  • Rooting has always been beyond most users, even if it's technically trivial. It's definitely solvable, unfortunately most solutions in this direction tend to draw attention of corporate legal teams.

  • Dick Van Dyke, at 98, Becomes Oldest Daytime Emmy Winner Ever

  • I'm assuming they also saw the age and jumped ahead into the mourning process.

  • Windows won’t take screenshots of everything you do after all — unless you opt in

  • The "two steps forward, one step back" maneuver. Classic.

  • Workers at TJ Maxx and Marshalls are wearing police-like body cameras. Here’s how it’s going

  • In other words, they have a systemic issue is where the threat of prosecution isn't enough to deter employees from supplementing income with theft.

    I wonder what kind of conditions led to that.

  • Photoshop Terms of Service grants Adobe access to user projects for ‘content moderation’ and other purposes

  • I saw this coming and switched to GIMP and Inkscape. It's been a pain but I've managed. I'm just the IT guy though, and I would be laughed out of the room if I suggested our marketing team consider making the same switch.

    It's not a matter of seeing it coming. They just don't care.

  • Prosecutor asks Texas court to reverse governor's pardon of man who fatally shot demonstrator

    Jump

  • I think that's part of the problem with conservatives. They're already living in abject fear of everything.

    They've been groomed into believing a civil war is imminent and their neighbors are the enemy, to the point where they've started making moves toward actual civil war with their neighbors.

    They've been all been told: "There is the enemy, these are their flags, here is a gun, we can keep you out of jail."

  • we love open source!!1!

    Jump

  • I can't believe I had to scroll this far to find it this explanation.

    My first thought was "wait did discord saying something bad about FOSS lately?" No, nothing unusual. Must be missing something.

    Turns out some people see Discord as a sort of mascot for closed source, and that is what the joke hinged on.

    Edit:

    Actually it's worse than that, isn't it? They're seeing the coexistence of closed source as being antithetical to open source.

    Good luck with that I guess.

  • Daily marijuana use outpaces daily drinking in the US, a new study says

    Jump

  • Thanks for the heads up. Pretty fucked we have to live in a world where we can't be completely open with our health care professionals.

  • Daily marijuana use outpaces daily drinking in the US, a new study says

    Jump

  • That's me, sorta. For the first time since I turned 21 (so almost 15 years), I can have just one drink and not want another. I didn't even really try to cut back, it just happened naturally after I took up cannabis.

    Looking back, it's kind of incredible how much alcohol was bringing me down.

  • Daily marijuana use outpaces daily drinking in the US, a new study says

    Jump

  • I've lost 50 lbs in the past year. It is almost entirely due to the fact that I replaced alcohol with weed after it became legal here. I sleep better, eat better, I'm less anxious, and I actually look forward to working out now.

    It's very hard to see any downsides.

  • Windows 10 is EOL in October 2025

    Jump

  • I was thinking about this the other day. I support some very, very technologically limited users and I wondered if anyone out there is working on a distro/DE that looks and feels just enough like windows to get them by

    I would never have considered this before they announced Recall. Now it feels like I'm waiting to see just how hard they push it

  • Linux Inventor Says He Doesn’t Believe in Crypto

    Jump

  • Is it not clear which definition of Crypto he's using?

    Linus coming out against cryptography seems so unrealistically silly to me that it's not even worth considering.

  • What it's like to be a developer in 2024

    Jump

  • It showed up for me about a month ago. I put up with it for about a week and then broke down and finally switched all my browser search engines to duckduckgo.

    The funny thing is, I tried making this same switch a couple years ago. I legitimately had a harder time getting the results I needed and ended up switching back to Google.

    Google is worse than useless to me now.

  • Deactivating Facebook for just a few weeks reduces belief in fake news

  • How about Analogue August or Stop Scrolling September?

    I'll also say, Offline October is pretty dang good.

  • See, I read "a little ADHD" and could immediately think of real examples of family members, coworkers, and even medical professionals saying the full thing:

    "Everyone is a little ADHD, so don't worry about it so much."

    Or:

    "Everyone is a little ADHD, so I totally know what you're going through."

    Or my personal favorite:

    "Everyone is a little ADHD, so stop complaining."

  • Say it louder for the people in the back

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure the post is addressing the people who do not have ADHD and who go around saying things like "that's just called being forgetful" when someone describes their symptoms. I see it often in response to people openly questioning if they might have ADHD.

    I don't think it's addressing people who have ADHD but don't know it yet or are questioning.

    I have been experiencing a lot more of the "ADHD is made up" mentality lately than I ever have before. Not sure why exactly, but I'm guessing OOP has been feeling it too.

  • Say it louder for the people in the back

    Jump

  • Wow, that is absolutely different from how I read it, which is:

    "Stop gatekeeping ADHD just because the symptoms don't always look like symptoms."

    I've been experiencing a lot of problems lately where people don't want to take ADHD seriously. They brush it off as "oh everyone experiences that", and even sometimes take it all the way to "ADHD isn't real"
