RIP in pepperonis OP

There was a British superhero TV show called Misfits. One of the delinquents had the power to control milk, I.e. you drink milk and this guy could curdle it in your body and kill you.

Are we both thinking about 15% BAC murderin’ Jesus here?

Russia claimed and held territory. Their military leadership doesn’t particularly value human lives in this conflict and hasn’t historically either. I have no doubt that they will continue the course suffering heavy human losses and eventually find some form of victory.

Ukraine needs more people if they want any hope of staving that eventuality off. The Russians have very different ideas of fighting a war of attrition.

No electricity, no food, no water…

If everyday people have the choice of sitting and starving or doing something about it, I doubt many would go quietly into the night.

Israel will create the next generation of extremists if they do not kill every single person in Gaza. We’ve seen this in every modern Middle East conflict in the past 40 or so years.

Discord‘s TOS only really applies when they feel like it.

Fuck scalpers

Nono, they raise prices with parity such that they’re still technically minimally cheaper.

That being said, I don’t think AMD and Intel have similar game streaming services. It’s pretty much GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud streaming as the big dogs.

Use code “complicit30” for a free consultation and 30% off (up to $10) your first bill with our retained attorneys!

I wonder if you can legally change genders with this. If you're a woman who's bigger, stronger, and faster than the average male in Nebraska, then you satisfy this biological condition set forth in law.

Imagine the feeling the straw begin to vibrate and get cold as liquid passes through your nose :(

Why is there an airplane chair in a not-airplane?

This shit can destroy companies and tank its value

Leaving hundreds of contacts in limbo with no resolution has the potential to cost more than $17 million in legal fees and termination clauses.

Where the fuck is the board of directors and why are none of the shareholders revolting?

game works a certain way

user dies to different hardware

“My war machines are superior and the reason I lost is due to the game developers. See!”

uploads documents

Imagine how quickly legislators would enact change if the trades unions to include HVAC joined the protest and began striking. You can only sit inside of a 90f building for so long.

Record profits for shareholders could have been applied elsewhere, like investing in ourselves and what keeps the gears of society turning.

It’s their product. It doesn’t meet their standards, so they’re pulling the release to make changes.

I highly doubt anybody’s workflow relies upon this specific version of Linux to operate. Might suck if you are missing out by not using the latest and greatest Linux distribution, but if you need this version and don’t have a service contract in place (do they even offer any?), it’s not on them to meet your expectations.

That’s a long sentence.

But these won’t have the Nintendo Seal of Quality

I've tried editing a few articles years ago, only to have everything undone hours later with no explanation why and nothing in the way of constructive criticism for whatever invisible criteria the power users were looking for. I don't even bother anymore and avoid using the entire site if I can find what I need elsewhere.

Push away eager contributors and you're stuck with the old guard before you realize it.

Yeah. Everybody pays for it, but the guilty cops pay as much as every other city resident despite being at fault.

Malpractice for cops should be something anybody who touches or is affected by a city budget advocates for, as unplanned expenditures for several million may mean cutting essential programs and staff.

This is so tiring to read.

These assholes aren’t the ones who suffer. It’s the federal employees, contractors, ancillary staff, military, and the families and communities they are a part of who suffer.

How the fuck are these obstructionist representatives voted in time and time again?

We just got the 2019 cyber truck, so we’re only a decade or so away from the roadster.

Data harvesting is half of the problem. I have a feeling that congress could give two shits about the data harvesting as it’s almost literally everywhere in modern society and not in the interests of donors or the nationality security apparatus to remove.

The other half is the platform and its potential (hypothetical and actual) for use in information operations. TikTok has direct access to something like 160 million American devices. That rivals other social media giants like Meta who have some government liaisons and relationships embedded in their security teams. ByteDance to my knowledge does not have these relationships. This problem could just as easily apply to any other foreign platform if any were large enough to pose threats of this scale.

I'll drink the half-full glass: accessible gaming hardware is more widely available than it has ever been.

Big corporation Microsoft bad, but as the article points out, they have been one of the major players in the accessibility field with hardware and software accommodations to help meet some of the common needs of disabled gamers. Valve's platform allows for dynamic reprogramming of just about any key binding that I can think of to get around games that have their inputs hard coded in.

More often than not that has been the case :)

Pasted from elsewhere:

“This will be a time for all citizens of the USA to celebrate!” he continued. “This guy turned out to be a Woke train wreck who, if the Fake News reporting is correct, was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States. This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!”

Not seeing a complete screenshot or repost of whatever he said

Best I can do is an armed wellness check. How many firearms should I tell the police you have?

I’m assuming they wanted the literal length of the string

There’s a difference between surrender and defection.

Soldiers who surrender are afforded protections and retain ties to their countries. After hostilities resolve or if a prisoner transfer is arranged, they return to their country and generally do not face punishment. At least according to Geneva conventions on lawful war. It’s rarely this simple and clean.

Soldiers who defect have few, if any, protections and are in a weird place with nationality. They are typically considered fugitives by their home countries and may or may not be able to travel internationally as they may also be stateless.

CSAM. That’s unexpected.

I guess he may have thought living in squalor in North Korea may be preferable to federal prison with that label…

What's that? All I see is *******

I don’t know about that. Billion dollar company vs trillion dollar company isn’t as bad as 100k dollar developer vs billion dollar company.

Giants fighting giants don’t have the same ability to attrite each other.

Thankfully it seems that encoding ads into the video stream is still too expensive for them to implement.

I'm assuming that asking CDNs to combine individualized ads with content and push the unique streams to hosts does not scale well.

Being labeled a work of fiction probably carries less weight when this person has been treated for homicidal ideations at an inpatient facility twice. Unless there’s a link where this document is really a physician-ordered tool to address inner demons or something, it’s probably not going to aid in defense.

Agree. For about half of what I’m interested in, there’s some activity on Lemmy and the conversations aren’t just “no u.”

I wish I didn’t have to, but I still lurk on Reddit for some very specific hobby and occupation hubs. I think there’s a lot more “blue collar” activity over there than there is over here.

Eh, might not be that black and white.

Who’s to say that these firefighters chose the Disney district over a neighbor because of the better benefits? Maybe they have young kids who they want to be able to enjoy the parks on a regular basis without spending so much. Maybe this benefit is worth an extra 30 minute commute each day. Lots of reasons to chose one job over another.

Let’s not just shit on everybody who loses a nice thing. I doubt these people are fighting fires solely for the paycheck.

What's the irony?

Are we assuming that since this person purchases smoked salmon that they're immune to, ignorant of, or in favor of lower purchasing power? Are we assuming this is a luxury purchase, so they are not entitled to slumming it up with the rest of us?

Let this person just enjoy their fish, whatever little amount they're getting for $10.

Interesting. There was a study put out some time ago that had 40 or so game theorists develop algorithms to compete against each other. The most successful algorithm cooperated with the opponent until they defected, at which point they would defect the next round.

They never performed a first strike. Only one retaliation strike for each attack their opponent performed. After the retaliation, it was back to cooperating with no long term ill will.

No shit? A strike would disrupt everything. That's kind of the point. This article is pure propaganda, appealing to environmentalists, techies, or whoever fancies EVs in an attempt to weaken the union's efforts to seek reasonable wages.

Shame on politico for sneaking this through by masquerading it as a blight against improving the environment.

I’m a big fan of creating thousands of folders with machine generated names to house my 27,000 Java files with, you guess it, more machine generated names.

I was prepared to roll my eyes after their introduction which was pure conjecture, but they they started pushing data. Individually these strange practices aren’t conclusive evidence for malware, but combined it’s hard to see any legitimate use for this kind of design for a company acting in good faith.
