The flags are facing the correct direction. On US military uniforms, on the right shoulder, flags are mirrored as if the person was walking forward and the flag was blowing behind them.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•A cow is more likely to kill you than a shark
31·5 天前A lot of people fall off roofs during solar installation. But that’s not an externality – these people know the risks, they can ask for higher pay, or choose to wear their PPE properly. The deaths from fossil fuels are mostly externalities.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•"Digital Signatures" just ask you to type your name into a box now. Am I right in thinking this almost-completely defeats the purpose of a signature?
51·6 天前IMO, that’s not a digital signature. That’s a normal signature on a computer. Digital signatures involve cryptography. For example, OpenPGP.
Sometimes that won’t protect you from getting a speeding ticket.

I can’t access this site because of a Datadome block.
I think this is a better representation of Debian (the beard is important). https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ken_Thompson,_2019.jpg
It’s really clickbaity. I came to the comments section looking for the reason drivers were “PANICKING” but couldn’t find it. It’s probably some trivial thing. I’m not gonna watch the video.

(And other countries’ legislatures, but as an American voter, I first need to hold my own legislature responsible.)

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•GOG confirm they are working towards GOG Galaxy on LinuxEnglish
2·15 天前GOG is a platform for selling closed source software. If the client was open source, would you be willing to use it to buy and run closed source games? If so, why are the requirements for the client different from the games?

Games@sh.itjust.works•What's the rarest Steam achievement you got?English
12·16 天前
Shadows of Doubt. These achievements are not rare because they are difficult, but because they are tedious. Most of the ones listed here are just repeatedly eating a food item, which costs almost nothing (1200 credits for solving a typical case, 700 for an easy case; 12 credits to buy a Croque Monsieur, the most expensive food in the game.)
Rat Catcher: Solve a murder while your PoV is at the ground, but you can crawl up walls, and also nobody will talk to you. This achievement is rare mostly because this game mode was added a few years after this game peaked in popularity.
Spare No One: KO everyone in town, in a game where you are discouraged from using violence. Finding a katana and knocking out everyone you see on the street is easy enough. The real challenge here is keeping track of everyone. Some NPCs glitch out and get stuck in their houses, never go outside, and never come to work. You’ll have to identify them, find out where they live, and hunt them down. Some NPCs have accented characters in their names, making them difficult to search for on the computers in game, which do not allow you to type such characters.
If you make a case board to keep track of everyone, the case board takes exponentially increasing time to open for each person you pin onto it. By the end, it was taking me about 5 seconds each time I opened it. That was in a custom procedurally generated town of the smallest possible size – it would be worse on any of the stock towns.
Out of the Red: pay off 10,000 to a loan shark in 1,000 credit increments, one payment per day. Raising 10,000 can be done in half a day easily. Paying it off takes for ever. You can’t make payments early. Each one-day wait takes a few minutes, since the game has to simulate every NPC in town. And remember to turn off the procedurally generated murders, because otherwise your loan shark might get killed, and you can’t make payments any more (it happened to me, and I had to load a save.)

Technology@lemmy.world•GrapheneOS duress PIN could land a man in prisonEnglish
6·16 天前Seedvault doesn’t backup apps whose developer chooses not to let you back them up. It doesn’t backup the encrypted keystore or the tee. It misses a lot, because Android fundamentally puts developers above users.
What kind of propaganda are you guys getting? In my 9th grade American history class they didn’t shy away from Native American genocide, police brutality (starting with the whiskey rebellion), and the civil war being about slavery. But that wasnt at a normal school.
It varies a lot by state. Most states it’s easier than this, some it’s harder.
The people emitting the carbon dioxide should pay for it, since climate change is responsible for much of the fire.
(This statement is not in disagreement with the post. See list.)
But the site approved Cutco? The pyramid scam of cheaply made knives?

politics @lemmy.world•Bipartisan group of senators introduces legislation to avert looming Social Security shortfall
5·27 天前Isn’t the solution obvious? You need more money, so increase the tax revenue. The easiest way is to end the limit on social security taxable income. Right now it’s like $200,000. Any money above that isn’t taxed by social security. So it’s a totally regressive tax. Make it a flat tax, with all income taxed equally, or make it a progressive tax, with larger income taxed more.
Second most obvious solution: make dividends, capital gains, and unrealized capital gains taxable by social security.
