  • I don't think you know the definition of sex offender, it doesn't always mean someone's done something to kids. You can be a sex offender and only attacked adults. Hell, you can be a sex offender without even touching another person. So "sex offender" isn't enough here. A "pedophile sex offender works", but even then it doesn't show that he has done the worst sex crime that can make you a sex offender, so I'd say it's still not enough. A "child rapist" is really the best way to ensure everyone knows exactly what he's done.

  • Explain how it's evil to allow the US companies to move their production out of the US? The US corporations could have kept industry here, but they decided to fuck themselves over so that a few shareholders' margins went up by a few percentage points. That wasn't China being malicious, that's the US lacking any sense of foresight while being blinded by greed.

  • Washington Post Raid Is a Frightening Reminder: Turn Off Your Phone’s Biometrics Now

  • You don't have to give them your password, and GrapheneOS has a convenient feature to turn off biometric unlock for only unlocking the phone, but still lets you use it in apps

  • A glimpse into the life of the man who attacked Ilhan Omar.

    Jump

  • Obviously he's the guy who tried to kill someone, so he isn't the victim in that case, but to some extent he is a victim, as is everyone who eventually drinks the coolaid of right-wing mass media propaganda.

    Clearly the guy, while obviously struggling to be a decent human being, wasn't outright vile initially. I may be reading into it a bit much, but can you not see the story of someone who has been through hardships, that was eventually accepted by a group that took advantage of his desire for being part of something? Obviously he cannot shirk blame or fault for the path he ended up taking, but I could see things playing out quite a bit differently if there were reasonable people he could turn to for help and guidance.

    Don't spin my words, I'm not saying anyone made him racist, or that the fact that his girlfriend was black had anything to do with how he turned out. He got divorced twice. His best friend died. One of his daughters is institutionalized. His girlfriend left him. That kind of stuff can cause someone to feel like they have no control over their own life, and unfortunately the right is very good at convincing people they have the solution for that.

    I was raised republican, and made the switch to democrat in college, and then again to socialist a while after that. I've personally had to help people I know from losing their head and falling for the shit Fox News is shoveling in hard times, so maybe I'm just more likely to assume that there could have been conditions in which this guy didn't become a racist asshole who tries to kill a congresswoman. I believe very strongly that, if the left showed any semblance of compassion for the normal folks being targeted by the right, there'd be quite a few less people pulled into being extremists.

  • I use arch (btw) on my personal machine because I hate myself, but on my servers and the computers of people I move off of Windows I always install Debian and KDE/Gnome, for simplicity and stability.

  • Netflix Animation Studios are now funding Blender development

    Jump

  • That's the lovely thing about open source: if this ruins blender, the community at large can pivot and fork blender to allow it to thrive in the way the community wants it. In small projects this type of pivot can ruin the momentum of a project, but in large-scale projects they are a lot safer.

  • Being a parent of children with these kind of issues is taxing on a person, and it adds to the story of someone being left behind (both voluntarily or involuntarily) by everyone he cares about.

  • A curated list of awesome FOSS games

    Jump

  • While I understand where you're coming from, I think this list exists for a different purpose than to find you collaborators. While I didn't make the list, I do like having a list of competed FOSS games somewhere, as I think it fills a gap in FOSS game reporting. I think there should be (and know there are) other lists specifically for FOSS games looking for collaborators.

  • Nah, those two cannot be used synonymously. They mean different things, and one is predatory and problematic, the other is not.

  • I spent the majority of my childhood using cursive in school, and I hate the way it looks personally. So much so my signature is a stylized printing. Cursive is muddy and if the writer doesn't have great fine motor skills, it looks worse than poorly scrawled printing. I think that the point of text should be legibility, and cursive seems to be against that entirely. Even in neatly written cursive letters tend to blend together.

    To each their own though, I can read it and write it so at the end of the day, I'm just an old man yelling at clouds

  • Yup. All my IoT devices are on a network that doesn't have access to the internet. To control remotely, I use a VPN. Even though I don't think it's technically necessary, I take the precaution of blocking connections to the big company's APIs/websites for all my IoT devices, just in case.

    I wish this were easier for the layman to do. Some companies like Unifi make it pretty painless, but they are expensive and it's really hard for the non-networking-savvy folks to know exactly which devices you need from them to have a working setup.

  • I agree with the fact that they aren't a great company, but anyone who's shopped around for skins/decals knows that dbrand is a cut above the rest in terms of quality. I've stopped buying from them due to how they run things, though.

  • France seeks to ban social media for children under 15

    Jump

  • The old canned chat Club Penguin was a safe space for kids on the internet in my youth. Sure, you could have snowballs thrown at you, but since there were canned-chat-only servers, it was a safe space to hang out and make friends, despite not getting to know them very deeply.

    I think it was a pretty solid approach to teaching children how to interact with the internet

  • Age is a state of mind

  • Unfortunately yes. I never watched it, but I read the synopsis and it introduces the mineshaft and the guy with the briefcase. Pretty stupid move on their part, because I don't actually know many people who even knew the stage play existed, even among pretty big fans of the show
