Hi I'm Tim.

I'm AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.

  • Don't go worrying about that citizen, just keep using the now US run data collection honeypot. This will be another state run media platform, and will only embolden Miller and company when they desire to take over Facebook and/or Twitter as well.

    Edit - Ugh missed a word.

  • He was reporting answering or had just answered a question about gun violence. Someone asked if he knew how many shootings happen each day and he had some shit head "including gangs?" comment as part of his answer.

  • As Temperatures Rise, So Does Sugar Consumption

    Jump

  • The issue is that some alternatives are worse than the thing they are replacing, and alternatives are also not as "mainstream" and often more expensive. And if you're buying a drink you're getting whatever is in the mass produced beverage, unless you're going to spend the time to label shop and are prepared to leave empty handed.

  • The difference could be linked to a number of factors: Those with higher incomes often have more reliable access to safely drinkable tap water. They tend to work in indoor environments, where air-conditioning may mean there is less need to stay hydrated. And they may be more aware of the potential health consequences of high sugar consumption.

    When you are the 99% and are sweating your ass off I think people are thinking more of a cold drink to cool down more than, "oh man I better stay hydrated". And a lemonade tastes ace compared to another glass of water. And if you have enough money to have door to door AC it only makes more sense that like other food related things, if you have the means to have better your going to likely have better.

  • Ubuntu mod team takes anti-queer "Don't say gay" stance.

  • But why must they also allow bigotry if they allow people to express who they are? That is the biggest load of shit. So if I say "I have a husband of X years," they must also allow someone to say a bunch of bigotry as a counter view?

    Or if I say I like open source software they must allow the trolls that want to call me a dirty hippie and tell me to get a job so I can pay for software? And I agree everything is political, and ignoring it doesn't make it any less so.

  • Why is it so hard to get friends to leave Discord, WhatsApp, Instagram, and others? Anyone else feel this?

    Jump

  • The having to do something is the cost, because they have a perfectly good messaging app already, "why can't you just use that?"

    And that cost is more on Apple's platform because Apple has been designing it that way since the beginning. It's the whole reason android users got a different color bubble, not because they had to, but it was a way to identify the person that wasn't using an iPhone and make them stand out. Making it almost unimaginable to switch to Android for youth who care so much about not being "out" of the group.

    And Google has identified this, and put a lot of cringe-worthy effort into addressing it at their Pixel event this time around.

  • Well pre-RCS they routed android users differently because they were not compatible. Google did something similar, but in reverse, adding back things like reactions, etc. to make android users not feel like they were getting a 2nd rate experience.

  • Companies like Apple spent a lot to create a switching cost in almost every product. The "bubble" color is also a HUGE thing in the US, and is often times the sole reason for not wanting to leave iMessage.

  • rmlint: Extremely fast tool to remove duplicates and other lint from your filesystem

    Jump

  • I have heard "lint" or "delint"/"delinting" in terms of checking scripts for syntax errors and such, I have never heard it used in terms of deduping a filesystem, since that already has a term for it.

  • OK. I'm at wit's end attempting to convince Google's LLM to pronounce an English name correctly.

    Jump

  • I feel like at least with American english people have taken a lot of liberties in how they spell a name and then want it pronounced.

    And I first read it as Ra-sh, but also could see it as Ray-sh.

    What did you do to "teach it"?

  • At least 475 workers detained in major Ice raid at US Hyundai factory

    Jump

  • Oh the irony that Trump has used undocumented labor for his construction jobs for years. As a dictator though he probably has much less interest in doing construction when he can just steal tax dollars more easily.

  • Judge rules Trump’s use of national guard troops in LA Ice protests is illegal

    Jump

  • That would be some crazy precedent reversal, especially after at least 2 military folks (1 Marine and I think 1 National Guard) both said they saw no real threat to any federal officers. This is the biggest kangaroo court we've ever had though, so I guess we wait for Trump to appeal it and see.

  • U.S. orange juice shipments plummet as Canadians find Florida OJ hard to swallow

  • Maybe it's just a US thing, but calling orange juice just OJ is very common.

  • Capitalism doesn't reward shareholders for preparing for a downturn, the system demands profits must go up before any other considerations.

    And the companies themselves can't be trusted to do the right thing, that's why taxes should help pay for an oversight group to "keep them honest". And when caught skirting regulation they should be fined accordingly, and increasing fines for repeated offences. And if they still can't follow the rules shut them down and have them pay for it.
