  • Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections

    Jump

  • That's not how the filibuster works. It only takes one person to do it. It's take 60 to vote against it to stop it from being done by that one person. Even Schumer isn't dumb enough to call the dems to vote against them doing their own thing.

  • Should I be excited about Ladybird Browser ?

    Jump

  • Well, one example would be a web browser. I'm sure you can at least agree with the utility there. I would say it could also be a useful tool for a prototype, but the problem is, once you have a working prototype, that tends to become the final product.

  • Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested and in custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office

    Jump

  • That's not exactly the same as not asking for permission. They could have asked, but not told him when or how. I would assume they didn't, based on the wording, but there is some room where they could have still.

  • Should I be excited about Ladybird Browser ?

  • It's an HTML, CSS, JS renderer. The fact so many use Electron for bloated app GUIs doesn't mean that's what it is. Every browser is functionally the same thing as Electron (with even more stuff), but the use case requires it.

    This surely will be used to make bloated GUIs, but that's good if it replaces Electron and is faster. There is a use for Electron. It's just over-used.

  • New packaging can warn you when meat has spoiled

    Jump

  • No matter where you buy it, expiration dates are only a general guide, and more of a "date of manufacture" note than anything. We evolved to detect potential food that has gone bad. Trust your senses. Look and smell should be enough to know what's actually gone bad (which is usually past the "expiration" date). You can use something like this as a better guide for when food will actually go bad, but, again, trust your senses.

  • Open-source game engine Godot is drowning in 'AI slop' code contributions: 'I don't know how long we can keep it up'

    Jump

  • It won't sadly. I can run many on my computer. They'll still be available, even if every server-based one goes down.

  • Rep. Lieu said Full Epstein Files Show Allegations of Trump Raping and Threatening to Kill Children.

    Jump

  • Even after they're convicted, they usually say "convicted rapist" or whatever too. If it's for the sake of honesty, I appreciate it. Sometimes I'm certain it's to soften the language for the benefit of the accused though.

  • Elder Scrolls 6 Is Powered By New Version Of Creation Engine

    Jump

  • And Unreal Engine started on 1995. This argument always shows people's ignorance of software development. When the first pieces of the engine were built is not why it's shitty. It's because they haven't invested money into it where it matters. (Unreal Engine also has some serious issues. It just looks prettier.)

  • California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves

  • California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves

    Jump

  • I haven't read the bill, but from the description I think you could actually get around this by building your own. They can't sell a printer that doesn't have this, and you can disable it, but it doesn't say here that you can't build your own that never had the software. In that case, I assume we'll see kits that are totally not meant to be assembled into printers with all their parts you need, and then unrelated documentation online somewhere on how to assemble it.

  • Gottem

    Jump

  • No, the whole point is things occurred, but were not caused by a drug, but by the brain. It's still equally as valid.

  • "Overproduction" (Art by David Revoy)

    Jump

  • Most of the cost increase is speculation. They're purchasing the promise of hardware in the future. Luckily, once it crashes, this can be re-allocated (with some expense) for consumers again.

    But yeah, all the stuff in use probably isn't going to be sold to consumers. Contracts will just be canceled.

  • GOP Lawmaker Asks God To Cleanse Government of Non-Believers at Christian Nationalist Event

    Jump

  • I don't give a shit about their religion. I care about what they believe, and do. Religion can be part of it, but it isn't necessarily.

  • When DinoCon is doing more than the US Gov

    Jump

  • Also, if you're someone who is seeking power, you do everything you can to suck up to people with it. There are plenty of people in every field who are willing to put up with, or do, horrible things to be treated like they're special.

  • FBI officially refuses to give local investigators any evidence in Minneapolis shootings

    Jump

  • The last bit may be. The former, probably not, until a court orders them to hand it over.

    Just think about it in the context of a person doing this. If you witness a crime, you don't have to hand over, for example, video of the crime just because they ask for it. They need to get a court to order you to hand it over. Or, if you commit a crime, you don't have to provide them with evidence. They have to have a court order you to hand it over.

    Again, if they actually cared about law enforcement then they'd obviously hand it over. They don't though. It's just not a crime that they aren't handing it over until they're ordered to. It proves that they are the enemy, and not legitimate law enforcement, but that isn't illegal.

  • Money is fungible, right? Let's say we have a limited budget. We have to decide how to spend it. In order to fund one thing we must defund another (or increase the budget, aka increase taxes, which isn't popular).

    OK, so let's say we find there's ways to decrease crime that are more effective than police. We should want to fund that, correct? We have to find a way to pay for it now. We need to take money from one service to fund this other service. Since it's doing the same job as police, but with a better effect/cost, we should probably consider defining police to pay for this, right?

    It turns out, we do have the data to show these services do exist and are more cost-effective than police. What should we do?

  • The "abolish police" crowd you're talking about were never asking for no policing. They were asking for a change in how it's done. In my opinion, ideally, it would be abolishing the police as it exists today, and implementing community policing in some form. This seems to be a step towards that at least, but one important compenent is that the police should have to be a part of the community being policed. If they're outsiders, like they frequently are today, they have no stake in the community.

    Anyway, obviously we still need some kind of policing. The shit you're told is a lie though. People wanted the police system we have today gone and replaced with more effective alternatives. Showing that changing how policing works having a positive effect only proves the point.

    However, this doesn't prove anything else. For all we know, from this information, getting rid of police entirely could have a beneficial effect. The data here doesn't give us any information on that, so even the most extreme "no policing" stance that you're strawmaning isn't disproven here. We don't have information to make an inference. It just makes you look stupid to claim this proves more policing is good. I can show you data where that alone has been bad, but obviously that wouldn't prove that sometimes more policing can be good, and I wouldn't make that claim because I'm not an idiot.

  • FBI officially refuses to give local investigators any evidence in Minneapolis shootings

    Jump

  • This is Lemmy.world, and I've heard their administration is pretty strict, so maybe. If this were a more reasonable instance then I'd imagine not. They're public officials, and the picture of their face would have been presumably been taken in public (or shared publicly). It should be fine to share, and the officer should be proud to be recognized for their work.

  • FBI officially refuses to give local investigators any evidence in Minneapolis shootings

    Jump

  • OK, I agree they should give any information they have, assuming they're working in good faith on law enforcement (they aren't). However, it is not illegal to refuse to assist a criminal investigation. You have to follow court orders, but if the police ask if you saw something you can legally not respond. This is wrong, but it isn't a crime (yet).
