’t be registered making them de facto illegal for transportation. The laws haven’t quite caught up everywhere.
Unless I’m traveling for work I don’t really want to go to the movies or restaurants alone. Living room and takeout is better.
Waymo is doing the same. Mostly self-driving but when they get stuck a human at a help center takes the sticks. There are a lot of edge cases in the real world so it makes sense to just have the car programmed to be very conservative and let a human deal with it.
I guess it doesn’t matter at this point but it’s always weird to me that opponents can’t seem to acknowledge that Trump is a formidable political opponent. He’s good at talking to and engaging some groups of Americans which is why he managed to win twice.
Are they sure it wasn’t raccoons looking for dumpsters again?
TempleOS is the rabbit hole usb.
Basic economics was not a required class in my high school. Macro and Micro Economics were both electives.
Government really should be building housing themselves though and working on the zoning laws to make building easier. Even in a free market the government should be a competitor driving prices down to fair levels.
Measures like rent control don’t work because landlords are greedy. People end up staying in locations that don’t fit them anymore for the rent control, landlords try to chase those tenants away and don’t improve the property, new housing stops being developed and supply/demand get wrecked.
Measures like stimulus and tax rebates for first time buyers tends to increase the cost of real estate as well. It’s called a demand subsidy and generally isn’t a great way to tackle a supply problem. The individual home buyers will be helped at the expense of tax payer money and real estate cost - and the types of homes being bought aren’t necessarily the best use of land either depending.
Restricting companies from bulk purchasing and holding real estate seems like a good idea but again when you remove that new housing, especially multi-tenant housing, stops being built. Supply goes down prices shoot up…unless of course the government is willing to personally finance and build out the supply and keep prices fair.
Honestly I don’t want to give him more incentive to go full dictator by dangling a prison sentence over his head the moment he stops being president. They botched all these cases by waiting too long.
Bluesky/twitter/etc are person centric - you follow the person
Lemmy/reddit/etc are topic centric - you follow a community
It makes sense for blocking on Bluesky to completely hide you, you’ve severed the person - person relationship.
On Lemmy severing a person - person relationship shouldn’t disadvantage the user from interacting with the community. Communities don’t want duplicate posts so if you post some big news in a popular community now all the users you’ve blocked would be cut off from that content. Their personal beef with you shouldn’t disadvantage them in the communities this way.
Most of the reporters I follow for sports/news have joined bluesky but not mastodon. At this point I think Bluesky is going to win the bulk of twitter exodus in the end and Mastodon will remain extremely niche.
Eh it’s not like they’ve seriously stopped anything. There’s still plenty of forks of all the emulators they took down and there’s still plenty of places to download games. Nintendo is fighting a hydra and it’s likely just costing them more money and sales by fighting these scenes.
I wonder how recent semaglutide (ozempic, wegovy, etc) will affect this. It’s just come into mainstream recently and it seems like it actually does have positive outcomes for weight loss and addiction. When availability increases and eventual price comes down with patent expiration in the next decade we might see a huge change in this data.
Half Life 2 still holds up really well, honestly better than a ton of modern first person shooters. The only places it’s lacking from a non-technical aspect is enemy variety. If valve did a remake just updating the graphics and gun play that would be my only knock on it and that says a lot for a 20 year old game.
Use a butane insert. Still refillable but it’s sealed in well enough to last years of infrequent use.
Why are people acting like this is too difficult? Biden doesn’t have to go through every file himself. Form a small committee of legal experts you respect and take a bite out of what you can.
